There's a peanut butter factory I drive by when I go through lexinLexi.

It smells awesome.

That smells good just thinking about it.

When I was a kid, we toured the Hershey plant which was real cool.

I took my kids 25 years later but now the tour is a silly virtual tour with movies.

I asked a girl working there why and she said they didn't want their stuff 'contaminated' by dust and dirt. You know how dusty and dirty tourists are. WTF?

I went to grad school at UCDavis in the late 70's, at the east edge of town there was a Hunt's tomato factory. The town was surrounded by 1000's of tomato acres. The factory made tomato soup, sauce and ketchup; doing one product for weeks, then next product. The the whole area smelled of some tomato product from Sept-March. Tomato soup wasn't that pleasant

That's cheap, does it have a built in regulator? If not be careful with it, they can evaporate the acid in a battery if it's constantly trying to push a charge.

I dunno.

It was a 42.99 advanceauto.com product that you yet 25% off for opening an online acct.

I just want to keep truck charged for a couple more weeks while I finish garage here. They didn't give much written instructions. I'll have to check Coleman website.

Edit: I was thinking I'd use it on tractor in the winter, it comes with terminal clips too, but it now dawns on me that the tractor isn't a 12 volt battery. I'll figure out something to use it for. Probably my old car when I get the truck back here.

You know, that isn't even a remotely expensive coffee, but it's pretty damned good. I used to go to Pigeon Forge a lot before it got all carnival-like, and I'd always bring back some Bennett's BBQ sauce and some JFG coffee.

i don't think they make peanut butter anymore, but it was good, you were getting it fresh, the factory was only 20 miles away, and at that time, they had miles of peanuts growing in the area

Here's a few pics of the floor I spent 12 hours on today.
4 different colors
9 different sizes
It creates a 7'6x6' pattern that interlocks , it has a main floor plus three tiers that are on angles. And the floor has to appear to be unbroken when viewed from above. And yes it has observation windows because it is a recital hall.

Fun fun fun . ( Hitting the bowl, nodding off)

What?

Abe liked Hershey's? I thought he was more of a Nestle's kind of guy.

TBH, I never buy Hershey's. There's a local chocolate place that kicks ass if I want chocolate and Smucker's makes better sauce.

The best sauce was Bosco but it went the same way as Otto milk and Sealtest cottage cheese. Which you probably never heard of but they were good.

Bosco! Good shit. @c2g Help me here: was it Sheriff John or Engineer Bill who had the daily Bosco drinking session?

I doubt it would hurt to use it in your tractor. The voltage wouldn't be a problem. So little amperage I don't think it would hurt a thing.

It might but I don't see how.

I think it was Engineer Bill. But I'm not 100% sure.

Edited to add: I remember him doing Nestle too and I preferred Bosco and my mom bought Nestles. Such a disappointment but then again after I carped I got plain milk so I decided Nestle was ok.

"But the highlight of the show for young viewers came when Engineer Bill and his two guests played "Red Light, Green Light." The game, with his audience joining in at home, was simple:

As Stulla and his two guests sat with their milk glasses poised, an off-screen announcer, usually "Freight Train" Wayne Thomas, would cry out, "Green Light" -- the signal to start drinking.

When Thomas abruptly yelled "Red Light,' they had to immediately stop drinking. The goal of the game was to finish the glass of milk without drinking on the red light."
