Did a lot of exploring out in the mountains in Colorado, how sweet it was when you found a slow poke on some winding road, just put the foot on the floor and burn rubber up the side of the mountain. Don't know how fast it would go, wide open in third was about 145, speedometer only went to 160.Bob from Athenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124078025732286371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169314107796334970.post-90888933630533083712012-04-29T14:41:02.461-05:002012-04-29T14:41:02.461-05:00I read that if you freeze your flour and cornmeal ...I read that if you freeze your flour and cornmeal for a while that the bugs won't grow in it. <br /><br />Us outlaws don't have no use for gun laws, but in this state you can pack a gun in the open, if you want to pack it concealed you gotta get a permit, it costs about 70 bucks. <br /><br />A properly prepared engine will swing those RPM's, big deal, things are different today. Earl just had a hot drag engine built for him, a built up 302 Ford engine. <br /><br />I don't recall the figures but it puts out something like almost 500 hp and a gawd awful amount of torque, and is chipped at 6500 RPM. It'll spin much faster than that but there's on point, it'll start running out of steam. <br /><br />I have friends still into drag racing so sort of follow it, old circle burner myself, drags bore me. <br /><br />I know a hell of a lot more about cars than you'll ever give me credit for but what the hell, I can't teach stubborn old farts like you anything anyway. You think you already know it all. :-)BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169314107796334970.post-42619233523309721992012-04-29T14:39:25.349-05:002012-04-29T14:39:25.349-05:00I discovered those bugs too, and 1 day my son call...I discovered those bugs too, and 1 day my son called,,yelling,,"where is the flour?" told him in the frig in that big ol coffee can. Told him i wasn't gonna eat no more those larvae, and bugs! That's where it still stays. Made some chicken n rice 1 time, with those larvae in it,,choked it down, (WAS cooked by then) but didn't eat it for years. Didn't know they were in it til i was eating it.TROUBLEnTXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101519457688182222noreply@blogger.com
