Yep---that's solid.
Used to do that.
Oil was also the typical treatment for dirt roads.
And, at work, they would save up all the old oil from oil changes until they filled a 55 gallon drum, then they would put it in the bucket of a loader, punch some holes in it, and spread it around the lot to cut down on the dust.
The CEO of IKEA was just elected Prime Minister in Sweden.
He should have his cabinet together by the end of the weekend.

My grandfather taught my brother to count using dice. My mother found out when he yelled “hey pop, you crapped out”.The teacher was quizzing Little Johnny on his counting ability. "Can you count to ten, Johnny?" she asked.
"Sure I can! My dad taught me. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!"
"Your father did a good job, Johnny. Do you know what comes after ten?"
"Yes ma'am! A jack!"
Our local FedEx charter was a Trilander back in the early 2000s. Odd-looking bird.I recall flying in a BN Islander from Grand Cayman to Cayman Brac back in 1980 or 81. Definitely slow and noisy but an interesting aircraft.
The original GM 5.7l diesels had a problem with heads warping (they were basically modified gas engines, as you’ll recall, rather than being designed as diesels.) my dad bought a used car, knowing the heads were warped, and took it to the neighbor’s shop. The neighbor glued the heads on with JB Weld and said, “it’ll either fail right away or last a long time.” When Dad sold the car 100,000 miles later, it was still going strong.You need a little JB Weld black for that when it goes back on.
Paul Harvey assured us that it will hold !
"Going strong" is doing some heavy lifting when referencing a GM350 diesel, lol. Barely enough to move under it's own power!The original GM 5.7l diesels had a problem with heads warping (they were basically modified gas engines, as you’ll recall, rather than being designed as diesels.) my dad bought a used car, knowing the heads were warped, and took it to the neighbor’s shop.

Hey, if the car can say 6.9mm when it’s clearly not that height the whole way, why can’t the truck do the same thing? (No opinion on the submarine measurements. Those are probably Top Secret.)
