   What's this 2 key crap yall are talking about, Back in my day we did this both ways, in the snow, even.


I grew up with tractors like that, and ones you had to spin the flywheel...

I have the crank for my '41 International, but that also had the optional electric start (6 V).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

After losing the keys, would start my '73 Ford F-600 with a couple of paper clips.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

This really is a 'truth' I learned the hard way. At the time I was working in an office complex with a mall. My wife's birthday so I went to the mall. Saw a couple of female mannequins in my wife's size so I bought whatever they were wearing. Didn't really choose anything. The same way I buy a suit.

My wife flipped out. There was no hug or thankyou. She suddenly became really serious. She took both the outfits out of the boxes and laid them out on the bed without saying a word. Then she started switching everything around. I just left the room. Did not have a clue what was happening, but whatever it was it was way over my head.

Yes, never buy woman clothes. Best to stick with jewelry. Makeup never crossed my mind.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

First car had one of those, and it even came with a playable cassette for Blondie.

We see that up this way. An oilfield water hauler (Semi-tanker truck) thought he was turning around in a field.  Nope.
