I asked the seller man what kind of oil he used and that's what he said. He's also a truck owner, as in A model Kenworth.

Zina bought this pickup truck she wanted, a 1955 Ford F100. I changed the oil in it shortly after we got it because the man we bought it from said he was going to, but never got around to it. I know how that goes!..anyhow, I put Motorcraft 5W-30 synthetic blend oil in it. It was not cheap oil. Then I read on an F100 group I'm in, or maybe it was the 351-400M group I'm in, that you should use conventional oil with a high zinc content in these engines, either 10W-30 or 10W-40. So maybe I was overthinking things, but I changed the oil again and put 10W-30 Castrol conventional oil in it and a bottle of this- Better safe than sorry I guess.

I think the ribs are done but I brought them in and put them in the oven anyway. I serve no swine before it's time. Zina tried some and said they were delicious. I'm still drinking a delicious cold Miller Lite and watching the exciting motion picture, called "Fall".

...as the late, great, Glenn Frey said "I'm already gone".

I just turned the pieces over- looking pretty good so far. I keep the barrel in the shed so I use it on the opposite side of the fence from everything else. That's some high tech equipment there.

Well whaddya know!

Yes, that is but a distant memory...I think. I remember last year I found one that I had squirreled away somewhere and forgot about.

In response to all those cards, letters, and phone calls I've been getting about those ribs, I just put them on the smoker. Or in the smoker, whichever you prefer. I used the pit barrel cooker so I could hang 2 racks and put those ugly pieces on the grill. It's a very handy smoker. I cut the one rack up because I watched a Myron Mixon video and wanted to try a marinade he used on a pork loin. He said he first used it in ribs though, so I cut one up so they would fit in a plastic bowl. I marinated it almost 24 hours in a mixture of orange juice, ginger ale, and salt. I had all the ingredients so I figured I'd give it a try. Might suck, might be great.

Happy birthday!

Well...I guess I will too then.

I took 3 racks of ribs out of the freezer yesterday. It's supposed to be really nice weather tomorrow so they're going on the smoker.

I have to admit that just like the cottage cheese I've never tried it. And to be honest I'm not even sure what it is 🤣

His parents are Cheryl and Wayne, that's about all I know. If I go, which I probably will, I'm not going to the actual wedding. I'm going to stay at the motel with the dogs. We were at Cheryl and Wayne's when Roman got lost in the woods that time. Their other son was staying with the dogs while we went out to Sam the Clam's, one of Zina's favorite restaurants. Roman got out the door and took off. I know he was looking for me. We got a call at the restaurant letting us know he was lost and we left to go look for him. Everybody in the neighborhood was looking. When he finally came out of the woods I told him I wouldn't leave him alone like that again. He was at our wedding at the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum. He's the one on the end, standing beside Mark (vision386 on BMT).

I didn't notice any of that, and I've watched it 5 or 6 times. I'd better go back and watch it some more😆

I noticed that the weather girl on the Winfall TV station was gone, looks like she's in South sunny Florida now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EomfKwDjlaE

If it's too big of a job we'll just do the best we can for now, then if we go back to Connecticut in June I'll bring the shovel again to try and finish it.
