Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
The last 2 I saw do bad things were new. One went insane when up and
not attended, (guy had to let go to hook up a chain) that one almost
removed the side of my face and the other one just dropped 18" almost
taking the gent's foot and finger off.
A buddy's dad worked for the railroad and he showed/taught us about
those things back in the 60's. He was good and showed us all the ways
they can screw up before letting us near one.

Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
That POS bottle jack is the best tool for changing a flat tire. A HiLift is

Hi George,
In the fifties we had to use the dangerous bumper jack to jack the
car up high enough for the tire to clear the fender skirts:

In the fifties we had to use the dangerous bumper jack to jack the
car up high enough for the tire to clear the fender skirts:

Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
SIDS victim, cleaned
½ cup cooking oil
Carrots
onions
broccoli
whole cabbage
fresh green beans
potato
turnip
celery
tomato
½ stick butter
1 cup cooked pasta (macaroni, shells, etc.)
Remove as much meat as possible, cube, and brown in hot oil.
Add a little water, season, then add the carcass.
Simmer for half an hour keeping the stock thick.
Remove the carcass and add the vegetables slowly to the stock,
so that it remains boiling the whole time.
Cover the pot and simmer till vegetables are tender
(2 hours approximately).
Continue seasoning to taste.
Before serving, add butter and pasta,
serve piping with hot bread and butter.
Offspring Rolls
Similar to Vietnamese style fried rolls, they have lots of meat
(of course this can consist of chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp).
Who can resist this classic appetizer; or light lunch served with
a fresh salad? Versatility is probably this recipe?s greatest virtue,
as one can use the best part of a prime, rare, yearling, or the
morticians occasional horror: a small miracle stopped short by a
