Let us add a quick hello to our buddy Nick and his mom in
Pennsylvania. Thanks for being such loyal fans!
Duck Fan Chris Doyle stopped by the Museum today to get
the low-down on the $1, and has the pictures to prove it. I
think Therese was a little freaked out, but it keeps her on her
toes.
We just completed our participation in the St. Louis leg of the
Special Olympics World's Largest Truck Convoy. We had a
nice turnout, but could always use more trucks for such a
great cause. We're putting together a challenge to our fans
for next year's Convoy. We'll have more details in the future.
OK gang. I'm getting another "itch" to do this again, so if you
have CREDIBLE information regarding the whereabouts of a
famous truck or trailer from TV's or movies, please e-mail me.
I'm not looking for anything in particular, but I would like to
explore my options!
We had a great time working with Nick Robespierre on his
documentary Running Heavy. The Duck ran well and looked
good on the daily's. We'll keep you updated on the release.
If you get a free minute, take a look at Robb Mariani's
website. I think you'll be seeing him quite a bit in the near
future. Details to follow.....
We were fortunate enough to run into Paul and Craig
Sagehorn at the Museum of Transportation Saturday
afternoon. If you don't know the name, you should. Paul and
Craig are the owners of the surviving Kenworth W925 from
Movin' On and one of the original Kenworth K100's from BJ
and the Bear. They were in-town for a meeting and took time
out of their day to come see the Duck.
We did install the correct 10.00R22 two hand hole steel
wheels on the truck, but the wheels combined with the bias ply
tires make the truck ride like it is rolling over an active fault
line. SO......we're probably going to go back to the 11R24.5
tubeless to keep it from shaking apart.
The Convoy Truck and Trailer remain on display at the
Museum of Transportation at 3015 Barrett Station Road in
west St. Louis County. It will probably be there until the
weather turns for the winter. After much consideration, I
strongly believe this is the best way to make the truck
available to the public while supporting an excellent facility.
The Museum is an internationally renowned museum with
arguably the finest and most diverse collection of railroad
locomotives and rolling stock in a single location. As a
volunteer at the Museum for a number of years, I am partial to
the fine work and effort that the Transportation Museum
Association, the County Parks employees and volunteers have
put in to make it what it is today. The Museum is the premier
St. Louis County Park and is open 7 days per week, typically
9am to 5pm. For more information, please visit their site at
http://transportmuseumassociation.org. If you go there,
please ask to see Ms. Brady and tell her to "give Dan back his
dollar". You'll instantly be in the know. If you want to really
be in the know, ask her how she sleeps at night after cheating
one of her employees out of $1.
