Our son and his wife both have cancer, he told me they were getting behind on their medical bills and he was putting them on a credit card thinking he could keep up with it but he couldn’t, we gave him $26,000 to pay the credit card told him he could have it, but he paid us back in about 2...

Who pays the rest?

People that have trailers usually don’t rent U-Haul trailers, though unless you want a one-way trailer to take across a couple states and not bring it back

There were no ashtrays, they threw everything on the floor, food scraps, cigarettes, chew spit, everything. Dirty pigs. And, the foreman was coming in late and leaving early and drinking on the job. I can over look some things but you treat me like crap and try to bully me by telling me your...

Did you buy the king kutter professional? I see running’s has them for that price also. If you did, what do you think of it?

When I was an apprentice sprinkler fitter the foreman told me to go clean the break area, pick up the cigarette butts and the food scraps on the floor, I told him that is not my job because I didn’t and wouldn’t throw trash on the floor. He said later that day our superintendent was coming to...

I think my 2002 S10 has one also. 1000 hours would be better.

I didn’t think anyone used ashtrays in cars anymore? Should it be free?

It happens. https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/boat-catches-fire-in-prescott-wis/

You’ll show them won’t you!

I agree. I don’t ever go to walmart but our little grocery store has self checkout, I’m way quicker than many of them because I want to get out of there and I was running a cash register at my second job about 47 years ago. 45 minutes doing what? I’m usually the only one at the self checkout...

Why would you use friends and family with someone you have never met?

Why?

We are smoking about 30 lbs Friday morning, only ours will be Pork Belly Burnt Ends.

I still like my Honda’s, 5607 on my EU6500is when the inverter went out on it last December, bought it February of 2012. Replaced it with a EU7000is.

My wife has a handicap placard because she has a triple heart bypass and still needs more work. We are not on a limited income.

Not sure I have ever seen gas at a walmart So you never travel? Or just 150 miles so you can make it home to charge?

I have turned signals that I installed on my Can-Am defender, but most people don’t and we don’t need them here in Minnesota

On our fifth can am defender, I think they are comfortable. Almost 6000 on my defender, many of those off road on trail rides, still the original belt.

30 more years to work and you are 42?

Can be. Luckily, being injured and work comp for a year and not a hiccup the whole time.

Our son and his wife both have cancer, 2-1/2 years ago we gave him $26,000.00 cash to pay some medical bills, told him they don’t have to pay us back, he said absolutely not, he has paid us monthly, yesterday he stopped on the way home from work and gave us $1000 cash and said “I should have the...

That is how our neighbors are also, we are the oldest but we are outside all the time, even in the winter. One neighbor does construction and was in Alabama for about 10 months about 2 years ago, but his wife was home, I mowed his yard with his zero turn 3 times and plowed the snow in his...

Sounds like having a wife.

I used to have plantar fascia problems, not in my work boots but in my other shoes. I switched to these shoes about 8 years ago and have not had a problem with it since then. They are almost like walking barefoot...

February 11th, 2016 I slipped on ice at work and broke my wrist bad enough to get surgery a week later to put in a plate and a dozen screws and I tore my rotator cuff, I was on light duty until January 31st, 3027. I worked construction, they always want construction jobs to have no loss of...

I told him that. He is different, I asked him if he wanted to go watch Sno-Cross racing, he said, why go watch what I can do better.

According to one neighbor, farmers just sit around cashing checks from the government. I watch Sonne Farms, Millennial Farmer and Larson Farms oh and also Welker Farms, seems like they all work very hard especially Sonne Farms because they have cattle and crop’s. The other three are just crops...

So he has no money to lose then, just time invested.

We have all kinds of stray cats that come through our yard. Our security cameras never see them catching mice but when we do catch a mouse in a trap outside, my wife leaves it lay there. The cats will eat it.

In the stall in the left, with the side by side.

OK, didn’t know that because I’m not interested in buying one, but I like cars, or basically anything with the motor so while we are driving, I’m always looking at vehicles

We are at Austin for about a week, I can’t believe the amount of Teslas we see here in Austin.

I buy what I like to drive, don’t care what anyone thinks about it. I am not sure if I know anyone that purchased for a status symbol. I live in a rural area, most of us use our trucks as a truck.

Not all of them, our bed is full and a trailer is connected 90% of the time.

Almost like a normal bed nowadays.

What is SBQC?

I agree.

We make a lot of pork belly burnt ends in our food trailer, we get the pork bellies from Costco business and they’re usually between five and 6 pounds

Did you cut one in 1/3’s or do you find them that small?

You do know I was joking don’t you?

As far as I know it has to be in a box. Unless this will work?

Just for coming on to my property?

Might as well just put black tape on the sensor to have them on all the time then. Instead of a glove on the dash.

It doesn’t have to. Because I turned the headlights on in the fog, then it ding ding ding when I got home to remind me to turn them off, when I turn the lights off the switch sits at auto so they come back on the next time if it is dark

I know they will shut off then with a glove over them but I just turn them on, last week everyday was foggy so I turned them on everything I left the house. Mine makes a ding ding ding when I leave them on then I turn them off.

instead of a glove on the sensor, why not just turn the headlights on? It works on my chevy

Why would you shoot people on the neighbors property?

Same one here. About 3 years so far, shared a couple videos with cops a couple times.

What is “that time of year”? November 14th?

I have a story of not price gouging, I bought a EU6500is generator for our food truck March 9th 2012 for $3649.00 plus tax A week ago today or about 12 years and 8 months later with 5203 hours on the meter the generator broke. I called a Honda dealer about 1/2 hour away and a new EU7000 is...

So did mine, a guy bought my tractor new from the dealer and had a block heater installed, when he came to pickup tractor he decided it was to small so he traded it in, when I wanted a tractor I was going to buy it but when he showed me the price he had a block heater in it, I told him I keep it...

I forget that there is a guy about 5 miles from me that has a self contained trailer that he comes to your house and kills and butchers the animal and packages it for you. I know it changed owners about 5 years ago though

I thought they were dying also but there is one opening in January about 12 miles north of me. A couple more have been open for years within a half hour of me. Nice to have choices.

we sell a boat load of pork belly burnt ends on our food trailer each week

For the record, I didn’t even know they would be legal in the USA

I wouldn’t believe that, neither one of my sisters look like our mother.

they had the quadrasteer for awhile on silverado and suburbans. The beneifit is to help steer the vehicle I think. 😏

But many use a 4-post lift for storage, I was just looking into getting one but with my 12’ ceiling, only my tractor would fit under the lift with my S-10 on the lift.

In Minnesota they are still called pole barns, I live in a pole barn house. It was a pole barn first, then a house.

I usually make the letters of the grandkids names when I make pancakes

How is any mushroom beautiful?

I agree with the floor being warm. That is why we have a boiler, or a broiler as the neighbor calls it. 2° this morning and the house floor and garage floor keep it all at 71°

Bike?

Is there a way to see a date on google earth?

40 bags for a slab to put a 2000 lb fireplace on. I don’t know why anyone would mix by hand if you could rent the mud mixer. $75 and 1-1/2 hours from picking it up to returning it.

We did forty 80lb bags in a hour with the mud mixer.

I didn’t read everything but I rented a mud mixer about a month ago to pour a slab to put a heavy outdoor fireplace on. now my slab was about 10 inches thick so what I would do if I did it again would be to rent two mud mixers because we still did 40 bags in an hour, but it started drying a...

We have an $8000 dollar limit on our citibank credit card and we run 3-4000 dollars a month on it for our business but we pay it off as soon as the charges clear the card and I have a decent credit score. And, it is our only credit card.

I didn’t realize health insurance was that much. When we retire we can keep our insurance for $500 per month and I had enough in a fund that it paid for my insurance for 17 months after I retired until I had to start paying the $500 and they just take that out of my monthly pension check.

Menards

I’m surprised anyone cares. I thought all the forum members here paid cash for everything.

9mm does

How are you spending 3% on most purchases?

Sounds expensive to get a box of 50 shipped to your house.

a box of 1000 or a box of 50?

I didn’t make this one but it works pretty good, does get tired as it gets older.

Looks like a Magnum.

I am 63 years old and it didn't bother me doing the work, actually easier than the real job I had

Neither, just saying I use 2 of my 3 trucks the way some day trucks should be used. Was not sore at all, the Mud Mixer adds water and mixes the concrete, just dump the bags into it. My third truck is a S-10, it is just a toy for me, a hot rod.

I rented the mud mixer for about $75 for 4 hours, picked it up at 9 when they opened, returned it admit 10:45. The price of the 60lb or 80lb bags don’t matter to me, the pallet of 80lb bags had how many I needed on it so I had them put the pallet in my truck with fork lift

I just hauled 30- 80lb bags of concrete mix home from homedepot on Friday in the one ton truck, poured it all yesterday in a hour with a rented mud mixer.

A list that long and I have only had Hersheys.

When it is cool out side and the air is thinner my spud gun shoots potatoes a couple hundred feet

And I think my spudgun shoots potatoes far, those pumpkin shooters would be fun

There is a guy here in Princeton that has one and they set it up at the fairgrounds, I think next Saturday and throw a bunch of pumpkins.

When I replied the title and the wording in his first post said “2K pallets of pellets”, I took that as 2000 pallets of pellets, but I’m guessing it was edited

2000 pallets? Your main heat source must be expensive then.

What are you doing with 2000 pallets of pellets?

Isn’t the 4 door Colorado about the same size as a full-size two door Silverado?

have you been in a newer pickup? You are not lumbering into town, some are very fast also

You wouldn’t have had today’s diesel though

We looked at a SSR last year, it looked fun, bought this instead. LS3 6.0

My brother-in-law that used to live in Minnesota thinks we are nuts retiring five years ago and stayed here in Minnesota, sure we get some snow, but we like the snow and it typically don’t kill us. He thinks because he and his wife are retired and moved to Florida, everybody should and we’re...

I’m surprised anyone sees his posts to reply to him.

Why argue with these guys? They don’t need trucks and think nobody should have trucks. I have a brother in law that treats me the same as some of these on this forum. He don’t like motorcycles, nobody should have a motorcycle. He is retired and goes to Florida for the winter and says that I...

I guess if I only had to buy gas once a year for my ATV or twice a year for my tractor and only use the utility trailer once a year I wouldn’t even have that stuff. I would just rent it when I needed it.

We have three Chevrolet’s, a 1 ton, a 1/2 ton and a S-10. The one ton is always hooked to a trailer and the bed is full, the 1/2 ton is hitched to a trailer a couple times a month usually to go atv riding. The S-10 is just a hot rod to go get an ice cream cone or drive to a car show.

3 miles north of me there is a oil dump site for free. Anti freeze you pay a little.

When i was on the volunteer Fire Dept we got a call about a man trapped under a car. Back then I believe it was only the steel ramps. That’s what he had and he was pulling on the oil filter so hard he must have not been on the ramps perfect that both ramps tipped over and the car was on him...

Same here but I can also close the windows and turn on the A/C.

Race ramps

Or race ramps

Nice. We have about 5200 miles on our 22 limited 4 door and had about 6500 miles on the 2019 2 door cab model.

My wife don’t even want to test drive one. She don’t care for them and she likes the sound of a V8

don't know who he is but isn't jeopardy a game show? Not gambling.

$1000 would be nice but like I said you can’t use none of them in Minnesota on the ATV/UTV trails. So thousands of us by side-by-sides and ATVs. Maybe we are the only state with that rule.

Didn’t know there was a JL. I have had many CJ7’s, a few TJ’s and one Gladiator. Never a JL though. Some say why not buy a Jeep instead of a side by side but in Minnesota there are many more miles of ATV/UTV trails than Jeep trails.

what is a JL?

Same here, I hate to lose. I can buy a $100 piece off chrome for the motorcycle but can’t give $20 to a casino. My brother in law won a lure over a million dollars on the lottery about 25 years ago, he is 67 and still working.

Just saw this thread. I cool my house with a mini split, don't even have a furnace.

Over 5000 hours on my Honda and it gets the same gas my truck and side by side and garden tractor get.

I wouldn’t mind having a loud generator just for Home back up or something but we have a food truck and I can’t believe the amount of food trucks that have a screaming loud generator, why would you spend anywhere from $30-$60,000 to fill a food trailer or a food truck and fill it with nice...

The bottom picture is also what we call a squirrel

Looks like a chipmunk to me

GMRS also needs a license I believe.

Some of us actually write a check for them We have also, we buy all our meat and supplies for our food truck on our credit card for the cash back and the as soon as it is on the credit card I pay it off with the business account.

Does it matter?

350,000 miles. That is why I have always rode Honda’s. I have put that on a couple Goldwings.

I have plowed a foot of snow with my canam defender. I live in Minnesota, have plowed with an atv or utv since about 2000

Hamilton Beach Upright Freezer, 11 cu ft, White Item 1466477 Model HBFRF1100 Costco Freezer

I have been using the controller for about 20 years that Home Brewers were using to run freezers at the temperatures they want on our commercial upright freezer for our business, we also have another chest freezer for our business. We switched to this for personal use. Easier to see what we...

Who is we?

From what I have seen, the can am commander is the same size as the Polaris general

Sounds kinda like when I joined the Fire Department volunteer Fire Department we had recipe card directions for every house in our area and some of them would say something like go south and rural one until you get to the red barn. Take a left at the red barn until you get to the dead oak tree...

I’ve owned mainly Chevrolet for commuting, I’ve put over 300,000 miles on a couple of them over the years commuting to work an hour each way and both of those needed nothing but front brakes and tires. My brothers wife has a Honda and he said it has been in the shop twice now and she bought it...

Ok. Sorry I misunderstood.

Don’t quote me, I’m not the one that said believe in Jesus Christ

For me, it’s hard to believe in Jesus Christ at times when our two-year-old grandson has to be air ambulance down to the cities for problems with a growth on his throat that’s closing his throat and then when he finally gets better, his dad, our son finds out he has cancer and goes through two...

I keep my history turned off on YouTube so I get no suggestions which is what I like

I would have never sat there 25 minutes unless I heard lots of sirens and assumed there was some big incident going on somewhere

How can you tell they were going 20 mph faster than you were?

I don't remember ever worrying about mileage, I don't ever check mileage. The 1 ton is almost always hooked to our food vending trailer so instead of disconnecting it we would use the 1/2 ton truck

But it sounds like he will not tow any trailer with a half ton, I have a couple heavy trailers that I tow with our one ton, but I have no problem hauling our side-by-side with our half ton

I think he is saying “everyone has their own opinion.” Because I think he is nuts not wanting to tow anything with a 1/2 ton truck. But that is just my opinion. 😏

In Minnesota, most people call a tractor trailer is a semi I don’t have to tow with a 1/2 ton either, I choose to, but I also have a 1 ton duramax to tow our heavy trailer’s

On a Goldwing forum I was on, many of us pulled campers with our Goldwing and many said we were crazy pulling something like that. On some rv forums, some think you have to have a semi to pull a big fifth wheel rv. Even one person in this thread that will not tow with a 1/2 ton pickup because...

I know that but some people say that the truck has to weigh more than what you are towing

Our one ton is hooked to a trailer 95% of the time How can a pickup help anyone’s image? That is why we live in a Barndominium. When guys tell me your truck has to weigh more than the trailer I ask them hope this can be done then.

Like the other other guys have said, John Deere does make a side-by-side with air-conditioning and heat and wipers just like my Can-Am limited

You would think the city people would at least drive into the country now and then. We have a farmer with a couple hundred head of cattle across the highway, they seem to lay down when they want to. Same with the horses a couple blocks down the road.

I didn’t say it was a $80,000 truck to begin with. All I see is a red tailgate and a white cab, can’t even tell what make the truck is.

How can you tell this is a newer looking Ford super duty crew cab in the picture?

My brother said our mothers husband walks around crop dusting most of the day.

How is that truck in the picture and $80,000 truck?

I just hope they are going “straight” home

I have camped in the boundry waters in northern Minnesota where you had to hang your food in a tree. Just remember, you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the person with you

And I’m guessing you sleep comfortably in it?

We pulled a camper with our Goldwing and slept perfect. I don’t know why so many are against camping? Some of us enjoy camping. Pulled this camper about 100,000 miles

Believe it or not, some of us like to camp. Almost impossible to have a campfire at a motel and our bed in our rv is the same bed as our house.

Yes, we had the apartment manager fax the paperwork to the office Depot close to my mom and her husband in Phoenix. Of course they were supposed to take a couple of them to their bank and have the bank fill them out so my mom and her husband could sign them and they had to sign the rest of the...

Yes. I am. But my 85 year old mother who still has an aol email address in Phoenix was not, she would never be able to figure it out, even the fax seemed like witchcraft to her.

To find an income based apartment in Minnesota for my mom and her husband that lived in Arizona we had to fax the paperwork. I don’t know how else we would have did it.

Mine is held on with linchpins, so I have taken it off, used a rubber hammer to straighten it after a branch has hit it. On another story, I was getting truck tires at a tire dealer yesterday and they had a Kubota tractor there with a cab on it and the lower back window, the part that doesn’t...

About $40 to make this for my 2032R. Even saved my hood once already I think.

So if your septic fails when you sell, you’re gonna tell them it’s not your problem?

What is a 5/2 double wide?

I just finished flying my drone and I live I have said in this thread already about 4 miles driving from an airport 3 miles as the crow flies I would guess and I was just probably 300 feet up in the air taking pictures of my house. It warns me and I have to check a box before I can fly that I...

My mini will tell me if it’s too windy to return to home

I agree with you. I have bought my fair share of vehicles from our local Chevy dealership that the wife graduated with the top salesman but this last truck we bought from a different dealer, had it a week and a half and a couple lifters broke, they said from the cylinder deactivate whatever they...

Does yours stop at 400’? My mini will go higher than 400’

That is weird, I live 4 miles driving, from the airport in our town, unmanned but longer runways and I fly my drone up to 400’, then it warns me.

I wonder what “recent” is? I forget about it and fly it maybe every 2-3 months a couple times then forget about it again.

Is that just for bigger one? I have a mini and don’t log into anything

I don’t see drone footage in every YouTube video I watch.

I had this hot dog on Sunday, the bun was excellent

My tractor does not use DEF but does regen

I have a friend with a wood splitter that also that lets me borrow it whenever I needed it, I know he rented a pole saw once to trim branches so when I needed a pole saw, I bought one, now he uses my pole saw whenever he needs it and I use his wood splitter when I need it.

I use my neighbors dump trailer to get a few loads of rock and his will let you chain the tailgate so when you dump it only opens a few inches so you can limit how far it opens. The only thing is the trailer is wider than my bucket, but I don’t get a whole lot on the ground And I have said 5...

My wife got a text a couple weeks ago saying she still owed money for toll roads in Minnesota. There are no toll roads in Minnesota, a few express lanes, but no toll roads.

A buddy of mine bought a CF Moto last fall and so far he loves it. My brother has the RX also and he really loves it, we are on our fourth Can-Am defender started with the 802 door open cab then had a four-door with a roof on it and took the grandkids for a while then ended up with a two-door...

I have a house mortgage and two automobile loans. One of them is all almost paid off though and my credit score is 842 so it’s not hurting me. When we bought the last vehicle about six months ago, the finance guy at the dealership commented how it’s so nice to work with someone with such good...

so you paid cash for your house? That would be nice

Correct. 2 years ago the neighbor bought a new loaded one ton Ram long box diesel for about $82,000, there daughter and son in law just bought the same truck new for $65,000.00

Thanks. I forget the exact price but I pay $500 a month now for the same insurance I had while working and I think they said it goes down to $250 when I get on Medicare.

What is the cost on some of the supplements? I still have my insurance from my job when I retired in 2020.

My wife will start getting Medicare in stop September, I’m younger than her, from what I read she will automatically get A & B because she is getting social security already. We don’t have to get any extra’s though do we?

I know a couple that are still sitting on way too much stuff they bought when it went from 1999 to the year 2000 Who is this replying to?

Haven’t we been hearing the same thing forever? The world is coming to and end we better be prepared. I refuse to live a paranoid life.

My cheap Cub cadet mower I bought in 2018 from Home Depot is on the original battery, sits out in the shed with no tender on it.

Nothing, 62 years old, lived in Minnesota all my life and I think I’ve only gone a couple days without power. We own a food truck so we have 3 huge freezers with about 400 lbs of brisket 500 lbs of pork butt’s and 60 racks of ribs and on racks in the garage is about 450 16.9 oz bottles of...

In 2016 we decided to sell our split level and have our pole barn house built, my wife repainted every room and we had the living room and stairs recarpeted and put the snap together flooring in the kitchen and dining room, less than $1000 total, we had the realtor appraise our house to put it...

I have had a few Z71 and none of them had any lockers, at least not switched lockers, I know my 2wd, non Z71, would lock the rear of I put it in low gear

After 21 years as a volunteer fireman, I learned to not care what people let their kids do, it’s not my problem. I’ve been to the call where the dad backed over his kid and killed him pulling him in a sled in the snow with his truck, I’ve been to the call where the kid fell off the mower riding...

Buckets and grapple are outside but inside we keep our food vending trailer hooked up to our 1 ton Duramax in the right foot center door is the daily driver 1/2 ton and left door is the John Deere and side by side, John Deere sits between the doors though

I typically use a glass out of the cupboard

Neighbor has a 16’ dump trailer that I have hauled my 2032R in and it also has 6 tire down points

What if there is no river even close to where they put the snow? Our city dumps it in the county Fairgrounds parking lot, not a river even close to that.

They do take them off road, at least I see them off road, we took a new Jeep Gladiator off road when we bought it.

I have owned and driven jeeps for 45 years, latest one is a Gladiator, out to Montana and back and down to Texas and back, no problems at all on the highways at 80mph.

I don’t know how to tell if they are abandoned, I know people still have land lines at home

Nope

Same with my tractor, 0% interest so I financed the balance after the trade in.

I get it, we paid cash for our but not everybody can. And I’m sure some don’t care, life is to short to not have fun. We started our food truck business in 2010 with cash and I was laid off but we could still pay our bills with unemployment.

Believe it or not, not everyone can pay cash for a toy

Just saying a lot of these are sold but not everyone finances them.

The dust is another reason we have the Defender Limited, hardly any dust at all. So you must not smoke or drink or gamble then? I think that is pissing away money, we have had 3 wheelers, atv’s and side by sides for 45 years. We like to have fun though. We have the 4 door Can am with heat...

What state are you in again?

My wife’s brother and his wife, both born and raised in Minnesota, now spend winters in Florida and think we are nuts for staying here in the winter, they think everyone should think like they do and when you retire you should have a place in the south, they can’t believe we like the snow and cold.

I don’t know what option B is, but I help any of my neighbors that need it, pulled their trucks out of snow banks before or help shovel the roof or help pick up a fallen tree.
