These people must live in a rough neighborhood. They have wheel locks on their steel wheels….

Back when I was younger, more virile and more foolish, I did that with my wife with Halloween pumpkins. The deal was something like "all you can carry for $25". I staggered out with 310# of pumpkins.

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so
I sat down and had a cold beer.
The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.
My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing,
and I said, "Nothing."
The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"
At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.
Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?
Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?
Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.
Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:
A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."
But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."
I rest my case.
Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

Chevrolet 283 small block?

I believe that's a Ford 427 SOHC.
A teeny bit related... The trivia question was, "what pony car did Chevrolet introduce in 1967?" The guys in our group looked at me like monkeys doing math when I said it's the Camaro because the Mustang is a Ford, and it came out in '64. One guy countered, "I'm a car expert and it's the Mustang."
Yeah, we lost that round.

“427” has a nice ring to it.

1996 F1 World Champion Damon Hill is standing at the exact spot where Micheal Schumacher wiped him out of the 1994 Australian GP in Adalaide . Had Schumacher not have done it then he would've had to retire as he clipped the wall several corners before thus Damon would've went on to become the 1994 World champion. If anything it was unsportsmenlike behaviour bordering on cheating but that's the way it was back then.

'Ghosts' of the Coal Mines.
These horses or "pit ponies" were deprived of experiencing the sunlight and fresh air. Instead, they lived in darkness underground, relying on their instincts and the guidance of their human partners, known as conogons. These horses were born, worked, and perished in the dark, enduring strenuous labor. It was not uncommon for a single horse to pull up to eight heavy coal wagons alone. Despite their challenging circumstances, these animals maintained their dignity and were aware of their rights, such as refusing to move if they felt burdened with excessive wagons. They also possessed a remarkable sense of time, knowing when their working day should end and finding their way back to the stables even in darkness. This demanding work of horses in the mines continued until 1972 when technology took over, marking the end of an era. On December 3, 1972, Ruby, the last miner's horse, emerged from the mines in a grand fashion. Accompanied by an orchestra, Ruby, adorned with a flower wreath, was brought out of the darkness, symbolizing the conclusion of the era of mining horses and their connogon partners. To commemorate their shared labor underground, a sculptural composition named "Conogon" was erected within the Museum-Reserve "Red Hill".
