    Blood from a turnip lol

    This is how they chose to find the teacher salary raises last year. But by my estimation this should raise way more than that required. Anyway, not sure why they didn’t just call it an education tax and smack it on your state taxes.

    Youth shotgun recommendations

    Mossberg has a youth model pump that comes with three different butt pieces to allow the shotgun to extend as they grow. Thats the direction I will go when my kids start shootings birds.

    Rrrrrattle Rattle

    Yeah, it’s just something you have to deal with here. It’s pretty unlikely that you will have any trouble. I run into the black ones in the canyon bottoms where I hunt coues. Those suckers can be pretty aggressive and I have actually run into a few of them in close proximity before. Hearing multiple buzz all around you is a real trip. But all it took was walking away to fix the situation. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time in the desert during the summer. I killed all of them I saw and in 3 months killed 13. Never really had any trouble with them that I didn’t start.

    Backing out of driveway

    My dad’s got lots of those stories. He grew up in Mammoth during the 60’s, Bears were more common visitors than the mailman.

    Canada Bear hunt

    Holy heck guys. Seems like this conversation has covered it all. Bob drunk posts and now he is good for nothing and washed up. Let’s lighten up a bit ok. Can we give Mike his thread back now?

    ISO Southeast Valley Mechanic to Install Leveling Kit

    Hit up CT Racing Raptor. He did my last one and will likely do my next. Actually we may be able to get a group rate.

    New 1/2 Ton - What would you pick?

    Try 75-95. Holy cow, this thing just hauls butt. Too much so. Got pulled over twice on the drive home from Washington.

    Kinda crazy to think of it, but the Chevy Silverado is a pretty distant 4th when it comes to half ton trucks.

    New 1/2 Ton - What would you pick?

    Just landed in Spokane. Headed out to look at an F-150 that meets all the criteria tomorrow AM. Hoping for a long drive home instead of a flight.

    UofA seriously?

    I’m an ASU fan and work on the campus. I promise this kind of bass ackwards thinking is not limited to Nogales Tech.

    Flooring installation question

    If you didn’t tear out the tile would you just run the vinyl up to the base board? That’s going to be funky.

    Bad butt, but definitely out of my price range. They want $10k over invoice for those. That’s a non starter.

    New 1/2 Ton - What would you pick?

    EPA estimates are about 3 mpg delta in favor of the ED.

    New 1/2 Ton - What would you pick?

    Those 3.73’s are really hard to find. But with max tow pack you get 3.55 and the locking rear.

    New 1/2 Ton - What would you pick?

    I am not familiar with 5.0 head issues. Are you referring to the cylinder wall distortion? I think that was prior to the coyote remake of the 5.0. I will say that we drove an 18 5.0 one day and man let me tell you, that motor is a far cry from my granddaddy’s 302. It doesn’t compete with the 3.5 on the low end but that V8 sings and at 395 hp it’s far superior to most of the old V8’s.

    New 1/2 Ton - What would you pick?

    About the same price and 50 fewer ft/lbs of torque than the 3.5L. That and there isn’t nearly the same history with the Diesel than the Boost. Cool idea, I hope they keep it rolling and it develops into a nice mid-range tow machine.
