Going to the casino at Mt. Pleasant for Thanksgiving day. I don't gamble much, but they do have a bar...

I know feeling.

When I got this F350 I been fight myself not drive. It only had almost 10K miles since June 3. If it was gasser it would have been 20-25K by time.


If they still go up I maybe buy moped for short transportation errand. Save $ and tear on F350 for short transportation

I just put $140 in my tank, so yours is going to have to wait to see if I hit it big at the casino. I usually walk in with $20 and make it all day, including beer.

I'll be posting another technical thread next week. Have to do the o-rings on my fuel bowl. I'll show how drinking beer actually is better for fuel bowl repair.

That's a good idea. I am down to 3 30 packs out in the barn. And if a few people stop over that could be gone quick.

My Dad would try get me use his toro snowblower which only 24" I think. I HATE. Killing my low back and it get forever to clean our giant sidewalk and 3 cars driveway. 4" snow would get you about 2 1/2 hour with walk behind blower VS 30-50 mins in tractor with plow or snowblower.

Last year for 4 years I had Case/Ingersoll 222 with 44" plow that was best but for 4 years it saw alot of sidewalk so it tired worn out. Mount for plow been welded.

Shovel no way. I would spend $ on equipment or hired people to do.
