OK here is something about price gouging I always wondered about say you have a gas station and had a full tank of gas in the ground and the price goes up just for ease say $1 a gallon, so you are able to jack up the gas you bought for less by that amount even though you paid yesterdays price for it? Just to me seems unfair. But if joe across the street got a delivery 1 more and added extra .5 to it so it is say 1.50 thats price gouging!

Depends on the state regs. In NJ no. Penna I don't know.

Typical paint issue but it looks like a nice truck. Not many black ones. I have only seen red ones.

One dent on it self inflicted. Not a biggie on the side of the bed can be easily hammered smooth by a guy that knows how to do it not me! You can see it under and forward of the gas door.

It is fast as it is look at the specks. Freaking tires now are almost 10" wide. 255/55/17. Thank god it has a overdrive switch.

they do screem ! There is a lady that races one at George Rays that has a good tune and open headers that run big 7es, 7.80 ..8th mile

I always liked those years of Dakota.

I like the older square bodies, pull the 318 and stab a 360 in its place, long box and soft rear springs for weight transfer! I had one with the 318 magnum and loved it.

Any of you guys pump gas in the last gas shortage like I did? That was interesting. See the same people every day with a different plate and the invention of this!

There's one of those in my '67 Barracuda.

 

[halifaxhops]

Think the 64 has one also.

scuff it down, prep wipe and shoot it with clear. Done it.

Hood and roof is totally down to primer. Need paint.

Took a tour of the damage path this morning. That’s multiple irrigation systems twisted and laid over. My grandmothers half brother’s house is the big green roofed house with the white tractor barns that got hit.

More

 

[halifaxhops]

Cant like that!

 

[dukeboy440]

Last ones

 

[toolmanmike]

Cant like that!

Agreed. We need a "that sucks" button.

We had 70-80 mph winds go through here in December and do the same thing to several outbuildings and houses.

 

[dukeboy440]

Those white square things... those are 250 gallons full of round up concentrate

 

[halifaxhops]

Agreed. We need a "that sucks" button.

Well we do have a report button! See

In not sure if that’s gonna end up being straightlines winds or a small twister . The damage paths and debris fields are kind of back and forth. Damage is on different sides of structures, trees leaning in different directions, light poles twisted off and some just snapped off . The irrigation systems most are twisted but a couple just tipped over. There’s some earth scouring but not a lot. The damage isn’t straight either. So they may rule it as both.

If this ends up being a twister, it’ll be the 4th time that area has taken a twister up the guy. It took a big f4 in the 1970s, took out uncle Mike’s house then, his brother lives next door, took out his house in the early 1990s and they lived in a barn for 2 years while they rebuilt it. And then about 10-15 years ago, another took the roofs off both houses and destroyed the barn Steve had lived in.

 

[halifaxhops]

I am sure insurance covers that right?

 

[dukeboy440]

I am sure insurance covers that right?

Should yeah. Houses for sure will be. It’ll be if the farmers who’s barns were destroyed had them old barns insured and for how much. Farm insurance on barns is weird, some do agreed value, some do appraised and some do reconstruction value

That grain bin collapse makes me question a bit of whether I should pursue the grain bin garage idea. Granted those things as is are giant vacuum canisters in the wind by design. So sealing up and reinforcing should solve that

 

[zkx14]

Wow ! Hummm. So it runs off of diesel? I need to learn more..

Don’t think there is any diff between diesel and #2 heating oil. Not sure which name he ordered it under but father in law used same for heating house and running equipment.

Eh I’ve gotta go with the wife on this one.

So I got 1100 lettuce seeds for .99 cents. Shipped.

assume just a 50 percent production. That’s 550 heads of lettuce. For just .99 cents. All I have to do is plant it and water it. Which is free. So to me, it just makes economic sense.

What do you do with all that lettuce?

 

[dukeboy440]

What do you do with all that lettuce?

Lol I should specify I’m not planting it all at once.

I have built a small lettuce box. Holds enough for 6-8 heads of lettuce. Lettuce grows really fast. So I’ll stagger my seed starting and replanting to where there’s always 1-2 ready to harvest when the next seed is sprouting.
