My '76 F-250 with 460, C6 and 4:56 gears never got anything over 10 mpg, and when I put the camper on it, it never went over 8 mpg.
Happy Monday Nor Cal. One more week of school then the minions have a whole week off.

Yeaaa , I'm sorry , I just wanted to know what it would doo for the third time 
, well FTE friends I'm pulling the engine out of my Orchard tractor and installing a re-power Honda engine 20 hp , I bought it for the other JD400 that seized but never got around to getting it put in, Instead I bought another JD 400 with more attachments needed around the farm, the newer 400 is in better shape so the new engine will go to that one , while I'm waiting for a starter for the engine I'll pull and install in the old 400 as that engine has been gone through it's still in good shape running wise, then it's up for sale, it has a three point hook up with a cat 1 .

Happy taco Tuesday Nor Cal.
Just found out Windows 10 does not come with a built in DVD player. Had to pay Microsoft $14.99 for something that usually came with Windows (Media player). However, now their Media player only plays music. What a joke. My desktops have a 3rd party DVD playing program, but I never tried to watch a DVD on the laptop until last night.

Interesting Wednesday folks. Did an early Parent Teacher conference with the minion's lead teacher. Good and bad, but we will work through it.
Fall is in the air and frost is on the pumpkin, had to warm up the truck this AM and still wasn't as fully warm before we left for school. Time to watch my mileage go down with morning idling.

Checking this out, I stumbled on a video my nephew made in the 2012 World Series. He was running a "super slow motion" camera that took something like 3,000 frames per second. This is an incredible film sequence; Hunter's bat actually made "contact" with the ball 3 times (as the bat was breaking).
