Jon, those new truck wheels are really impressive. It makes more difference than anything else I can imagine on that streamliner. What did Bob actually do? And where is he? If he'd show up once in a while, I'd buy him a beer and be willing to listen to his free speech diatribe for a few minutes.

Pete, I have tractor-rebuild withdrawal. Help! Please. Just one more picture of a cam lobe. Just ONE.

Thanks, Hev. You're a true hobo, but where would you say is the lobe exactly? I know you tractor guys are very precise.

Wayne, Fortunately for us the worst of the storm passed to the north. The wife was awake with the weather radio on until the wee hours of the morning-just about time for me to get up! Sadly the storm took quite a few lives and did some horrific damage.
