I think the real strategy is soon to be hatched at the "cathedral of knowledge" railroad station. Inept management led to bankruptcy at GM. Improbable as it may seem, a few more missteps and Ford could fail.

Poisonous barley? I wonder if it is making its way into the beers of the world yet? That'll help control world population growth...

Ah yes, but we are so much smarter now. Rather than burning tons of coal we are instead producing tons of radioactive waste some of which will remain radioactive for 300 000 years. Of course that doesn't matter either what with Fukushima still gradually poisoning the ocean 7 years after the original debacle. Because there are people greedy enough (GE) and stupid enough (GE) to build nuclear reactors on geological faults our fate is pretty much sealed. Somebody please correct me and say it ain't so.

I like his early Browning Humpback Auto 5 shotgun. I've had mine for close to 50 years now and I have no intention of ever letting it go. Here a photo from the web of Mr. Browning and his invention, one of many.

Besides glyphosate, the grains themselves are not good for you either. The grains used today in commercial food production have a very different genetic makeup than the grains from a thousand years ago. If interested to learn the damage they can do to your body, read the book Wheat Belly by Dr. William Davis, cardiologist. Very revealing about the role of today's grains in weight gain, celiac, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, crohn's, and a dozen other things frequently mis-diagnosed. Another interesting book although not authored by a cardiologist: Eat Bacon, Don't Jog.

For those of you that find cell phone to be an annoyance, maybe you would enjoy it just a little bit if you change your ring tone from whatever it is now to a favorite song. While killing time in the hospital last year I figured out how to download some music and then added the songs to my saved files and can them make any of them to be my ring tone. (An accomplishment for a tech-challenged geezer like me.) So, my phone doesn't "ring" anymore. Instead when I have an incoming call it plays Faded Love by Bob Wills, or The Duke of Earl, or Waltz Across Texas. When you answer the call the music stops of course. You are just substituting music for the typical "ring." Easy enough to change from one song to another when you get tired of hearing it. If you need help with this, ask your children...

I remain a skeptic. Designing and building battery-powered electric trucks is one thing. However, hydrogen powered is something entirely different. Obtaining the necessary federal and local permits and actually building hundreds of hydrogen generating and hydrogen refueling stations will be much more difficult in my opinion. Ask BP or Exxon about the difficult permitting process for new refineries. I think not much difference for permitting for hydrogen generation plants. Storing liquid hydrogen in tanks at 10,000 PSI. (First at the dispensing station and then a 10,000 PSI tank under the drivers seat. Uh oh...) There is some stubborn science about generating, storing and transporting liquid hydrogen.. Here is an article from 12 years ago that reveals some of the same hurdles that remain today. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a926/4199381/ Perhaps the generating, transporting, and storage hurdles will be overcome. But for now, I remain skeptical.

A year and three mnths later and I'm still not seeing these fueling stations they are hyping.

Nice looking project. I understand the "keep it all Ford" thing. But to me, its begging for a Cadillac motor. Maybe a 472, plentiful, cheap, and 550 lb-ft. in stock form and a little bit less weight than the Ford 460. "Fordillac" was a popular thing back in the day. Thanks for posting.

Duh, no kidding, really? I dunno... Buy Chrysler, sell Chrysler. Split into separate business units to become more nimble. Next step several years from now will be combining business units for synergies, etc., etc. I appreciate seeing the article KSC, but as for Daimler's business, I say much ado about not a damn thing. IMHO.

I think this is one of the same. And I believe it ran when parked. Buff it out, add fresh fuel, should be good to go...

I've been told the apple and cherry pies which were a real money-maker for franchisees here in the U.S. were a complete failure in Japan. Taste was just too sweet. McDonald's then introduced the taro root pies in Japan and sales picked up right away...

Also, And, your gonna have to have some Xenon Difluoride to make it work. I'd send you some of mine but the dog knocked my bottle over. It broke, and then he peed on it. So it immediately vaporized. I'll send the wife down to Tractor Supply to see if they have some... https://www.reade.com/products/xenon-difluoride-xef2

Yeah, and don't call me Shirley...

The trucks may be OK but PCAR stock is a complete dud. Sales may be up 32% but so what? The stock share price today is virtually unchanged from Feb 2014. Glad i didn't buy very many shares. Dead money.

I hope it lightens your day... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCkqzgesXyA Leslie Nielsen, RIP, left the stage permanently in 2010.

Respectfully Sir, I disagree with you. I know we all appreciate Barry and Watts Truck Center for hosting this site. That said, he has chosen the Forums for the site. And the Odds and Ends Forum is the 2nd most popular of all of the Forums with over 91,000 posts. This particular post was placed where it belongs, in Odds and Ends. And the title contains the words "president and "Trump" so if one does not wish to read about politics then just don't click on it. I imagine that is why there are the different Forums, so you don't have to spend time in those which don't interest you.

Sometimes, even though the apple falls near the tree, it can roll out into the sun and become rotten through and through and truly stink. Take the case of famous actor Henry Fonda. Henry Fonda enlisted in the United States Navy to fight in World War II, saying, "I don't want to be in a fake war in a studio." Previously, Stewart and he had helped raise funds for the defense of Britain. Fonda served for three years, initially as a Quartermaster 3rd Class on the destroyer USS Satterlee. He was later commissioned as a Lieutenant Junior Grade in Air Combat Intelligence in the Central Pacific and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Navy Presidential Unit Citation. Now consider his offspring that rolled way left, out into the sun, and turned putrid, namely Jane and Peter.

Yes dog has a good life as an adored family member. Interesting how her English comprehension keeps growing. Understands and reacts appropriately to the following: Sit, heal, down, lay down, shake, high five, car, ride, load up, beach, rabbit, squirrel, cat, bacon, sausage, egg. And probably understands other words, more than we know she knows

Dog is a seasoned traveler but has a worried look before pushing back from the gate..

No prob on the big tomato, https://www.facebook.com/TomatoFestTexas/ Can't help with the onion though.

Agree wit '41. By the way, was it a Fram filter?
