I call it, what-the-fuck-were-you-thinking-did-the-paint-chip-not-clue-you-in-to-how-much-that-color-sucks.

I likes the wing plows with the chain fall to adjust the height. With cat-tracs the roads may not have been paved outside of town and the plow didn't scrape down to the road surface. When I was a kid they would leave an inch or less then sand it to save wear and tear on the pavement and plow.

I believe it is illegal to burn off the plastic/vinyl here in good ol' KY.

I think it had to do with copper theft somehow.

My buddy's father used to burn the insulation off copper wire in a wood stove he had in his garden shed. This was a densely populated middle class neighborhood, and the smoke coming out of the stack was not only scary looking, you could smell it blocks away.

The commercial trash to steam plant that burns all the county trash, burns a shitload of plastic but it's not a problem because they have a tall stack so it all blows over to Jersey.

Here's another cool machine all set up to show.

..and today

Mines are big places with not a lot of people meandering about, stoplights, or cross-traffic, so an interesting starting application for driverless vehicles.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-09-2017, 12:08 PM

I saw that coming, the mine's closed course is the logical application for autonomous vehicles.

BigV · 03-09-2017, 08:26 PM

plus, you can put another boulder where the cab used to be

xoxoxoBruce · 03-14-2017, 02:33 PM

A modernized tanker, see the low profile tires.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-14-2017, 09:07 PM

Plowing with Caterpillar tractors. At 4:00 it looks like a homemade wood V-plow.

glatt · 03-15-2017, 07:12 AM

That same wooden plow just plows right into telephone poles and bounces off them as they shake back and forth. Crazy!

Griff · 03-15-2017, 07:31 AM

That's pretty rock and roll. I like the human weights keeping the plow down, full employment!

BigV · 03-24-2017, 12:09 PM

Oooooooo shiny!

So pretty!

I've dealt with the cup style oil filter like in the V-12, what a freakin mess.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-24-2017, 02:36 PM

A guy sent me an email saying,"I love that V-12 but don't know what I'd do with it" I sent him these.

There's this. (from the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing)

It's in the bottom picture of that post, from my family's 2010 vacation to Florida.
