Welll, perhaps the snake thought he would go well with the gas station.
We did get a line of tstorms last night, so hopefully that helped the crops.Good afternoon. Got the '69 AMX loaded and on its way to the new owner this afternoon and managed to get some yard work done.
MikeInHubCity - The showers we got the last two evening are unusual. Wish I could help you. Have you tried a rain dance?? View attachment 29189
Tomorrow I'm headed over to Butte to see the dentist and have my permanent bridge put in. May do a bit of sight seeing if I have the time.
Gotta get out of here and start the grill. Steaks tonight.
Later.
In the consumer goods industry, it's called 'planned obsolescence' or 'job creation'. Got'ta keep the parts and service departments in work and profit. I remember asking, when buying a part for my 1937 Ford businessman's coupe, when I was about 20 (it was 1year older than me at the time), what it would cost to build a car from parts. The guy I asked said, "About 8 times as much, then you'd have to put it all together".Yeah, you're right on the poor engineering, except this design has been in production since the 1940s.
They just don't want to re-engineer the oil lines of the motor.
