    Truck Flatbed MFG. recommendation?

    Look at http://www.bradfordbuilt.com/ They have great beds and are solid built. A CM bed was about 1200 for the bed. Bradford was about 2K, but far better looking and more usable and stronger features. A model specific wiring harness, mud flaps and mounts for the trailer wiring. Comes with the...

    Western Hauler or Flat Bed

    Recently I got a call while at the doctor's office. Something about my truck (in the home driveway) being in an accident. Huh? Long story short, I had a minivan imbedded in the side of my truck bed. (No injuries). Off to the body shop. But have to ask about a flatbed instead of fixing...

    What's something you've done, 99% of us haven't?

    I treated (as a Chiropractor) Lillian Mueller (former Playmate of the year) and was invited to escort her visiting sister to the Mansion on a New Years Eve. My daughter's babysitter that stood us up one night because she and her boyfriend had last minute company coming into town. Lonnie and...

    What's something you've done, 99% of us haven't?

    A highway patrol Cessna flying very low one late night, next to the highway I was traveling on. I'm guessing he was returning to the field because I didn't get pulled over by a car. The pilot was easy to see as he was close and had an interior light on. He was wagging his finger. I slowed down...

    Interesting Finicum Video

    Sorry but I live in Southern Oregon. It's hard to feel sorry for him or his family. He certainly didn't care about me or the others that they caused a lot of trouble for. Not speaking of law enforcement. But the surrounding citizens. They supposedly were fighting "for" one family. They've left...

    Are you as naked as me ?

    I still have a few 50 round boxes of various brands of .22 with two digit price tags. I still have some large rifle ammo with 3 digit price tags. I recently bought my wife a .380 Glock. That's when I really noticed the price of ammo.

    Crapy Compose pile

    It's called Humanure. Mostly a byproduct of composting toilets. Funny how we can compost all kinds of animal manure for improving soil but humanure is somehow different. There is no contamination possible after composting. Gotta say, it's funny to hear the stories and fears of people who have...

    Battery question

    Are these good deep cycle batteries? Or AGMs? What kind of charger do you have? New chargers with smart tech, may not be able to charge them because they are too far down. Took both out, make sure the good one is charged. Jump them together, let them equalize for 12-24 hours. Now they both...

    wildife friendly fence

    My wife and I watched 27 does, fawns and 3 young bucks down the road from us. Actually, they watched us watching them. Each one, one at a time, they jumped over a standard 3 wire fence. It just didn't even slow them down. Each one stepped up to the fence, quick look around, over they went...

    Ranch Ideas in California

    My first thought is move North. (Born and bred in SF Valley) However, not far from you is Antelope Valley. Palmdale, Lancaster (West of those) try Quartz Hill area. It's been a while but they used to be spacious with good people. Or from the bottom of the Pass (above Tragic Mountain) northward...

    Not political only mathmatical

    A lot of them are also Lobbyists. They go where the money is. That is why they were created.

    Your idea about France

    I just want to say that a new neighbor is from France. Just got here 4 months ago. I've gotten to know him/them quite well. Amazing family and really good people. All I can say is the French citizens are tougher than you think. We couldn't survive with what is happening over there.

    Concealed Carry license

    When I went to the Sheriff's office to get mine as a new resident, a scruffy guy (worker) came in with his weapon on his hip and told the lady behind the glass that his CCP "expired about 4 months ago." She said "No problem" and he was out the door in 3 minutes. I knew I was going to like it here.

    Spring is here, at least temporarily

    Where I live, we've had snow as late as June in the past. Over the last week and for the next 5+ days, rain and snow are expected. Spring hasn't gotten here yet.
