Help me out here... I watch a handful of news outlets on T.V. They show the rockets hitting targets in Iran.. most of the footage is of single vehicles and single air craft. Kaboom,, they are dust... great... Tell me I am wrong by thinking those items are just bait to use up our munitions, and they already have strong nuclear rockets. Obviously I have zero knowledge about military combat, but this looks too easy to me..

I wish I could say it’s consistent, but it’s not. It just gets you when you don’t expect/want it. On level or a down grade start, it will ‘usually’ stick..(except on the second Tuesday of the week). Aux low or high makes no difference.. If I put the aux trans in neutral first, it will release. But then you can get stuck in double neutral on the way to 2L. (1H to Aux L will not let you out of 1 to get to 2L) On a slight UPHILL start, it will usually release. ?? At very low speed <5mph, it will release. Repeated attempts to replicate with F/R, will ‘usually’ allow it to release in subsequent starts - hi or low. (Yes the trans oil is at full level, and you can travel long distance and still hang w next start, so lube should not be a problem) Makes no difference bobtail, or loaded towing. (Obviously don’t need 1st when bobtail, but it still sticks w no load) Just a PITA when towing loaded.

Not to be taking away from the original concept of the story of marinating meat in Dr. Pepper, about the only thing I've found that Dr. Pepper is good used as a mixer in is Kraken rum. It's very good😊

Paul...... I Wont !!

Some years ago I decided that for some dumb reason that pork belly marinated in Dr Pepper would be the go This gets even dumber, Dr Pepper isn't really available in Australia and I have never tasted it in my life So I have no idea were, when or why this idea popped into my peanut of a brain, but it did and bugger me, I was gunna do it So I ordered on line Dr Pepper that arrived all okay in small funny sized cans I then soaked/marinated the pork belly in Dr Pepper for a day Then popped the whole shooting (Dr Pepper and Pork belly) match into the slow cooker for the day Visualising my success, I retrieved said pork belly that was resolving like pulled pork of deal And much to my surprise, it was as bland and dry and horrible as you could imagine It was crap, anyway, made up a bit of a gravey type of deal with the Dr Pepper that came from the slow cooker Didn't really help A few lessons I have learnt Spam doesn't fail me like this, ever..... Juat because I imagine something will cook and taste good, doesn't mean it actually does I have no idea about cooking Don't try this type of experimentation with the Princess around as she will announce to all and sundry how I stuffed it up And finally, if Miss Molly the border collie won't touch it, it's bad And Dr Pepper isn't as nice as I thought it would be, even if I add Bourbon and ice ha ha Paul

Little update. I found a wrench to get oil filter housing off 237 without any fuss. Happen to have an offset box end wrench that just fit. I got twin filter mounted and painted with motor. I have turbo feed line 1/2 installed but will wait to cut other end to length until after I get valve covers fitted and make sure line is correct length. My package showed up from Kevin with my offset plate for tip turbine along with dog leg rubber feed hose. I did find that these valve covers don't clear the mounting bolts for rockers(on top of Jake's). I think my 237s don't have this reinforcement plate under mounting holes. Or maybe it is just because I don't have gaskets in place yet? It's close, so maybe those will shim covers up enough. Will check into that. EDIT: with two gaskets it looks like it just clears. Likely just like the 237 was. I didn't got out and look at 237 covers. I am painting pieces and mocking up. Very close to getting intake pieces in for good. Kevin sent me a template to mark frame for R power steering box. Something else to get working on. Hoping to maybe prime this up by next weekend. I have filters and oil for it. Once I get turbo feed line on, it is ready.

Oh ya, that is an entire tear down deal. Have you had the lid off?

I does great unless we get single digit weather at night in the morning I have to turn on the heater a while but I changed the. Blower a few years ago and picked one that doesn’t blow as fast as the original… with the old motor it works a little better… but it’s 45 years old I will be putting in a brand new pellet stove after this season

The weather is beautiful today, eh? (That's Canadian, I learned it watching Highway Thru Hell. I love that show, I had many episodes saved from the Weather Channel that I watched, then I watched some on Tubi, now I'm watching it on the Roku channel. I don't know if you can still watch new episodes around these parts or not. I'm not sure they're even still filming it, but I think they are.) Anyhow, I didn't know whether to put this on the weather thread, the cooking thread, or pictures of the week. I put a pork loin on the smoker because it was so nice outside I thought I should be sitting outside smoking something, whether it needed it or not. Zina's at the bingo playing place playing bingo. I just turned it over. The cows in the field were looking at me funny, but I told them it was pork. They're ok with that. I believe it's Miller time now.
