    Mine is a battle royale on the medical side. I think things will work out. Just a little courage and decision to sleep well, wake up with a new day to work on cleaning that joint up. Ive got a couple of other battles ongoing as I write this but sheer gumption and a little taste of anger seasons my being wide awake in this leg joint fight. My doctors are really hard. But they have not forgotten how to smile and tell us how to fix a meal a certain way that is pretty good considering what they are fixing to do to me by then. Im trying to not get scarred over hard and forget how to be human. Ive been known to play and bowl a little bit despite that busted joint.

    It's going to be a good holiday.

    May you find the strength to face tomorrow in the love that gathers around you today.

    I am thankful because I have great health for an old broad. I am loved by my sister and my children and grandchildren. I have a long time best friend that is always on my side (she would help me bury a body). I am thankful I was born in America. I am thankful that Jesus loves me and God knows my name.

    I wish you all a blessed thanksgiving holiday...whether at home or on the road. Be safe.

    Just 650? Burn off some of that gold bullion and cart home a German MAN 1200 horse Desiel engine taken from a Lepoard II main battle tank. It would be such a world class engine that will foster a culture that ordinary engines wind out having been built as a lost cause to fuel economy while the Adults get down to business and run Nuremburg or the 'Bahn at 330 km/hr steady without complications.

    Let's quit pretending to drive little trucks best kept in museums. If you want to have world class Cargo delivered on time really quickly regardless of mountains use the MAN and get it done. Mountains don't matter anymore upgrade at 85 speed limit.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    I asked one of my customers if I could buy one of the 4500 hp engines they make. It WOULD require some serious engineering to add an axle or two on the drives to support the 18,000 lb beast.

    oh that would be .. I'll hae to sit and think this through. You are dealing with railroad things. Something on the order of 370,000 pounds pressure against a coupling pair for example in a typical 10K ton train lashed to the horses you speak of.

    Apparently I am not the only one who loves a good unlimited engine with one purpose. Get the heavy load there asap regardless of terrain.

    Indeed been a great year. At my age any year that you make it through is a great one. No seriously my family still loves me and we are all happy and healthy what more can a person hope for. Happy Thanksgiving to all even you trolls.
