    87A9AA40-47B7-4B30-B716-706343380276.png I got these while in line at a Shipper. The Guy in front of me opened his doors at the Guard Shack, and threw 2 crushed cases out on the ground. Totally rude thing to do. I picked them up, dates are good. Just refused for being open. Decided to keep it. Lot of B12, B6 and Magnesium, Niacin. A bunch of other good stuff. Haven’t taken any supplements in years. Used to along with working weights and punching bag. I was in great shape, 30 yrs ago. Lol.

    I hope everyone posts pictures of their projects in progress. Building houses, remodeling kitchen, bath. I enjoy that kind of stuff. Got a lot to do myself. Seeing others progress is motivating for me.

    If you have access to an address to any town here in the Great State of Texas you can get a library card to the Houston Public Library for free with full electronic access to all of their online collections. This includes the past additions of Houston Post newspaper from the late 1880 to about 5 years ago for free. They are scanned into pdf form and the pdf viewer was updated recently and is now a little chunky scrolling pages- just like the old version better.
    Again you don’t have to live in Houston for this, just have to live in Texas. The reason they are open to all residents of Texas is a big rich oil guy left them hundreds of millions back in the 1960s so they opened up their library to the whole state.

    There is a way to get the New York Times electronic edition Subscription for a dollar a week on a student account. I gave my son an account and keep the login information. It comes with full access to the daily paper and a service called Timesmachine. It is very easy to use and full access to all additions from the start of the Times.

    A little warning the current New York Times editorials are crazy liberal and will make a normal reasonable person mad as hell.
    And the ones from past 25 years or older are actually very conservative by today’s standers.

    Too bad my script to the Ft Worth Star Telegram does not have access to past archive editions.

    History has a way of repeating itself and it is much more insightful reading what was actually reported during the time a big event happened and what was going on weeks or months before the big event. It is also a good way to call BS when someone is doing the 20/20 look back or Monday morning quarter backing about what happened, when you can read and pick out the clues that happens before a big event.

    Hope this helps with your hobby of looking at and reading old newspapers.

    It did my heart good to see some spoiled brats having to do some honest work for once in their lives.

    Well it's -4 in Missouri this morning. I idled the truck. I never idle the truck the whole night. Plus I have an air leak. I might be late for my delivery. Air leaks never happen when its warm.

    Tie them up and leave them on the new high speed rail tracks.

    I'm thinking once they catch up on making trucks rates will start to drop. The last time when oil was a $130 a Barrell there was a 1.5+ year wait to get a new truck. Those trucks kept arriving and rates slid slowly. Then oil popped and rates went down quick.

    Freightliner delivered 52% of thier orders in 21.

    Typically the reason for that much storage is a low recovery rate in the well. I also would oversize a tank if the well was deep, my house in NY was 550 feet with the pump set at 520'. Reasoning being that the startup of the pump puts a lot more wear and tear on the equipment than when it is running. I would install two tanks instead of one because of redundancy, the cost of two tanks is sometimes cheaper than one large one, smaller tanks are more common and easier to get and sometimes there is something in the water that requires two separate tanks for treatment (i.e. contact time when chlorine is introduced). But what do I know, I'm just a truck driver.
