5 quart oil change.
Next time you do one, put in 4.3 quarts of oil and .7 quarts of Brer Rabbit Molasses. It's the same color, should be pretty close.
Sometimes "close" is not really that close. That other 14% might be kind of important after all.

I love thinking about the days gone by. It isn't an old age thing either, most of my life I've enjoyed hearing and learning about times long ago.

Floyd Clymer was a pioneer in the sport of motorcycling. He was a racer, a motorcycle dealer and distributor, a magazine publisher, a racing promoter, an author, and a motorcycle manufacturer. He was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1998 and into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2020. Clymer attempted to purchase the Indian motorcycle brand in the 1950s, and was successful in buying it in the early 1960s. By 1967, he had begun distribution of Indian-branded minicycles, with Jawa, Morini Franco and Morini Minarelli engines and chassis components using names such as Papoose, Ponybike and Boy Racer. The success of these small machines lead Clymer to plan manufacturing large displacement Indian motorcycles again. Clymer, however, died of a heart attack in 1970, at age 74., and all that ended...
Oh, you know Clymer best from publishing hundreds of variations of these...

It was different back then. In a nutshell; young men were yearning for home when forced and dying at war, and an egghead decided that was a syndrome. They were labeled " nostalgic ".. not wanting to die.

In Australia they analyzed a decade of data collected from 10,800 healthy adults in their 70s. They found that people who reported listening to music almost every day lowered their risk of dementia by nearly 40%. The protective effect also extended to general cognitive decline. When assessed separately, the music group outperformed the nonmusic group on cognitive function and memory tests.
I have had a radio playing in my shop 24/7 for years. When I first started working for the airline they wouldn't allow you to have a radio at work. That finally changed in the mid 2000s.

The skeleton found by Tuco inside the wrong coffin at SutHill cemetery was a real human skeleton. A deceased Spanish actress wrote in her will she wanted to act even after her death.

If you have a swimming pool and use granulated chlorine, don't store it anywhere near DOT-3 brake fluid. If those two come in contact with each other you will get what is known as a 'hypergolic" reaction (FIRE).
