My Grandparents always kept a 5 gallon can of "Coal Oil" around the farm. Used it for lighting the wood stove to doctoring cuts.

My Dad, when he was young, lost his Henderson motorcycle on a curve back when US 65 highway was gravel. A farmer saw him wreck and took him up to his house beside the kerosene tank and picked the gravel out of his gashes and washed them out in kerosene.

Morning everybody.

I wonder what Marc is cooking today?

Crockpot Pinto beans. 2 pounds of pintos, a couple of ham hocks, a big, sweet onion and assorted spices cooked in a crockpot for 24 hours. My kids usually sneak in and start stealing bites around the 12 hour mark. I didn't know they were all that good until my Mom and Dad started asking me to cook a pot just for them.

Chili or Pintos are hard to beat on a cold, windy day.

I totally fouled up the wifes V-day breakfast this morning. It was supposed to be just a simple sausage gravy and biscuits, but I must have been half asleep. I used about 10 times more flour than I was supposed to, and then didn't have enough milk to thin it back out. It ended up being a big blob of blah that tasted like uncooked flour.

Normally, I'm a pretty decent cook. I sure dorked it up this morning though.

Sorry you had to deal with that. Looks like a mess. Super glad we didn't have that here.

I always wanted some kind of hot rod. My brother was amazed that I was a mechanic and didn't have one. I was 21, Goldie was 18 when we got married and I became a father when I was 23. I tried a few times to build hot rods only to wind up selling them to get money to raise 3 children. (My best legacy and the reason my beard is now grey).
His coworkers look at his project and say "Why?". He and I look at it and say "Why not?".

That ought to flat get up and go when you're done! With tougher differentials and possibly T-case, it should be pretty nasty!

Fortunately stock differentials hold up fine, but he has a donor 4WD Ranger that has 8.8 differentials he will be putting in it. Stocks are 7.5.
I have an 89 Bronco II with a 4 inch suspension lift and 2 inch body lift with a 93 Mustang Cobra 5.0 in it. C-4 automatic with stock transfer case and differentials, 33x12.50-15 tires. Does great and lots of fun.

Hope the milk tests negative for "I gotta dump this stuff" material..

 

[concretegrazer]

Thanks guys. He has sensitive skin or so we're told. He breaks out and every time it's different. And when he's on something & it happens is it a reaction or just something else? Drives us nuts with no answer.

And the milk is clean. One more test tomorrow to know if we're in the clear.
