Happy Spring !

 

 

 The 2026 spring equinox (vernal equinox) occurs on
Friday, March 20, at 10:46 a.m. EDT. This moment marks the official start of astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun aligns directly over the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths.

 

Enjoy your Friday!

"Six hunnert haws-pow-ah."

 

600 HP Snow Natural Gas Pumping engine at Coolspring June 2013.  Shown here is the start-up operation and shutdown of this most impressive engine. After several years of hard work, the job had progressed where the crew was able to perform a few test runs.  On this particular test ( the fourth start-up) a few mechanical adjustments had been made and on-line fuel valve settings performed.  My hats off to a truly incredible volunteer effort by the Coolspring Museum staff 

 This engine was manufactured by the Snow-Holly Works of Buffalo, New York, and is serial number G329.  It has two tandem 24 inch bore x 48 inch stroke cylinders that are double-acting.  Total displacement is 86,800 cubic inches or 1,423 liters.  The rated output of the engine is 600 hp at 100 RPM which yields a torque value of 31,500 ft-lbf.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Give 'Em Hell Coach!

 BREAKING: Sen. Tommy Tuberville just told leftists to SCREW OFF after they got triggered he called Muslims "the enemy inside the gates" Q: "Do you have any regrets?" TUBERVILLE: "NO, I don't have ANY regrets whatsoever! I meant every word I said!" THAT'S how you do it, senator! "The enemy is inside our gates. We got them here. Joe Biden and Barack Obama brought them here by the thousands. It's a disgrace!" "You know, if you preach or teach Sharia law, you need to go home!" "You don't fit in the United States of America. We're a Christian country. If you pray to the Quran, the Quran speaks 'kill all infidels.' And infidels are people that are not Muslims. And that means all Americans and all Christians that are not Muslims. So I have no regrets!" Tuberville represents a red state and he acts like it. This is what every GOP senator should do.
