Have no fear about Biden. My bet is Mr Perez and the DNC recognize they are in the Alamo and they are encouraging Joe to go out and mingle with folks as much as he can, and Joe..."be a man- no gloves or mask"
No they want him to run and win. Biden with be the puppet run by his VP Coumo unless Coumo replaces cookoo Joe as candidate.
As for Bernie dropping out. Every time he drops out of the running the DNC buys him a new house and increases his portfolio .

The Junkers Ju 86 bomber (later replaced by the He 111) was fitted with Junkers Jumo 205 diesel engines.
.
Jumo 205 diesel engine, the 900-hp Jumo 207A equipped with two superchargers, nitrous oxide injection and wide paddle bladed wood props. The JU 86R and P1 were designed to be a high altitude bomber / recon aircraft with a pressurized cabin. A first for military aircraft. Side note Jumo licensed the Packard designed injectors in the early 1930's until Junkers worked with Bosch to develop a stand alone injector pump for their diesel aircraft engines which was than used by Junkers, Jumo and Blohm and Voss.
BV138 Diesel powered ocean recon able to double it's range by fueling at sea from ships.
The tank diesel radial that ROADWAY mentioned was a Guiberson 9 cylinder radial diesel built under war dept regulations by Cat and General motors for the Allied light and medium tanks and also Pacific theater landing craft. 1020 cubic inches , 310 t0 500 shaft h.p..
Guiberson was a Texas bases oil industry equipment manufacture. They bought the rights to manufacture the Packard A980 diesel in 1932 to adapt to drill rigs and about 1939 1940 designed the 1020 for track laying units.

Yup! Packard designed, produced and set a record in 1931 of 84 hours and 32 minutes non stop with the diesel powered plane. That stood until 1988 when Rutan's Voyager broke it. They later powered the U.S.Navy Air ships pre WWII.
The Diesel Radial was interesting as it had Packard/Juno designed cam activated fuel injectors. For simplicity Packard engineers designed it as a ONE valve per cylinder the worked very well.

This Ebook explains how Packards one valve per cylinder Diesel worked and how it was very fuel efficient.

Racin' Ralph Nason from Unity, ME got one of those "kit cars" through Richard Petty in 1973. He then won 23 feature races in a row! Painted black and yellow with sponsorship from Partner Chainsaw.
Yes Petty took the built up and added all or most all of his tricks. He called them "The Saturday Night Special" He put that ,his name and a serial number on the instrument cluster. Some NASCAR short tracks like Riverhead 1/8 handicapped them . . .and they still usually won! There is one at the Hime's Museum of Racing on Long Island.

The 1989 Shelby Dakota

And these offered through Mopar in 1972 to 1975. Using one of three Dodge small car platforms (Cuda/Challenger, Dart/Duster/Demon, or Aspen/Volaré) for a body shell, a chassis would be built that could handle either a 108″ wheelbase or a 112″ wheelbase using E-body front framer ails and A-body rear frame rails. Customers could order the components or skip straight to the fully-built car, complete with a 355ci W2 race engine, which would come in under $10,000 dollars.

Never was anti social just my opinion of social interaction is much different from most. I dress the way I like, drive what I like, live as I like and don't care about what "they" think or feel about it. I find most people talk just to make noise. If it is something important I'll say something if not, I'll just occupy myself with not falling asleep from boredom My daughter inlaw the all seeing princess snowflake in a prime example.Tells me I should have such and such car, the people will be impressed, sorry I like my old stuff. She'll talk for a long time about her new BMW or her super nano Bat Flu mask while mentioning it cost $200 or about her new I Phone with its 100" LED screen and trailer hitch, about her friends giant 75 lb.goiter on her nipple or about how her
dust mopprecious poodle seems to be growing teeth on it's butt. Useless waste of time and effort.My wife was happy with our life style and that is all that counted.

Excellent photography 41! That bacon doesn’t even need to be taste tested, it looks perfect grade-A like right out of a country living magazine. A wood table and a wooden cut board as opposed to stainless code and plastic boards...dig it. 👌
Had you pegged as more of a fellow hunter-gatherer than a domesticated farmer?
I'm the result of 410 years of independent living from English and German ancestors. Wood table, chairs and cutting boards were made by my Great Granpa, butcher saws, knives and cleavers were my great uncles. I do most all things myself all though Gail would help some times. I've done everything from cooking to swinging a new drum on my mixer truck my self. I work better alone because people don't do things to my liking and I don't have the patience to explain what or how it has to be done. I do need people to work in my breakwater/ dock business but other than that I will not feed them lodge them or like them. I tolerate maybe 3 or 4 people that are not family. Been that way since I came home from service, my wife always said I was a century and a half to late.

our production cost was almost zero. we fed the pigs leftovers from the farm .
any produce that did not sell that day in the farm stands was fed to the pigs.
chickens were pretty much wild, they fed themselves while roaming the yard.
the chickens also kept bugs almost non existent.
Can't have a farm stand in my piece of paradise in Va unless it is ADA compliant unless it was grandfathered in. . .not even a self serve table with a money jar. Libs killed all that now that the village is incorporated. It turned into a giant home owners association. Maine I can do pretty much anything but have no animals there.

I would love to know what the cost to acquire (raise, feed, vet, etc.) your protein compared to store bought. Obviously there is a freshness component that you have that is superior to the store, but I have too many times heard that it is free when you have your own to slaughter. Clearly it is not. Would you estimate that your cost is 90% less than store? 75%? 50%? Then too you have the factor that allows you to sell some which offsets cost, especially if you build some profit into your sale price after accounting for your time and labor to raise, feed, vet, slaughter etc.
It is probably a pipe dream at 43 years old, but I know enough to be dangerous at raising our own food. My wife and I think often of what moving from our current life would be like.
I grow most of the feed, Sun Flowers, Cattle Corn and Barley. I do buy additional anti viral and vitamins to the feed and grow clover to supplement the pellets for the rabbits. If you figure cost per acre for 200 or so acres, fertilizer, water and the hours tending the animals, the crops, the equipment and the storage silos the time preventing mold and rot. 7 days a week rain or shine. Vet visits for various issues, mainly with sheep.there was a disease a few years ago where I had to shoot and burn over 75 sheep, decontaminate the sheep barn and turn out field and toss all the feed. Time to butcher and the cost of the cold room, smokers and utilities than I probably equal a store price or 15 to 20% higher. My eggs probably cost in the end $5 or $6 a dozen but my chickens are fed Marigold seed mix, give a sweet tasting bright yellow yolk. All the above is pricey BUT I know how they are raised, what they eat, and how they are butchered and preserved for eating. I KNOW my butcher shed is clean enough to do surgery in and set up with positive pressure to keep most all the contaminates out. Never really thought about the cost, my wife and I just refused to be dependent on others. That was how both of us were raised and how our parents were raised.
I can't legally sell any as I am not officially FDA approved, I can't even give it to the food banks, veterans home,senior homes or even the homeless.

The rate has led experts to project an eventual peak demand of 140,000 hospital beds — up from the 110,000 that Cuomo had previously predicted.
Where is cuomo getting his facts? How does he know when the apex is hitting and how many it will affect or is he just hyping in what ifs and I feels?From his tough guy brother Chris "frodo" Coumo on what ever lame stream "news" show he has

Money does not equal brainsBlow Up the Bridges': Some Wealthy Manhattanites Are Knowingly Bringing Wuhan Coronavirus to the Hamptons
New York City represents over half of all of the 40,000+ cases of Wuhan coronavirus infections in the United States. There are hordes of wealthy people in the city. So, where would Manhattanites go at this time? The Hamptons. And the locals here are not happy. As New York Post columnist Maureen Callahan wrote, it’s all-out class warfare as the elite and entitled are making life hell for the locals. She wrote that these folks, who landscape and tend to the super-rich during the summer months are not tolerant of this spring invasion, where grocery stores are wiped out and ditzy folks refuse to listen to the rules. One woman who tested positive for the Wuhan virus in the city didn’t adhere to protocol. She was told to remain in the city, but hopped in a limo, didn’t alert anyone of her infection, and arrived at a hospital in the Hamptons demanding admission. Callahan also added that someone flew a private jet into East Hampton and didn’t tell anyone until he landed. One local suggested they “blow up the bridges” to stop the mass influx of city dwellers (via NY Post):
The year-round residents, the locals who own the shops, restaurants and those who cook, clean and landscape for the super-rich in the summertime — and put up with all manner of entitlement and terrible behavior in exchange for good money — are silent no more.
“There’s not a vegetable to be found in this town right now,” says one resident of Springs, a working-class pocket of East Hampton. “It’s these elitist people who think they don’t have to follow the rules.”
It’s not just the drastic food shortage out here. Every aspect of life, most crucially medical care, is under strain from the sudden influx of rich Manhattanites panic-fleeing, bringing along their disdain and disregard for the little people — and in some cases, knowingly bringing coronavirus.
“We’re at the end of Long Island, the tip, and waves of people are bringing this s–t,” says lifelong Montauker James Katsipis. “We should blow up the bridges. Don’t let them in.”
Normally, the haves and the have-nots converge only in summer, and everyone plays their parts. No more.
“A big majority of the rich are truly disrespectful, and in my opinion don’t deserve to enjoy Montauk,” says local fisherman Chris Albronda, 33. He wasn’t shocked by the infected woman who deliberately came out here, even after she was told not to.
“That small act reflects a lot of what we deal with in the summer,” he says. “Selfish. Disrespectful. Absolutely horrifying.”
“I’ve seen breathtaking acts of selfishness,” says lifelong East Hamptonite Jason LaGarenne, 42. “I saw one guy walk out [of a grocery store] with a cart full of carrots. Just carrots.
As of last weekend, SoulCycle and Flywheel were packed, as were bars, restaurants, clothing stores and coffee shops. As of Monday, “there was a line out the door at East Hampton restaurant Mary’s and Starbucks,” says the Springs resident. “If you’re going to make such a hoopla over leaving the city and hoarding your food, why not stay in your million-dollar mansion on the waterfront? Don’t go to Starbucks! I’m sure you have a coffeemaker.”
The local health care systems are not equipped to handle this influx of people in the off seasons. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy also made similar remarks concerning folks in New Jersey who are fleeing to their summer residences along the coast. Don’t do it. Maine Gov Mills said that this weekend over 4000 "summer" residents came to "be safe" . In many towns in Southern Maine the grocery stores that were returning to normalcy are now empty along with our local mom and pop grocers.

I have helped butcher cows hogs chickens not for the feint of heart. god only knows how many deer i cut up use to finish the cuts on the butcher block in the kitchen. For years we only eat deer meat made my own hamburg and sausage. I never buy meat at the grocery store use a guy i know for years he sells me what i want. This year i'm going to get out and fish a little harder for crappy and panfish fried up they are as good as any other fish.
My wife used to name all the lambs, I'd put their names on the cure wrap. She was slick, when came time to cook one she'd ask me to bring in what ever name she saw on the wrap.
I trade off pork to a farmer down the road for the equal weight in fresh beef. I grew up near grandmas farm, tons of fresh potatos, vegies, Rhubarb, eggs, chicken and fresh milk. Pears and apples right off the trees, a walk to the L.I. Sound or the Great South Bay for fish, clams and muscles, farm pond for fish and Laurel Lake for Bass and Trout. Still do most all of that. Have not bought anything but coffee, Moxie, spices and Fritos in a grocery store for probably 35 or more years.
