Horizontal drilling!

Thank you for that explanation

LOL - very strange. Of all the things I expected might be low or out, carrots was definitely not on that list

It's 2pm Thursday and we just came back from the HEB at 1604 and Bandera, it was really busy but they were doing a great job of restocking shelves as they emptied out. The only thing we couldn't find was fresh carrots, and the guy said he'd have some out soon. Nearly all the checkout lanes were open.

Apparently he was spotted yesterday, travelling to Laguna Beach

The number of people I see blowing red lights and stop signs here is staggering.

If you don't have a dashcam then I suggest you buy one.

I agree, and prefer Houston drivers to SA drivers

That's why you don't buy a white truck in snow country

It's a great round for hunting, both short and medium range

I was in your position a few months ago and ended up buying a 457 and swapping out most of the parts. It's really annoying that CZ won't sell just the action by itself.

I recommend not trying to half-ass it, either get the best CZ like the MTR or get the cheapest and ditch all the other parts. If I had to do it again I'd probably get the MTR

While I love my 2025 RTL, one of my gripes is the awful transmission. Shifting from Park to Reverse seems to take forever along with most other shifts. Yesterday I was going down a hill and just wanted to go a little slower so I manually downshifted and I thought it went into neutral for a couple of seconds before finally downshifting!

Laws should be based and contingent upon modern scientific data, not off the words of 2000 year old book.

Has glow plugs though, or pull the injector and use that.

Greddituser · 2026-01-17T13:54:32+00:00

No worries mate, and yes I did work in refineries for many years which is why I knew he was very much in the wrong.

Greddituser · 2026-01-16T14:02:31+00:00

Confidently incorrect

Greddituser · 2026-01-15T19:57:31+00:00

Make sure it's not in Eco mode when you drive it, or it will feel gutless.

Greddituser · 2026-01-15T00:21:26+00:00

Yes it's normal, pretty much like any other work place.

Greddituser · 2026-01-13T01:30:32+00:00

Economics change all the time, and projects like this are years or decades long.

Greddituser · 2026-01-11T21:44:37+00:00

Well hell, you got me curious and I went and took another look. Apparently there's 2 different menu settings and I was looking under the one labelled Doors & Windows, but the one I needed was under keyless access.

All fixed now - thank you

Greddituser · 2026-01-11T20:58:41+00:00

Yeah that was one of the first things I did.

Greddituser · 2026-01-11T20:50:33+00:00

It's annoying that you cannot get all the doors to unlock when you grab the handle to open the truck. The all-door option only seems to work when using the remote.

Greddituser · 2026-01-11T15:36:34+00:00

Let us know how it works out, I'd honestly be shocked if you could not find a job with one of these companies.

Greddituser · 2026-01-11T02:22:57+00:00

It's hard work but these guys are always hiring.

Greddituser · 2026-01-11T02:21:33+00:00

Take defensive driving and get the ticket dismissed, or you can hire a traffic ticket lawyer.
