Well said and all very true!
You could wear the rings off of a 283 Chevy, put anti-foulers on the sparkplug... and keep on driving it without the lower end ever failing, just stop at the service station to fill it with oil and check the gas.
I like bolts. Bolts are good.
Had a Chevy Blazer back in 2001... had 3 bolts holding the engine block in place.
One oil change my mechanic told me, "It's time to get serious about finding a replacement."
Seems one of the bolts was sheered off. A stiff breeze would likely finish the job on the third... and there was no way one bolt would hold that engine in place.
I really liked that car. The engine had over 200,000 miles and was raring to go for 3, but the body was disintigrating. If that 2nd bolt didn't break off, the windshield was a couple milimiters from rusting out.
Driving it in weather was... an adventure
I recently read an article about sleep habits before we had electric lights. It was often the case where humans would go to sleep at sunset then wake around 2-3 am. They would tend to the fire and other tasks and back to bed for sleep. The modern 8 hours of continuous sleep is not normal!
I feel better knowing waking at 2-3 is normal. We are normal 2 -3 am club!

I thought they were making cave paintings?
Yeah
Wow… I was just checking out the “strange fetishes” thread…
That's the whole thing, your body prepares you.And then you have breakfast.It compensates, that's why your blood sugar spikes
“Bag” pipes? Skin flute? Bone trombone?
I forgot that teaching also
Don’t forget they had to milk a cow or two, get the critters fed and tend to any other chores BEFORE they fed themselves. I grew up listening to my grandparents telling stories of life on the farm. Even though I was only a couple generations removed, It felt real and normal. My granddad would rise at 3-4 every morning. In bed by 9. It’s what he did all his life and it never changed.I recently read an article about sleep habits before we had electric lights.

In one of my last bouts with poison ivy it was spreading what seemed to be weeks later. The doc reluctantly gave me prednisone and told me to back track and find the source. The not cleaned tool banister doorknob…. No way PI is in your blood stream. Still getting worse I re-nacted the day. I always put my car outside the garage when I work. That day I volunteered to clear out years of volunteer weeds and trees in front of my neighbors front porch. A little acetone on a clean rag and cleaned the arm rests and steering wheel in the car. Finally stopped the spread.
Nocturnal Hyperglycemia = Common in diabetic patients. Or Dawn Phenominon. Stress can also result in glucose spikes as well as other things.
You probably want more than just two strokes before it blows...All I heard was you lube up and blow to get a 2-stroke started
And right out of the pot!save a tree... eat over the sink
Ya know, you got me thinking about this. The 95 year old ford has a Bakelite distributor that I believe is original. I know there's a lot of Bakelite from that era that's still around, in various old collectible stuff. Anyway, In 70 years I'm not going to be worried about any of it!Due to the nature of plastic though, I don't anticipate the manifolds to be usable on a 70+ year old car.
