Saw this research vessel when my wife and I were at Newport Oregon last year. I was told that college students got to work and help with research on that shop in the summers. I know very little else about it. https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/technology/vessels/atlantis/atlantis.html

Could you order them with a big block if that’s what you wanted? I’m just curious and have no clue.

No arguments here. I think the Squared L cab complimented the curvy B front of end very well. Plus as a tall person I’d really appreciate the extra room.

That’s a cute little bugger. Is it a cub?

Really like the big chrome grill and dual headlights on that body style found on the gmc’s.

That’s a mobile steak building facility.

You mean you don’t have the “cool” drivers down under? Lots of them in the US. Let all of the air out of the seat, put a huge visor on so you can look cool looking through a slit at the highway and can barely see your mirrors much less be able to turn your head and be able to look over the window sill to check your blind spot.

That or is it possible our government is throwing a little “bait” out there to see who does what with our intelligence agencies watching very closely?

1070 John Deere 4x4 40 hp, it might be Yanmar as others have stated above but I can’t remember. I do know it’s not a John Deere engine in it.

My John Deere has a Mahindra engine in it. Scratch John Deere off of the American icon list of acceptable pieces of equipment to talk about? 😁 kobotas are legendary in the small to mid sized tractor market. Nearly bullet proof and if taken care of last a lifetime or more.

Happy birthday OD hope you are in Florida with Zina from winter park enjoying the scenery.

Don’t forget this gem either. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2018/04/24/1978-dodge-street-kit-car

If it was just the people leaving and migrating that were rolling the dice that would be fine. Why should they have the opportunity to spread something that is highly infectious to very small rural areas with little to no healthcare options. There’s less than 2000 people in the county I live in. We have a little medical center that doesn’t do much for any serious injury or illness. They more or less patch you up good enough to keep you alive until they can get you to help. For me the closest real medical help (again not including our triage center) is 100 miles away one way. So these selfish people should be able to come to a rural place and expose a very small community to Coronavirus that has very, very little medical care? I think that’s wrong but I guess that’s just me. Always enjoy visiting and hearing your side of things MackTech. Stay healthy.

I guess I feel the rules apply equally to all of us. Just because I have some $$$ to travel somewhere I wouldn’t/won’t especially during this lockdown. They choose to live in an overcrowded city so in my opinion (and it’s just that, my opinion) they shouldn’t be allowed to spread this crap. We won’t ever get a handle on this as long as people keep being so self centered like the spring breakers, the lady in Connecticut with $$$ that had a big party during the quarantine and spread it, the Ny millionaires who purposely left the quarantine area and some knowing having or having direct contact with the Coronavirus going to the hamptons. Do your part and stay home to help stop this and relieve some of the pressure on our healthcare system by not spreading this so fast. Just my two cents.

News on local radio station says local Montanans are requesting that the governor figure out a way to stop all of the Californians who are supposed to be in stay at home quarantine like the rest of us from flocking up here to avoid being in California. Seems absolutely ridiculous that we don’t shut travel down period for awhile with very few exceptions for essential personnel. Doesn’t seem that would be hard to do. Want a flight? Unless your a doctor or some other person or reason better than that Nope stay home. You want to leave the county or city you’re in? Again unless you have a damn good reason nope. Get home.

They are the number one importer of soy beans which many come from the US and US allies so that’s one bit of leverage that could be used.

You’re leaving out a huge detail Mack458, the Democrats are the ones who kept throwing in crap they couldn’t get passed onto the STIMULUS bill. Isn’t that using a tragedy for political gain in the worst way? if cuomo wants to work together to solve this then why is he threatening to sue the president and his admin if they shut down NY and NJ to help slow the spread down so our medical resources can handle it better? Cuomo is just grandstanding for the most part and following what all of the other democrats have been doing for the last 3 years. Fight the president on everything he does no matter what because party lines mean more than the people that elected them. Do I like trump as a person? No, I think he’s a vain spoiled brat with a big mouth. Do I like his policies like bring manufacturing back to the US, make trading with others fair to the US, worry about the US first? Love the policies and so does a good portion of the US besides Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, Clinton etc.

That’s very interesting Bull. Hope it works and can get distributed quickly.

It’s going to be hard to keep people inside when we have people like Cuomo politicizing this emergency threatening in the media that he’ll sue the Trump administration because it’s unconstitutional to make him stay home when Trump is talking about shutting down NJ And NY for awhile to get this under control. This stupidity of fighting the president even if what he’s doing is right has got to stop and I hope people remember this come voting season.

Well so far this isn’t a terribly deadly virus. Just heard that it’s only around 3% that are infected die. That number would be far lower if we could test more people and get a number on how many people that caught the virus and didn’t get reported as having it. The biggest problem seems to be how highly contagious and fast it spreads which can overwhelm hospitals which means people who need critical care can’t get it which can be deadly.

Real presidential... https://apple.news/Ai81VJccdTl6_G9SuqRwIfQ So he does have a stockpile and more or less admits he has no clue how many he is going to need but he’ll project an astronomical number of ventilators needed plus the 2 hospital ships that he want for New York. There’s a fine line between being proactive and being greedy and using this crisis to grandstand for his own personal gain. There are 49 other states and 6 or so territories that need supplies as well here’s the link to the full article https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-hannity-coronavirus-ventilators-new-york-30000/ Somebody said on one of the cable news shows said: 'The ventilators that New York needed aren't even being deployed, they're in a stockpile,'" Cuomo said. "Yes, they're in a stockpile, because that's where they're supposed to be, because we don't need them yet, we need them for the apex, the apex isn't here so we're gathering them in the stockpile so when we need them they will be there." "Second point: 'Well maybe you don't need 30,000.' Look, I don't have a crystal ball, everybody's entitled to their own opinion, but I don't operate here on opinion. I operate on facts, and on data, and on numbers, and on projections," he said. "I hope we don't need 30,000 ventilators, I hope some natural weather change happens over night kills the virus globally ... but the numbers say you might need 30,000." Cuomo has said projections show the state will need the ventilators within the next two weeks, when the peak of coronavirus cases is expected to hit the state. As of Wednesday, Cuomo said the state has been able gather about half of the ventilators it needs, but only about 4,000 of those have come from the federal government.

The heat won’t help this go away. Read an article about it some time ago that it was 85 plus Fahrenheit in wuhan when this broke out.

Pretty complete looking truck and not too bad a price.

if you throw enough garbage at the wall eventually something sticks and you look right. But her record speaks for itself. https://skepticalinquirer.org/2020/03/the-psychic-defective-revisited-years-later-sylvia-brownes-accuracy-remains/
