Thanks Dwayne... always a PLEASURE to read your kind posts without all the hate/passive aggressive/vitriol/jealousy that many of the others proffer. You always have nice way of showing your intelligence and wisdom rather than trying to ram it down our thoughts.

Regular cabs are hard to find, they stopped making them about 10 years ago. The Access cab doesn't have enough room to seat an adult in the back, or even a full grown teenager, but does provide some storage. If nothing else it gives more room to adjust or recline seats. The Access cabs come with 6' beds, most 4 door Crew Cabs only have a 5' bed if that is important to you.

I bought my 07 new and have never been handicapped with the 5' bed. You can't haul much even in a 6' bed so for anything big I have a 6X10 utility trailer. They are less common, but they do make a few 6' beds with crew cabs. But you end up with a truck that is almost exactly the same overall length as a 1/2 ton crew cab. Which sorta ruins the concept of driving a small truck.

My truck has been great. 233,000 miles and I've done next to nothing. Had to replace an alternator a U-Joint at around 170,000. Toyota reimbursed me for the U-Joint, apologized and told me they would replace any of the others at no cost up to 200,000 miles. Other than normal maintenance I've done nothing else to the truck. There are a few dings and scratches in the body. I've got a little peeling white paint and the drivers seat is well worn. But it still drives like new.

For a small truck fuel mileage may disappoint. My Tacoma is only 1 mpg better than my 2014 F150. I get 17ish for everyday driving. On the road 19-20 mpg is the norm. I've hit 22 on a couple of tanks in ideal conditions.

On paper most of them will tow 6500 lbs. But most of them have payloads in the 1000 to 1200 lb range. Which will realistically limit any towing to closer to 4500 lbs. And even then you can't put much in the truck AND tow.

I use a max load of H1000 & 140gn Accubonds in my Winchester M70 laminated classic 24" bbl. Velocity averages close to 3000fps.

They are smith factory grips. I got this gun used years ago and do not know if they were original ones from factory

Yes the 22LR, 17M2, and 17HMR are generally all more accurate, but I’ll always have at least one 22 magnum for varmints. It does get the neighbors worked up like a centerfire going off and I feel it’s more effective than the smaller rimfires on coyotes and similar sized pests.

None.

You canABSOLUTELY RUIN a duck by overcooking. I love them and will not eat one that is overcooked... Rare/med rare and let REST before consuming... just like good beef.

You're going through scopes like poop through a goose! ...grin... Nothing beats hands on use to evaluate something.

^^^^typically, yes. However, I’d take a coastal LA diver (especially a canvasback) over a TN/MS/OH Valley puddle duck, any day. I know….flies in the face of most of my life duck hunting, but if the divers are eating straight grain for a month or more, maybe that’s it?

Just this...
Neighbor sold her house or took a reverse mortgage...
Can it be bought before she passes?
Anyone have knowledge or experience?

He'd be fun to light firecrackers around.

Yes its crazy. Like i said, where are all the environmental warriors on this? A true disaster worthy of non stop coverage. Nope, its getting burried. Nothing to see here

You're welcome. I hope it works out. CAD to USD is 75% so those Canadian boxes should be around $62 if you can get them shipped to you.

I do get PSA emails and PSA gets some of my money. I often see the same or similar deals from Primary Arms. Both are GTG. Primary Arms has shown just a little bit faster service at times but that may have been due to being closer to home for me.

I know the Rendezvous is in Noxen, PA in August. Has a place and dates for the Fest been determined?

Our son has instructions to do exactly this after I pass on. Load a little bit of my ashes into my favorite rifle and take me hunting one more time. He is instructed to wait on a nice buck, not the first little ol doe that comes by. Told him if he misses, I’m coming back for a little talk…

Sadly, if they had an alternative to oil, or a cure for cancer, the government would kill them for sure

Other than NPR every one of those is from 10 days after it happened. And if you have to google it to find it then yeah, it’s being buried.
