  1. There is no one interested in the state . . .YET. Looking at 2 large bill boards to put up thanking the Zoning Commission for denying homes to disabled Veterans. I will be contacting the USMC Veterans Survivors Housing Services at Quantico, the Iraqi and Gulf War Veterans Association and the Combat Infantry association which I belong to. But first the media.
  2. No signs other then hard hat area It'll be a stacker and gravel plant and an endless loop of the same material over and over 24/7
  3. S.E.A. class of 1970 -71 and Sinai class of 1973. We take care of our own.
  4. https://www.aeronewstv.com/en/industry/commercial-aviation/3764-whats-this-bizarre-road-machine-used-by-boeing.html Many of us have seen fire departments utilize tillers to move ladder truck operations down tight streets. The steerable rear axle allows the truck to take sharper turns and navigate otherwise impassable streets with relative ease. This technology is used in other applications—like oversized load transportation. With production facilities scattered across the state of Washington, Boeing relies on a modified version of a tiller to transport 100+ foot plane parts for 777s, 767s and 747s. Rather than having the steer car driver perched up above the part being transported, the driver is actually housed in a small cabin within the rear chassis. Equipped with everything a normal vehicle has (except a throttle and a brake), the steer car driver carefully communicates with the primary driver and pilot car to navigate the multi-million dollar parts down Washington’s highways and side streets. In order to safely transport each part, all three crew members stay in constant contact at all times. If one team member makes a wrong move, it can damage the part and ruin everyone's day. Boeing Long Load Crews spend a good portion of their day on the road, making upwards of five 70 mile round trips a shift to ensure timely aircraft production. Now all I can think about is how the steer car driver has to reconfigure his brain every time he hops between his personal vehicle and steer car,
  5. Interesting dolly set up, never saw any like that.
  6. This was my wife's wish and I said I will see it through. Equipment, house kits and tradesman are set to go, everything is mapped out both plat wise and legally. 23 disabled Vets and their families are tentatively chosen to be given the first homes. I will not take stupid "green" requirements by some power mad town employee. Monday I will be at the local news channel and start my push back and get my vets homes or I will bankrupt the town.
  7. Just got home from my Unincorporated Villages Zoning Board. My appeal to their non zoning list of demands/ requirements was denied. Got the approval from the Federal EPA and ACE, got approval from the Common Wealth of Virginia, got the approval from Fluvanna County but the village want 60% solar and they want the residents to be anybody in instead of Disabled Vets. There is no out side money, there is no banks, there is only my outlay. All 34 houses were to be built and paid for by me and my wifes life insurance monies. Only requirements were 10 years residency in the house, utilities, up keep and taxes. So now I may just sell the entire 1140 acres to a developer or since it is zoned as residential / heavy commercial I my just turn it into an 1100 acre 24/7 sand and gravel pit mine.
  8. AXLE – FRONT 10 KING PIN SETS – MACK PART NO. APPLICATION 301SQ32B FA511 (Prior to 1963) 301SQ45A FA511 (1963 & up) full listing page 10. Believe his set is for the 400 series axles http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/assets/ksa_book.pdf
  9. But Wait!! There's more! DM was available as plus 3 from 1974 on but not the U until 81.
  10. Test light hooks up is the same on Pos or Neg system.
  11. Welcome! Dynamat is good so is the Lizard Skin spray in acoustic blocker. Both will work. Paul
  12. Definitely do not have any cast brackets! Prison Shop Red is okay. Saw an article on a inmate restored Seagrave a few years ago. The work was very will done. Does give new meaning to having it in ''paint jail'' Paul
  13. Mack Engine Oil EOS-4.5 in 10/30 and 15/40. Not rebranded from and other company it is specifically made for Mack to their specs. Mack Engine Oil EOS-4.5 meets Mack’s stringent EOS-4.5 engine oil standard, which offers protection above and beyond the new American Petroleum Institute Standards.
  14. Along with GM and Wright.
  15. They get it from the Federal EPA! Interesting read. Fine refiners for not using an additive that does not exist, increase the require percentage of the non existant additive and increase the fines. Course we pay for it at the pumps. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) contains a renewable fuel standard that mandates the production of ethanol to the level of 36 billion gallons by 2022, where 15 billion gallons is to be corn-based and the remainder is to come from advanced forms of biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol. The advanced biofuel contribution starts at 0.6 billion gallons in 2009 increasing to 1.35 billion gallons in 2011, 2.0 billion gallons in 2012 and eventually to 21.0 billion gallons in 2022. Because cellulosic ethanol was not yet commercial, EPA issued changes to the original act that requires four separate standards including 1.0 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel by 2012 and 16 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuels by 2022, subject to annual assessments that EPA will set each November for the following year. The original legislation set the goal for motor fuel from cellulose at 250 million gallons for 2011 and 500 million gallons for 2012.[ii] EPA lowered those figures to 6.6 million gallons for 2011 and 8.65 million gallons for 2012, just a small fraction of the original numbers (about 2 percent), but an incredibly large amount when the cellulosic biofuel does not exist commercially. The Clean Air Act requires the EIA to provide EPA each October with an estimate of the amount of transportation fuel, biomass-based diesel and cellulosic biofuel projected to be available in the following calendar year. EIA’s estimate for 2012 for cellulosic biofuel production is 6.9 million gallons, 20 percent lower than the EPA requirement established for 2012. To see that even EIA’s lower estimate is high, for 2011, EIA predicted cellulosic biofuel production to be 3.94 million gallons, but “actual sales, if any, are expected to fall well below the estimate” according to the agency. The State of Cellulosic Ethanol Producers One reason the mandates cannot be met is that the companies that were expected to produce cellulosic ethanol and that received the first round of subsidies from the government did not make it commercially. About 70 percent of the cellulosic ethanol mandated for 2010 (about 70 million gallons) was expected to come from Alabama-based Cello Energy. However, that projection was made before Cello Energy had built the cellulosic ethanol plant and before the technology was proven to work. In 2009, a jury ruled that Cello Energy lied about how much cellulosic biofuel it could produce and in October 2010, the firm declared bankruptcy. A 2011 report by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) concluded that “currently, no commercially viable bio-refineries exist for converting cellulosic biomass to fuel.” The reason, according to the NAS, is because of “the high cost of producing cellulosic biofuels compared with petroleum-based fuels, and uncertainties in future biofuel markets.” According to NAS, even the 2022 target will not be met “unless innovative technologies are developed that unexpectedly improve the cellulosic biofuels production process.” The report also concludes that the renewable fuel standard “may be an ineffective policy for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions,” since the full life cycle of the fuel, including its transport, could result in higher emissions than conventional petroleum. The federal government under Presidents Bush and Obama has poured at least $1.5 billion of grants and loan subsidies to potential cellulosic producers. Recently, in August 2011, the Obama Administration funded a $510 million program in partnership with the Navy to produce advanced biofuels for the military. In September 2011, the federal government loaned $134 million to Abengoa Bioenergy to build a cellulosic plant in Kansas and the Department of Energy provided POET, which advertises itself as the “world’s largest ethanol producer,” a $105 million loan guarantee for cellulosic biofuels. Refiners Must Pay Penalties Refiners have to purchase waiver credits for failing to comply with the mandate to purchase cellulosic biofuel that does not exist commercially. For 2011, the cost is estimated at $6.8 million, but the amount will not be determined until refiners close their books in February. According to Charles Drevna, president of the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association, the credits cost about $1.20 per gallon.These costs are passed onto consumers of gasoline and diesel fuel, so the renewable fuels mandate becomes an invisible tax paid at the gas pump. It is just another way for the federal government to tax consumers, and in this case without most of them suspecting it. Conclusion Congress subsidized a product (cellulosic biofuel) and mandates its use although that product does not exist and is punishing oil companies for not purchasing the nonexistent product. And the federal government is still subsidizing the industry in the hope that someday it might exist. All along, consumers and taxpayers are paying for the debacle whether at the pump and/or in subsidies and loan guarantees. As Charles Drevna stated, “Once again, refiners are being ordered to use a substance that is not being produced in commercial quantities—cellulosic ethanol—and are being required to pay millions of dollars for failing to use this nonexistent substance." This makes no sense to feeble old me, how about you??.
  16. U and DM 600 series rear body panel is bulged and not a full +3 , uses pre 73 roof. That give the more rounded look. The +3 R series in flat as per Hollander Crash books.
  17. MONEY and political power
  18. Have a photo of your bracket? I may have one in my stuff. Paul
  19. They are insured so do they care? Security items are just to give the customers the idea of security.
  20. Thank god she is allied with Omar and Talib.
  21. AH one of AOC's people!
  22. Never though of a black out curtain! Good shape for 77 years. I watched a Nat Park survey deep into the Arizona interior in officers country and there was papers in a deck and a coat on a hanger in officers cabin.
  23. Life goes on here.
  24. After dealing with the Federal requirements which and was signed off on , Virginia's requirements which I met and was signed off on, Fluvanna Counties requirements which was signed off on. the piss pot incorporated village of Fork Union came up with "green" requirements that are impossible to meet and diversity requirements for occupation. But on the bright side I'll now expand my Rusty Truck and Farm Implement Park the Volunteer F.D. loses out on a pretty new pumper and a rescue /ambulance unit. Funny my property is zoned residential and heavy commercial so maybe I'll dig a 1100 acre pit and put up a few hundred of these of my property line by the main road.
  25. A camera in a building that lives a sheltered life or a camera in a atmospheric pressure of 14.7 lbs. Per Square Inch that costs $150 or a camera that lives under a pressure of 7891.2 lbs PSI and costs $59,000. Anybody notice the lower right photo is a coat jammed it the doorway?
