Something you want but can’t get or afford.

It’s rare not to see a ram onlife support do to cancer in Indiana.

Now my 2014 F 150 doesn’t have any rust at all and that’s the year before Ford went aluminum. And as far as I’m concerned, the 5.0 has been almost faultless, the worst thing, the ford dealer charged a small fortune for Spark plugs at 130,000 miles, a tad over $400
The Ford gas engines are fine. I was specifically criticizing the powerstrokes after 7.3.

One would be fun, but I have to assume that maintenance on one would be terrible because they sure put up a huge cloud of dust as they work, and of course you would want an air-conditioned cab so you’d be cleaning out the air conditioning every five minutes it would seem to me!
And I’ve only seen them operate in Indiana. I’d hate to see them in a really dry climate.
The only time we're dry is July and August. The state contracts out with a company to clear brush and scrub back along the sides of the interstates as well as any and all exits.

The company is pretty much exclusively using forestry munchers on a couple track hoe's.

So I've witnessed them quite often.

When I started this thread I was thinking material things but not necessarily expensive things either.



Funny I was thinking of a Monet when I started this thread also. I’d be happy with one. We’ve got three of his over our bed, they are cheap prints though. I’ve seen one in person at the Biltmore. The one on the right is a Monet, I’m not sure about the one on the left.

The truth is I’ve also got everything I need. This is out my back window a few weeks ago.
15' from my bedroom window a few nights ago. We've got 4-5 does every night/day, but this is first buck I've seen in years. No doubt the does will be dropping twins this spring.

Yeah, I get it. I go to museums and look at the art and I just don't get it. Then I see something that affects me deeply. Can't explain it. I hafta be satisfied with prints. Not just paintings either, but all kinds of art. It's weird how something can just grab you.

Flaming June by Sir Fredrich Leighton. Wouldn't have to be an original. A good, counterfiet would be ok with me. And, Yes I'm partial to buxom redheads.
