Now don’t get me wrong, I am NOT calling anyone names. I’m just saying I’d rather be a boomer than a troll, but that’s just me. I am in line with the way of thinking that says I didn’t ask to be born, I didn’t design the social security system, I didn’t vote for it, I don’t control it, and I have no...

” take money from people to whom it belongs and gives it to people to whom it does not belong.”

Not so. Some of it belongs to me and I’m collecting.

I paid into social security and Medicare my whole working life, so I’m just now getting some of that back. I am not denying anyone any government benefits. These young folks have the same opportunities to pay into the system just like I did. I also put myself through school with no government debt f...

I looked at Langs’ catalog for Stipe cams. It says they “can be used with stock lifters”. It doesn’t say you can’t use adjustable lifters. I take that to mean no special lifters required. I have put in several Stipe cams with adjustable lifters with no problems.

Right up there with Mr. Ford, is our own Scott Conger, who was elected mayor of Jackson, TN.

Checking out the cotton crop here in West Tennessee.


Cotton likes the hot weather. The bolls are starting to open. Soon it will be time for defoliation and the fields will be pure white as far as the eye can see.

If you run over a walrus in the road, it could get jammed up under there and break the glass.

Sorry to hear this news, Charles. Hope you heal quickly.

They wind tunneled that cow wrong. Cows always stand with their butts to the wind. That’s how you tell which way the wind is blowing when you have to pick a field for a dead stick landing.

Dallas, if that boy had a beard I'd think it was you.

They’re gonna put the retail parts stores out of business. That’s a loss of a few jobs.

Top prop nut keeper. Not sure if that’s the right nomenclature.

I love Model T’s, but I think sometimes we need to be reminded that the Model T was designed and built during the period of automotive infancy. Henry Ford was smart and had a keen mechanical mind, but he was not perfect. Let’s face it. There are some less than perfectly designed parts on the car, du...

I have had good luck with the Rust-oleum High Performance Enamel. You have to closely follow the instructions on the can. If it says wait 10 minutes to recoat, watch the time and spray in 10 minutes. If it says wait a few minutes, I usually wait about five. If you can’t recoat in the specified time,...

It should turn ccw as you are looking at the blade side of the saw, and cut on the pulling stroke. Those are good saws. When the blade wears out, you can make several nice knife blades from it.

That broken piece of valve that was missing may have gotten under the intake valve and bent it. I would check compression on #3.
