    okay---as i said elsewhere on this board, i recently acquired a '79 k10 pickup from a local rancher/farmer, who'd had it sitting with a broken motor & other stuff, for prolly a year. He'd owned it since 2007, used it in and on the farm, and replaced it with a 75-model k20. He gave the tailgate away to a friend, and used the alternator on the 75. But yeah----sitting in his driveway was a very late-model something or other Monster Pickup, all clean and shiny. Don't wanna get that beauty dirty & dented, doing chores. Nope. to be continued...

    Okay----I "forgot" to tell you kids about another classic chevy C-30 that I purchased last fall. It's another "fixer upper" that I started working on last week. Its an 81 C20, former bell tell lift truck. But yeah--it has a "bucket" which extends about 30' in the air. It's got a damn good motor in 'er, buddy. Thing just needs some work. I removed the exhaust system a previous owner had put on it; I changed the drivers' and passenger door, for some used, but good used, doors I've had here for 20 years. To be continued on this......,.

    I'm thinking it will take a while for all the tariff ordeals to filter down to the consumer buying level and employment or unemployment figures. A news brief I saw to day was a concern in Europe that China will start unloading cheap Chinese products on their markets, now.

    Here is another thing affected by the crazy president. This is one article among many about the "dumping of US debt" and its effect on the economy.

    This article has a little more explanation and is not quite as the sky is falling right now.

    I have to admit that the cartoon Roger displays in post # 255 is a bit about me.

    The markets do not like instability.

    Trump is infuriating. Biden was just depressing. For that last year or two he was president only in the sense that those Blue Origin ladies were crew members.

    It is a little nauseating to see all the coverup participants cashing in with book deals.
