Just saw an article that the Skylink satellites had problems.

I guess they even saw it from the Bat Area in SF.
My Starlink was fine, no issues. I'd like to have seen them, but I saw them in Korea, pretty damn cool.

You can, but they told me it was a special order, adds $25K to the price tag.
I like the automatic with the Jake brake, works great.

Holy Crap! That's a lot of water.    

Well, like I said, Texas is a desert with brief interruptions of heavy rain. We're having a wet year, as in road closings, rivers, creeks flooded. which means water gaps down. Got 9" of rain last week, with the big one falling on soaked ground. Almost six" fell sat. night.

 I have most of the fence work done. So far about 300 yards that were knocked down have been put back up. It's muddy work. On the bright side, three of the tanks on the place are full and running over. Widened out the spillway on the one i had redug last summer when it was real low, now holds roughly 3.5 million gallons. A full tank is better than winning the lottery.

 On the bad news had one tank break. Don't know what the plan of action of that one is yet. On the good news, lost no cows, some of my neighbors were not so lucky. There were a couple of whole herds missing from those who have land along the river. There was no warning of this coming, some talk about some area flooded road ways, but not of rivers at 15 feet. Usually takes a much bigger rain to see those kind of results.

Can't forecast what the last week of May or the first two weeks of June bring, that is usually our best chance for really bad storms. the highland lakes which water the liberals in Austin are not getting the runoff, the main water lake for Austin is Travis, still setting 50' low. maybe if it goes dry they will all move to New York.     

Quote from: Solar on Today at 06:28:18 AMIf memory serves me correctly, I think it was a 1961 Valliant or so, that had a push button dash as well as three on the tree. Why? I have no clue, just a chick I knew had it, almost a collector all in its own.
Out of the eight implements of destruction I own, not a one has a clutch, not that it mattered, but that's today's tech, and only three are gas.
Without these, I couldn't exist.

nothing here.

Or was it all hype?
I slept through it.

Quote from: Possum on Today at 04:18:10 AMHas to be. Back in the day when the three on a tree was common, we would install a shift on the floor. Knock out the pin holding the column shifter but the knob would still be sticking out. Gears on the floor would be backwards. Hell we had an extra pedal on the floor I bet kids today have no idea what it was for.

I just find it ironic, that these two aged hippy idiots came up against the technology and development of oil related technology, they so despise.
There is sooooo much wrong with these two morons. One, they escaped the home, two, they secured implements of destruction, and, if I'm not mistaken, only those in a given trade are allowed to acquire?
Silly, I know, but this is the lunacy of the modern Brit. Enjoy...
