Well Sam, I have to tell you, its like the movies. They make it sound and look good on film but the actual life of doing it sucks. Yes, we had our good times but when I look back on it, I wish I had never done it. I was away from home way to much and didn't see my two daughters grow up enough. That's my biggest regret, being away from family. I see in your signature that you value family so I can say from experience, you didn't take the wrong turn at the big Y in the road of life. I'm retired now and I don't even like looking at trains. NOW I GET TO SLEEP NIGHTS, GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS!!!!

Oh. Yea the movies make it look like a lot of fun. Just seeing something as big as a locomotive is awesome. I am sorry for your regrets. Thank you for telling me.

Glenn, good night and God Bless to you too. Thank you.

Shaffers and AMS are the best as far as I've read.
Royal Purple is somewhere in there behind them.

There is some reason why you never see these 3 oils in tests.

But if you wany full snyth's you have to go for shaffers or AMSoil, they are the only full snythetics, the rest are blends. Like mobile 1, its a 80/20 blend. AMSoil was first FULL synthetic, and i'm pretty sure that Shaffers is FULL or damn close to full.
The extra moly is good. Shaffers is just a damn good oil. I dont think they offer some of the discounts you can get with AMS though. Send in 20 bucks a year for a 10-15% discount. if you send in i think its 50 dollars, you get the oil at whole sale to sell to parts stores in your area and stuff to make a few bucks.

I really should go read more on shaffers, they truely have a great product as well. I've just talked to more AMS oil users than shaffers, most people dont know about it. I only know one guy (that i see in person) that has heard of shaffers, and that is a diesel buddy of mine. He runs mobile 1 though.

Who is this??? Written for ewe

A ventriloquist was driving through the midwest when his car broke down. He walked a ways and found a farmer who would let him use his phone. Well, the farmer seemed to be a real stereotypical rural type, so the ventriloquist thought it would be possible to have some fun with him. The farmer began to lead him back to the house.

Along the way, they passed a horse. The ventriloquist said to the farmer, "Is this your horse?" The farmer replied, "Yep." The ventriloquist asked, "Can he talk?" The farmer said, "Nope." The ventriloquist then said to the horse, "So, how do you like it here?" He then threw his voice, and said in a horse-like voice, "Oh, it's pretty good. Every morning the farmer feeds me oats." Upon hearing this the farmer was startled and quickened his pace.

Soon they came to a cow. The ventriloquist asked, "Is this your cow?" and the farmer replied, "Yep." He then asked, "Does it talk?" and the farmer replied, "I..I don't think so." The ventriloquist asked the cow, "How do you like it here?" and threw his voice again. In a cow-like voice, he said, "Oh, I like it just fine. Every morning the farmer comes and milks me." Upon hearing this, the farmer squirmed. He looked down at the ground and continued walking.

Soon they came to some sheep. The ventriloquist asked, "Are these your sheep?" and the farmer replied, "Yep." He then asked, "Do they talk?" and the farmer exclaimed,






"Yes, but, but ---- they lie!" They all LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE!
