Yep ... be on a mission from God...

Earlier this morning I went out to the back 40 (garden area) and used our big walk behind DR Trimmer. Size of a push mower. Works excellent. VERY hard work. About an hour on that was plenty. There's still several hours of work to go there. Then we went hiking up across the street to Bill Merrill Mountain. Just under 4 miles. About 2.5 hours total time. Definitely faster and felt better than either of us was expecting.

One of the techs at the GM garage I worked at 25 + years ago used to tell us.. You can almost never loosen it, but you can almost always tighten it. Then loosen. Then tighten. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. What a cool trick. I've even seen a guy use that on the plastic fasteners for a plastic grille.

Yup. Growing up , one of my friend's Dad had a side hustle buying, fixing, & flipping used cars. I fished a fair amount of broken nylon cam sprocket teeth out as we would replace timing chain sets. He taught us how to rod cylinder head oil return holes with a length of speedometer cable and an electric drill. Old straight weight oil sure did gunk up the works!

Some more WWII trucks on this D Day

My morning so far has been working on the truck. I'm waiting for new O2 sensors, so I was looking for things I could do with the cab still up. I touched up a few spots on the frame, and managed to extract the one broken cab bolt from it's mount.

AI Overview As of 2026, there are approximately 20,900 Dollar General stores operating in the United States

There are close to 30 Dollar Generals on our way to PA. Randy and I counted them a few years back.

110%. I just did this with the remainder of a broken cab bolt.

All too many 409's and 396's were destroyed by folks driving them like they were 283's. All in around 4000 RPM - parts start to scatter if you go higher...

Bought my first NEW vehicle in 1969. It was a black 1970 Chevy C-10 Fleet side with a V8, Posi traction, and chrome wheels, cost a bit less than $ 3,000. As an apprentice electrician I was making about $ 2.50 an hour so the payments were about one week's pay. In fact the truck payments were more than my mortgage. My present truck (2009 Dakota) cost ten times as much but I suspect an apprentice made more than $ 25.00 in 2009 so relative to inflation the price is about the same.

At a time when Craftsman actually built quality. And your care and maintenance made a difference also.

I use that on all my electrical connections. I only used dielectric grease on spark plug boots.
-
I have a pint can of NO - OX - ID , that we used on many high voltage connections, 69 Kv through 500 Kv. It has the consistency and look of grease. Works very well on battery terminals also. Most high voltage terminations are aluminum. This can will outlive me and probably my children.Just takes a very thin coat.

It was right near THE Dollar General Store, can't miss it. If you find the correct Dollar General.

My late father, an Army Combat Medic, 30th Infantry Division,105th Combat Medics, 2nd Battalion " D " Company, 120th Infantry Motors 81 MM, Omaha Beach June 9, 1944. He is and always will be my hero, along with all those of that and later generations that heard the call of their nation too defend her!

Just under 700 miles normally for the entire trip. When Waldo and I searched for that BBQ joint, it seemed like it added another 50!

I once dated a girl whos big brother had a new '61, four speed, 409 powered Chevy just so we could go for a ride in it. That was a FUN car! He got so many speeding tickets that he had to sell the car and joined the army.

My old girlfriend had a 2 tone 57 Chevy Wagon - the perfect party barge when parked backwards with the tailgate down & glass hatch up to watch the movie... Honestly, in hindsight, the car was more fun than her...
