  1. Elemental explanation of how 'Destruction' works in real life !! Happy 'Mother's Day'.
  2. Not among my favorites of Leon's works, but here's some soundtrack for refurbishing and re-stocking Alcatraz. An Okie with some soul & grit.

    Mighty Mouse's thread:
  4. Is that a stock suspension '40 Ford with 'ball joints'; maybe you mean 'tie rod ends' or drag-links ? Don't remember what connects the front of the wish-bone to the axle beam.
  5. Kiss a nurse lawyer today !! https://www.kunstler.com/p/judgepocalypse-now
  6. Adam Corolla does own some priceless vintage racing Datsun/Nissan machines. If you're a Datsun geek (you're here, aren't you ??), and haven't seen the Paul Newman documentary 'Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman', you owe it to yourself to find it and watch it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3377996/
  7. When a dumb-shit enemy is destroying themselves, Heavens-to-Betsy, never interrupt. On second thought, just give them a bigger shovel; them dumb-ass donkeys just ain't diggin' near fast enuf for me !! Authorize em for unlimited overtime; and as a bonus; 'No Tax On Overtime' before long.
  8. Let's get this show on the road, DJT, with the 'Stroke of a Pen'; er, how bout a Sharpie instead !! https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/17/president-trump-calls-biden-j6-pardons-null-and-void-following-revelations-of-auto-pen-use/#more-270174
  9. Just caused me a 'Family Flashback'. Growing up, I heard my mother (born 1926) tell the story at least a hundred times, her mother would make her and her brothers go get their own switch for a whacking. She referred to it as 'Peach Tree Tea'. Back when laws/rules were enforced.
  10. Pretty much every open-water cruise ship (and probably military vessel) has an onboard desalination system. I got the engineering officer on a Carnival cruise ship we were on in 1991 to arrange a tour of the propulsion/generating/support systems facilities on the ship. That was 35 years ago and the ship had two monstrous (at least to me) Sulzer diesel piston engines and the main driveshaft to the gear-boxes was about a foot in diameter. There was a spare piston in the engine room that was cosmolined and wrapped up and it was about 2 1/2 - 3 feet in diameter and about 6 feet tall. The guide pointed out the generating units and the desalination systems. Might be interesting to read up on oceangoing ship desalination practice.
  11. Some days ya feel like jumpin' out in the ring and duking it out and some days ya just wanna sit-it-out and watch the show, and some days ya just gotta get plum away from it all. I'm talking bout the banter that goes on in a forum such as 'Destruction'. It's great to be able to do so without outside persecution; so far, anyway. More often than not, some of the discussions and confrontations that go down in here trigger one of the old anthems of mine from over half a century ago. Jethro Tull's 'Nothing To Say'. Climb a tower of freedom paint your own deceiving sign It's not my power to criticize or to ask you to be blind to your own pressing problem and the deed you must unwind and ask of me no answer there is none that I could give you wouldn't find I went your way ten years ago and I've got nothing to say Nothing to say
