im on here daily i just dont post cause you guys usually already got someone beyond on the right track. and i usually am doing work related crap all the time so i dont have much to spare. i decided to kick back with some rum and coke tonight and not do work so here i am.lol as far as deer hunting try putting out corn and stuff a month before season to change their pattern apples and acorns work great as well.and check your regs and see when you can and cant have an area baited.you can also twist a barb wire fence to create a crossing.

Hey Rupe! Nice to hear from you again.
I've been out of the loop for a while now since going back to school.
I've been attending class 5 days a week for an industrial automation course. Right now I'm half way through the core program and next year gets into 3 phase motor controllers, programmable logic controllers, assembly robots, fluid control systems, etc.
Tonight was the first time I've driven my truck in months. The last exam came back better than my average so I went snow boarding. My electric car is my current daily driver, and I'll probably let the insurance on the truck run out when its due next month. Might just be the excuse I need to start replacing sheet metal on it. Sure does drive nice even after sitting all winter.

I've still got that same commute, and would love to have a Nissan Leaf as it would work perfectly for me, but there is no way I will ever spend that much on a car.

This what you had? 1980 Jet Electrica 007
I converted mine in our shop in-between railing jobs over the last few years. And I thought the E4OD upgrade was in over my head
Its lighter than a Nissan Leaf at 3000lbs, and has a larger capacity battery (30.7kwh). I did 100 miles with it but only once. I want to repeat that drive, but haven't got around to it yet.
Yes, I realize its a saturn, but it was cheap, light, reasonably streamlined, had manual steering, and not [very] rusty.
Hope nobody minds the topic....

Hey guys got my self a 86' 6.9l single cab, solid frame, rough body, nothing some bondo and chicken wire cant fix
. does not run currently, gotta wait to get paid to get the ball rolling, snagged it for 1250 though so i cant complain, also came with original 1986 ford body,engine ect, and maintenance books. There older then I am lol. Worst part about this truck is once again, i have to do o-rings and return lines and....an exhaust job....
