Actually the all mighty Texas starved in the dark when the grid went down for a bit, their own doing by the way

District 5 had 2 years of back to back hurricanes that dropped power for over a week in heavily populated areas…like it never happened
We,I didn't starve . we broke out propane cooker and made up all the meat from fridge as it was needed then moved to deep freezer. Feed neighbours and made pot luck meals as needed. We then moved to wood burning fire place. Was tough but no one on my watch died. Was a Boy Scout and remembered what my dad taught me as well.
 
I have definitely did that a few times, but I will one up you. Back in the day I blew my clutch up in the next town over from where I lived in my 67 Chevell. So I killed the motor put it in 1st gear fired it up and off I go. You don’t need a clutch to shift gears. Oh stop sign you say, just throw it in neutral come to a stop and repeat lol, back in my 20’s I did not have the cash or the time to get it towed home. Miss that car, had a factory 3 speed Saginaw transmission that would wind out to about 60 in first gear, loved racing 4 speeds.
Not a one up but a similar story.
Clutch went out of the Pete as I pulled under the load rack.
Jerked it out of gear and got stopped.
Threw on 8500 gallons of gas and like you said, put it in first gear (18sp) and start the motor.
I was able to make the rest of my 406 mile trip, timing stop lights and rolling stop signs, got unloaded, truck refueled and parked all without a clutch.
So yeah it can be done but would I want to do it every trip?
Not really 😄
 
Found a legible nose art for this aircraft.
Tail # 85-0079 . This particular airframe was one of the most reliable in the fleet.

The B-1Bs had some really cool nose art.

Thanks mate, now can we reverse the pic and send the Bone to visit the ragheads....
