    Reguardless of your operation. You need to track it. Solely to judge performance if nothing else. You will see your valves get tight. Milage goes down. Air filters dirty before interval? Milage goes down. You will figure out what station has quality fuel. Diesel aint all equal.

    Its the simplest diagnostic process.

    Ground chuck/ground round, l salt and pepper mix. 2 hours in the smoke and 30 seconds a side on the fire.

    I've ate, had six beers, was tired getting out of bed and worked in the shop all day. Not long for this world.

    Put it on paper. You might get a surprise. Sometimes that cheap fuel ain't cheap. Sometime them big chain stops aint selling you the high end fuel your paying for.

    I listen to guys say bio fuel is bad for older motors.

    I feel the exact opposite of that. But that's just my numbers.

    Just got woke up with an ole feller knocking on my door. He was mumbling something I couldn't understand. Then all of a sudden cop #1 pulls up and ole feller makes a hasty retreat toward the back of my trailer with cop#1 hot on his heals. Cop#1 eventually drags the ole feller back up to her car. Then cop #2 and cop#3 pull in. Hand cuff him and leave. Cop #2 walks up and ask what ole feller said to me. Told him I couldn't t understand a dang thing he said. Here the ole feller was drunk and just wrapped his pickup around a pole up the street ! LOL 20200912_231513.jpg
