    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    More realistic prices can be had. I purchased my Ram 2500 crew cab for 42k + tax/title/lic.

    Anyone running classic (old) two cycle outboards?

    My father gave me this 14'ft 1951 aluminum boat along with a 1972 Evinrude 25hp 2 stroke. The motor is clean and runs great! It's a sweet little ride.

    New tires for my RAM 2500: Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure

    All I know is that this tire has been on the market for 10+ years and was purchased at a significant discount. I couldn't find any name-brand, load range E, 60k-mile tire even close to this price point. These tires have to be better than the OEM Firestones that I'm currently running...

    New tires for my RAM 2500: Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure

    I was casually browsing on tirerack.com for some LT285/60R-20, load range E tires as I had some downtime in my day. I found 4 Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar Pro-Grade E, 60k mile tires on closeout for $220 per tire w/ free shipping. Only 4 were available, so I jumped on it...

    Anyone cut their own hair?

    During covid, my wife learned how to blend/fade my hair. She's been cutting it with trimmers ever since.

    Post your latest tractor oil change.

    While walking through Walmart this evening, I came across Royal Purple 15w-40 Diesel oil in gallon jugs for $15. It meets the specs required for my Kubota. I bought all of them. I now have oil on the cheap for the next two oil changes. This will be going in my new Kubota L2502. I've...

    Do you get or will you get a pension?

    Yes, I pay into the same pot. It is concerning!

    Do you get or will you get a pension?

    Yes, I'll earn 55% of my highest 5 years' earnings for life at age 61 as a "full pension." I'm not sure if I can make it another 20 years in my current role/profession. It's exhausting!

    Just had meeting with boss for yearly evaluation and pay raise

    Congratulations on being recognized for your hard work! No matter how hard I work, my salary scale yearly increases are never above a 3.5% raise, and this year it’s 3%. That can be one of the challenges of being a public servant. My salary has been frozen previously for years... That said...

    Potential winter storm this week.

    No, the water feeds were located in a small, unfinished storage space adjacent to my kids’ bedroom. The pipes ran through the garage and up to the tub’s mixing valve. Although the wall cavity was insulated, the CPVC pipes were not. I was napping while the water ran continuously. By the time I...
