    Same down this way too. Saw $2.97 the other day. Well, we had it good for a while.

    Have you tried a chiropractor for this? Whenever I get sciatic pain from doing something wrong, a couple of treatments from a chiropractor and it disappears.

    How about $5.51 for a US gal of fuel? Ours just went up dramatically this past week.

    Finally getting a chance to hang in the garage since I got myself a 70” hand me down. That’s my bullchit for the evening. KFP and my 395 mounted up on the mill. 04D5FC28-FDF6-49E6-B190-032087F44151.jpeg

    I don't doubt it, but 5K was worth more back then. Almost 10K in today's money apparently, I had to look it up out of curiosity.
    Of course, a new version of that truck now would cost even more than that, but that's another conversation :BrianK:

    My Dad, 52, can remember buying a bar, drink, and bag of chips for a quarter as a kid......what can you buy at a corner store now for a quarter? Be lucky if you can get one of those little clear bags of candy they do up. Probably not even that. :BrianK:

    You are lucky, for sure! For me, the chiropractor did not work after trying three different approaches/techniques.

    Acupuncture? Nope, didn't help either.

    PT? Seems to be the most beneficial for me.

    Next step are injections and then operations. :headbang:

    I think tree killer is having a little fun with you TrinitySouth99 :D

    The new price for that truck was closer to 15K back then.

    According to the site I just looked up, msrp was between 8K and 14K depending on configuration. Still, you'd pay a lot more now even after adjusting for the value of the dollar.

    They claim they're charging more because they've put this, that and the other thing in the truck, well don't want that stuff. I want a cheap, base model truck with no bells and whistles :headbang:

    Its always been manageable in the past, so I've never seen anyone about it.

    Sleepy Cove, Twillingate Islands, NL.

    apparently a copper company operated there until 1920. Strange, but in a good way, to see a comparison where there are buildings in the Before shot, but not the after.

    I've read that there's mine exploration going on in the interior of Newfoundland, how do people feel about new mines?
