What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

That’s a Woops

 

Small cruise ship stopped in the tiny, isolated village of Francois, which is only accessible by watercraft or aircraft (unless you don't mind bushwhacking for dozens of miles).

This cruise circumnavigates the island of Newfoundland, and also visits Greenland and other such destinations. I'd love to go on a voyage sometime.

 

The trees next to the pile are about 10’ tall.

I resplit a cord today knowing nothing will get done until Wednesday while I head to my youngest daughter for her wedding

the splitting pile is getting much smaller

 

Lucky might be much bigger, but Mr.Murphy holds his own in an altercation.

 

Did my least favorite woodworking task this morning...installing full extension drawer slides. 3/4 went fine and one kicked my butt getting the drawer to close evenly. Seems like that's how it always goes. Only 3 left to do later this evening.

 

Enjoy the present
by Pastor Matt Ewart


“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”—Andy Bernard, The Office



The great irony of life is that most of our thoughts are directed toward things from the past or things in the future. It is almost unnatural to pause and live in the present. And it comes at a cost.



Dwelling too much on the past will either fill you with regret over the way things turned out, or it will fill you with lament that the good times are past.



Dwelling too much on the future will either fill you with anxiety over all the things you can’t control, or it will fill you with false security over all the things you think you control.



If any Christian ever wrestled with regrets over the past or anxiety over the future, it should have been the apostle Paul. But he found the secret to living in the present, and he was kind enough to share it with all of us: “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation” (Philippians 4:12).



Being content in the present creates a peace that no event from your past can take way. Finding contentment in the present makes you resilient to all the anxiety about whatever’s in the future.



Contentment begins when you believe that God has forgiven your past and he has a purpose for your future. Take some time today to enjoy the present.

 

Got a new truck. 2024 F-250 XL SC/SB 4x4, 6.8L v8, 10 spd., 3.73 E-Locker. Gonna put my 8.5' Fisher Xtreme V plow on it for this coming season and get a new one before next season. Not sure if I'm gonna go with a 8.5' VX2 or a 8' HDX. Really liking it so far.

 

I’m curious what the payload is on that truck and what does it weigh?.

and nice ride BTW.

 

Capacity of 4268 by the chart...and 14800 towing...5995 curb weight.

 

Congrats NYH1 !!!

Nice!

 

Nice truck! Will it fit in your garage?

 

I’m curious about the door stickers and what does it actually scale.

I got rid of my ram 2500 Cummins because it was heavy (7900lbs). It was a bigger truck than I needed anymore.

the 2020 F150 was close in payload to the Cummins but still less than it. Was 5700 lbs.

since the 2020 was out of payload with our camper, I didn’t want to go back in size to the 250/2500 class vehicles, …

I ordered the 2023 F150 which actually has a higher payload than the Ram 2500 did.





I haven’t had a chance to chat with anyone yet to see how an actual F250 gasser would have compared.


Did I give up too much pickup?

At 20ish mpg, is this 5.0 coyote engine worth it for the amount of towing I do vs being a grocery getter.?

 

That's pretty light. I have an 09 2WD that weighs about 5300.

 

My '03 250 is 6800 (4x4, S/C, 8') guess that's the difference between the steel and the alumibody

 

According to Ford;

GVWR 10,000 lbs.
Max payload 3,546 lbs.
Front GAWR 5,990 lbs.
Rear GAWR 6,340 lbs.
Max ACR, 1,684 lbs.

Base Curb Weights;
Front 3,757, Rear 2,658, Total 6,415.

Conventional Towing;
14,100 lbs.

5th Wheel/gooseneck Towing;
13,900/14,000 lbs.

NYH1.

 

Yeah, our pole barn is 30'x40' with two 9' and one 10' doors.

NYH1.

 

Finished the office furniture this morning. Can't wait to get it out of the shop.
