yep ... that jives with what my buddies report getting towing something like a trailer with wheelers (maybe 4000 lbs). Day to day unloaded commute combined city hwy they're topping out in the 14mpg range.

 

They were towing a 5600 lb trailer as a base line.

The sweet release baby. Haven't you gotten the memo?

My '89 f250 had 37.2 between the 2 tanks. It took both to go from Portland to Seattle and back. That's about 360 miles.

 

Well I am out You all play nice .

me too

 

@Cypherian I was looking for an address earlier
and laughed when I saw this page:

 

Late evening everyone

Just got back down the hill from Hesperia a few minutes ago from my friends house . Got a home cooked dinner and got to watch the NASCAR race . My friends house will only be maybe a mile from my new place which is nice

Now for the fun experience on the way up the hill and just getting onto the freeway I was run off the road practically by a semi truck that didn't want to merge into the other lane or slow down and was forced onto a narrow shoulder

 

Glad you're still with us Brother.

 

There you are.

 

Ugh. I'm so tired. Don't want to do anything but need to get groceries when store opens.

 

Other than groceries, I hope you afford a day of rest. You've busted your @ss ever since you got home for the weekend.

 

I've been busting it since I saw coons get into moms attic. Had she moved in within the past 10 years she would've heard them partying in the attic. Bringing home slutty possums and squirrels.

 

But yea I don't plan on doing anything else.

 

Glad ya safe chuck. I see all to often on IH 35. 18 wheelers won't give an inch. They're always in fast lane screwin v up flow when signs are posted no commercial trucks in left lane

 

sig worthy

"Slutty possums and squirrels" ...

Break break ... I just caught end of race (ran out of patience during rain delay) ... kind of cool to see Childress' grandson Austin Dillon bring the 3 Car to Victory Lane.

EDIT: oddly nostalgic

 

Morning all
Eternal peace to all that gave everything so I can have the chance to have everything.

Talking about truck designs and campers ehhh ?

They haven't made a good looking vehicle in decades. Any make or manufacturer looks like shit.

My boy is thinking of selling his camper. Like a 29 foot something in a campground. Their lives have changed so no real free time anymore that would warrant spending all that money to keep it.
I told him a small used, old, dumpy 14 footer would be great cause if it sat in the backyard and went out twice a year for the weekend it wouldn't hurt to see it just sit when paying thousands for site and maint fees that you sleep overnight 5 or 6 times.

I forgot to add last night during my fishing trip I broke a rod.. Lol new aluminum/ graphite etc Rod.
Got it caught between deck and tie off and lifted ever so slightly. Done that 100 times. Move it and picked it up and it folded in half.
Old style rods can handle that no problem. New ones not so much I guess. So I heaved it and pulled out one of my 200 spares. Lol
Very dirty with floating leaves, pine needles, pollen, trashed my boat.
So I'll vacuume it this morning.
Going to mow the lawn I guess.
Then going to take my buddy out in his new boat and teach him how to trim on plane etc because if he doesn't know what's happening he'll toss everyone out of the boat.
Should be interesting.
Might bring the truck rod JUST IN CASE.....

Hope everyone gets to do what they want to do or need to do today.

Oh yea.
OIL IS OIL.

Go.................
