Yep. Yep. About than power out fresh made coffee PaulMcC.
I love unshelving one of the old aluminum perk-pots and then just on the woodstove top making a fresh pot. Back to getting results by the sound of the perk-bubble rate. The SMELL.
Ha! Electric drip spoiled now I do use a one of the square folded across filter papers in the perk pot now. Do pull the perked made off the wood heat to stop cooking it to acid/burn. Then rewarm cup by cup in a metal cup.
An active involved experienced human can make anything workable. Bacon by the sizzle. Welding by the sizzle and the smell.
I liked the Mercedes gasifier article. Only two rough spots in the wording âclumbersonâ and âany woodâ. The advantage WAS it was able to be enclosed independent keep-moving transportation when the powers that be (British and American air-forces) were doing everything they could to cut off the all of the easy to use fuel flows.
Past the âclumbersonâ complaint in todayâs world with the HOT and âmake-fireâ fragile componets hung out back and front this is a no-will-ever-be-allowed in todayâs âadvancedâ 1st world driving countries. The safety grundies will get you.
Hey CarlZ only in the UK and highly influenced former British Empire areas is right hand steering wheel the standard. Germany and most all of the euro mainland has always been left hand steering wheels just like US/Canada/Mexico Japan is probably the only exception as having adopted the Brit-way of doing it. And Canada the exception as NOT adopting the Brit-way.
I read somewhere that driving on the left side of the road began in Britain during the middle ages when the Knights in shining armor were mostly right handed and when they met an opponent also on horseback they would ride on the left side with their lance in their right hand. True or not, I don"t know.
In competition tilting you run your horse on the right side of the gate. Your Lance crosses over to the left close to your shield. Tilting the other way means your body is open and you canât get your shield in to protect you⌠very dangerous.
More than 200 years ago every country in Europe but France had left hand traffic. Then Napoleon introduced right hand traffic in all the countries he invaded. But still after WW1 some european countries used left side. Portugal didnât follow until 1930 and Italy used right hand traffic in cities and left in countryside for some time
Hitler made Austria, Hungary, Tjeckoslovakia and Jugoslavia follow during WW2.
Sweden escaped Napoleon, WW1 and WW2. We didnât follow until 1967 (Iceland 1968), which of course made it a huge process. 8000 buses had to be rebuilt, city streets rebuilt and road signs changed out. Cars however have always had their steering wheels on the proper side, like in the rest of european mainland. Only asymmetric lights had to be changed out.
Only UK, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta still have left hand traffic. Probably easier to mantaine since all of them are islands.
Hardly ever does the truck get any attention but this afternoon I had two people that was parked beside me ask what was the devise in the bed of the truck . I got the opportunity to explain how the system works and gave them a flyerâŚ
I used the V-10 this morning around the farm and town but used the Sunday truck to take the wife shopping. We took the long way around to the store because it was 5-6 miles further
The 95 dakota has 1200 miles on it now and running great .
The V-10 has rolled up on 25000 miles and no major issues with the truck .
Beautiful truck, Wayne. I think you attract more attention with this cooling rack design than your original because the classic design rack has been on plain jane trucks for a long time and just considered nothing special. Now you look like youâre on a mission.

Hi Joseph and all, we just got dug out from a bunch of snow and power outage for about 12 hours with below freezing temps. We got the woodburner out and stayed comfortable inside.
We have an outdoor wood boiler and have to keep the water circulating, Our neighbor called and wondered why smoke was coming out of our chimney This tractor has been a BIG help over the years weve had it.
So I finally got my newish Dakota up to â65 mphâ (over sized tires seem to be throwing off the speedometer), which is tough since the only decent area for that is the heavily trafficked/patrolled US101 which is a 55 zone.
Iâm trying to figure out how far off the speedo is by the RPMs. Iâd heard that with the âstandardâ rear-end ratio, which I have, one should get almost exactly 2,000 RPMs at 65 mph.
Of course, thatâs exactly what I got out of my little experiment. It wasnât until afterwards that I realized: âduh, the same âchanged ratioâ affecting the speedo would also affect the engine speed (RPMs) at the same rate.â
Apparently, I fell asleep in the middle of writing but still posted it. >_<

never ready
