If they're that white bright like the newer autos I meet on the road, would like to see them made illegal! best, randy

Same-oh here. best, randy

Made me think w-a-y back to the 1952 Chevy 6400 2 ton (174" W/B) we had when I was growing up on the farm near Lake Park, Iowa. 8.25X20s all the way around, 10 plies. Some used 9.00s. best, randy

Quidado, mi amigo!!!!!!!!! I - it - didn't say "experience in THAT model", said TOTAL experience! best, randy

CONCUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best, randy

Same here. I don't recall ever flying with a co-pilot that didn't have in the thousands of hours, look's'ta me like now some can't even read the (in English) instructions! Plus some politicians just have to offer their opinion - even if they have no idea! best, randy

Yup, twisted wires. best, randy

That snowfence photo made me recall something from l-o-n-g ago, the snowfences along #9 across northern Iowa and/or those along #16 in southern Minnesota. best, randy

Concur, same-oh here for Miss Milbrath! best, randy

Ya know, I wuz just thinkin'/remembering about that blizzard/deal and remembered listening on our farm at Lake Park, Iowa to the radio (Geo. B. Germain "The traveling reporter", WNAX-Yankton) about it. Still can recall them telling of C-119s dropping hay bales to stranded cattle. I don't recall any mention of B-25s doing it, be awfully hard to do it from one of them or to carry enough hay to make it worthwhile but the Fairchild C-119 sure would, made to haul cargo and a large door opening at the fuselage's rear end. But it sure seemed to be a desperate mess/time and they sure used desperate measures. best, randy (haven't been able to watch that video yet, no audio)

The "sandhills" were where our feeder calves came from when I was growing up on the farm at Lake Park, Iowa. They'd passed through Wagner, Garrison & Abbott (commission firm) at the stockyards in SUX, we fed them until fat steers and then - back to SUX for sale. best, randy

Lifevest (called'em "Mae-Wests"), used to wear them all the time during our annual ditching drills on the rafts. best, randy

Dunno for sure but I'd guess cowlings/manifolds for some radial engine. best, randy
