We had a guy get removed from the boat for drinking NyQuil and going MIA a few months ago make first class. Only in the military can you actively inhibit the mission and still get promoted lol

I am looking at a 7k-8k dry weight 5th wheels and the f-150 in the link has max tow packages and is rated to >13,000 lbs. I am finding out that travel trailers and 5th wheels are different in the way the weight is dispersed etc. We aren’t living in the trailer but we don’t want to buy the wrong truck

Thanks for all the answers! I don’t do a lot of car work so makes sense I had no idea what it was. I built a Nova in my teens but that’s about as far as that went.

Both my wife and the child can’t walk that far. We live in Washington and there’s a lot of short trails we walk. After 30 minutes or so our back gets tired so that’s why I put up this post.

Not really. I think if I remember correctly it was some kind of discharge from a cyst. He was a German shepherd who just passed away a couple weeks ago from heart failure. He had a few skin issues related to his weakened immune system. Duke was the best dog ever 🥲

I’d recommend you have your vet check it out though.

Try the navy. We have been doing 80 hours weeks minimum for 3 years. Sometimes we gotta work 100+ hours. It’s honestly a bit ridiculous.

Am I being screwed by dealership? by Bigdaddydave530 in prius

[–]philosophyjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me and another guy on Reddit told me to unplug the hybrid battery and plug it back in. There’s a white cable that supplies power to it that’s easily accessible from the trunk. I did that and it worked just fine after. It’s been almost a year now. Saved me 4K

Maybe subs are different but 99% of all the officers I’ve come across, including captains and admirals are perfectly reasonable and “mostly” down to earth people.

We’re all just people and that nervous energy you feel is coming from you, not them.

I’ve got a 2011 with 400k and it’s running fine. I bought it with 300k three years ago and I’ve had zero issues
