I am interested to see where Hackett takes Ford. He's an 'out of the box' guy. To compete you must adapt.

I too had in-law problems. My ex-wife's mother was not too fond of me. Actually, she didn't like anything about me, including how I dressed. Most of all she hated, I mean hated, a pair of surfing shorts I had. They were colorful but not too loud, mostly shades of red and yellow. Well, on my ex's and my second Christmas together, I got a present just from her mother. It was a pair of short she sewed as a joke just for me. The most awful gaudy floral pattern you have ever seen. No tailoring, a quick stitch up the sides and crotch. With the draw string, looked like a bag. She laughed and laughed at my expense in front of the whole family. That was the last time she ever laughed in my presence. From then on, every time they would come to visit (they were from NY, we were in CO), I would wear those shorts. Wearing them at the Christmas dinner table with my J Geils Love Stinks t-shirt would send her into orbit. It would also shut her up for the entire meal. Revenge is best served with a big 'Kiss my ass'.

Does that beat a dusty Tupperware bowl?

Edit: Found them:

My Dad was part of the Army of Occupation in Japan after the War. He was involved with the clean up operations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I remember he had some fairly gruesome stories of that time. He died at age 53 of Cancer of the spine. I have always wonder if his time spent there had anything to do with is death.

Alan, My father was in the same situation with the same outcome. He was assigned to 2d ID(fwd). Died in '58 @ 38yo from a non-specific cancer that started in his abdomen. It ate him up. 
My mother was a member of MacArthur's secretarial pool in Tokyo. When my dad transferred back to the states, MacArthur gave her an inkwell that sat on his desk. I have it today.

IIRC, they were intended to go into truck engines. If you look, you should find HD thick wall pins on them. At least that is what my set has.

I am going to install silicone hoses on my Mustang. I am using constant torque hose clamps and was wondering how far to tighten them. I assume I should tighten until the spring starts to collapse but how far? Half way compressed?
