The only draw back to Ford's keyless entry is that people have a tendency to lock the ignition keys in them for different convenient reasons and thieves realize that. They break into them ( usually by prying at the door handle) find the keys and drive away. Looks like YOUR lincoln may have been a theft recovery or at least attempted.
One of my Dad's TownCars was a fuel injected 302. 83 I believe. Big old boxy boat. He got 26 miles to the gallon driving across the desert with over inflated tires. Must have been almost like bicycle tires out there in the desert. We over inflated them to get the last little bit of tire wear out of them as they had shoulder wear. I told him to stop and monitor them. Cant remember if he did. Lucky he didn't blow one. Tires sure are tough these days.

You are right on the money. It is a stolen and recovered. I get 22 to 25 for mileage depending on if I lay on it or not.

What did you do to win the trophy Mark?

I built a car model out of spare parts and put it in a contest at the store where I always bought my models and won second prize.

 

[Mark Wainwright]

Nice model collection Mark ! Do you still have any ?

When I got my first real car I gave them to a kid who was interested in the hobby.
I do have 6 now. Ones of the cars I have or had and one I wish I had. Four are die-cast but have painted them to the same colours of my cars. The Cuda is 18th scale and was white with a black stripe so I completely stripped it down to the bare shell and filled in some holes and sanded out the marker lights because mine doesn't have them. I also made up my license plate numbers on the printer.

I like the record player under the table, that's an oldie !

It had dual speakers I'll have you know. I still have all my vinyl in 33 and 45. I used to have some 78's at one time.

First loser. Ha. I miss building models. I was always modifying them too. I liked to make them looked wrecked sometimes. HMMM? I used heat to crinkle a fender and things like that. I liked to take pictures of them. Did a lot of military stuff. Airplanes. Ya I wrecked them too. LOL Crash landed them in the neighbors sandbox along with an occasional cat turd.

A rich local guy here has a restored p-51 and a Corsair. Must be a few others around too cause they sometimes fly in formation. I love things that fly. Those old wwII planes, I can here them miles away, just lumbering along and going faster that anything else in the sky.

My uncle flew B-25's. He did not call himself a pilot. He said they were so easy to fly that they called themselves "drivers"

Been doing some googling. At it's peak of efficiency, Boing was producing 16 complete B-17 a day. That's amazing to me. That was a pretty sophisticated aircraft.

How things change. 1952 marked the completion of Hungry Horse dam. It's sole purpose was to create the needed electricity to power the Anaconda Aluminum Companies' plan for an aluminium plant in the town of Columbia Falls, MT. All of this was obviously a boon for all of the surrounding communities too. The aluminum plant was built and was successful for ohhhh, 30 years-ish. On and off again a couple times with some scandal-ism and typical political bull ****. It is now a defunct superfund site. Fast forward to today.

The dam remains and appears (to me) to be in good operating condition. Sooo, other than contributing it's yearly billion kilowatts to the over taxed grid of today, ( think electric cars) what other good can this dam contribute to the community who built it and lives in it's wake if, forbid, a catastrophe should happen? BITCOIN. They use the F*****G power for mining bitcoin.

I believe this is hungry horse Sam and I flew over BP nice sight from the air.

Had them do logging in the mountains of Washington off the hill sides when I lived in the mountains there. Amazing to watch them pick up a semi load of logs and drop them on the semi trailer.
