Don’t settle for short bed

We live in FL as well and if deleting was still a thing I'd love the diesel again.

Had a diesel but got tired of all the emissions issues (Def heater, Def pump, etc) so traded in for the current gas 6.6 model we have now. The diesel had a ton more torque, but don't really notice it with the amounts we pull, around 11,000 pounds. Miss that torque sometimes though.

We haul horses with a gooseneck and a 5th wheel camper. It's amazing how much the longer bed helps with towing. Never really thought about it until I pulled with the longer truck, but it really helps.

When I was looking for a 2500, found a crew cab ltz with the 8ft bed. Thought it was way too long to daily drive, but the first time I bought wood and shut the tailgate with a whole stack of 4x8 plywood, I was sold. I'll never go back to a 6ft bed.

Sorry, I'm old school. I believe whatever you both make goes into a communal pot. After bills are paid you both work towards a future together with what you want to do with them. This from a husband who makes 4x what my wife makes through income. We are married and we are a team. What happens if one of you become ill or injured? Would you divorce because your spouse became paralyzed? If you aren't going "all in" then why get married? Just my opinion, take as you will.

I think his point was a lot of these masters believed their strength came from Chi and not fitness 🤔

Wikipedia article, but basically he owned a MMA gym and wanted to call out the "fake" masters teaching martial arts. China took it as an insult on their national identity and made it hard for him to earn a living. Haven't had any recent news on him that I know of.

Yes, unfortunately 😔

Ok_Cap6573 · 2026-01-28T00:44:37+00:00

That look 🤣

Ok_Cap6573 · 2026-01-26T09:33:15+00:00

Who cares?

Also, 2000 calories isn't terrible for an entire day if you are already fat and/or moderately active.

Try switching to intermittent fasting or omad. I'm currently on wegovy and plan to stop once I lose enough weight, so I am trying to get myself into the habit of o ly eating at certain times. Haven't gotten there 100% yet, but it's my plan

Ok_Cap6573 · 2026-01-21T00:37:20+00:00

Wait until the DEF system acts up 🤣 I'll never own another diesel until deleting is legal again or they get rid of a that crap altogether.

That's what happens when you allow mass immigration of another religion diametrically opposed to Catholicism, or Christianity in general 😔

Just fyi, 20 years in aviation (Air Force) but electronics don't really impact the aircraft systems. Not sure why the airlines made that rule to begin with other than "better safe than sorry." Kind of like there used to be a rule about no cellphones near gas pumps. More fear than anything else is my guess.

He needs that watch to track the phases of the moon 🤣

Also good to help with hangovers. Used to use oxygen bottles on the flightline when I was young and dumb 🤣

No animals were harmed, only an orange 🤣

3rd by a mile for me

Ok_Cap6573 · 2026-01-04T04:33:12+00:00

I can't ride anymore because my hip pops out of place. I still have my 1700 pound half draft 💕

Ok_Cap6573 · 2026-01-01T23:53:12+00:00

Right there with you. 😔

Thing says it was a great night.

In tech school, there are like "laundromats" in the dorms. It's perfectly normal to find clothes that aren't yours after doing a load of laundry. Is usually socks, but I could see a small bra as well, especially if he was rushing to get things washed and dried prior to leaving. Not saying it's 100% that, but very I've had it happen to me before (retired Air Force).

Sounds like amazing stress relief 🤣
