    Just can't get a good basic truck, like the old days!

    As far as I know it has the CP-4 pump. My first diesel was a new '82 GMC with the 6.2 diesel. 130hp and 250tq. Not a good engine, blown head gaskets and cracked heads. Traded for a new '85 F-350 with a 6.9 diesel, I think it was 135 hp and 325 tq. The diesels I had didn't start making decent...

    Just can't get a good basic truck, like the old days!

    I currently have a '22 Ford F-450 King Ranch pickup with the 6.7 diesel engine. I'll probably keep it until the extended warranty runs out, so far it's been a great truck. I'm not sure I want to keep it past the warranty period. I'm really thinking about an F-350 regular cab dually in XLT trim...

    2022 Bronco sport review

    I bought a '25 Badlands in May, one of my bucket list items. We've had many Broncos over the years, '67, '74,'78, '88 and '92. So far I'm very satisfied with the '25.

    1989 Ford f super duty (f450)

    We had a new '88 F-Super Duty with a 7.3 diesel and 5 speed manual. Had a 5.13 axle ratio. Good truck, low on power. I believe with the 460 they came with a 4.88 axle ratio.

    2010

    I couldn't remember whether it was the 1010 or 2010 that had a bad reputation. I'm not going to buy it.

    2010

    I think I'll pass on this tractor. Repairs may be simple or could be the hydraulic pump.

    2010

    I looked at a gas 2010 this morning. It's been listed on Facebook for several months but I just now saw it. Sheetmetal, hood and fenders are in very good condition. One fairly new rear tire, front tires are new, has the original seat. Talked to the owner by phone and he said the tractor runs but...

    Cataracts and other visual concerns!

    If you think it's clear now wait a few weeks.

    Getting our new puppy today

    Bought my second Border Collie over the weekend. 16 weeks old, female. Super sweet, we will be training her for agility and obedience but mainly a pet. We have a five year old neutered male that is the most gentle dog we've ever had. He takes the puppy in stride. Hard to get her to stand still...

    Cataracts and other visual concerns!

    You need to get it done, it's like having High Definition vision. Takes a few weeks to get the full effect but you'll be surprised at how clear everything is.

    Cataracts and other visual concerns!

    Had a follow up check earlier this week. 20/20 distance and near vision. I'm still amazed how clear everything is.

    Cataracts and other visual concerns!

    Got it done, no problems. Vision is blurry but starting to improve. They give you enough anesthesia to keep you settled down but not out completely. I was aware they were working on me but didn't care.

    Cataracts and other visual concerns!

    Heading in today to get my left eye done. Right eye has 20/25 as of last week, near vision not quite as good as I'd like but may get better.

    Cataracts and other visual concerns!

    My eye is rapidly improving. Distance vision is good, near vision is getting better. Went for my follow up appointment this morning with the doctor and everything checks out good. I have another appointment next week to see if the surgery for the following week is still on.

    Cataracts and other visual concerns!

    Yes, along with antibiotic drops. Right eye is a little sore, numbing drops have worn off now. I will be using antibiotic drops three times a day for a week and prednisone drops three times a day for a month. Vision clouded up but is clearing now. I go back for follow-up in the morning. Week...
