Golden Corral and others are open. 3 here on the sandbar have been open since they were allowed to reopen to dine in folks...which was around memorial day. The Golden Corrals I've seen open are all in Va.
I like a good buffet. To bad I find very few of them.

A/c shows no signs of leaking, yet won’t hold a vacuum. It’s got to be bad gauges. I give up, 30 lb vacuum leaks down in 20 seconds Yet system held a slight charge all night. Gonna charge it up, and forget about it.Took oil cooler and lines off, what a mess under there. New lines tomorrow,along with a few others. Old Trucks are great!!! Blah blah blah!! There a pita.

That or my sandbar moved to the mainland and nobody told me.
I call the Outer Banks home. I enjoy it very much. Especially after my trip this past weekend to visit family in PA. Seeing the traffic doing a impression of a parking lot on 81 northbound reminded me why I moved where I did and why I rarely leave.
Ever pass through my part of eastern NC and need a break...holler. I know of secret places big enough for a big rig or two. An lots of good places for food.
That applies to the rest of the class also.

Because these are being shipped as a compressor. It is a stand alone long block. You the owner get to figure out what you want to do for a tank or radiator. Looking at startup vids I have seen three different themes for cooling. 1) the most common is aa automotive radiator with some form of sensor that tells the electric fans to cool at 180F. 2) a variation of the automotive radiator is a more tiny radiator that is about 1 foot square with a direct drive fan belt. 3) A en masse type cooling that is usually a 55 gallon drum that is sealed with a smaller tank that acts as vent and reservoir. I even saw where some one connected the engine to a cast iron radiator for home heating as a way to get rid of the heat. The bulk of these systems use thermal syphon to move the cooling.
The fuel tank? Again, customer supplied. The common type is a 55 gallon oil barrel. Usually gravity feed. There is a complete unit for sale on craigslist in Montana that adverttises of running for weeks on 46 gallons (bull s). 46 gallons by estimation would be a week at 24 hours per day.
