Haha, that makes more sense. I only vaguely remember you talking about this truck. Is it new? Is it something you just finished? What's the deal again?Quote:

It's a bit light so even with awd I have to baby it in snow. Otherwise it's been great. Kept up on all the maintenance. Still on the original clutch at 175k miles. Mpg is in the high 20s on the highway. If we drive slower we can get better than 30. I've had it on some forest roads where the subarus couldn't make it. Not an off road vehicle but it will get you to decent camp sites. We'll probably keep it for a long time.Quote:

Pulling the nos will make you lose pts off of your man card.
Hypothetically.

I liked the HP Deskjet Mobile 100 that the insurance company gave me. It was small and extremely simple and worked all the time. Turns out it is also $199.99. Seems like a big expense for something I'll hardly every use, but I may have to do it. In the same boat, wife is letting me borrow her ultra tough camera; but the thing only has optical zoom. Going to end up dropping the coin for a decent camera as well. Sooner rather than later.
Night shifts suckQuote:

How's have you been bro-ho! How's the little badgers doing?
Is it something you'd be able to run 100% out of your car?Quote:

Off sandbags when the wind died down could nail them consistently. Told son the holdovers and he nailed the 400 plate a couple of times, much improvement. Glock for fun, he needs more work there. Met a club member and ran his 9mm SW revolver. Son enjoyed that gun.
Need moar ammo now. Cople of guns to resight in and minor fixing.
What a nice Saturday.[emoji477]
Yeah, sucks. The real problem is that I can never make up the lost sleep. I end up getting between 3-5 hours of sleep after a shift and that just isn't enough for me to function properly.Quote:

I can't wait to move somewhere else.Quote:

Ha! It's a shame because he wants to play with them, but they don't want to play with the only white kid around. :(Quote:
