according to the phony news there is ONLY 20per cent of oil going through this channel YET gas at the pump has risen dramatically . the rotten oil co ceo's will be making $$$$$$ for bonuses now. BUT when the oil companies put the pathic president in that spot they expect compensation . here it is as ALWAYS at the expense of the working people. if only a meteorite could be on course of this rotten .power huger planet

hope it wasn't because of a calendar LOL. speaking of which I did a visit recently to one of my yrs back customers. a guy who threw nothing away; some items were Mack calendars back to the '70's and up . I quickly looked for the controversial HI/Ho == O&G picture; not found. 1- I don't recall the year= had to be mid late '70's -early 80's. 2- some calendars were brittle , didn't want to ruin. will keep searching the pile one day. he's not getting any younger ; kids will call in a dumpster ๐จ -

one thing I can tell you about the H;; if your in one on a cold winter day ;it don't start so you are being towed by a diamond T wrecker having a pull plate of 2 in steel in the upright position::: MAKE SURE THE DUPLEX TWIN STICK IS IN BOTH MAIN AND AUX.!! with no air built up and a hand brake which is frozen not much to do when the wrecker stops for traffic and the H model doesn't stop till the crash of the wrecker pull plate modifies the bubble nose of the H. this all takes place while the service manager and 3 prospective buyers watch. main was in gear aux wasn't. new rules took place after that.. pull plate down to bumper height/ air will be built up in towed unit .
