I like Genoa sausage but havent had the garlic. When we have garlic around here its all or nothing. Either everybody has it or nobody.

Yeah, the 9N belonged to my great uncle. I learned to run it at his place when I was a kid.
Its still 6volt pos ground and for some reason it injects oil into the coolant. Doesnt seem to bother it, just throw a quart in every hour.
Not having brakes makes you have to plan ahead.

Morning all. Interesting article about things people are stealing these days. Heidi, you might want to see what's on the list since you're in the syrup business right now. I've got some history for you, Scott's late again. Everybody give him a shout out and see if we can wake him up.

If it was putting coolant into the oil I would be more worried.
Wow, if that Jubilee was parked in 61 its probably pretty low hours. Hope its under cover.

We recently had some new replacement power poles stolen off the trailer. They caught the guy by following the drag marks. Im not even sure the guy knew what he was stealing them for.

Ok fire guys, riddle me this. Why, in a fully involved structure that's already broke through the roof in multiple locations, would you even think you need to ventilate the lowest uninvolved roof? From here it would seem a little more water might be a better solution.

I was up. I have a new policy. If it takes more than 3 tries or takes more than 10 minutes to get logged on, I abandon ship and try again later. My blood pressure stays lower that way and I don't end up seeing little white dots from the blood vessels in my eyes popping. (I assume that's what they are)

What's this about a foot?

The only thing I can guess is that they are checking for fire extension. But look at what they did with the ladder and it should be obvious they aren't the sharpest ax in the compartment. Pffft, 'Truckies'!
What amazes me about most of the videos you see on fire fighting, is the amount of firefighters that aren't masked up and ready to go once they get to the scene. They'll get off the truck with the pack on their back, but then frog around for 2 or 3 minutes taking off their helmet, pulling up their hood, (which is almost always snagged on something on their pack), putting on the mask, turning on the bottle and putting the helmet back on and securing it. I just don't get it. Where I come from, all that's done enroute to the scene with the only thing left to do is attach the regulator to the mask and start breathing once you're at the front door.

Aftermorning all.

Just made an appointment to have my first root canal next Friday. Had a tooth bothering me for the last 2 weeks, went to the dentist Monday and he filled what he called a 'crack' in the tooth. After the Novocain wore off it hurt just as much as before except it wasn't sensitive to heat and cold. Figured maybe it was just inflamed from being cracked for 2 weeks before treatment. Called him back this morning to see if it was 'normal' for it to hurt like this and he said, "I was afraid of this. I think you need a root canal". Yay. $895 worth of root canal. I can think of 895 reasons not to go thru with this and only one reason TO go thru with it. That one reason keeps winning out.

727-200 is still my favorite "old" aircraft, while the Airbus 320 that replaced it is in a different league. It would be interesting to see how much shorter the Bus could stop using Max auto brake and full reverse. I looked it up, 830 meters or 2723ft at 62 tonnes.
