I’ve actually had to do that to get a truck back to the shop.
you snip the tag and tape it on lengthwise so it doesn’t pull or vibrate apart.
Corporal Larry L. Maxam sacrificed his life, single-handedly holding off a mass of Viet Cong soldiers from overrunning his section of the Cam Lo District Headquarters. Due largely in part to his heroic effort, he was one of only two Marines killed that night. Over 100 dead Viet Cong lay dead outside the compound and tangled in the wire. For his actions, Cpl Maxam was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. He was 20 years old.
"...serving as a Fire Team Leader with Company D, First Battalion, Fourth Marines, in the Republic of Vietnam. On 2 February 1968, the Cam Lo District Headquarters came under extremely heavy rocket, artillery, mortar, and recoilless rifle fire from a numerically superior enemy force, destroying a portion of the defensive perimeter. Cpl Maxam, observed the enemy massing for an assault into the compound across the remaining defensive wire, instructed his Assistant Fire Team Leader to take charge of the fire team, and unhesitatingly proceeded to the weakened section of the perimeter. Completely exposed to the concentrated enemy fire, he sustained multiple fragmentation wounds from exploding grenades as he ran to an abandoned machine gun and commenced to deliver effective fire on the advancing enemy. As the enemy directed maximum fire power against the determined Marine, Cpl Maxam's position received a direct hit from a rocket propelled grenade, knocking him backwards and inflicting severe fragmentation wounds to his face and right eye. Although momentarily stunned and in intense pain, Cpl Maxam courageously resumed his firing position and subsequently was struck again by small arms fire. With resolute determination, he gallantly continued to deliver intense machine gun fire, causing the enemy to retreat through the defensive wire to positions of cover. In a desperate attempt to silence his weapon, the North Vietnamese threw hand grenades and directed recoilless rifle fire against him inflicting two additional wounds. Too weak to reload his machine gun, Cpl Maxam fell to a prone position and valiantly continued to deliver effective fire with his rifle. After one and a half hours, during which he was hit repeatedly by fragments from exploding grenades and concentrated small arms fire, he succumbed to his wounds, having successfully defended nearly one half of the perimeter single-handedly."

The older I get, the more I appreciate technology on old cars
the edelbrock fuel injection for older cars is interesting
get the right air fuel ratio under light driving or heavy load. Get right air fuel ratio at all RPM
no more reading spark plugs to see what might be happening in the engine
drill a few holes- weld in some bungs
Add O2 sensors
only a few wires
the fuel injection and electronic ignition
Engines last longer
Better performance
Easy starting
And elevation change - up to the mountains- down to the sea- air fuel is adjusted
My timing light and distributor wrench is under a workbench... not used in years
I love the retro mod concept, just not sure I would want to diagnose or pay to have a hiccup diagnosed

Just assembled my first finish job of a raw receiver. Glass beaded with 80 grit at 80 psi then sprayed with Steel-It aerosol paint which is a polyurethane with a high level of 316 stainless steel flake in it. https://www.steel-it.com/durable-corrosion-resistant-steel-it-coatings-8
Paint lays down very well, only 200* temp rated but high temp is available. Could easily be mistaken for Cerakote.

Out of Portland tear gas, an apparition emerges, capturing the imagination of protesters
An iconic image has emerged on Twitter since early Saturday morning in Portland, when a woman wearing nothing but a mask and cap strode toward federal agents as they fired tear gas at protesters — a surreal image of human vulnerability in the face of an overpowering force.
Portland police ‘retreat’ after standoff with NAKED female protester (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)
Police officers in Portland, Oregon were caught off guard after being approached by a nude female demonstrator, who lay down in the street and began performing yoga. The cops were then filmed “withdrawing.”

They were probably worried about catching aids or hep from her.
What do you suppose is running down her left leg?
I miss my days as a hand model.
