    You know, either I've gotten smarter/more cautious or the Ford truck I have now is much better than the last couple I've had. I haven't been stuck in about 4 years since I got it. That truck can go through a lot of sh!t!

    It's not the truck...it's the tires.

    You can have the best tires available, you get high centered you are done.

    No doubt tires are a big factor. This one has a little more clearance, but the big difference is the power. This one can snot in 4x4 high where the other two dogged out when things got nasty in snow.

    Escalating this silly proxy war with tanks to fight the Russians will not go well.

    The green house arrived
    Box tore all to hell top and bottom. The skin showing through but doesn't look ripped at moment but need to open entire box to see what may be missing from the gapping hole on the bottom.
    Fed X try hiring guys that can lift the weight and not drag the boxes.
    Took pics incase a claim is required.

    Good news...car passed inspection

    Again today on the way home, left lane DA but not blocking I got around in a hurry and the clown started closing the gap, didn't last long he must of had his wife in the car with him? I don't get it if I see somebody coming up behind I will move over to the right and let them go by even if I have to slow down. People drive like idiots, another rant people who are going 40 mph at the end of an on ramp and there are 5-6 cars behind them. You have to merge into 70 mph traffic.

    My Dad asking me to come down to Florida end of March to drive him back. His 22 year old sugar tit grandson will be down there, that squid can make the drive with him. Thing is the little entitled puke could not change a tire or deal with any issues, or look out for my Dad. So pissed.

    I so want to be wrong, but doubt the evening protest will be peaceful. And if/when the cops are convicted, they serve full sentences.

    I just had 2 hernias repaired. My rant when your insides feel like they are ripping apart and the surgeon tells you that it's because the suture got my muscle and shouldn't have.

    Did that 2 years ago. Not fun. If you are allowed to walk, go for it.
