Called a TeePee burner, used to incinerate waste from the sawmill in the days before value added products. Had a half dozen in my neighborhood in the 60's, now only 1 or 2 are standing. Used to drive by them at night and the would be glowing red/ orange ! I really need to stop and get a photo before the last of them go away.

I would pick a bone with this, it was not the 60's. It was in 1979. Now what happened in 1979?
LOL..

A group of people I knew had a name for it " 3B's ". Beers, Burgers and bullshiting, that usually involved dropping transmission / transfer cases etc ( I might add, with out the proper lifts / stands etc ).
I won’t disagree with the department of education reference.
But ask yourself the question:
Who was responsible for creating it staffing it and who were running the schools by that point. 20- and 30-somethingsomething former 60s hippie radicals.
Who the hell do you think is running the Senate and the deep state now? All these septagenarian fruit bats are former Woodstock acid washed hippies who infiltrated government and are trying to create their shining path before they die.
And huge numbers of them were compromised by the KGB back in the 1960s. Because through the US Canada Institute and other fronts, the Soviet union was massively driving the peace movement and the drug movement and all the other radicals.
Yep, it took them until the 1970s. And then another 40 years to get to where they run everything. But make no mistake about it. These are fullbore communist radicals at every level.
Fortunately, they’re all going to die soon. Of old age. And I have a lot of faith in Gen X and their ability to bring us back from the brink.
Cheers.
I thought it was the corner, or was it the tree, or the light post, or the fire?
“For an unknown reason, the driver lost control of the vehicle and the vehicle partially spun around and began to travel in a south-easterly direction.” The coroner report stated, “The vehicle then struck a sidewalk and the driver’s side struck a tree and then a light post. The force of these collisions caused the vehicle to spin 180 degrees and it continued to travel in an easterly direction. The passenger side of the vehicle then struck a tree and it then burst into flames.”
How Did Paul Walker Die? His Daughter’s Cameo In Fast X Honors His Legacy
It’s been a long time…stylecaster.com
It was the age of the tires that caused the loss of control on what was a pretty routine test drive. I’m surprised this is not common knowledge here.
The Truth Behind What Caused Paul Walker's Fatal Crash
The likely cause is so mundane we never talk about it. Let's change that.

I agree as well,
I think a lot of the Gen X people are looking at this shit show and saying, this is just not right. Now we all know there are people on the other side of the argument, but I really think there is not as many of those as we are lead to believe. A "silent majority" I think is a thing. The people that just want to be left the hell alone and do their own thing, send their kids to school, work, pay taxes, buy a house......... but they are seeing the attack on those things, those base 1 things and now they are getting noisy. And they are coming together. Nothing will bring a trump hat wearing guy and a feminist mother together faster then a tranny following the daughter into the bathroom. Or learning in the school the finer points of anal sex. They have pushed the line for decades and finally found where "normal" people will come together and say enough of this shit, this is just crazy.
I also think the millennials and Gen Z (my son) are not having any of this.....again for the most part. They see the pure evil of all this and are not liking it one bit. the 20's 30's 40's are not liking this one bit.
Yes he blew it and did not ask for a parking lot test of the tires.
Its also stupid to not learn from his mistake.
Paul Walker was a solid guy. And anything but stupid.
I was only joking a little bit, but that has some interesting information.
"Automobile compression ratios increased from an average of 5.3-to-1 in 1931 to just 6.7-to-1 in 1946."

A former Budget employee said so. Must be true.
Doing what he did, where he did it is pure stupid, on a Darwin award level. Yes he was very stupid.
Would that be during the days of Calvin Coolidge?
So that would have been on State Line? You love the XJ6 S3? They spanned a lot of years.
You mentioned golf balls but never mentioned the condition of the inner liner of the tire as I suspect could have been a heat issue. Also, you never addressed the year nor the tire brand, I have very little to go on.

In my experience this most often happens on a Friday about 3pm and there is usually an 8 or a 9 on the side.

Tires seem to have a very short shelf life now days. Dry rot and hardening are not a new thing obviously, but it sure seems like the shelf life is a whole lot shorter now days that what it was most of my life. Which makes me wonder. Do we just know more now? Or are they made differently now? Was it a change forced on them? (environmental reasons for example) Was it a changed that happened for financial reasons? (they just make them cheaper) Or was it intentional, for financial reasons? (forced obsolescence)

Wait……Hollywood tells us the 20-30 years after the collapse of civilization car‘s will be running around at 100mph+…….now don’t try to convince me Hollywood doesn’t know what their talking about…..
Many things, tires included, have had their useful life span reduced by lawyers.
Thank you,

...and fuel and batteries are still viable. Apparently, Prof Roy Hinkley passed along much of what he learned while a castaway.
Here's another really awesome IOM TT onboard video.
In Daylight's End it's been 3 years. Batteries can be charged still but fuel would definately be a problem. I don't know how long you realistically can get fuel to last with just stabilizer.
Diesel should be easier to get working if it's an old less fussy diesel. Motorcycles may be an easier bet. Old carbureted low compression bikes.
I so want to go see that race sometime. But it is an absolute circus and just getting a tent site is ridiculous.
So... going to watch on TV. I think Vintage LeMans might be more fun.
BTW, the 24 Hours of Daytona is absolutely the best race I ever went to. So much fun. No crowds. And great time of year to not be in New England.
Sirhr
^ STA-BIL says up to two years. Diesel...not so sure. I've seen far more fuel issues with diesel than gas. Lots of RV owners are shocked when the engine doesn't start after six months and the tech tells them the tank needs to be drained and cleaned plus new filters. If you want to accelerate the process, use bio-diesel.
Old diesels like a 12v Cummins or old humvee's etc with mechanical injection can run on shit like K2 from farm tanks for a long time. The fuel problems come from modern diesel engines that need low sulfur and have emissions tech.
Theoretically you can filter old gasoline or distil the water etc out of it and limp it along. But more modern cars won't like it due to lower octane rating over time. Suzuki DR650 could probably run for years tho lol.
Basically if you don't have a farm with a bunch of tanks full of kerosine, a DR650 and a duce in a half you're fucked 
Fake list. No where does it list “Stairway to heaven.”
We were living the best of America and didn't even know it.
110 octane Chevron out of the white pump @$.63 a gallon.
Big block 440s pulled out of junkyard Imperials stuffed full of 12 1/2 TRW's and big Direct Connection camshafts.
906s reworked the best we could with the Direct Connection Battleship Springs.
8 inch torque converters pulled out of Chevy Vegas (would roll all the fins over after about every third pass) so show up at the dragstrip with a six pack of them (we later learned to cut the torque converter's open braze weld the fins).
A B&M Cheetah manual valve body with a B&M quick click shifter .
Get Dana 60 custom offset wide steel rims and axles here contact-dutchman-axles.html add a spool with 4:56s and a set of M/T slicks and front runners.
Pull up.
Line lock stall that engine until the carburetor was banging against the hood.
Smoke Winston cigarettes and drink Blitz beer.
Come on GEN Xers and Gen Xers children let's turn this all around let's make America a place for individuals of self governance.

Oh yea - Black Betty was my favorite boat in that VOR
Carbon fiber boat is kinda dark inside, except when they're on fire.
If only the bullet had been a two legged instead of just one!!!!! ( posies)
