    Some early methods of Inoculation was to use a week strain of the disease that is trying to be prevented. Small Pox is an example. Prior to the vaccine available today, doctors would draw fluids (puss) from the pustules of infected people, then use that fluid, by taking a very small amount on a needle, then pierce the skin (like a tattoo) of the person they were inoculating. It would infect that person, and if done correctly the illness would be very minor, then they would have an immunity to the disease.

    Well I figured my mileage out. I ran 1200 miles on these tanks. They must have been empty. Once I parked it, the slight angle caused the fuel to lose prime in drivers side tank. That’s my theory. So I rrrrrrrraaan out of fffffuel. That’s hard to say. Stupidest move of 2021. I hope that’s it. I’m about to put 5 more gallons in. Total 20 gallons added. The part that’s confusing, is both filters were still full. Then after running a bit on ether, only secondary was full, primary was empty. Only thing that makes sense, is a loss of prime, or gelled fuel in lines maybe. Looking inside tanks, I see lots of fuel. My mileage 1200 says they’re empty. I can deal with being a dumb ###. Hope it’s not a wiring problem.

    Which vacinne caused the deaths of a bunch of kids, when first introduced. Polio maybe? I saw a documentary once, where in NYC the Police actually busted in doors held people down,( mostly immigrants) and vaccinated them. Small pox maybe? Got that CRS Disease. No one should ever give up their rights. The other intersecting documentary was on Ellis Island. The hospital was first stop, for well mess checks, disease checks, vaccinations, etc. Not sure what year that was. Interesting history. I’ve had my Civil Rights violated ( we used to call it a ### kicking) by the Police. A few times I didn’t deserve it. Twice I literally got kicked in the ###, for smart ### remarks. Lol. Unwritten rule was be quiet and just be happy they didn’t call your Dad. Lol. Oh the “Before Days”

    Well if it werent for bad luck I wouldnt have any luck.

    Tonight I came to my exit to make my delivery. Big line of cars going really slow because the ramp wasnt plowed. I gave myself lots of following distance and slowed enough that I wouldnt have to stop going up the ramp. Interlock locked, traction control turned off, making my own tracks... But super light load. I spun out half way up the ramp.

    Notify safety that im,blocking the ramp and will be hanging iron. Proceed to hang iron. Unfortunately I got used chains this year... No keys in the bags, good thing I carry my own. Ive only got to go 50 to 75 yards, so I only chain one axle. Cop shows up as I am finishing. Get in and easy into it really gentle... Just get going and... POP!!!! Broke a chain in the first 5 feet.

    ####!!!! ######!!!!

    Get my second bag of chains and replace broken chain. Give it another go. Got moving and I wasnt letting out of it for NOTHING!!! Rolled through the stop sign and crept 1/2 mile to a safe spot to remove chains.

    Total time from spin out to chains removed... 37 mins.

    Appointment time missed by 20 mins, crew on break when I arrive. Currently waiting for break to end.
