Shankhole.. How wonderful is it to open up the hood and actually see the engine? It took me a second or two to get my bearings.

Lake Mead has just reached tier 2. It is below 1050 feet which means that the Hoover Dam may need to shut down 12 of their 17 turbines. So that means less juice available for electric cars. I think they're forcing us into paying for more nuke plants. If so, the SMR types are the way to go.

Its honestly an amazing machine, It has a knob to adjust your magneto timing.an enriching knob for adjusting fuel.
the bad part is you set the throttle like a tractor(lever) and put it in gear then in a panic push in the clutch and brakes if something jumps out (no gas pedal). She gets close the MPG as most modern cars its just WAY SLOWER!  But she runs great to this day with one hone and rings is all! 1929 till 2022.

Think about it. That truck will be around 100 years from now. Even longer.
I'd rivet a brass plate somewhere with my name on it.

 I will put my paws all over it enough to leave DNA there for ever! I also worked on a 1 of 50 dodges bros truck that I have my company brand on the underside of the bed. I will brand the wood bed on the A underside as well some one put plywood on the bed floor. I already have the 1/4 sawn white oak for it.                                     .

.... oil companies continue to rake it in, $$$B every qtr. Most major corps are recording record profits, w record ceo pay. maybe the inflation problem is the corporations.

Two more oil companies have reported record shattering, and staggering, profits: exxon & chevron have just reported record profits for the latest qtr. exxon profit doubled for the QUARTER to over $5.5 BILLION, while chevron profit quadrupled to over $6 BILLION for the QUARTER. these aren't annual profits; they're quarterly profits. but President Biden is the problem? the problem is one radical political party does everything to benefit large corporations & the wealthy which would include the ceo's of those corps. if there's a gasoline price crisis & an inflation crisis & corporations are booking record profits & ceo pay is at record multiples of avg pay, all during a pandemic, the problem isn't Biden or the Dems, the problem is greedy corps & their greedy ceos. The poorest county in the US is in KY. 95% white & vote overwhelmingly republican, yet the vast majority are on welfare & are too ignorant to understand that without the Dems, they'd be sleeping in boxes & eating grass.

Mean Corporations how dare the try to make up for 22.4 billion dollar loss in 2020. Or the 3.4 billion they lost because of the war in Ukraine. Such Greedy corporations. Here is Exxon’s 2021 annual report. Notice they reduced their debt by 20B. This doesn’t even mention how many employees are supported, what their tax revenues are to the US government, or the monies paid out to benefactors through shares held in retirement account…. Gosh the corporations are so mean and greedy.
