Is Gulfway still a thing? A while back they were popular but I haven’t heard anything about them in several years. I'm honestly not sure it they are / were a broker of the actual underwriter. Looks like they are still around and have ties with ATHS. Gulfway Insurers - A Leader in the Specialty Insurance Industry

I didn’t know where else to post this but I’ll just put it here. 1995 STOTU. Enjoy.

I wonder if its time for Democrats to start putting these stickers on the fuel pumps 😅 Or maybe this version:

Same spot. 5 days. +$0.20. Arby's Valuebox is still $7.99 😆

Well Joey said progressive liberal. That is not not remotely the same thing as a Democrat most old teamsters would identify as. Could you imagine if Dwight Eisenhower arose from the dead and saw the state of the Republican Party? He would most likely rather be dead again.

I don't think there would be much commentary. I highly doubt there are any progressive liberals that frequent or even come to this site. I joined in 2020 and can't recall ever seeing any progressive or liberal ideology cast from a morally or politically correct point of view. If such a thread were created it would most likely just end up being anti Trump memes. My guess is there is no shortage of those to be found. I frequent another forum for a topic that is not trucks or politics. Like here there is an odds and ends section that political discussion is permitted. However, the difference there is memes, GIFS, any type of name calling, and the like are strictly prohibited and enforced. IMO there ends up being much more insightful discussion and commentary there than here.

You better make these suggestions through PM. She Could could be getting on here and seeing what Joey has been up to. Joey its been 15 hours since your last transmission.....You OK? 😁

When I was a kid my mom always said when someone was dressed inappropriately in church or at a funeral that "his heart is in the right place".

I have next to zero knowledge about military combat. However I think there are ample clues in history. Do you remember the Gulf War? Iraq had the world's 3rd or 4th largest army and it was totally dismantled by US strikes in a matter of weeks. The ground war lasted a month or two and looked like and NFL team playing against pee wees. It was something like 300 casualties for the coalition and upwards of 50,000 for Iraq. My guess is Iran isn't much different. Hardware in large numbers but extremely obsolete and hamstrung by decades of sanctions. And no real experience or training in waging war. Iran and Iraq were competing powers in that region for years. Sunni vs Shite Muslim ideology. Iran's large army was built up over the years to counter Iraq not directly engage with USA. With Saddam gone the need for to upkeep all that hardware probably became less important and its main use shifted solely to impressing and/or scaring it's citizenry into compliance and to keep them subjugated. The leadership probably knows they stand zero chance against the US military. I don't think the stuff being destroyed is bait. I think what we are seeing is an extremely weak military that really hasn't got a clue being picked apart by the most advanced and capable military on the planet. If there were to be a large buildup of ground forces and a ground war was started my guess is you would see a turkey shoot all the way to Tehran. Especially since there a large portion of the Iranian citizenry who would love to be liberated from the current regime. I don't know about Iran having strong nuclear rockets. The average citizen will never know the truth about such matters. I have serious doubts considering what info is available from IAEA as well as the bombing mission last June. IMO even if Iran was able to cobble together a nuke the idea they would use it unprovoked is laughable. They have no ICBM capability or possibilities in the works. Delivering it anywhere beyond a few hundred miles would be impossible unless it was a tiny one in a suitcase. Everyone on planet Earth knows what would happen if any country would detonate a nuclear weapon. If Iran was actually pursuing a nuclear weapons program my guess is the real reason is to prevent exactly what is currently happening to them. The only reason countries have nukes is as a deterrent.

I was mainly citing the cost of diesel since bottle hauler dropped 1g for 230 gallons. That same 230 gallons would be anther $203 if it was purchased here. 😩

I would use at least grade 10.9 flanged, fine thread, hex head bolts and flanged, distorted thread lock nuts.

Took this 20 minutes ago. PA does have very high fuel tax though...

I guess I would say elevated fuel prices are a very predicable and expected outcome from any sort of agitation in the Middle East. What we are seeing now is total chaos and instability in the Middle East. You literally have a Muslim country firing rockets and drones into other neighboring Muslim countries, which is unprecedented. Most of those rockets are targeting oil infrastructure. I think one of Iran's strategies is to make gas prices so high so that those that still support Trump at home turn against him and he is forced into some type of off ramp on the war, strikes, military operations, or whatever its being called.

She obviously was not fired. She was reassigned to a position with no meaningful authority or any real accountability so as to make it appear it was not a mistake to put her in that position in the first place.

I was always under the assumption that the coolant filters with additives or a specific "additive package" in the coolant itself was to help fight corrosion and/or lubricate the water pump bearings. However, I assume from KT Engineer's commentary that coolant additives can be used to raise the vapor pressure of the coolant thereby increasing the threshold of when micro bubbles form. I know the easiest way to increase a liquid's vapor pressure is to raise its temperature but obviously that is not a helpful solution when being applied to a cooling system.
