#68 celticbomber...

Great post and story...

I used to hunt and trout fish ( at my grandfather's and uncle's cabin)in Bradford county ( not Bradford city) all through my youth...near TRoy ?? I think...on top of a mountain that had swamps then at the bottom was an old railway bed turned into a road with a trout stream next to it...

During deer season " it was nothing" to count 65-120 deer on the first day coming up the mountain(from the farmland below) headed up to hide in the thick swamp brush all day then back down at dusk...

At our cabin is in central pa..(from 5yrs old to 16 yrs old).we used to fish for native Brook trout all the time...we would cut off the Barb's and use bugs or worms with super long bamboo flyrods...it was so much fun, we always released them because they were only

3"-7" ...under the limit ...

How do the deer know? I think they lied about being color blind... a bunch of guys show up in bright orange and they head for the hills. I always wondered if they knew because of all the cars and trucks that would show up a few days before opening day. We'd shake the apple tree's and a horde would come off the mountain at dusk and eat all around us while we sat there with a few beers. Opening day, nothing, nada, even the squirrels slept in. The only time I ever saw wild beaver (have fun with that one) was up there. I love this state. I'm not a beach guy, I love the mountains and hiking through woods. Pennsylvania has all that in spades. I only have to drive 5 minutes away to see tons of deer, wild turkeys and the animals that live in the inner city if I go in the other direction!

Back to work.

Almost there.

Philipino nurse asked me last night "Got your eyes on that fishing line?" I told her I don't really fish, and it's cold out, just planning on doing anything except coming to work.

...she was saying "finishing line" like it's the end of a work stretch. 😰

hey danm...MACS had a diesel truck...pulled his boat uphill like it was nothing...think it got something like 15/mpg while towing and 17 mpg overall...

is diesel readily available in your neck of the woods?

I want a diesel. But I'm not sure I can handle the cost. Even used, gotta be looking in upper 40's/low 50's for a newer one. The cost argument is the only thing I have against a diesel. Would take a long time to break even on the 10-12k premium a diesel costs.

A gas HD will do the job, but it's a little more stressful and uses more fuel.

Buddy bought a 10 year old F350 diesel. Ran like a warrior until someone stole it. If you are going to tow heavy weight, you need to bite the bullet and get diesel.

Okay... just searched a RAM 2500. The Diesel is a $9,100 option. Still... $61k for a 2500 Laramie is pretty damn good.

I'd imagine a 2 year old truck could be had for $40-45k.

That's a nice freakin' truck.

That is a nice truck.

I don't know that I'm willing to go with Ram though.

Well see. I'm just dreaming right now. I don't think I can go much over 30k.

Snow ending, rain starting - appropriate for National umbrella day. For Opie, he can celebrate NATIONAL CREAM CHEESE BROWNIE DAY. As for the rest of us it's not Festavus, but rather NATIONAL CLEAN OUT YOUR COMPUTER DAY.
