The 75-85% figure is right out of Fauci's ass. Most other prominent virologists have been saying 50% since the start. 50% is right in line with most other viruses and with most known traits of other Coronavirus variants.

Tell me about it. I've driven it a few times now and had a hiccup on Saturday. Drove out to the beach and on the way back noticed a little smoke which I expected as I break in the motor. All of a sudden white smoke everywhere..my heart sank thinking I threw a rod. I immediately pulled over and shut the engine off. Popped the hood expecting to see disaster, turns out it was the radiator hose going into the engine intake. I'm using a racing coolant and it must have been the additive causing the excessive white smoke (it wasn't steam). I added coolant, tightened the hose (like I should have the first time), and drove it home no issues (except for changing my shorts when I got home).

Tucker Carslon goes after DOD and USAF claiming they have gone woke. If you don't want to watch the start at 9:00 and watch what he said about Lt Gen Webb, AETC and the way we select pilots. Sounds like having a PPL will soon loose any weight in the PMSV.

Tracking. I have aftermarket performance heads (came that way), that are in great shape and really help add HP. However, the stud kit for those heads requires constant re-torquing which I wanted to avoid so I went with a set that requires initial an torque then one retorque after break in. It also had a racing cam which was great for power but a bit more difficult as a daily driver (my wife hated it....really had to feather the clutch in first gear). I am happy with the outcome, easier to drive but still enough power to remind me of my lost youth (jumped on it yesterday and had the rear end hoping).

64 Five months but two big delays waiting on the machine shop and a month recovering from COVID. Had to wait 8 weeks to get work done at the machine shop the first time...I guess everyone is rebuilding motors during COVID? Had a setback when assembling the first time, while torquing the heads one of the head bolt threads pulled out of the block. I could have fix it myself if it wasn't such a critical item. Had to wait another ten days to get a slot at the machine shop so he could jig it correctly and put a helicoil in it. Also spent a few days planning and installing an evacuation system. The motor is the original 327 HP which was turning 365 HP with a road draught tube system. That system is used to ventilate the crank case and remove unwanted gases. It was a shitty design and a lot of 327s from that era smoke as a result, especially when you really get on it. I could have gone the traditional PVC system but Instead opted for an evacuation system which keeps a negative pressure in the crankcase as opposed to a PVC system which relieves pressure as it builds up. A little extra work and some welding but a much better result. Glad it is finally done. Wife wants an early 50's pickup restomod so that may be the next project.

I did a lot of research after having had COVID and decided to get the vaccine because you end up with a better and broader spectrum of coverage against mutations. Also - a new study provides context to first dose reactions.

The truth is slowly coming out....and it is getting uglier by the minute.

If you can't see the difference, no need to continue the debate.

Don't let your bias cloud the facts. Urging them to scrutinize ballots in certain locations is not illegal...the optics of how those votes came is was odd to some but they were ultimately validated and true votes...the LIE was saying the Trump said to "FIND THE FRAUD"...which is far closer to a crime but a complete fabrication.

So they can claim purity...see we did our due diligence (finally).

Most will overlook the importance of what is happening here. The liberal press machine violated all ethical standards in order to weaponize itself against a President and control a negative narrative in order to remove him from power. I HATE defending Trump....he is a loud mouth narcissist but some of the things he did were very good...all that being said the machine which enjoys special protections under the Constitution ran off the rails. Trump said some shitty things that are on tape (comments on John McCain were horrific), and maybe that is enough to make you hate him...however, many of the "reported" things he said we completely fabricated but they were repeated over and over by the big hate networks as fact. What this retraction really shows is how far the press as an institution has fallen. In the past if there was a negative report the press had a DUTY to confirm the story and the source. It was part of their ethos. What is going on now and what happened here is the WASHPO had one source who passed along the comments. They did not bother to confirm...they other networks picked up the WASHPO story and they called the original source to confirm....and so on and so on and so on...The entire story was a fabrication from ONE person. The EXACT same thing happened with the story about Trump's comments on dead soldiers at Arlington. It was a fabrication from one source and when it was quietly retracted no one noticed and no one cared because the damage was done. Perhaps the biggest failure was the Steele Dossier...opposition research, paid for by Hillary's campaign, used not only politically but also criminally. The press ran with it and we had years of investigations. Years later we learned the FBI and Intel community went through the report line by line and found much of the report was a complete fabrication...damage was done. Again, maybe it doesn't make a difference with a President as divisive as Trump, but the bigger picture is the press which is supposed to the be 4th estate, neutral and in search of the truth, has been weaponized for one political party and that hasn't worked out very well in other countries.

F-22 pilot treated for minor injuries after landing gear failed to deploy

Have you had COVID?

I hope that's the case...I had a rebound yesterday and spent another 20 hours in bed with a fever, chills, and body aches. That SUCKED!

I am guessing that is the case. I am A negative which some studies have shown to have a harder time with the virus. I have no other comorbidites other than I could lose a few pounds.

So I got the Modern Vaccine yesterday through the VA...it beat me up. First let me say I was actually impressed with the VA. Retired 4.5 years and I've never used the VA for anything. A buddy likes them and told me he was able to schedule his vaccine in short order. The phone system was a bit wonky with multiple numbers published on the WWW, but once I got through they verified my name, DOB, and SSN. Then she said "can you come in tomorrow?" I arrived at the hospital yesterday a little before my and they greeted me at the door to screen me and put me in a the vaccine line to check in. That took less than two minutes and I was asked to wait in the lobby until they called my name. About five minutes later they called a group of us and put us in a line (I asked if they were calling me back to active duty). I got my shot and was asked to sit in a chair for 15 minutes to see if I had a bad reaction. They automatically scheduled my second shot but I will be out of town and I asked about changing it...they did it in about 30 seconds. EVERYONE I met in the process had a smile on their face and seemed to genuinely care...i am blown away and hopeful others get the same treatment. On the vaccine side...I got it at 1130, my arm was a little sore by 1430, and a lot sore by 1930. Went to bed old man early and woke up at 0130 absolutely freezing and my arm hurts like a MFer. I took some Tylenol and the fever is gone...I'm tired and sore so will relax today. Overall it was slightly worse than the Flu shot. Good luck to all who decided to get it before they decide for you.

Don't forget a clean sheet design F-16 replacement for the CSAF the flew F-16's...just what we need to counter China.

Well half the country burned last year and you didn't seem to give a fuck. The southern border is a complete shit show, we just added $1.9Trillion in debt with less than 10% of it actual COVID stimulus, 57 executive orders...what was I thinking...everything is wonderful.

Nothing to see here....as long as the Never-Trumpers got the orange man our of office...let the rest of it burn down.
