I thought about doin' that (briefly) yesterday when I saw th' OP's
query. I've got two complete shovel motors and a Knuck motor sittin'
here inna shop. Then I got to thinkin' that th' Knuck has cast iron
cylinders n' heads, a tad heavier than th' shovels. Then I envisioned
Jeanne's bathroom scale imploding... it only goes to 200 lbs. Then I
started thinkin' about my Elk rib eye steak dinner for last night
resembling shoe leather, complete with dog shit inna treads, and
decided it might not be a real good idea.
So, how ya been Brer Conehead, life is good we hope?
Snarl... that steak was excellent, by th' way
