Not for an Old Retired F*** like me. ? Besides it would fit in my garage, the stoke antenna just makes it.

I'm trying to convince the wife. We live in the Atlanta metro area and people here are just dicks to each other. Especially on the road. I'm 40 right now and I know for sure I want to get out of my current profession while I'm still a viable adult and get into something new, preferably in the Caribbean. I'm hoping the USVI will be in the cards and my wife can work from home. I don't know what I'll end up doing but I'll find something!
There is always work. I'm a chef. Always construction, especially since Maria whomped us so badly. That was horrific and the scariest night of my life. I think we have a storm coming now.

I always say that the people here are the most polite rude people in the world. haha.

Life is simple here and you have to get use to going without stuff. There's definitely an air of roughing it here. I like that though.

I'd love to be a chef, but I don't have time for the formal training and when I retire, I think the age of 48 will be a bit late. I may see about getting on with a boat towing operation like Tow Boat U.S. or Sea Tow. It's busy work but I was meant to be out by the water. I've also considered bring over a decent smoker and selling low and slow BBQ and bottled beer from a plywood shack. :D

People do it, that's for sure. You can do anything you want bro. I'm 47 and yes, no you can't just become a chef. You can wash dishes and learn though. lol.

Ordered the Terrain Management shift knob thing through my local dealership today. It should be here Thursday and look like the pic. Now that I have the upgraded dash cluster, I can use FORScan and activate Terrain Management and bam, I can selected Terrain modes.

Went fishing and caught a few. It's been a good fishing truck so far. Did pretty well. My size 14 next to the 36' black drum caught on my surf rod for scale. Awesome fight on a light tackle trout rod in the surf.

Did a good deed and pulled out a stuck minivan, TWICE today. I told this young man to stay on the hard pack near the water. I pull him out and he proceeds to drive about 20 feet and make a hard left into the soft sand instead of a right to the water line. You just cannot fix stupid. I told him the third time is going to cost him because he is interrupting my fishing. He did not get stuck a third time.

Learned zero miles to empty may mean just that. I drove for about 1 mile after zero miles popped up.
I always thought your miles to empty number had a safety buffer of 10 or 20 miles.
I think mine might be dead on. Zero miles to empty and the truck took 19.989 gallons. Not great at math but that’s more than my 19 gallon tank should hold. I did do one top off squeeze but I don’t think that accounts for almost one gallon. Maybe Shell is screwing me???

That's 93 octane prices if you are wondering.
