    Are you a fan of ELO? Public service announcement.

    @Flyinbowtie, you'll enjoy this great performance by Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Dani Harrison, and dazzling guitar work by Prince. It's a tribute to George Harrison, performed at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.

    Gotta love those CA roads….

    Bureaucrats that make statements like this should be punched in the face. The city has told FOX 11 that the recent rains combined with post-COVID staffing shortages have made it difficult to fill potholes. But in their letter to the De La Rosas, the city said the couple's actions, "pose a...

    Good Lord Boeing

    Airbus is far from perfect, yet their faults have been completely ignored by the press that is clamoring for Boeing blood. The A320neo has much bigger problems than the 737MAX, that being significant and costly repairs needed for the fleet's Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan (GTF) engines. The...

    Houston, we have a problem.

    Annnd for those keeping score, Houston has been run by Democrats for decades. In spite of a huge tax base propelled by huge oil and gas companies, they've managed to totally eff it up.

    Holy shit. I-695 bridge in Baltimore collapse.

    As I predicted, here it is. The Washington Post informs us that Francis Scott Key was a racist. "'The Star-Spangled Banner' did not become the national anthem until more than a century after it was written because of controversy, partly over Key’s racist views. One section of the poem’s third...

    Sunset across the lake

    Spring has arrived. This is the view from my shop's roll-up door, the photo taken just moments ago.

    Well said, FBT.

    Holy shit. I-695 bridge in Baltimore collapse.

    Next week I'll be revealing my vast knowledge about strippers and titty bars.

    RIP Joe Lieberman

    I totally respected Joe Lieberman. He was the epitome of a Democrat that was concerned with the condition of the average American, and worked to advance the situation of all. He possessed integrity, knowledge, and compassion, and truly wanted what was best for our country. There aren't any more...

    Is shiny polished aluminum out?

    I couldn't agree more. You'll notice I used standard black USCG approved hoses and stainless band clamps on my engine for that reason. The 427 had the original carbs and was still standard bore with stock internals, so I wanted to preserve that condition as much as possible. I did make...

    Is shiny polished aluminum out?

    I absolutely agree with your observation. Although I repolished the engine after every three or four outings, it never again looked as good as the photo I posted above. It's impossible to get the same result unless the carburetors, hoses, wiring, and all other stuff nearby is removed.

    Semis In The Number One Lane

    The left lane restrictions aren't universal. They're only in effect in sections that have signage delineating the beginning and end. In longer stretches of limited access, there are also intermediate signs every few miles. It's not uncommon to see trucks violating the law in the section of US75...

    Semis In The Number One Lane

    TXDOT says you're incorrect on both counts. Who cannot use the HOV lane? Prohibited vehicles include, but are not limited to: Trucks with more than two axles. Trucks having a gross weight capacity of five tons or more. Vehicles towing trailers...

    Holy shit. I-695 bridge in Baltimore collapse.

    Biden also noted he co-wrote the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner with Francis Scott Key in 1814.

    Holy shit. I-695 bridge in Baltimore collapse.

    You're correct about the knock on effects. They're huge. The port moves billions in freight. This is a quick grab I found: The port is first among the nation's ports for autos and light truck volume, roll on/roll off farm and construction machinery, and imported gypsum and is responsible for...

    Holy shit. I-695 bridge in Baltimore collapse.

    Biden's Buy American stipulations written into the ridiculously named Bipartisan Infrastructure Act are going to cause an embarrassing situation for him. He has already stated the federal government will pay for 100% of the repairs and get it done in record time. How? There isn't enough mill...

    Holy shit. I-695 bridge in Baltimore collapse.

    Did you see the photo that shows the damage to the starboard bow? Yeah, the bridge collapsed, but the support and foundation of it put up a good fight. Check out the huge concrete beam that penetrated the shell plating and is lodged in the starboard quarter. It's amazing how much force was...
