Straw-clutcher Dave, the dopey,

What the hell has engine overhauls have to do with the price of gasoline
or the amount of foreign imports??

I'll answer your stupid question. First engine overhaul a Model T ford,
2 model A fords, a 1934 plymouth,

Hey ol thom, since people are changing the subject , I will too.

A 40 gallon drum of oil in PA. in the mid 1800's sold for 40 dollars.
In todays terms that is 700 dollars a barrel.

Todays price is a bargain.

Joe,

In reply; How many automobiles did they have in the 1800's.

Joe, I found photographs in my office of those barrels you speak of
(Wooden,by the way) being loaded on Square Rigged Clipper Ships for
England. That was Oil for Drakes first oil well ever.

The Atlantic Refining Co was a out-growth of the Schukyull Barrelling
Co.
They still had the Batch Stills where they would drive the Lamp Oil off
the heavy ends before shipping. Out of Service of course. That was the
Fore-runner of the Refinery. They progress to Paraffin and finally full
distillation and fractionation.

I loved that old Refinery. It was like working in a Museum.

What's up with the night soap?

Joe

Joe,

Ah yes! I'll go off topic for that. Another group I'm active with is MML
(Myasthia Gravis List) It's a Disorder I've had for some 17 years. A
fairly new member from South Africa was complaining about pain to her
Neurologist. The Neuro. told her there was NO PAIN with MG.

I just couldn't let that slide. I posted her saying; "I would just like
to have her Neuro Have my Leg Cramps for one night!" I got a reply from
Sara in Michigan saying "This is going to sound dumb but my
Father-in-Law swears by it. A unwrapped bar of soap in bed at his feet
stops the cramps" Whats to lose. I tried it.
ZERO CRAMPS for fifty-seven days. Only problem was keeping the Soap in
bed.

That's the Rig I came up with. Works. I was surprise how many other
jumped on the solution. One sleeps with sweatpants, with a bar in each
off his pants. Elastic Cuffs. a lot of inquiries so I posted the picture

Don't ask me how it works. I don't know. The Drs laugh at us but pass
the information along

Wonder if there could be something else at work here. My wife doesn't have
MG so far as we know, but used to wake up with leg cramps fairly regularly.
Her Dr. told her to drink some tonic before going to bed. Apparently the
quinine in the tonic prevents the cramps. YMMV.

My wife drinks tonic water with quinine in it. She says it eases her
leg pain too.
She has Fibro Myalgia sp though.

I drink tonic with gin, no leg cramps here, so I guess it works! ;-)

Did you wear sweatpants w/o the soap before?

It could just be the warmth from the sweatpants.

No Scotty,

I have a Dog named Jazz who liked to sleep at my feet. She says that
Damned Soap ruined that but before that Sweats were to warm for me.

By the way, that is one of the reasons for the "Ankle Rig" The "Jazz"
moved up to my Chest level and with the tossing and turning the soap
would get to the same level and Jazz would leave the bed in disgust. She
sleeps on the other pillow now. I pull it down so that she can get
covers on her, with the air conditioner running.

59 Nights without cramps, so far.

No auto's.
The high price of oil was due to the shortage of whales.
It was getting to a critical point and the cost of good whale oil was
very expensive.

Whale oil was the primary source of illumination, and lube for the
start of the industrial revolution. All my kin on one side of the
family were oilfield.
My mom and aunt as children flew with H. Hughes in Corpus Christie. He
was selling rides on his plane. Grandpa was developing down hole
perfforators working with nitro for Standard Oil at the time. He was
working for Standard Oil drilling on the island of Cibi in the
phillipines when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He joined up with Marco's
rebels.. then was given a field commission as a 2nd Lt QMC.

Schukyull in PA was the first ever to drill for oil correct?

Joe,

Spanish Bowline? Maybe; At 80 I'm a user of "Depends" What you see is a
simple overhand knot tied around the soap with an elastic Strap from
depends. Since they have a button on each end, I simple cut the end off
a Depend and button on to my ankle. Works for Me!

That I do Scotty,

Bananas, and use Potasium Salt rather than Sodium. Tried the tonic but
the Quinine raises hell with the MG, Nothing is cheaper than a Bar of
Jergens ( What I had) I've since learned that any hard mill soap will
do.

No Joe,

Drake was the first to drill the first well. Schukyull Barrelling
Company was the first to barrel it and ship it. As I said Joe, in wooden
barrels on Wooden sailing ships.

By the way, Standard Oil was still delivering oil to Hawaii in drums by
Sailing Square Rigged ships right up to WW2. although I have to admit
they were Steel Drums and the Sailing ship was a Five Masted Clipper
steel hulled.

I'll try to get a copy of the picture of the boat. The Daughter of the
Captain,who was Born on that ship is still alive an lives in Bellingham.
She married a 3rd Mate who worked for Richfield, When we Staffed this
Refinery we became good Friend. He is died but Charlet is still living

Some W Va hillbillies might disagree.
''
As early as the 1820s, oil drilled from West Virginia wells
was used as a light source and an industrial lubricant
marking the first documented commercial use of oil in this
country, says the author of a new history book on West
Virginia's early oil and gas business.

David McKain, a Parkersburg, W.Va., businessman whose
great-grandfathers participated in the oil boom of the
1860s, has authored a book that challenges Col. Edwin L.
Drake and his neighboring Pennsylvanian long-time claim as
the birthplace of the oil business.''

Leg cramps at night and restless leg syndrome.

Magnesium in an absorbable form works for many. A carnation instant
breakfast daily, madnesium citrate liquid, for example.
