My dad listed his house this weekend. I think Rodney is right that this is a bad time to list. But I wouldn't object to a bargain on something that we were considering anyhow.

Nice new tractor Doug !
Congrats

Oh I understand....and I don't really want to walk around them either. We learned a lot in 08 and I made some money by playing the game correctly. I don't want to see folks lose their shorts, but I think I'll be ready to pounce if the right opportunity comes up this fall. Its too early right now to know how this ChiFlu is really going to impact the economy long term.

A part of me still thinks some of the hype is political.....

It was quite awful (and still is). Was sitting in traffic in the rain last week and kept smelling diesel. Of course you never think its you, but I figured it out after a few miles when I realized I had 60 miles on the tank of fuel and I had half a tank of diesel.

I don't think I'd be running these filters the full 30k. Its risky based on my experience.

Unlike most truck owners, I actually really like the Ridgeline. If I was buying a midsize truck, it would be the top of my list. There are times where I wish I was in one in the DC area.
It certainly is. Transmission is perfectly smooth. Wife and I have both been asked to work from home this week so the truck has not left the garage.

Good morning fellow Covid survivors... It looks like the dealer's decision to only warranty replace one battery has burned me. I told them the passenger side was leaking as well... just not as bad. Well, they cleaned it and sent it back to me. A week later it had leaked again and was now starting to corrode the hold down. Of course, I was now a week out of warranty. I pulled the hold down, cleaned it, and painted it along with cleaning the battery top. Well, another week has passed and it's leaking again. So, now I'm trying to decide if I'm ready to stimulate the economy with the purchase of 2 AGM Odyssey batteries. They are the same price on Amazon as Autozone. Amazon gives me 5% back on my CC. Autozone would be much easier if I ever needed warranty service. What to do...

I'd go to Autozone. Your time is worth the 5% buddy. That sucks about the timing. I'd call that dealer first and ask them to make it right. Not only is it only a week, but you asked them to replace prior to being out of warranty. That's kind of BS...no, that's just BS.

I contacted them Andre. Crickets in response. At least I got one new battery out of them. Perhaps I can sell it for $75-100 on CL. I think the OE Motorocraft units go for $169 at the dealer....

Today is the day my new auto ramps arrived. Never owned a vehicle where I changed the oil and couldn't easily get under it. New Honda is built kind of close to the ground. 3,000 pounds per ramp.

WOW, those are sweet Bruce. I had to buy a set of low clearance ramps a few years back as well. This is what I use. Yours look much cooler though and have double the capacity...

I have a set of plastic ramps that say they're 12K. I proved the rating wrong. I ran the rear wheels of the truck up the ramps while the trailer was connected without the WDH configured. The ramps started to squish down.

Mine aren't plastic. They are some weird foam material developed by the military. SUPER light and strong.

Bruce, those look very similar to my dump trailer ramps...............discountramps.com?

Governor has shut most of PA down. As of right now my company is still exempt from the shutdown and considered essential. Some of our customers are being forced to shut down because the inspectors are off though. A day or two would be nice since I'm sick, but I don't want more than that. Tried to get the boss to send me home with pay today, but he said he's sick to so we're stuck in it together. Lol.

Don't think I have the virus, just a cold. Also don't think I will be a camper owner Saturday either............
