I had an '86 F150 4wd, super cab, long bed, that got 18+mpg highway, 13-14mpg putting around town. One on the last carbureted ones. I sure miss that truck.
Add Phisohex and regular, no ethanol gasoline to the list.
I can still occasionally get no ethanol gas, but it's expensive.

We paid 10% more for Ethyl gasoline because it had more lead than Regular gasoline. They quit making Ethyl and took the lead out of Regular and charged us more for the unleaded. Then they added ethanol and charge us more because ethanol is expensive.
Now, they charge us more for leaving the ethanol out.
See..... it's not so strange that we may elect Hillary.

Ain't many new anvils being sold I'll venture. At the going rate of $5.00/lb for a good cast steel anvil they just aren't your everyday handyman/homeowners tool anymore. Ed

I can assure you that we still believe in it. My kids receive proper correction when needed. The same good old fashioned correction I received.

Delta single stem shower faucets. They are so good they last to long . They are in the assembly so long (hard water areas) often they are stuck and you can't get them out. So you have to replace the entire assembly.

Honest to God WOODEN shanked Q-tips with 100% COTTON on the end,.... Back in the 80's my Wife worked for an old Dr. and He had the nurses make the ones He used. Fluff a piece of cotton and twirl the stick into. Sounds simple but those nurses were good at it, and they looked store bought. He also made a purple medicine that He used on lots of things. Good stuff, but the recipe died with Him. He would never tell all of the ingredients. miles

Gave my father in law Lou Gehrig's disease, along with the majority of servicemen stationed on an air base up north on summer. Sprayed it every day for mosquitoes. Said he remembered marching in formation through clouds of the stuff. Pretty much everyone on the base came down with ALS. Sad situation.

Gave my father in law Lou Gehrig's disease, If that was the case, everybody in East Arkansas would have came down with it, and I only know of one person that did. The house that I grew up in had permanent stains on the ceiling from DDT that was sprayed there when I was a baby. miles
