Crossed threads are tight threads.
Anyone wanna loot in my basement? There's lots of good stuff down there... just go on down and see.
I'm sure there's some interesting stuff I wouldn't wanna smell or touch. Maybe after the furnace is cleaned and ceramic waxed....

Don’t the people down there care about others coming to take their stuff?
What people? There's no people down there! I don't have to stand here and listen to these wild allegations!

But not Hemi (TM)

The newer ones, at least the 5.7 are not as much of a Hemi as the old ones because of the dual plug.

DOHC 4V stuff usually doesn't look very hemi-ish either.

But didn't the original Hemi's have both plugs cast into the head, and just one set opened up depending on driver's or passenger's side? So, was relatively easy to make them dual plug.

Newer ones are far closer to the "cresent" chamber of the 429 Boss.

Im watching locals loot and riot on the news....which is the new hot media thing now. Coronavirus is old news, not much talk about it anymore now that there's protests and riots to report on. Oh and there was a police chase back on again the other day, it was strangely a comforting sign of some normalcy....

I thought it was interesting that every shoe and clothing store had been cleaned out, except for the Redwings store. The place was untouched by surrounding looters. They sell work boots.
Corona was so last month.

'cept in Michigan where you still can't get a legal haircut.
Here either, but they haven’t quite finished destroying all local businesses yet. They’re trying to figure out how Amazon can deliver haircuts, but it’s not working well. Give them a bit more time.

I haven't heard that song since... the 80's. I put it on my music download list.

They closed all the covid testing sites here in Chicago Saturday though Wednesday due to the protests and rioting going on here. Yesterday they opened them all back up for anyone that wants to be tested. They're trying to acquire data to further regulate when things can open back up the next phase. I suspect there will be a pretty good influx in cases. It kinda seems most have forgotten all about it. Except the cashier and shelf stocker at Walmart yesterday... I got yelled at because I was going down the isle the wrong way by the stock person... and the cashier (who was having a really bad day apparently) that yelled at me for putting my items on the conveyer belt before the person in front of me items weren't completed being checked out. She also said I was standing to close to the person in front of me... to which I counted the 12 inch floor tiles between us... and there were 7.
