Possum diets
Are they good to eat ??
Yea! My white Dakota is going away this afternoon. Scrap pays $300. Subtract that from the $1800 I paid 11 years ago and it has been a cheap ride.
My Old. Country relatives ate everything... opossum being on the list infrequently. Like most omnivores don't taste very good... I've had it before, but my grandfather could seriously cook wild game
I'll keep the 4 wheeler for another winter unless the frame folds in two. No 4 wheelin' in the woods for that one.
My '98 dakota is one of the best cars i ever owned... base model with v6, it never gave me a single problem other than replacing the battery once with a $39 reman... drove it like 15 years til the brake lines got too rusty and i wasn't gonna change em..
Great truck though
I usually just escort them to the woodline, but I don't have anything for them to really get into. Now if I had a chicken coop... that would change
Raccoons I don't care for
I have 2 96's (until this afternoon) and I once owned a 2000 2 wheeler. All V6's and all good trucks. The bodies and frames go away long before the drive trains wear out.My '98 dakota is one of the best cars i ever owned... base model with v6, it never gave me a single problem other than replacing the battery once with a $39 reman... drove it like 15 years til the brake lines got too rusty and i wasn't gonna change em..
Yeah, mine was the whole underside (michigan salt roads) and above the rear tires/wheel lips which is normal for dodge trucks... the v6 was a great motor, i beat the piss out of it... the clutch wore out before the engine

In for break. Just evened up the weeds around the house (formerly known as 'the lawn')

I wish I had the place and the energy. A 3.9 and the A500 O/D would be sweet in a early A cruiser.
I would do the newer 3.9 or whatever is in my GC... i LOVE that motor... loves to spin, makes great power and if the 8spd trans could work it would be a blast with 4.10's
And still get 25 on the highway!
in my GC at like 5500# i get 27-28mph at 65.... really love the thing, in a old 3200# car that isn't a brick in the wind i would imaging 35ish on the freeway
Dude ... my grass is crispy but the weeds are 10" tall

Probably not enough to make any significant impact on the water table, But we had rain 3-4 times in last week. Grass has got some green in it again! But still nearly dormant, while some of the trumpet vine shoots were well over a foot high. I figure the weeds just suck more and more of the water from the grass as they get more leaves. So keep them low and grass has a better chance...
My lawn/forest is wet, but it is mowed down, 4 acres of oak and hickory, I would say 500 .. soon as it dries I will take advantage of zero dust, mowing when its very dry I wear a mask, ear plugs and glasses.
I hate mowing in a cloud of dust

I pretty much live by the rule of "Whatever God forces out of the ground, I'll cut off at about the 3" mark" Having lived in the desert (CO and AZ) I'm not caught up in the lush-green deal.
The bit of rain we had last week didn't seem to do much. Still powder dry
OK boys... discussions with machine shops... disheartening. Have to do a little soul searching on direction here.
So you live in West Virginia and out in the country? I let things live except some best bugs, drive way gets hit with weed killer and thats it, nothing lush about my yard
