Where is everyone #5

The 4l60e is definatly a breaking point in those. I have a 2000 blazer with that and its been fixed atleast 3 times and its parked right now waiting to be fixed again..id still take it everyday of the week and twice on sunday before any of the new junk they sell

 

10 miles from my delivery in Tulsa Thurs night. Made it there Fri morning and unloaded. Nursed it home 700 miles. Told my wife every mile I got closer to home was one less to pay a wrecker. What is usually a 11 hrs trip took 16 but I made it home. Got off at Conway on 64 to Marion then 64 out of Memphis to Fayetteville to stay off the interstate as much as possible.

 

Good deal limp'n back to the home 20..

Not to be that guy,
But didn't have an appetite to hang a new windmill in a parking lot somewhere?

Ain't but a 40min r&r on my lil Cummins..

 

Man, I hope that does it. You have worked so hard and long to get it going. It is time something came your way.

 

My experience is when you scald em and the waters too hot it'll boil the smell into the meat.

Prolly so. But we had a good sized log. Laid a 55 ga steel drum on it with the closed end on the ground and fitted in a little. A pair of slender fence post staked across the barrel in an X to keep it from rolling away. In front of the open end of the barrel, floored out a place on the ground say 8' square with 2 x 12 pine boards as a platform. Had a big old round head boiler end set on brick as a large water vat with 3 or 4 old car tires to heat.

Loop a rope on the hogs hind leg in the pen, shoo/prod him up on the boards. Barrel been half filled with boiling water, shoot the hog with a .22, stick him up thru the jowls to bleed, and 4 men wrestle him up and stick head first into the barrel. Grab the hind legs and twist him around some.
Jerk him out onto the boards, try a scrape of two to see if the hair was loose OK,(others been adding hot water to barrell) swap ends and soak the other part. Get him out on the boards and if a hairy place or two, toss on a toe sack, pour on a bucket of hot water and soak/scrape it.
Got him scraped clean/hairless. Free the tendons in his hind legs carry him over to the tree with 4 x 4 over to a post. Hook a single tree and hang.

With all this activity it was more keeping water hot enough to loosen the hair. Neighbor might pitch in to help and we do one for him for helping.

 

Another 3 years you’ll catch up cause I decided I ain’t having anymore of them

 

They make subsonic 5.56? I was under the impression that I would have to change everything over to 300 blackout.

I carry slugs in my truck gun. In the zombie apocalypse or an ANTIFA street festival, the plan isn’t to be considerate. But home, that’s different.
