Optimizing mileage for foundry trip

Why is the dollar doing so poorly against the pound?

First rule of politics: Reward your friends and punish your enemies.

They give the additional fuel tax income away - ie. Welfare - to buy votes.

Hello, Emmo.

I purchased some heavy firebrick at MPI awhile back, so I know where they're at. I'll give them a try. Thanks.

I am getting ready to search the banks of the local waters for plants which will be suitable for weaving a basket dome to cover with kiln cement to enclose a fifty-five gallon charcoal-making retort.

That's funny, 'cause I need some firebrick and didn't think of them!

Can you use bamboo? 'Cause I have all you could ever want...

Hello, Emmo.

I think that we have a deal. After I got the firebrick, I decided not to use it, so it's just been taking up space. I only purchased about two dozen bricks, but I think that I paid about eighty cents apiece for them, so I guess that would make it about twenty dollars worth. I will count them later on today, so that we will know for sure. I could do the trade tomorrow, or whenever would be convenient for you, because, since I am both single and self-employed, I can afford to be very flexible with my time. Is the bamboo growing in your back yard?

Or submarine bases if you are Connecticut. Honestly it's not clear to me that closing that base was a good idea.

If you Leftists would back off on the entitlements, the touchy feely mandates and close the borders..we would have the money for your pig pen.

Really? Please point it out for me.

Hello again, Gunner.

I didn't see this other post until just now. I usually shift at 2500 rpm. The thing is, though, that I never power shift. I always wait until my left foot is completely up off of the clutch before I put my right foot back on the gas again. I do this to save wear and tear on the clutch. This always throws the car in back of me for a loop, though, because he expects me to accelerate steadily, instead of leveling off in each gear. The first shift usually causes them to put on the breaks. The second shift usually causes them to turn on their turn signal. My power band in third gear though is such that when they try to pass me, I can always leave them in the dust, if I really want to. :-)

Mike Mandaville Austin, Texas I am going to convert my truck to alcohol

Hello, Pete.

I guess I will need to install a new fuel tank, and haul a trailer. I am unconvinced about the cost of the still, though, then again, I haven't made any alcohol yet, so I guess that I need to do a little research about this.

Tuckin' Fexican. That's a good way to piss off EVERYONE behind you and to positively engage some crazy person's road rage button, Mike. We'll see your obit soon, no doubt.

P.S: Remind me -never- to drive behind you if I ever go through Texas again.

The propensity to anger is NOT something which I feel obligated to accomodate. Tailgating is against the law.

Liberals like to pay taxes so much, they insist on all of us sharing.
