I guess my post was deemed as political and was deleted!

Crying shame when you can't state the truth anymore, and everyone is so sensitive!
Yep, very sad.
Mine was borderline political and could spark political replies.
Funny, isn't the boarder somewhat a political thing these days, oh the irony :laugh:. Pretty sure logging is, scrounging, everything basically.

I finished processing the green peppermint scrounge from last week. Mostly debarked apart from a couple of the bigger rounds where it didn't want to come off. Looks a bit rough and ready but the fire doesn't know that.

We're heading off to far north Queensland tomorrow, will hopefully scrounge up a few fishies.

Mine was deleted in a chain reaction - I reacted to a joke and quoted the joke, which was in response to a borderline political post which was quoted... so goes the first post and they all go.

@ rarefish
Without stories like those told on this thread from you and the other seasoned vets on this page, younger guys like me would have probably never heard of a 7-29 Homelite. I can only imagine the torque....

What’s the Mopar? Satellite?
67 Coronet 440 magnum. Had lots of cool Mopars slip through my hands. I had 3, 69 340 Swingers, and a 68 Dart GSS 440. Still have my 68 Cuda convertible 383 4 speed. One of only 64 built, and I still have the Super 1050 that James ran.

Yesterday I took the new/old Bandit 65 over my friends house. He HAD a 30" Chinese Chestnut next to and over his Timber framed garage. He's a year or two older than me. I can tell you from first hand, taking that tree down kicked my 65 year old butt! I think he was about done for just watching me. We started at 10 AM sharp, took an hour and a half lunch, and finished at 4:30. Tree was down, brush chipped, wood cut up. He still needs to rake up. I drank 4 bottles of water, a Cherry Coke at lunch and two beers when we were done. I lost 9 pounds. Before I went to bed I gained 5 back.

If I wanted to be a real buster, I would request a record of all deletes to make sure they are not leaning one way or the other, which of course would be a violation of my civil rights!

I'll be 69 in a month and a half and I have never seen the Country so sensitive and intolerant of opposing view points. It is really tragic!

Joe, I saw a 68 Cornet 440 at the local car show a week ago, talked to the guy quite a bit. Had a single plane intake and some special heads, but it was an auto.

Also remember seeing a 68 Hemi Cuda at Dover Drag Strip back in the day. He was the National record holder in his class (Super Stock) and was turning high 9s with it! Very impressive car!

Question for you, was the 67 Satellite the same as a 68 Cornet, or was it a bit shorter? Maybe it was just the color, but it seemed to me the 67 Satellite 440 my friend used to have was shorter.

Thought I'd lighten the mood with a picture of my dog. Gave her a bath today after work, before starting on this 346xp. Man was she ticked off at me lol. She'll jump straight into a scummy pond but don't like soap and fresh water. She got good again.
