Not So Pro 3

Bet the sound was better than the view. Love multi engine piston planes.

Yes, I did grab a short clip, but I couldn’t post it on here.

I’ll be damned…Dusty Hill, ZZ Top bassist died today at his home in Houston.

Well that sucks.

Sad day indeed.
This may be an end to the band. The have been together from the start.
Years ago one member had some issue where he could not perform. It was suggested finding a temporary replacement so they could continue touring but Billy said they would just go home and wait until everyone was ready to perform together.
They enjoyed playing together.

I seen a write up once that said smelling farts can help with dementia. I use that on the mrs

I am pretty sure they mean it causes her to get over the delusion that she made the right choice to be with you.

I believe there is a 12 step recover program for that.

A 12valve recovery program?

I always liked those guys. Three good ol boys from Texas that never strayed from their roots and did it their own way

That sucks I actually got to see them not that many years ago at fortune bay casino in tower mn. We got vip seating and we’re about 30 ft from the stage, wife who has never been to a rock concert asked if it was going to be loud. I told her I counted 32 12” stack speakers then asked if she could answer her own question.

I'm a 6.2 diesel kind of guy.

But why?

Moon is hard to get a picture of very red tonight due to the smoke in the air.



Of course I know that is actually the sun setting, not the moon…

You have to remember to the simpler days when the only reason you bought a diesel pickup was better fuel economy. Big block gas engines where still king in the power department. Early underdog diesels just fascinate me! Nothing like the rattle of an IDI v8 crushing rocks.

Yer gonna wear that thing out…

You'd be the one to know...

Evenings Chevy lovers

Evening Pigg-O, you'll never find any of that around here.

Just got to watch this B17 fly over my house….compliments of the EAA air show. View attachment 303538

B-17.
That is badazz!
Those things and the boys that flew them did some damage back in the day.

Had a 7.3 turbo in a 99 F tree fitty that sounded like it was going to see Jesus any minute.
Mfer would pull whatever you could stack on it as far as you wanted to go, and would do it at 100 mph if you had a little room to get it there.
Also got above 15 mpg, usually around 18. Unloaded, with just the service body, welder, torches, gang boxes, etc would be about 20.
Had 450 K on it when I took it back and swapped for an 07 F450 that was a POS.
That 7.3 had NEVER been into.
Had starters, water pumps, alternator or two. Shifter cable. Maybe a sensor or two. Engine, transmission, rear end were all still original.
Show me your Chebby/Dirge that lived THAT life.

Yeah neighbor has an 1986 Ford 6.9 manual 4x4 he bought new

7.3 is quite the animal. Ran a power skiff fishing in Alaska that had one in it. If you needed the power it could be run up to 5,000 RPM for a spell.

Dad's next door neighbor bought one new. Automatic though.
Was an absolute dog til about 55 mph, then it actually TRIED to respond to skinny pedal tromping.
He still had it up til a year or so ago.
I hated driving that thing back when I was a kid.
