Camping for the next week outside of Grovespring, MO -chasing dogs through the hills! Might sneak over to Joplin and torment HC?! Can you DOT a guy while on duty?

First of all, Happy Birthday !!!
Ask Duane
He could talk on this subject some I believe...
I'm not well-liked around my house by teenage daughters, their boyfriends, my wife or my mother-in-law at present. Something about me being too "black and white" on "everything".
The 9-year-old boy and the dog still seem to like me.
Glad to hear you're doing your job........boyfriends and mother-in-laws.....that's a given! Lol!

Seems high price wise for 200,000 and the visible wear to the driver's seat. Photo of engine bay would give you a better idea of how it was kept before going up for sale- everyone cleans the outside and interior. More details on the "tuner" might give you better insight- a tuner on a truck owned by Don or RN is one thing, a tuner on a truck owned by my 23yr old son would be a "NO THANKS" for me.
I do know the PowerStrokes were plagued with major issues, some years much worse than others- of course within those years, many didn't have one problem, so hard to say! If you're serious, I'd knock them down on price to say $10,250 - price out a replacement on the driver's seat alone; should be enough justification, especially if heated.

Being Sunday, no trading and prices are low ~$1133 gold and ~$14.92 silver -which will hold until trading opens tomorrow morning.
JMBullion has a sale on 1.25 oz Canadian Silver coins = 20 for $435.50 netting 25oz. of silver. They also have a sale on 10oz. silver bars for $164.20 Two good options depending upon your needs. They have NO junk silver available in bulk right now, only Peace Dollars available and the $ per oz. is fairly high comparatively.

"Handgun Reviews by Real Man Staff" (suggestions)
"On Target"
"Get a Grip"
"Range Reports"
We might want to consider hand size when we file a review - I've got average size hands, but favor .45s so someone might consider that (with larger/smaller hands) when they read something I write-up compared to a review by someone with sausage fingers and wide palms.
For example: (my hand)
Wrist to tip of longest finger = 7.5"
Width across top of knuckles spread = 3.75"
Trigger finger = 3"

I'd defer to those with most experience developing the criteria/format-

i was thinking you would most certainly want to be able to change a tire with speed. not safe to be out there exposed for any length of time giving someone time to do not nice thing. a extension rod that couples on to extend past the rack like a ratchet extension that can accept either a hand crank or slam a cordless drill on it with be best of both worlds. have a little tall thin sleeve with a cap on the side of the rack to house the extension pieces to eliminate the search for them would be best i think
OR- unbolt spare and cut nylon strap flopping tire to ground, put on spare and ditty mau leaving jack, flat etc. where it lays.........⭐️⭐️⭐️

LOL- two foot-itus hits a saturation point and then reverses flow! That's why parents sell their home and "down size" so the birds can't re occupy the nest!
We have a 28' with a slide- very comfortable for the three of us and room for a guest of our daughters or two; beyond that, you gotta REALLY like someone to cram any more in it! Water discipline usually keeps that at bay, as most don't realize they're not at home where a running faucet is a non-issue!

Once format is adopted, I'd do the XDs in .45 as the difference between 9mm might be noteworthy.
Likewise, I could do a side-by-side comparison with the XD(M), Colt Gold Cup and XDs and a SW 645 in .45 - if anyone is interested.

Well... The first time I took the XDS out, it went full auto on me. Had to send it in for a recall repair... But otherwise shot pretty good. Ergonomically wasn't my fav

At full auto, did it still qualify as minute of a.. hole accuracy?

Wait, no Fumoto oil drain valve??
How does the AC work with the engine oil drained??
Did I read something about DOTs??
GOOD catch there JR, should have typed, "after refilling, while running the truck to check levels and for leaks"........DOT's, picking on DOT's.....what fun! ;D

Guess it's a universal thing to notice, once you have and use a load-leveling hitch! I didn't want to nitpick on Tate as he was setting off on a relaxing adventure (we hope relaxing- I lost a tire last time I used the RV) with the family!

So, after vacation with extensive hotel stay, I decided to do something with the sizable collection of toiletries accumulated: assemble 3 personal "kits" for each family member!
PART 1
Washcloth
Shampoo
Conditioner
Hand Lotion
Bar Soap
Q-tips
PART 2
Toothbrush
Floss
Toothpaste
Personal Wipes
Deodorant
More Bar Soap
I vacuum sealed each part, and then in honor of Dons Department of Redundancy redundancy, I vacuum sealed PART 1 & 2 together! Keeps items together, easy to distribute, no rattling around loose, waterproof and gives me source of additional bag type structure for whatever need may arise! Granted, not as easy to maximize space working on my PHD skills (pile it higher and deeper) within the pack, but then again, long term storage is extended with things being sealed. I also vacuum sealed three other wipe type packages to prevent drying out- 2 freshen-up types and one baby wipes.
A question for the masses, "In a SHTF scenario, what alternatives for TP have y'all considered?" I know in snow country, a fresh handful works pretty well, but what about the other 3 seasons of the year? :o

Upon listening to the news conference regarding the tragic shooting in Chattenooga today, and the repetitively STUPID questions asked by reporters; all of your observations are confirmed in the lives of today's adults!
"Lower the bar till they all get across" mentality has created a subclass of educationally induced retardation, where NOBODY calls individuals on their STUPIDITY! I may have to bide my remaining 4 years in education using the Southern method of acknowledging stupidity, using the phrase, "bless your heart" with my students and faculty alike!
Hope y'all find a similar means of aknowleding IDIOTS somewhere between a smack upside the head and a Bill Engvall "here's your sign" remark!

Is this solution even legal? Thought someone told me you weren't allowed to own those.
I don't know about subsonic ammo but more states than not allow silencers. I think its a $200 fee to the feds but once you have that you can get one. Lots of states allow them for hunting also.
I think this map is a few years old and even more states allow them now....

I hate being left out of the "legal" ownership category!

Prayer sent-
Lots of ice and keep it above your heart so the throbbing stays to a minimum. Probably a good thing it's split from a pain stand point- built up pressure hurts LOTS!

So while waiting for the oil to stop dripping, I climbed in the cab, enjoyed the A/C, reset the Oil Life meter and refreshed myself with the proper Trans Fluid level checking procedure, as far more than the amount in the external filter drained out when I changed it, while I was crawling under things.
Well, you know how the lock button is right where you rest your elbow? Yep, running to check for leaks etc., shut door to that stomach dropping sound of the doors locking! Thank goodness for "BlondeStar" and the unlock App on my phone! For some reason, spare set wouldn't unlock door while running using the key fob!
No leaks, levels fine, took waste oil to store I purchased the filters from, and managed to keep from getting any oil all over myself draining it into the waste tank! :)
2485
« on: July 15, 2015, 05:05:23 PM »
So, to add something of actual worth, I'm sharing how I keep the oil that spills forth from the filter when you break it loose......cardboard box top, folded and stuffed against the back of the filter mount angling towards the catch bucket!

Some Dino Oil and a little juice for the Trans-
Pulled the plug then jacked up the left side to get more of the old oil outta the depression ahead of the drain- jack was lonely and needing some exercise!

Thought I'd post up something "constructive" from a DOT!

Nice build Britt- agree on rock rails! My step tubes saved me from bodywork due to a glacier at the exit of a parking lot this past winter; bent the tube, but saved the body! Even in the winter the mulch beds will get you!

Seems on the high side don't you think? $11,000 seams about right to me if all is as solid as it appears.

Yesterday the Red Dog ran away!
Yippee!
No more red dog!!!!!!!!!!!
Then late last night the D@)&!! thing came home and was covered in sewer mixins!
We tied it up and power washed it. Should have drowned the thing...
D@)!&^!! dog! Its possessed
Don, you aren't connecting the DOTs! Red Dog was on a RECON mission and had stocked up on ammo before heading out to battle the evil cats.......H.I.S.S. thought they'd cornered Red Dog, but having listened to your discussion on ingress and egress, went sub-grade to avoid detection and capture!
2496

For the record:
[/size]
Neat design, had the "contraption" angle to it that reminded me of the early "Little Rascals" movie vehicle with the articulated punching glove type stuff, and it was going to pack neatly back into itself!
Question Red Dog as to winches whereabouts- I suspect somewhere around the stoop from the garage into the house 'cause that'd be about where it'd land when you tossed it.........just saying!

Got a email link from a Survival Institute, watched the video etc. and was intrigued.......$50 for "blueprints" to build your own Electric Generator from parts available from Radio Shack etc. and was wondering if anyone had any first hand knowledge of the "Strings Generator" etc.
Not a horrible price if legit, but seems like possible "snake oil" fundraiser for someone who's not me too!

Like the "hood pin" solution to the latches- get yourself some cables to hold the puns when out of the latch and your all set!
I plan to!
Oh and guess what we've been finding in the yard??? You guessed it!
One .22 round ended up in the driveway and a truck ran it over, scarring it, or maybe those were teeth marks. But it didn't go off. I cut grass today. Thought about sitting on a flack jacket, but with that super thick deck, It was all good...and no unintentional discharges so far...
Time to go to your local rental center and set the Pre-Rangers up with a metal detector and a mission for a few hours- kinda like mine sweeping detail!
