I still drive 1998 and 1979 Ford Trucks. `The replace by date' is problably something like 2008 on the 1998, and 1989 on the 1979. [ (- 2018 1987) 31 - OMG & double Yikes]. I've been using outdated machinery for 31 years. I probably shouldn't have posted that. It might end in me doing time if the `Out dated' police see this. (Or even just for being overly silly .. he he).
