I haven't driven it but once since we went to the Walmart store, and that was just "around the loop" to try to get Roman used to it. He did pretty good, and the truck was still running good.

Been raining pretty much all week, and it's supposed to rain the rest of the week too. We were going to the antique truck show in Winchester this weekend, but now we're undecided. We had a motel room reserved already and we only have until this evening to cancel, so I don't know what we're gonna do yet. 

I got a carburetor return spring for the big green International that runs now but I haven't put it on yet. I fixed the driver side spotlight that quit working. I ran another wire to it from where the right side spotlight was connected to the fuse box, and put an inline fuse in both of them.

Oh, one more small thing- firefly guy hooked up the high speed interweb that we'd been waiting for since we've been here, so I decided to renew my old photo-chopper program 😁 

Hi Tom, here is my dad's Inter jack, circa 1965, original and working 👌Maybe the girls need a lift or 2 or 3!!!

It is a White Road Boss, I dont know what engine was in it. Photo taken November 2018. I also notice hidden in front was an E9, does not look complete. But seems ready to slip into the orange C model. I will call the guy next week and ask if the E9 and truck are still there in his shed. Maybe waiting for me to go pick them up. 🤔🤞🤞🙏

Congratulations, now you need a trailer for the Inter to go to the shows this summer. Tom is it a sleeper with 1 or 2 bunks or 1 snug bunk 🤔👫

This is PURE GOLD

It is the top middle video Kerry Packer interview, short video from early 1990's. Sums up exactly what has been happening in USA - the auditing and questioning is long overdue. The tax offices audit and question our affairs and the penalties are substantial, so there is zero justification for the bludgers to have their work questioned and audited and they should incur the same substantial penalties, that seems very fair and reasonable!!!!

This is PURE GOLD

Mayor Eric Adams's administration's four deputy mayors are resigning Monday in protest over his nowfound willingness to enforce federall immigration laws.

First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer, who runs the government

Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom

Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi

Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chauncey Parker

Maria Torres-Springer said, "I have often said the phrase ‘public service is an act of love over the course of the last several months. I have tried to live every day in my long career as a public servant showing that love.”

Apparently, Maria doesn't grasp the reality that illegal aliens are NOT members of the American public, hence her job role is NOT to serve them in any way. Rather, her responsibility as a "public servant" is to have NYPD arrest any and all illegal aliens and have them turned over to ICE.

" I have tried to live ... showing that love" - VERBAL DIARRHEA and oxygen thieves. We have far tooooo many here in Aussie land. One former premier around 2000, put on 25,000 new state bludgers in 6 months and the numbers have ballooned ever since. I was informed many years ago that it cost about $Aussie 200,000 to employ each of these bludgers - salary, on costs, office accommodation (only the best), cost of multiple supervising managers and senior managers, computers, training, stress and all other benefits etc. etc. etc... Our recent now departed premier had more than 200 bludgers in his premiers staff office, normally 10 is more than required. Most of these were on salaries of $100,000 +++. One of my daughters close friend was an advisor on staff govt payroll to a state govt member. 12 months ago she took a 1 year sabbatical, ON FULL PAY, because the job was demanding and she was lost ... She has no children and was living with her boyfriend at mum's house. I asked her what she was advising the govt minister about and what was her grounds for any such advise. She could not give me a sensible explanation. Her mother is a federal woke pollie (knows every trick to use and officially abuse the union funds and public purse). We cannot progress with this permanent raping of the genuine public - our money is their money to spend as they wish. 

A couple more from down under 😎

For Australia it was planned deliberately by certain left leaning union leaders and politicians back in the 1960's trained by certain players in the UK (which was going hard left fast since 1950's) to undermine many industries, steel etc and the good hard working people that worked in the various industries. Many were post WW2 European migrants like the family of my best friend, who worked in the furnaces at BHP in Woolongong. Australia manufactured some of the best steel in the world. 

These traitors played the hand of the new left govt in 1972, they conned and bluffed the working people by doubling the wages, inflation exploded and that was the start of the end of our steel mills, associated industries and many other industries. Real wages went backwards. Investment in new facilities could not be justified, naturally, and eventually the local operations closed. The traitor plans worked to a T, all the direct and indirect jobs disappeared overseas to the countries of their plans. We did get a little recovery via recycling of old steel, but it was little compensation for the loss of a magnificent local industry. The left elites, economists etc were so clever to justify the changes that caused the real workers to suffer - best use and allocation of labour and resources, in other words to cheap labour countries of their plans. All our established industry, technical schools, trade knowledge, skills etc evaporated in no time, gone forever. Once gone, then we are importing what is given to us. The quality is not the same. Recently imported steel used in a roof span in a new building collapsed because of poor steel.

During the 1970's Italy trading with Russia, bought Russian steel for the Italian auto industry. The cars rotted within 12 months and less.

History is ignored to suit and justify people's fundamentally wrong and selfish choices for their sole enjoyment of homes in the hills. We will have to pay for the increased insurance premiums. The commentary is clear, the FD could not and would never overcome the Santa Ana and fire and again in 2025. The area should be returned to nature and new residential quarters built in appropriate zones, without the risks. And the same for the houses along the ocean front, erosion will take the sand and whatever is there, so why build houses. We have the same issues here in Australia. Buyers have paid up to $AUS 30M for beachfront properties in Byron Bay. Not even 20 years ago there was a road between the properties and the water edge. Now the road is long gone and the sea is eating towards the houses.  

Maybe time for a rethink!

You can't make this stuff up

Movie - TWINS! - Danny and Arnold. Scientists created Dolly the sheep and more afterwards. I would not be surprised that such human experiments could happen if not already in certain countries. We have no idea what is really happening in the clandestine labs around the world. For human reproduction, the fundamental basis of our human existence, it should remain with the natural female. The money should be spent on helping and improving that unique wonder of our being, that includes IVF done between a man and a real woman. 🙏🫰it does not happen and not exposed to our innocent children.
