This was my second one. The exercises are extremely important! I've heard all sorts of stories about folks trying to skip the exercises.

I checked out the items in the auction and there are some very nice pieces.
The auction house however states "NO SHIPPING" so unfortunately no bids from outside the local area.
Kind of unusual for an internet aucton.

I agree. Very unusual.

Folks we have to remember the question the inspector asked Ignacio: Do you have any normal cars?? This inspector is a member of the ‘new normal’ club we’ve heard about! It’s really the new ignorance! :lol:

Re: Things to do when you are a bored farmer

With the weight of the chassis and and the horsepower of that little Maytag, it would be a really smooth road and a running start to get it moving. Or, with the reduction really really slow. The Maytag just seems a bit too new for the frame. This opinion and a buck fifty will get you a drink at McDo...

I'll ask. Did any of Henry's other engineers ever get a huge bump in there salaries like Mr Huff? If not, just the fact Henry paid anything extra proves his guilt. This opinion and a couple dollars will get you a drink at McDonald's !

Tenvoorde Ford is still in business here in Minnesota.

They are considered the oldest automobile dealership in the U.S.
Since 1903 I believe.
