    I'd like them to be, but our government doesn't like them. I don't like riding my bike behind the older, even 5-6 model years or so. They stink, and tuners make them stink even more. I don't even like driving my car behind the smelly ones.


    The clean ones, no issues be it, car, truck, vw, Audi, Ford, Chevy, dodge, Mercedes. Whatever.

    The other issues is the price difference vs payoff. Some cars it's not such a bad difference, but the eco diesel ram or grand Cherokee is like 5-6k more, and performance is no better than a 2.7 ecoboost v6 f150 in a tow performance test with a similarly equipped ecodiesel ram. The f150 actually out towed the ram, albeit at a slightly lower mpg rating than the ram. It's take many years of towing heavy stuff to get that back.

    That's just one example. I'd buy a vw gtd if they made it. Performance diesel gti.

    Cool. The blog says summer time. Personally, I like ice coffee year round. Have you tried their coffee? The area code for the company is out of Georgia. Other than that, they don't mention where they are from.

    Also, I mistakenly picked up table cream instead of 1/2 &1/2 a year or so ago. Best mistake ever, LOVE it in my coffee!!

    I have not tried the coffee though I may try it with my own grocery store brand. It came to me via email, but remembered your post :)

    I just grabbed a bunch of dark gray flooring slate from a demo project. I have a few ideas kicking around on what I am going to do with it.

    :yes:

    Line the path to your wood fired oven?

    Someone here has a granite fire pit that his father found. Was it Smokinpiney ?

    Ha, no slate pathway. I did use pieces of an old concrete walkway going to the oven. I have three ideas so far. I'll put them up when I make them.

    Grabbed the old rustbucket (f-150) and headed out too the woods to pick up some firewood. Got a nice load of dry...DRY maple. It will be ready for this winter! But the truck is really getting tired in the rust department. Even though it was a thrill finding the wood, I think I'm going to have to do something about the rustbucket....
