Well I guess the white house hasn't gotten the message that people in America are hungryJust read the menu and see what they are serving the elderly for food.But do we really have to lose our children. LOLBy the way this came from Hesperia Center for the elderly in Calif.No joke! -- My son has sent it to letterman for his show

Alright, pretty smart guys on here. I have an off-topic question, this looks like the right area to post it... I want to clean up my used oil storage setup... As you can see, it is a mess.... So... What I am thinking is welding up some racks for the barrels so that I can lay them on their sides. I want a spigot on one of the threaded holes because I like to use that used oil to light brushpiles on fire that I pile up with my bulldozer and on the top I was thinking another spigot but inverted so I can simply open it and stick a funnel in to pour used oil in. What you all think??? Any ideas on what size of threads these are? Is it just pipe thread?

Well yesterday I hauled out and escaped the house for a short time... Even left the Cummins at home and took the 96 Dodge and the ATV and went for a ride.

i just figured out why the mopar insignias keep turning red and blue, sweet. i must now strive to keep them all blue, blue we must have blue. i also just recieved a gear head award how cool is that! i'm finally chasing down the old timers around here.:banghead: :cool:they now call me MISTER KOYOTE!!! --- Update to the previous post... maybe the (in the heat of the night) referance was a bit overboard for a national audiance.

I just want to say thanks for allowing me on this forum to share my knowledge ( what little I have ) and learn from others here that have been around the block a few times.

I hope this is not to far out for a post!I am 68 years old, and now have the Diabetes! My blood sugar level had gotten up to 400! Not Good.So I now take the pills to lower my blood sugar, just like everyone else.Now here is my reason to post.I have discovered a product that anyone can get from most health food stores, or asian cusiune store.It is called Palm Sugar or sometimes coconut sugar. It tastes like brown sugar, and not bad.The reason I am using it is: It has a low glycemic index of 33 that means two teaspoons of this sugar is like almost nothing in comparison to regular sugar.It is high in potassium and other stuff, so it is not a people killer.Since I have been …

Do many of you guys have Paypal ? I signed up about 3 years ago but never used my account, never gavea credit card number etc. Reason I did was because my wife had her paypal account using her credit card, then all of a sudden they sent her an email saying in order to use it anymore she had to give a bank account number to become verified. We didn't want to give out personal information like that and we figured why isn't a credit card good enough, they're accepted basically everywhere. So i decided after that not to bother doing my account, and for whatever reason they never made her give a bank account number and she still uses paypal to this day with no issues. I de…

I've been looking at what they're going for, and the prices are all over the place.. I've seen them for $3000-$13000. It's insane, as that price range was for comparable trucks.. My '96 is lightly modded, but very dependable. What do you guys think a good solid number is, that could be expected? It's a '96 2500 SCLB, 4x4, 113k mi., good tires (Michelin 265/75/16). Only power options are cruise, cold AC, and pioneer radio. rubber floor covering (no carpet.) rust in the doors, per usual, and that's about it. Oh, I added Viper keyless entry, brakes, hardware, wheel cyls, drums, cables, etc. Was originally an auto, but I converted to nv4500. engine…
