Sorry, force of habit. It is the code for the airport and we have taken to using it in texting.

Again, very sorry for the confusion regarding my use of an abbreviation.

Looks like it melted a little
and still no tracks? Snow wheelin!

Just guessing but it probably was a cost consideration. Chevy didn't have to design a fancy cast aluminum timing cover. Also, the oil pump could be mounted in the rear sump of the pan so there was no need for a long pickup tube or the hassle of a front sump which allows for mounting the engine lower and further back.

Front sump ? AMC are rear sump just like GM . Mine does have an extra long pickup tube it’s got the AMC 8 wt oil pan sticks out nice and low lets ya know when you go over a speed bump . Nice thing though you do not have to remove the distributor to change a manifold. And the oil filter is right there to on the front .

I was talking old fords. Pre 60's, I think.

I usually just keep moving without knowing what the post was about.

I knew Ford did, didn’t realize that GM was basically alone with their bassackward design

Studebaker too

I think it just settled and turned into snowpack, maybe a little melt. It almost looks like tracks. The spacing is close, but not well defined. It could just be families playing in the snow.

Not that I know of? Then they would be called pants. So yeah, I guess my chaps are a**less. I guess all chaps are a**less!

Nothing wrong with chaps . Believe this was in New Mexico
Edit : California near Redding

 

[mountainguyed67]

I was just tak'n the pi** out of ya bud.

How come you talk like an Australian?

 

[mountainguyed67]

Our township only allows USPS approved posts, no stone, concrete or metal pipes bigger than 2".

I don’t know if we have limits on what we can have, some are built out of brick.

Did my first tree service job since I got my license. I don't feel I charged nearly enough.
Dispite the fact it was leaning hard twords the house and half the base was rotten. It didn't require climbing and piecing. It was a full tree length directional felling.

Bore testing can tell you everything you need to know about how much wood you have to work with as far as safely being able to control the fall. View attachment 1071632

Metal!

There comes a time when it has to be climbed and rigged. This tree was far from that point. The face side of the tree was dang near all punk. The back side, (holding side and hinge wood) was plenty sound.

The decision to face up and fall was strictly made by bore testing!I cut my outside corner well into commitment to keep it pulling away from the house.

Oh! You guys didn't know I had residential and urban tree removal experience also???
Well, you better ask somebodyyyyyyyyyy!

Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

Knew you did as soon as you metal!
