Bought a well used pickup for the farm back in the 80's. Changed the oil first thing, pretty black. Filled it with diesel engine oil, 15-40, which...

I retired last July, lots of home projects that I postponed until retirement have consumed most of my time. I still have some time for my favorite...

You are a lucky guy. To be able to enjoy something that was your grandfathers pride and joy is really something to appreciate. Have fun. B
My great state is trying to ban the registration of new gasoline powered cars by 2030. I think we are in for one Hell of a ride. But I also think...
