1913 is usually a pretty good bet when looking for an early bound on industrial chemical processing. Its the year that the Haber-Bosch nitrogen fixation process was first done on an industrial scale.
Surprise now yesterday melted by noon. Any chance of more surprise snow in the forecast, wx?
boooooooooooooooooooooooooo and I was just thinking yay, it would be back in a few weeks.
It's a 2005 Focus, but I don't actually hate it. It's like a guy calling his wife 'the old ball and chain' despite loving her dearly.
We have a long and complicated relationship...I'm a car guy, of sorts, but I haven't really had the budget (well, or priority...I probably have the budget) to really do much with cars, but I do like to have something with a little more flair than just basic transportation.
In early 2005, we bought a new car for me, thinking mrs00's car would last for quite a while...but a few months later she plugged a deer and totalled it. So, we needed something cheap, but kind of reliable (since it would be her car, and she's not going to be able to be futzing with something that has issues). We really only intended on it being a 'to get us thru until we can replace it' car, but the damn thing depreciated so fast it wasn't worth anything of use to trade or sell, but it didn't ever give us any issues to justify dumping it for little or nothing, so for basically 8 years, it's been in a holding pattern. With the kids, my more 'car guy' vehicle got traded off for the minivan and I inherited the Focus.
My desire for a more 'car guy' car with a little more personality wishes I could justify getting rid of it, but my practicality prevents me from doing it if it doesn't make sense.
So, honestly, if you're looking for a work beater, I would recommend a Focus. We've had it for 10 years now, and other than maintenance items (tires, brakes, etc), literally, the only thing we've spent on it was a throttle sensor about 6 years ago. Not too long after we got it, we blew a tire and the others weren't great, so I put some 80K warranty tires on it thinking it'd be the last set of tires I'd ever need to put on it. Just put another set on it this summer(didn't pay up for the 80K tires this time, though).
Pick up a used one for cheap, run 'er until she dies. Mine refuses to do so. So as much as I snipe about it being a piece of crap, it's really been a pretty good little car, just not what my 'car guy' ego might like.
Assuming McTallerton's name accurately reflects his physical dimension, I would say that he was on a different operation.
Glad to see you found the answer but, if necessary, you can footnote that I stated it was invented in 1872.

Impossible.
I can't let him think he's the Georges Niang All American of the RTT, but a decent Matt Thomas that gets a lot of hate...sure.
Hey, dudes - just wondering if (since you've surpassed the 1000 page mark) maybe it's time for a new thread? I won't close it so you can finish up whatever conversations you need, but if you wouldn't mind...
