I’d add “also family members aunts, uncles and relatives could contribute to the bond purchase”

In the 1980’s the liquid propellant in an Arkansas Titan ICBM silo exploded. The 700+ ton silo cap/sliding door was found in a nearby wooded field. Based on the tree damage, it had been launched and descended straight down. And this was just the propellant. …the power of a contained detonation.

I remember the Chevy Nova wagon from the 60’s (Chevy II?). (I goggled nova station wagon and got some ‘hits’)

Religion and politics belong in other forums. Btw, I was a Boy Scout in the late 50s and early 60s…. And the Catholic Church is still here.

Two votes for horse mat — one for each of my p/u’s. Doesn’t fit around wheel wells and dirt gets underneath but protection from dents is gets ratings. I pull the mat and hose out bed when I get energetic.

As I recall, I changed out the throttle assembly completely. It took a couple of bolts and had a harness pigtail.

How about “Branded” with Chuck Connors. I can still sing the chorus…

Don’t know for certain…but what seems highly probable…. If the SR71 was designed in the 50s and 60s it was engineered pre CAD (computer aided designed) using slide rules to three significant places! That’s old school engineering!

HF had free batteries with coupon and additional purchase. When coupons were discontinued, free batteries and free other things all went away (maybe around the time covid came… not sure of time frame). I stopped going much to HF when this came about… but then I seem to have a good stock of most...

I acquired and continue to use a couple of these many years ago…. But they weren’t $14+ (or the inflation equivalent). For that kind of today’s cost… I’d learn, practice and use the Daisy chain. Just the “frugal guy” in me posting. But with being retired and with battery-powered everything, I...

I fought slow leaks in front for a couple of years. Then I put tubes and still had leakage. Finally went to front solids. Now no more leaks but harder ride. I wouldn’t switch back.

My 2017 XR4140H has 900+ hrs with BH attachment. Pulls a Woods BBX72 bush hog. I’ve done most maintenance myself. Dealer has done several repairs…I learned not to abuse the machine particularly the backhoe beyond its capability. I’d buy again and take it easy on BH.

I had a brand new 68 bug with fuel gauge.
