    Making banana bread tomorrow. Yum, plus I'd like to add fiber.

    I have raisin bran and wheat flour. That said asking for raisin bran (nobody carrys wheat bran here o_O ) though I'd make some bran muffins for them.

    I have dates, would those taste good in either or both? Also old raisins (I'll soak them a bit). OMG they are chocolate hounds, so every bag of chocolate chips I ask for is eaten before I get tho use them. But the last one has 1/3 left.

    I just don't want to get too bran or too wheat where they won't eat more the next day. Think sub half the flour with wheat flour or raisin bran or, suggestions?

    That's more like the mileage you expect on a 20 year old white van.

    Purchased in 2006 with 26k and sold in 2018 with 302k. I transmission (200k) with second under warranty (260k). Only standard tune-up work on motor. About 1-quart oil every 3,000. Still kind of miss it.

    My bran muffin recipe has 1 c of flour and 1 1/2 c of bran. I would use the dates, just chop them up small. You will have to tell us how they turned out.

    Not too bad. They're useful vehicles.

    No doubt. Up until this job I wasn't a believer. 16ft long stuff "fits" with the rear doors bungied shut. Iirr not even 2 feet hang out. 12 footers fit no problem. 4ft sheets of plywood stand up. Can fit narrower, long pallets.

    Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure. Can't say I've carried 14' stuff in there. Pretty sure flexible 16' stuff fits with the doors closed when the one end can twist into the pass floorboard. Obviously with no divider between pass and cargo areas.

    Haha, I used to carry vinyl soffit and stuff in my tiny hatchbacks, poked into the passenger floorboard. Still had a few feet hanging out through the tailgate, but honestly felt more secure than in a shortbed truck.

    I used to have a 32' extension ladder that would fit between the seats with the doors closed. Stinks that someone else like the ladder too.

    My wife did that song and dance for a number of years until she had both her knees replaced.

    I used a raisin bran cereal banana bread recipe, out of the oven on cooling rack. Bananas were very ripe and sweet and house smell delicious! I'll let you know when they get home:)
