    I've lived too long.. The age of pulling a cable control to kill a diesel. Stop, pull the cable... Engine dies.
    Years later, pull cable and turn off ignition to douse remaining electricals. Even later, just turn off the key. All dies.

    And the original RR transmissions... Cable control for range shift change. Then buttons and air. It's Not dementia, just memory overload...

    Upgraded "extension" vs old black knobs. See where at least one lever had been heated and aligned better for reach, Dinner plate sized spinner knob...Nice rats nest of wires to the wiper motor...
    Don't get in the "assigned " operators way.. He is set to get after whatever it does...
    Most of our Beneke B61 Mack's had been customized to some extent. Gather up a handful of levers..

    You might give a look at Lee Child and his Jack Reacher series.

    Good books for the most part. An it's now written by his brother Andrew Child and Lee.

    The movie sucked with Tom Cruise as Reacher, especially how he's described in the books. The show on Amazon wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. They did a better job of casting Reacher but completely effed up the book they based first episodes on.

    I was rather disappointed. As I do enjoy the books. They did the same thing with the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan character. Books kick ###. The movies with Harrison Ford(Patriot Games/Clear and Present Danger) and Hunt for Red October weren't bad. Sum of All Fears with Ben Affleck just sucked.

    Also, not that anyone asked or cares but....I think I'm going to make some baked potato's on the old charcoal grill tonight. They will be fully loaded.

    Still deciding on what else to have with them...besides beer.

    Back when I was building quad sand drag bikes I used the 750 but mostly the GSX-R1000R engines. They made some awesome race quads

    A series I really liked was from W.E.B. Griffin. Very well written. I started with the Aviators. If you're a military man, you'll probably like them
