  1. I put the little shit out of his drug filled mind!
  2. No problem, people really don't care anymore. Bill will talk to Comey just like he talked to Loretta and Bush Trump and Putin will get the blame.
  3. Yup, you had to get one from a Diamond Reo dealer. Paul
  4. Tradition for one also in a city with tall buildings, firefighters needed the ability to spot smoke, a cab or cover would prevent those riding up front from simply looking up, and seeing the smoke. Same for arriving on scene. There are storiesof ladder truck operators bemoaning the arrival of covered cabs, which made positioning apparatus that much harder since the operator couldn't look up. Paul
  5. The Diamond Reo Camper was not a popular factory option. Each dealer was forced to take one or two and they had great difficulty selling them. The idea from Diamond Reo was to use the camper on weekends, then switch the camper off and put a flatbed or 5th wheel back on the truck for use during the week. The problem was they were expensive, and the bodies were not easy to change over --it needed careful alignment, patience and help.
  6. Easy, no military experience, no real concept of global politics, no idea of the repercussions of their actions, no aides,commanders or staff that are NOT yes men. EPA closing or regulating to extinction of factories and materials to build and upgrade weapons systems (the Detroit Arsenal was the last facility to actually manufacture Abrams MBT now only limited rebuilds of M1 MBT's) Generally a Russian / Chinese co operation pact is a big mistake for us. Frighteningly our current administration and possible our next make decisions under the Kum-by-ya rules of Berkley and the lyrics of John Lenons "Imagine"
  7. only in demworld.
  8. To provide the Drug Companies and others with the money to retain lawyers on staff to fight frivolousness law suits, such as the on Bayer Aspirin had a number of years ago because the warning was not in the person dialect and they took to many. . . . sadly they won.
  9. If you do that, put a on / off / on selector switch in the line to isolate either one from the other so there is no chance of feed back or a power spike to the inverter from shore power.

    Gee in that photo they look just like Brian Keith and Vivian Vance!!
  11. Yes he's a car guy but when it comes to being discrete or showing common sense... he tends to be a bit on the slow side.
  12. The school bus that Joe rode to high school in for 25 years has been found and is going on display in the National Museum of Puns, Gags and Political Promises this winter. The Museum is located at 1601 Pennsylvania Ave Washington D.C.
  13. Ein balltasche. Jetzt vestehen?
  14. Learns the phrase "you want fries with that?" As for the strikers, they got exactly what they deserve!

    Sadly I believe with our neutered military, state of the steel industry and the legislating away the arms makers the Russians will probably kick the crap out of us. Our only chance is the first shot.

    We had by where we lived on Long Island about 1600 to 1800 salt water submerged cars from Hurricane Sandy, stored at the Grumman/US Navy weapons testing center in Calverton. 90% were auctioned off by the insurance companies and Feds and went to Asia and South America. My son worked there with others from H.O.Penn tending the leased loaders that were packing the vehicles in shipping containers to go over seas. In the mid 1970s I almost bought a dozen Plymouth Dusters at auction until I learned they were from the big floods in Pennsylvania in the mid 70's.

    Unless we see it destroyed, I would not believe it. When I did police impounds for Nassau County we impounded two almost new Buick Electras used in a "Hit" against a local carting business owner. We always ended up with the cars in place of the bill owed or we got first refusal on pre auction sales. We were told these cars are to be destroyed by the county. They were both GIVEN to the Chief and the Assistant Chief of police. We were given new VIN's to attach and were told very plainly that "the cars were destroyed and do not forget it!"
  18. My scutum wilted. . .
  19. Explaination of operation from my DM disk brake supplement (it's a pdf type file I can't transfer here) Air-over-hydraulic brake systems contain an air-over-hydraulic power cylinder. This cylinder has both an air cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder inside, which work in tandem with each other. The air and hydraulic cylinders each contain a piston and common rod. The air cylinder's piston is a larger diameter than the hydraulic cylinder's piston. This results in greater hydraulic pressure being released during normal breaking. When the brake pedal is pressed, the valves are opened by the combination cylinder, releasing the atmospheric pressure that builds up when the valves are closed. During hard braking, the combination cylinder causes greater valve movement. This results in the valve releasing more air into the air-over-hydraulic power cylinder, allowing for faster braking.
  20. Original post is almost 7 years old bet he found them.
  21. Up grade to the later power and Mater will be good to go for a ton of years more. Paul
  22. Now the number of people whom are classed as "insured" less than 5 million have actually paid premiums while the others have signed on and some what disappeared into the zone of A.C.A. "numbers".

    At this time, not one damn thing. Why? Because the election is "bought and paid for" so to speak, either one is / will be just a figurehead anyhow.
