I once entered a chili contest at work. Went up against special family recipes and all kinds of exotic ingredients and special spices. I came in 2nd after a taste off tie breaker for first...

I has to listen to this all afternoon. Our local authorities and news sources couldn't get a handle on this to save their lives. Closed all the local border crossings and had bomb sniffing dogs at the airport. Closed a shitload of government buildings. Fucking idiots.

Wait and see what happens when the seals start breaking on all the lithium bombs on the roads.
 

misdemeanor pandering ... allegedly


The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office charged him with pandering, which is a misdemeanor in Georgia. Deputies say he allegedly solicited sex from an undercover officer in a motel room where the department had set up the two-day human trafficking operation.
 


Out of ALL of the retrofuturistic aesthetics that came out in the 1950s, the AR-15 design and profile is one of the few that lasted until the current day, got upgraded continually, and will continue to be an icon well into the future. You will see renditions of future space combat and sci-fi planetary outpost artwork made right now that still happily show AR pattern rifles and carbines being carried and used...
 
My problem was the seal on the fwd clutch piston. Pretty much the very last thing to come out of the case, on a spring loaded piston held down with a pretty stout snap ring. 1972 ford f150 with a 360. I had to bum a ride with one of the hotel workers and rented a transmission jack. Bought a creeper, fluid, and overhaul kit at Napa.
They didn’t make F-150’s in 1972

Owned a 68 f-100 with the 3 on the column. It was wonderful. :( Truck would go totally black (Lights out interior and exterior/no headlights) while night driving. Quite without warning. Three on the tree gave it the pulling power of a worn out Volkswagen. Traded it for a large load of hay. Hay turned out bad, nothing would eat it. Fellow who got the truck complained that it burned oil. (Duh, we told you it burned oil, are you DEAF!). Gave the hay away to a fellow in the paving business to put out in the ditches of the roads he was repairing. That was the best part of the entire deal, cleared out room in my barn for good hay.

Next owned a 71 3/4 ton with a 360 and 4speed. Had to wear seat belts when driving or one would get knocked out from your head hitting the steel roof of the cab. Rode that bad, bounced that good. Got rid of the split rims in favor of the popular steel white rims that everyone craved during the 70’s. Possibly the best of our Fords, but a bearing was going bad. Traded it off for an 8N Ford Tractor. Told the fellow about the bearing. Still, he got the better part of the deal. Tractor turned out to be a really bad deal. To get one days work out of it, you had to work ON IT for a day. Nearly killed me. Learned the true value of a roll bar. (A quarter more turn as that tractor was turning over and I would be a grease spot at the tender age of 28.). That would have been wonderful, survived Vietnam; killed by a tractor turning over.

Final Ford was a 81 3/4 ton with the 300 six. Another bad deal. Dealer told more lies than hiden biden. It ran ok, used it for years, spent a fair amount of money upgrading the items that were supposed to be upgraded when we purchased it. Still it was struggling to get over 150,000.

Next purchased a used 1990 1/2 ton Suburban. Pulled boats with it for years. Nice truck. Got almost 300,000 out of it. Next was a used 2000 3/4 ton Suburban in 2008. Got close to 300,000 on it now. Been all over the country in it. No longer our main transportation, but still useful.

Guess if you like Ford trucks, great, enjoy your Ford trucks, I’m sticking with GMC. (And John Deere)

I can only image how loud that sumbitch is!

I would love to be standing behind one with double ear pro on. Murica!!!

Had a former artillery guy working for me. He had found himself in the wrong place without ear pro. Wearing hearing aids at 35. If you were not facing him, he didn’t hear crap. If you had a thick accent, forget about talking to him.

Was on the skeet field with a guy who was former marine . He did not put on any hearing protection before we started. I reminded him about it. Hey, where are are your ears?
He said he was in Iraq and was an M2 50 cal gunner, and was deaf as shit. So to him it didn't matter. he was about 32 yo at the time.
 
Worked with a guy who's idea of hearing protection was removing his hearing aids and putting them in his Skoal can. To many years in the bottom of 16 to 20' dia shafts using a three boom shaft jumbo with GD PR123 hammers. When those set in you can feel it in your bones. I always wore plugs and muffs.

But on the other hand that roar gets into your soul. Out of the business for about 15 years and I would still rather listen to that than hear a pretty woman fart.

Thank you,
