  8. My uncle James survived the Japanese attack on the Gunboat Panay on the Yangtze River on Dec 12 , 1937. He transferred to the US Oklahoma to be safer on a ship of the line, only to die on Dec 7, 1941 when the Okie capsized. My uncle Henry died crossing the Rhine in 1945. My uncle Kashmir died when his B-24 went down in the Polisti Oil Field Raid. My dad came home with physical and mental problems from 3 years of combat with the Third Infantry Division. My small hometown of Oyster Bay lost 37 young men in WWII, 23 in Korea. Vietnam cost my town 18. My graduation class was 65 seniors, 9 were KIA in Vietnam, just dumb luck I survived my wounds . Our town always took the soldiers sacrifices very seriously. The lack of even a moment of silence or even a thanks just shows how far down we as a people have gone. No sense of history, tradition or sacrifice. Most see only whats in it for them. Like our Emperor says "ask not what you can do for your country, but what can it give you for free" My Rant! Paul
  9. Only if we use the cover for cumo slobby
  10. Today was Pearl Harbor Day, no mention from the Emperor or his press but they did mention Elvis' 80th Birthday. Not even any ceremonies at the WWII Memorials. My uncle should be spinning in his grave ! His crew mates from the USS OKLAHOMA, USS UTAH and USS ARIZONA should too.
  11. Entire drive train looked old GM style. Now NASCAR Toyota's runs license built, old style push rod Chevy 350 V-8 .
  12. B.T.A. says this is the first of four. As for the Verizano and assorted tunnels this what was on the table in November 2014, so far no announcements on the MTA/BTA and Diblasio's decision. but it don't look good.
  13. Wife had a 1974 FJ55 Land Cruiser, 6 cylinder ,stick damn tough 4x4 The six looked like a 50's GMC engine. It went every place my Jeep J-30 did with out any strain. Rotted out badly though.

  15. Not counting the Verazano Bridge. After 3 am this morning: 2 axle $14, 3 axle $57 cash, 4 axle $76 cash, 5 axle $95 cash, 6 axle $114 plus $19 for each additional.
  16. Tire issues would cause the wander too with out a doubt. But also since there were "loose cross member fasteners", any body look at the suspension mount brackets for movement? Seem that would also cause lean and handling issues if the spring mounts or suspension mounts has the smallest movement. Good luck Paul
  17. Watts has them ( the owners of this site) , call Barry. You may be able to splice in the parts you need or install the full panel. Depends on what you find as you start to remove the rusted areas. Basic install with some steps left out. Use a spreader clamp or monkey on a stick to hold door opening square, drill out spot welds, remove old rockers, grind area smooth and coat with weld through primer, fit new rockers in and tack weld. Check door clearance and if it's good button weld with mig. Do the button welds from side to side /end to end so the panel doesn't walk, as it will if you weld one side than he other.

  18. Lot of work, but sure is worth it in the end. Paul
  19. Depends on which spokesman you listen to, don't think anybody knows...matches our PSEG energy delivery charge increase, Fuels cheaper BUT it's going to cost more eventually.
  20. So, how does it feel to drive from the passenger side... I've never seen it done sober Country side looks impressive! Paul
  21. NYC Bridge and Tunnel tolls all increase this Sunday at 3 a.m. the coin is needed to pay for the Trade Center rebuild so they say. Paul
  22. We did that here, there would be a whole line of officers from DOT to the local constable writing tickets for it. We can't be trusted to help ourselves you know. Paul
  23. Apparently celebrities know what is best for us, after all they do play "poor" people in the movies... DeCaprio isn't a perfect Green example? Takes his motorcade from his Park Ave Apartment to his private helicopter , takes his private helicopter to Kennedy to take his private 767 for the conference. After all a 767 is much more "green" than Al Gores 747... isn't it?
  24. I see he signed the U.N. Climate Change "Agreement" on the advise of his 2 experts. . . Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio. Now signing an Agreement instead of a Treaty means no Senate Ratification of it for it to become the law of the land. Side stepped the Constitution Again... December 4, 2014 Bloomberg Finance President Obama’s recent emissions deal with China shows the U.N. that Obama is on board. The U.S. is bragging that it brought the largest delegation to the summit and we’re told that they’ll be rolling out the big guns – Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio are on the way. Differences between developed nations and those with emerging economies such as the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) were a major factor in scuttling the last big push for a climate pact at COP 15 in Copenhagen and has been the principle sticking point ever since. The BRICs want to develop as quickly as they can and realize that fossil fuels are the only way to do so. If CO2 is your bag, this is where the real increase in future CO2 emissions will come from. President Obama apparently bridged this impasse with a very simple technique, unilateral surrender. The Obama administration is waging war on American energy right now. Coal plants are shutting down and energy prices are heading way up. We expect the President to sign a climate agreement that avoids the word “treaty” to use this as an excuse to bypass ratification by the Senate. China and India are increasing their emissions as fast as they possibly can. James Inhofe, the past and apparent future Chairman of the Senate Environment Committee reports that China commissions a new coal-fired power plant every ten days. China gave Obama nothing but a vague promise to reach peak emissions by 2040, the date economists predict they would peak no matter what. No one really expects China to switch over to inefficient wind and solar come 2040. Word at COP 20 is that India is strongly considering adopting China’s path. Narendra Modi, India’s new Prime Minister, in part came to power by promising to invigorate the rest of the Indian economy the way he did the province the governed. What was the secret to his success? Electricity from coal. India may also be willing to promise to worry about its emissions 26 years from now in exchange for America and its allies throttling their energy supplies now. Christiana Figueres In her opening remarks UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres called for the Peru talks to blaze a path towards an “indelible” climate pact and set four goals: Create a draft of a “universal climate change agreement” to serve as the basis for a final text at the UN talks in Paris in 2015. Spend more money on “adaptation to achieve political parity with mitigation,” which translated from UN speak means roughly send billions to developing nations for infrastructure projects instead of just windmills and solar panels in the west. “Enhance delivery of finance, in particular to the most vulnerable.” Which means plow billions into the “Green Climate Fund” and get the redistribution party really started. Scale up everything and speed up the process to get this climate pact written and signed before Obama leaves office, or the U.N. may never get it. Obama, joined by Kerry, DiCaprio and Gore, in signing a Global Warming Agreement as their last shot at a creating their own personal lasting U.S. legacy.
