An old trucker saying:
A truck only has enough power if it can pull 100,000 pounds up a 10% grade at 100mph.

By my calculations, that would require about 2700hp plus another 25% for driveline, rolling and wind resistance, so lets call it 3500hp.

From a friend who build and raced dragsters where power to weight was a vital key to success.

After lightening everything he determined the best bracket is no bracket at all. This sticks in my mind every time I engineer anything - lol

Not sure if this is more "Tell us something we don't know" or "Favorite Quote or Saying", but since you brought this up here, I have one: "If half the stuff on your boat isn't broken by the end of the race day, you built it too heavy."

This quote is paraphrased by something I heard one of the boat builders say in the 2010 America's Cup, where the massively-overpowered and tippy Oracle beat Alinghi in light air, after having debated canceling the race due to "high winds" that weren't really very high by old standards.

The best bracket quote is one of my favorite quotes and I repeat it every time I design something.
Right now I need to build a footrest for my left foot when driving the tractor for long periods to brace my bad back against the constant jarring.

This was stolen from something Eagle had posted in the Groan thread, and I guess it would make you groan, but I thought it was worth posting here as a favorite quote: "The di1do of consequences rarely arrives lubed."

My heeler thinks that is a good time to start nipping my heels.

Even my aging blind heeler enjoys chomping on my heels when he can find them. lol

We raised two daughters,,
"Things" were CONSTANTLY LOST!!

When one of the daughters asked MOM where the (anything, fill in the blank) was,,

MOM had an answer that was right over 90% of the time,,

Daughter: Hey MOM, have you seen my sports bra,,??
MOM's reply: It is on the floor, under the bed, or in the laundry.

That simple answer could find anything from lost homework, lost car keys, lost, well most anything.

The famous reply in our home,,

It is on the floor, under the bed, or in the laundry.

That simple answer found more lost items than MOM EVER could.
