Because tailgate struts are like tires, wipers, filters, light bulbs, antennas…easily replaceable items on a vehicle.

You buy OEM tires and wipers?
Before phone translators, it was common to see “In Toe” written with tape on a 3 car train headed down 59. Saw it several times.

Sold a deer mount to a car dealership in Kansas.

Don’t get burned on shipping. Do your research. Packing it is a bitch.
Drove thru there last Sunday

Could have been me.

I talked to a pilot for Air Tractor planes that would ferry them to Asia from Olney, TX. He said the spray tanks would be modified to hold fuel. He said disassembly was not practical.
Try Look’s Marketplace in Sioux Falls. Decent brewery and a butcher shop that has a good dry aged beef program.

Better credit means they will likely make less on the back end from you.

Cash or outside lower financing can lead to a better price with other conditions in play - end of the month, bloated inventory, high days on the lot.

What did they do with all the crawfish?

$5 says they kept eating while the paramedics/cops were doing their job.

I noticed top blanket had condensation on it this morning, is that a given or poor ventilation? At what point are you sacrificing heat retention for moisture circulation?

Follow up question, what do you do when there is 4” of snow after tent setup? Was not in the forecast. Everything dry so far. Moving blanket on tent floor is a great move. First time using that advice.

No snow accumulation. Setup is dry, for now. Rain came back into the forecast this week.

Three season 3 person tent. Waterproof liner under tent, moving blanket on inside floor, inflatable mattress and zero bag on top. Only supposed to be 35 degrees w/ light winds all week.

Stove would be nice.

How do you set up a tent on fresh snow? Forecast is 1-3” of snow the night before set up. Open area, so it will get covered.

Pick a high spot, scrape the snow off, and put a water barrier down? Anything else I am missing (besides booking a hotel room)?
