Speaking of that sad place.
I do hope that you will vote yes when WE of the other half of
Washington State ask to split it county into two. The outer can Keep
King County and the inner aka Seattle gets a new name Crook County
comes to mind.

Been a long time since I've posts here. You talking about splitting King County or the state? I've been intrigued by some of the ideas floating around about splitting OR and WA vertically. Giving the left side to the left and the right to the right basically.

@GruesomeJeans Not sure if you ever picked up a drill or impact but Home Depot looks to be running a sale on the M12 line with either a included bare tool or a heated Jacket. All sub $200 as well.

Thanks for the links bud, I have yet to pick up any new tools, I've had some other things going on. The jeep, possibly a third project truck to replace my F150, and so on. Work has also been keeping me busy so I haven't been getting much sleep.

In the last two nights after work I have seen a few Weirdo's out. Is this like a Friday the 13th type thing?

Maybe it's just stoners of Washington.

There are always weirdos out at night. One of the few reasons I've stayed working at the gas station for so long. Plenty of strange people to see.

Progress at my house has been slow to say the least. The only thing I've done recently was hauling gravel. That has caused me to start looking for a new truck again, but this time an F250/350. Something I can haul a ton of material in without worrying about the suspension and the little bumps in the road. I'm thinking my limit is around $25,000 so I have to look in the early to mid 2000s era. There are a few but a lot.of them have 150,000 or more miles, I'd prefer something less. Tacoma Fiat has a relatively nice one but it looks lifted. I'm not a huge fan of pre lifted trucks due to the lift being done improperly.

Korum Hyundai has a couple I wouldn't mind looking at. One had a 6.4 turbo diesel, the other is a 6.0. I don't know squat about any of the motors in the big trucks so this will be a learning experience.

As cheap as gas is you might just go with a V10

The 6.4 is a Plague In The Box .
6.7 is good but very $$$$$$. Plus the maintenance cost will not
be cheap. Will this be a DD or only used every now and then?
The 6.0 does not like to sit and rot.
