Just another example of your genius of thought. I can only imagine.

Great story, I wish just one of my mistakes came out like that.

Hi Pat,I just tuned in on this thread; good to hear you are doing fine. What a great trip. I've been telling myself for over 30 years I should go to Alaska. Maybe some day.

No, the first overheads. My bad.

From another old guy, I was told once that the first studebaker V8s were similar to the old cad V8s.
I could be wrong.

When I was young, 70+ years ago, my grandfather had a can of whale oil that he used to oil his boots. I don't recall of it having any foul smell. And he kept it on a shelf behind the wood burning stove.

I used to have a Jack Russel that could make a 8 oz steak disappear in 20 seconds.

RIP chloe.

Just a thought; here in the Boise area there is a lot of irrigation for the farms. One of the machine shops I buy shorts from said another source for shafts is pump repair shops. They will sell the damaged motor shafts. I haven't tried that yet but will when needed.
