    The squat rack is for squatting, not putting 10 lb plates on an olympic bar for bro curls.

    Just an fyi to let you know I have, maybe, lost my mind. I let the wife talk me out of getting the new Bronco this spring and have settled for a restored '78 Blazer and will now be the somewhat proud owner of a new Tesla Truck... I do this with the interest of living a happy life, until that thing dies halfway to anywhere and I get to listen to a bunch of questions a certain person could very well answer herself but instead will ask me. If I didn't like that Blazer so much this would be a bigger deal but it is what it is. That and the fact that it'll be two years before we get one, blargh.

    And I did own a Tesla Roadster from 2011-2015 and I liked it, a lot. Just was never fond of the charging process.

    God forsaken ugly damn truck. When you have an electric pick up you don't have the balls hanging off the receiver hitch, your wife has them in a jar somewhere.

    With 1/4 the amount of traffic. That is why a snowstorm in Minnesota is an issue,it is the traffic and the crashes every snowstorm.

    True that. Just heard on the scanner there are five cars off the road on the road I need to take home. Probably all Priuses.

    That's a mixed bag. The land itself is wonderful, the ppl are a little crazy. But since the out of state licence fee is only 100 I would say go for it. Just go deep and be prepared to throw fists if you meet others. We are as a whole getting better but it was not long ago when the average age of the bucks killed was 1.5. it's definitely a brown and down state but growing a little better each year.

    Where are you thinking ?

    And the money will only go to black residents, no matter if their family was impacted by slavery. Either way, it is crap. And the lawmakers who pass these bills should be charged for knowingly violating the constitution.

    @Sota and @Heritage, at least when you guys complain about snow it is legitimate. Here in Arkansas, there will be a panic on the commute home tonight is snow is forecasted for Christmas Day. I miss snow, my kids have no idea how deprived their childhoods are by the lack of it.

    Mine are generally found resting on her chin.. but dont tell her I said that.. lol

    I think she just likes saying we own a Tesla or at least she did with the last one. I will say, I whooped a lot of folks in the quarter mile with that car including some Oklahoma City "outlaws". Hell for what it's worth, that was the third fastest car I ever drove, second fastest I own.

    Ontario county. Seems that area gives out the most tags, and a non res has a good chance of drawing. Not coming all that way for one deer.

    8g 8A both are also a lock for 2 buck and all 4 doe tags. I do not believe there is public in 8A though. If you make it out here coffee is on me.

    They're talking central and western NY...
    Hell, they call soda 'Pop'. :poke:

    Southern tier used to be the most dangerous, all the crazies from 'the city' would hunt, especially the Delaware up through Catskill areas.

    Real NYers know 'upstate' means the greater Adirondacks
