If I needed or wanted a newer truck without going new it would be a GMC. I bought a used 1991 GMC 1500 Serra long bed with 11,000 miles on it and it had a 4.3 liter V-6 with overdrive tranny. I bought the truck in 1998 and for 15 years it had a Bass boat hooked to it 90% of the time and I fished lakes from Lake Fork in Texas to Santee Cooper in South Carolina and every lake in East Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. I had to have 1 Tranny rebuild and my son does that for a living and when he built it he didn't cut any corners and added a shift kit so it would not drag when it shifted. When I got the Jeep Cherokee I have already quit traveling and was fishing local so rather than watching the GMC just sit and waste away I put it up for sale. I cleaned it up and parked it out in front yard with a For Sale sign on it. (A side note, This truck still had the original Timing chain and gears in it) It also had 312,000 miles on it. My mail carrier came by about 30 minutes and saw the truck and came and knocked and she asked me how much I wanted for it and I told her and she gave me a $20 dollar bill if I would hold it till 4PM and I agreed. At 4 sharp her and her husband knocked and he asked if he could drive it and I handed him the keys. When he returned he asked me again the price and I said $2,000.00 firm. He told his wife to go to the bank and get the money. When she returned he handed me the cash and I gave him the paper work and he said he lived in Portland and I told him to use my tags to drive it home. The next day my plate was in my mailbox as his wife put it there. Now that I have told you the history of my GMC I would positively buy another one!!! ( note I would look for a little older model with a 4.3 liter)

If you end up going to Fontana to fish gear up for some very exciting Smallmouth Bass angling for sure. I have a buddy that can walk out his back door and go about 50 feet and throw rocks off the cliff into Lake Fontana. He has invited me down a dozen times and I could never find time to go and Now I have the time and my health won't allow it. Back when I was in the bait business he was a regular customer and we became good friends. If you decide to go to Fontana let me know and I will call him and find out what baits the big Smallmouths are biting on for you.

As far as going armed during the day. If I go out side for any reason including to just sit on my deck and watch H Birds I am armed. Anytime I am in the house I am no further that a few feet away for a weapon. I even got my Marlin 60 /w optics and went out back and went through a full tube of ammo to make sure the scope was still on. I hit 10 out 10 poker chips at 30 yards. I reloaded it and came back in the house and put it on the Rifle Rack. I know a lot of folks snub their nose at a 22lr but I have total confidence in 22lr's.

The only reason I was asking is I have been donating every month for the last 10 years and I would like to know if the funds are going where they are suppose to be going besides some ones pocket. I know they caught a few crooks in the program back years ago and I just want to make sure that is not happening again. If anyone knows a Wounded warrior that is in the program can you find out if they are getting the help they are suppose to be getting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bersaguy

I live in the country in a house and my Daughter and son in law live in a second house 50 feet away and we both have outside and inside dogs and they will warn us of anyone outside day or night. They hear everything and start raising all heck when they do hear something. I have seen videos showing thieves working car door handles and for the most part they seem to like large apartment develops parking areas....JMHO

I have a question? Do we have any members here that are receiving any help here through the WOUNDED WARRIORS FOUNDATION???

Maybe it is because there were not enough people killed and enough outpouring from residents in the city. I think it was because the shooter did not fit the agenda and was a Latino whose parents could not speak English. Also was no mention of a manifesto which he had to have more plans as he had more guns in his car.....JMHO

It sounds like you have gotten some good options to try. There is a product on the market called Sta-Bil and it is a fuel stabilizer and it comes in 3 different grades. 1 for your cars, 1 for your boats and 1 for Diesel. I used it in the Marine Grade for my boat for years and my Jeep to this day. It removes water from the fuel and prevents anymore from forming. That would be my next move if I were you.....JMHO

I have noticed that only a few seemed normal size and the rest were smaller. I had 2 yesterday a couple times on my feeders.

Thanks to all who replied and I guess I will just have to be patient till they get done making babies and they arrive in June.....

Ok I am becoming a little concerned as I had 7 birds for about a week and they were constantly coming and going to the feeders. All at once I'm down to 3 regulars including the Black one but lost 4 and not gaining any new birds. Is anyone else gaining any new birds. Post how many your seeing please!

Have they reported what kind of weapon he was using. When I saw him pacing in the video it did not look like a long gun??

I was taught how to apply a tourniquet back in my time in the boy scouts. It is not that hard to do if you can find a strap of any kind and a stick.

At that time I don't think he was thinking much of anything except the pain he was experiencing....JMHO

You may be right but the news media will keep it alive as long as possible...JMHO

Very brave young man and I hope they put the punk away for a long long time. Now if the Feds don't outlaw Sling Shots the world will be a safer and better place. I don't know what he was using for ammo but it worked. I guess he did a lot of practicing to be that accurate!!!!

The only thing I miss about the old days was when I would turn my computer on I would be greeted with YOU GOT MAIL!!!!

I guess they knew that they could not hide the story but they got rid of the original ones with the true numbers. They are trying to cover up the fact that all the people in attendance was fully vaccinated and boosted and still got sick. The other post I read said Doctor Fauci was now where to be found by any press corps.

I can't find the original link but found this one but the numbers have changed . https://thehill.com/homenews/3984368-cdc-investigating-covid-outbreak-after-its-own-annual-conference/

Well I read today that the Center for Disease Control had a convention with about 2,000 fully vaccinated including boosters and 72 hours later about 1,000 were getting sick with Covid and it spread through out the hotel that held the Convention and the Conference has been declared a Super Spreader. I will try and find the link I read it in.

Prayers for you and your Family !!!!

I talk to my daughter almost everyday and my son as often as I can but he is always busy working but there is never a conversation that does not end with an " I love you!!!!" Sometimes when I have not heard from my son I just send him a text that says I LOVE YOU SON!!

I'm fond of Bersa pistols and own several different models. My old shooting partner that passed away a few years back said one day that I was Bersa guy while we were at the range and it stuck and all I did was remove the space and it became Bersaguy !

I agree with you Fox! They are flocking to Blue states By bus loads and Airplanes due to Governors in states thinking it will help their state!!! That does nothing but turn what may be a Red vote to a Blue vote

I agree that many did vote conservative but it would not have made a difference if 15 million voted for Trump. The fix was in and Biden was going to win.
