    The market wasn't "cheap". I already said the house cost 3X what my annual salary was. I'm sure the man I bought the place from made a profit. I remodeled that house myself. I added onto that house myself. And I live in one of the most inbound places in the U.S. North Texas. That county I lived...

    My children and grandchildren do not have to resort to renting. That would be the victim mentality you possess, and mine will not have it. I have voted since 1998, and never punched the ticket for a single Demonrat. In 2002 I was making $34k a year. I bought a house for $108k. It was all I...

    My parents are Boomers. So that makes me Gen X. Through working eight days a week, and working more than one job for decades, my station in life is higher than my parents ever thought I would get to. I've sacrificed my time, my money, and my health at times to continue to improve my situation. I...

    That's because they are not plumbing.

    That can will put out a whole lot of fire, in the right hands. I've got a Truckie heart. Halligan and Flathead, now "The Pig" is what I've carried more than anything, if not first in pulling hose. I'm good at breaking shit! We are not locked out of or inside anything! Truckie's Irons are the...

    No instructor ever tells us to call 9-1-1, because we are 9-1-1. We are that situation where FD is doing everything, that you mentioned. And it's been that way much longer than my 23 years with this FD. The Fire Department owns and staffs Engines, a Truck, and Ambulances. Two...

    Well kiss Antarctica goodbye……

    Why can I stand on a Texas beach, and face the Gulf Of Mexico, but not see oil platforms more than 3 miles out?

    Well kiss Antarctica goodbye……

    I'm sorry, I do not remember. He was featured on Texas Country Reporter several years ago. Their catalog is not showing him yet. It think they just started working on the catalog. That's going to be a big task, considering the show turned 50 years old last year.

    Well kiss Antarctica goodbye……

    Exactly right. I did a whole lot of research before I designed and built my house. Orientation on the compass was extremely important. And the next importance was window placement and eave depth. I learned a great deal about the sun's path in the sky for all 12 months of the year. Elevation and...

    I just did a quick search, so it could be bullshit. Allegedly a cat can jump 6X his/her height. A 6' tall man could jump to 36'. Flat footed, jump to the roof of a three story building.

    I don't think it was anything other than naturally aspirated. Its been a while since I watched everything. So, yes that stacks the deck in favor of the 300. But it was still impressive they made a straight 6 make over four times as much power as it did from the factory.

    Months ago I was researching engine building for a Ford 400 V8 that I have. When I had found the end of the internet on old Ford V8's I got curious about the Ford 300 I-6. Some well funded engine building guys got one that was originally driving some kind of water pump. They repaired it, and got...

    That one at 5:30 probably glows in the dark. Evidently Ireland only gets between 1100 and 1600 hours of sunshine per year. She needs to make good use of that time.

    What angle could it climb? Genuine question. I would like to know. It's an impressive aircraft at any rate.

    A friend of mine was Air Force, and deployed in 2003 or 2004 (if memory serves). He said at night you'd hear and feel the rumble. He said "B1-B is in town." On take off, they'd point the nose straight up and immediately gain altitude. A freaking bomber! USA! USA! USA!

    BREAKING: TX/ABBOT JUST PUT FEDS ON NOTICE!!!!!

    I read into it more. It was Governor's orders they say they were following. And he, and they were wrong about what they did. It was an "Open Carry" group. Whatever, open carry is not something I am ever going to do in public. But they can do as they please. I made fun of Abbott when DeSantis...
