A Thomas conventional style School Bus on the International 3800 chassis & cowl with the DT360 diesel engine.

This chassis & cowl was produced not too long after the 3800 had replaced the S-Series.

The DT360, DT466, and the 9.0 liter V8 diesel engines, and the MV404 and the MV446 (the gasoline ancestors of the 6.9 and 7.3 liter IDI diesels) and the SV392 are my favorite engines in the International conventional chassis & cowl and transit stripped chassis. For as wonderful as the 6.9 and 7.3 liter IDI diesels and the T444 were in Ford light-duty trucks and in the Econoline, I’ve never liked them in International Medium-Duty trucks. And nor have I ever liked the problematic VT365 and MaxxForce 7 diesel engines in International Medium-Duty trucks.

I’ve also never cared for the SV345 gasoline engine.

I also like the ancient International FBC/RED 401, RD406, RED 450, and RD501 inline-6 gasoline engines.

And I also like the International LV401, LV461, LV478, LV549, V537, and V605 gasoline engines that were used in their Class 8 Heavy-Duty trucks, some of their heaviest Farm & Construction equipment; and was also industrialized for third-party manufacturers for usage in standby generators and the like.

The world would be a better place without tattoos, end of story.

Just like how the world would be a better place without sports.

More photos of Fifth-Wheel trailers.

The types of hitch required to tow a Fifth-Wheel trailer-a Fifth-Wheel hitch mounted to the bed of the truck or a Gooseneck hitch mounted to the bed of the truck with an adapter for the Fifth-Wheel receiver.

Another one of the last TC/2000s ever made before it’s discontinuation in late 2004.

If you’ve been following this blog, you know that I don’t care about sports, end of story; and I would like to transform fit and muscular men into being fat and overweight, status quo.

The world would be a better place without sports.

The one and only quality about NBA player Steve Nash that I like, that is; as I have an interest in the Commonwealth nations-including South Africa and Canada, and that most of the population in the Commonwealth nations are of English, Scottish, and Welsh descent; that Steve Nash is a South African of English extraction.

Steve Nash and his family had moved to Canada from South Africa when he was a child.

This is also the only quality that I like about NBA player Cameron Bairstow-that as Australia is a Commonwealth nation, and as, again; most of the population in the Commonwealth nations are of English, Scottish, and Welsh descent; that Cameron Bairstow is an Australian of English extraction.

If and when we do get a Class 3 pickup truck and a Fifth-Wheel trailer in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” and we travel to Vermont stay there for a little while in the Fifth-Wheel trailer, these are either of the 2 campgrounds we’d stay at for a month or two.

Another rear-engine TC/2000.

This one happens to have stainless steel wheel liners fitted to it, which personally do not suit my fancy.

Only the archetypical steel wheels painted black suit my fancy when it comes to a School Bus. Particularly the Dayton wheels and not the Budd wheels.

This single-story house plan would require the modifications of the remaining 2 auxiliary bedrooms to be suited for permanent usage, and the addition of a 4th bedroom.

With these modifications, this house plan would be doable for building a house that my parents, I, and my paternal grandmother would move into together.

This house already has a 3-car garage, and the breezeway connecting the house to the detached garage is pleasing.

In fact, we would prefer a detached garage over an attached garage, but an attached garage is not what you would call a ‘deal breaker’.

These house plans I would be glad to call home. The front porch and the front entryway feel very welcoming.

Of course, these floorplans would need modification to be doable for consideration as a house we’d build to move into with my paternal grandmother. A 4th bedroom for one, and the modification of the garage into a 3-car garage in the case of the 3rd plan to be linked below.

Then again, getting a multi-story home like this wouldn’t be our first choice unless it had an elevator.

An interesting house plan with a hexagonal shape and an indoor courtyard within the center of the ‘hexagon’.

This house has 5 bedrooms (6 if you count the guest suite)

This house plan would be doable in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” as a house for my parents, I, and my paternal grandmother to live in together if we had built our own house instead of buying a house that’s already built.

The only modification that I would make to this house plan would be that I would change the garage from being a 2-car garage to a 3-car garage. I am aware of the square footage of this house increasing if I were to change the size of the garage to a 3-car garage.

I would never want to live in a mansion, nevertheless build my own. But here are some Mansion house plans, the stereotypical of home with a elevator built into them; that seem to catch the eye of yours truly.

This young CEO of a pharmaceutical company, Martin Shkreli; who has been arrested by the FBI and is being indebted on charges of securities fraud and released on bail reminds me a lot of NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.

Martin Shkreli had dropped out of high School, and had later earned credits necessary for his diploma through a program that placed him in an internship at the Wall Street hedge fund Cramer, Berkowitz and Company when he was 17 years old. Even later, he had also performed an act of one-upmanship by donating $1 Million dollars to the High School that he had dropped out of. Some faculty and alumni perceive this donation by Martin Shkreli as a ‘take that’ act of retaliation.

Now you tell me how an immature, High School dropout such as Martin Shkreli had become a CEO of a pharmaceutical company.

Martin Shkreli had also spent $2 million at an auction for an album of weirdo music, is very active on an internet battle arena, and during the aftermath of his testimony before Congress regarding his price hike of the drug Daraprim; Martin Shkreli had even wrote “hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government”. Immature for a CEO if you ask me. If Martin Shkreli would want to know something, he is the one who is the imbecilic person and not the members of Congress who he had to testify in front of.

Martin Shkreli should be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening Music. And Martin Shkreli should be transported on a School Bus.

Not only does Martin Shkreli look like Denny Hamlin, he also seems to act like Denny Hamlin. Both have an equally flamboyant personality.

Of course, Denny Hamlin lives in a fancy mansion, drives a Lexus LS; and has an (icky, yucky) Basketball court on his property.

Even these photos depict just how much of a loggerhead Martin Shkreli is:
