True but when you get a bully with a badge and gun on a power trip pulling that on people who on both sides of the badge who haven't a clue about their constitutional rights, that is what happens.

Theory is that the Chinese did it to cease the production to toilet paper

DiBlasio states that NYC may stay on lock down to September or later. He says we must take this issue seriously.

Great Ford! Lyon Ford Truck sales had one for years. The dealer sold out and the owner took the truck home. Now goes to a few L.I. truck shows every year. Pic is from about 1960,truck is a 58 or 59 I think and the same blue. http://

In Cuomos defense he did lower the deficit by cutting staff,school aid and services to the poor and middle class. Also NYC is more than 60% of the deficit run up under DiBlassio's administration.. The out come of the 2020-2021 budget is an across the board 8,5% income tax, a 25% increase in licensing fees by DMV, a 19.5 cent per gallon gas tax, 3% tax on heating oil, a .7% increase in state sales tax and last an increase of bridge and highway tolls, the toll increase TBA. From Bloomberg News 12-13-2019 New York State's Budget Deficit Is Growing New York Governor Andrew Cuomo may be spending much of the new year explaining how he was caught off-guard by a $6.1 billion hole looming in his next state budget, caused mostly by rising Medicaid costs.It’s the largest gap since Cuomo took office. Amid New York’s recovery from recession, he closed a $10 billion gap for the 2011-2012 fiscal year with cuts to health care, education and personnel. This shortfall, disclosed in a report last month, occurred during a strong economy as revenue increased. Critics say the third-term Democratic governor should have known better. Now, as Cuomo prepares to propose a 2020-2021 budget in January, lawmakers and interest-group advocates are already quarreling over whether to impose more taxes on the rich or cut services to the poor and middle class. If current spending trends continue, the state would face an $8.5 billion deficit in 2023, of which about $3.9 billion would be for Medicaid. Cuomo’s budget office says it’s looking for savings. “While Medicaid spending is projected to grow at almost 6% a year nationally, we are developing a plan to be introduced in January that will once again limit New York State’s Medicaid spending growth and continue high quality care without raising taxes to cover the cost,” said Freeman Klopott, the state budget office spokesman According to Moody’s Investors Service, New York’s Medicaid burden is set to increase 6.6% a year through 2023, after five years in which Cuomo-ordered changes reduced annual growth to 2.2%. This year’s increases result from the advent of a $15-an-hour minimum-wage for health-care workers, a 12% increase in long-term care enrollment and reduced federal aid. Describing the situation as “a credit negative,” Moody’s continued to rate the state’s credit as Aa1 stable. Medicaid Warnings The governor should have anticipated these increased obligations, said Andrew Rein, president of the Citizens Budget Commission, a business-supported fiscal watchdog group. Rein is skeptical that Cuomo can fill the gap without deeper across-the-budget cuts, which would require legislative approval. The CBC warned Cuomo earlier this year that Medicaid costs could spike and couldn’t be permanently papered over by the governor’s recent practice of delaying billion-dollar payments into the next fiscal year. Cost controls instituted by the governor eight years ago have failed to stem recent expense increases, Rein said. “The state’s plan to address the Medicaid-driven budget gap is one part gimmick and one part delay,” he said. “A plan to solve the budget problem need not be done entirely within the Medicaid program. Other portions of the budget also should be considered, including mistargeted aid to wealthy school districts and unproductive economic development programs.” Responding to the criticism, Klopott noted Cuomo’s record of cutting Medicaid costs. In 2011, when they were rising more than 13%, he created a Medicaid Redesign Team that capped annual spending growth based on a formula tied to the national medical cost of living. “New York State has kept Medicaid spending growth to less than half the national average – saving taxpayers over $19 billion,” Klopott said, “and this has been key to limiting overall state spending growth.” Tax Tussle In the state legislature, Democratic leaders are at odds over new taxes. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins is against them. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie is for them. Heastie said he won’t accept cuts in services to the state’s six million New Yorkers enrolled in Medicaid who represent about a third of the state population. “We always believe in raising revenue,” he said earlier this month. The battle may be joined over a revived proposal for a “pied-a-terre” tax on second-home purchases of $5 million or more. The measure, which real estate groups say will hurt an already-weak luxury housing market, would raise about $650 million, said state Senator Brad Hoylman, its chief sponsor, who first proposed it in 2014. “They use our system of laws to protect their international investment in real estate, and I think there should be a premium on that,” said Hoylman. “This is a way to capture that purchasing power and use it for some common good.” Spending cuts may also collide with demands for more school aid. Education advocates and teacher-union leaders say the state has failed to comply with a 2006 court order to fully fund its public schools, an obligation that may exceed $3.4 billion. Advocates say the amount owed -- based upon census data -- may be more due to rising school enrollments of homeless children whose households may not have been counted. The homelessness problem has also created demands for more state spending in the form of rent subsidies to prevent evictions and as an alternative to shelters, said New York City Councilman Stephen Levin. He’s calling for the state legislature to spend millions of dollars to pay most of the cost of such subsidies. Tenant advocates also have demanded that Democratic lawmakers spend more on affordable housing. “Albany needs to make the billionaires pay by a tax surcharge on the super-rich,” said Michael McKee, treasurer and spokesman for the statewide Tenants Political Action Committee. They are calling for repeal of tax incentives for developers that subsidize market-rate housing, programs he says cost the state about $4 billion. New Yorkers won’t know until next month how Cuomo intends to address the gap opened by the failure to anticipate rising Medicaid costs. And the state can’t necessarily count on growth in tax receipts. “A solution is not yet in sight,” Moody’s said in their Dec. 3 comment, warning that budget officials will find it “considerably more difficult for the state to tackle recurring operating deficits, especially if there is any pause in state revenue growth.”

So explain how the tax rate has any bearing on the start of the thread. My farm is in the N.Y. metro Area (NYC, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties) my taxes on the farm per NYS wasn't based on farimng it is based on the valuation of the property in my area. I used to pay the same tax rate as is I had a 2.5 million dollar house on every 5 acres. NY laws for the sale of agricultural property in the NYMA area limited my ability to sell it with out me giving the state 49% of the acreage for their open spaces land bank at the states set land costs which Andrew based on mid state values. BUT because of Andrew we put in 150 grape vines which classes it as a winery and poof zero taxes for 10 years, 65% subsidized water and electrical billing. Now thanks to Andrew if I add a family member to the "winery" my zero taxes and benefits start all over again. I can avoid taxes indefinably. If I want to sell it as a winery or as a housing development the land issues do not apply to a winery. KS likes him because of his media presence, a few like him because of his political party. None of which has lived with his mid night "emergency" sessions with select people to pass legislation, his support of abortions up the 24 hours after birth, illegals getting protection from ICE and "questionable" policies like forgoing the normal process for awarding contract for power distribution "because it is a dire emergency" so he chose the company he owned 30% of stock in. His releasing prisoners in 2019 before the Covid 19 virus. His list of crimes that are only issued court appearance tickets include violent cases, including robbery and assault (if a gun is used but not fired it is non violent), child porn, vehicular homicide, domestic violence, and hate crimes not involving a weapon. one man was released 62 times for robbing subway riders. . .he even thanked Cuomo for helping him support his habit. As for moving the sick up state Maxidyne, no you can not let them die but you also can't over load a small rural hospital. But that goes along the putting the homeless on trains and buses and dropping them in other states. NYC for one ships them to Eastern L.I., Newark and Cape May. I guess the media presence and party affiliation is more important than dirty politics and hints of corruption.

Aren't they Chinese owned? Union leaders and politicians are calling for all of the East Coast shipyards like Bath Iron Works in Maine, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in N.H., Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Va, Southeast Maintenance NAS Shipyard in Mayport, Florida, North Florida Shipyards in Jacksonville and Electric Boat on Ct to shut down completely and giving the workers paid leave for the period to be determined.

You should see his speech last year for creating sanctuary cities in NYS when stated that he is the son of a mother and father who were illegal immigrants. That was interesting.

This was for a drive in service. Cop told the minister "your rights are suspended" on the video. This is the the 4th time in 3 different states that the powers in charge say the constitution is "suspended"

I'll add his late night legislation to pass hot button bills like his Laws protecting illegals, his law that people arrested for violent crimes have to be given the names and address of the witnesses against them "so their legal teams can interview them" Safe Act (which under it my Lever action saddle gun is considered and assault rifle but my Calico 9mm rifle with 50 round mag isn't) Don't forget his father turning LILCO into a state run utility called the Long Island Power Authority, which kept rates down, than Andrew under the guise of them being over prepared (?) for Hurricane Irene disbanded the LI Power Authority and awards the service to PSEG whom him and his girl friend own 30% of the companies stock. Cuomo said the rates were frozen for 3 years. Well every month our bill increased by 5% to 8% because of increased fuel costs. When the fuel costs dropped for over 6 months our 5 to 8% increases still came every month. Andrew stated that would off set any future fuel costs. 10 years later my bills still increase. We have a 6 Billion debit on Shoreham Nuclear plant that never opened and after 30 years was 90% paid off. Andrew had gotten loans against it to finance PSEG's system up grades. Can't get the TSA quick pass because Andrew will not allow the Feds to access DMV records for verification "because it may harm the undocumented citizens. Releases criminals who can't afford bail, makes crimes that involve a weapon but it is not used not being detainable but they are given a court appearance ticket Having lived under Mario and Andrews reign what his election would do to the country is beyond scary. But since Bloomberg supports him. If KS lived under his governorship he would not be so impressed by him.

No, actually we should be worried that people we elected like the the Mayor of Philly referencing the police removing a man from a bus stated to the press that "he has suspended the Constitutional Protections until further notice" Gee! That's same thing the LEO's in Kentucky said to the Pastor when issuing $500 tickets and quarantine orders to people at a drive in Easter Service for violating their edict. The best is the Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmers edict: Non-essential in Michigan: Religious activities, all construction and repair related industries, fishing if boating with a motor, realtors, personal gardening, buying seeds, home improvement equipment, gardening supplies and lawn care. Essential in Michigan: Marijuana, lottery & alcohol.

It's called a Bernoulli Wave it's the displacement of the water surface around the vessel hull due to the pressure distribution of the ships displacement and speed in the water around it.Easy way to think of it is when the ship generates a bow wave and the wake the water around it is pulled towards the ship to replace the water in the bow waves and wake. Does exactly the same in deep or shallow water, just more noticeable in a narrow area. Learned all about the effect at the Webb Institute when they demo'd the hull design on the Grumman H.S. Denison Hydrofoil verses our Scarab when we were trying to squeeze out max speed. Showed that a pair of air foil shaped skegs on the mid hull would give us 20 to 30 more mile per using the Bernoulli Effect.

Nice finds. AC /AB stuff while some what rare is around. Look around old mining and logging sites around you. Steelman on here has made some very nice repro panels and may be of help. I would pull off the pair of inspection covers on the drivers side of the block and see if there is and bad stuff that found its way in, shoot some Marvel on the crank and rod journals to give it some help while the top end is soaking.

Saw quite a few of their remains along Rte 1 in Asia.

Was S&S in Rochester N.Y.?

Don't worry when the Nancy crew return from Easter Break as per her returning between the 20th of April to the 1st of May (she has not decided yet which date) things will get going again. Than we have Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., stating during a recent livestream with constituents that a county in his district should withhold shipments of Lysol disinfectant to the state of Kentucky until Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConell R-Ky., relents in his opposition to Democrat-backed vote-by-mail measures amid the coronavirus pandemic. "A fun fact about Somerset County -- we make 100 percent of the national supply of Lysol disinfectant," Malinowski said "I thought about using that with, like Mitch McConnell," he went on. "Like, 'Hey, you know, we're going to hold up the Lysol to Kentucky until you pass our election security bill.'" Malinowski noted that he was seeing some "thumbs up" from constituents participating in the livestream event. Lysol parent company Reckitt Benckiser has a plant in Hillsborough Township, N.J. I feel there is a small bit of hatred here

This was my pops last car racing at Bowling Green It had a .030 over 1/4" strokes GMC 292. He ran low 10 high 9's. It replaced his Blown Max Wedge 64 XKE Coupe. I still have the 292 from his vette. Different head and shorter intakes for carb to make it run on E10, I ran it a few years ago in my 55 Hosted on Fotki

I'll send him an e mail in the A.M. Thank again. Paul

Thank you, please do. Paul

On Tuesday, Dr. Deborah Birx admitted to the American press a deception is being presented to the American people. Our death toll is not the number we say that it is. Not as it counts towards the pandemic known as COVID-19. For some unexplained reason Birx/Fauci are counting deaths and attributing their cause to COVID-19, even if the actual cause of death was not COVID-19. For example: A patient gets admitted to the hospital for organ failure due to late stage cancer. If the patient comes into contact with COVID-19 in the hospital and the virus shows up in a test either before or after death, that’s a COVID-19 fatality. Same with a heart attack/heart disease. Same with fill in the blank. Never mind that as a nation we lose 54,000 persons a month to heart disease, and 50,000 per month to cancer. But by “juicing the numbers,” Fauci/Birx get to extend the misery, heighten the panic, and continue to command relevancy. Considering deaths per month by COVID-19 are trailing heart disease, cancer, flu, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, stroke, Alzheimer’s, diabetes and even drug overdoses, it appears that “commanding that relevancy” is necessary. But why would we falsely count our causes of death from a public health perspective? Governor Andrew Cuomo—whether in on the deception or not—announced on Monday that other diseases in New York City and State appeared to have just stopped existing. Literally claiming the unfathomable—that suddenly in his hospital system there were strangely "not a lot of non-COVID" patients anymore. This goes with governors, mayors and LEO's creating edicts as to what we can and can not be allowed to have or to do. Vermont and Rhode Island are now thinking of banning the sale of any consumer goods aside from food and medicine. No cloths, shoes appliances GUNS or other non essential things they decide we can not have. There is a drive in theater near me in Va, they owners were going to allow the local minister and priest to hold an Easter Mass and broad cast it into the vehicles via the radios. No non family in cars, no leaving the cars and no communion. Governor Al Jolson Northam said it is too dangerous to allow. People may watch the religious channel on cable otherwise he will not allow it.

Andy, you ever find more info on the N.E. Dragway gasser meet at Epping? Paul
