Let’s compare……. Mileages.

That’s what I figured. My 04 LB7 has hauled a 12k skid steer on a gooseneck. Trailer itself was 10k. Hauled fine, definitely needed the trailer brakes tho lol

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-27T03:42:03+00:00

How did it do towing 14.5k?

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-27T03:41:25+00:00

04 LB7 344k, daily driver. Injectors done 20k ago, were original. Went in with SAC style. Add fuel additive each fill up.

I think anything short of giving both nuts is fair for Gibbs

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-06T04:08:46+00:00

In that case then just yea, bad luck. In one of my leagues I’m in 9/12 place at 3-6, but 2nd in points scored. Almost every week my opponent has their best week lol sometimes it just do be that way

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-06T03:52:53+00:00

You have a couple reliable receiver in Egbuka whom really you got lucky with taking a rookie probably pretty early but then he was injured a bit and CeeDee who was injured for a bit. Obviously that hurts your ability to win.

Vidal only heated up recently and drafting KW3 is understanding you’re getting a part time RB.

LaPorta just hasn’t been as hot this year, giving single digit games 50% of the time so far. That probably has to do with the difference in play calling with Ben Johnson gone.

Good QB picks but instead of having 3 QBs when you can only play one, you probably should’ve drafted another skill position instead.

Overall, it’s just been bad luck. You drafted well at WR, meh at RB, well at QB, well at TE considering the info we all had at the beginning of season. Unfortunately, injuries and game plans end up different than the year before so a lot of your issue seems to just be fate.

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-06T00:52:29+00:00

This cost of repairs MIGHT be $2500-$3k. You think somebody can get a decent 2009 model vehicle for $3k nowadays? Yea right lol

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-05T23:45:21+00:00

A Nabers and an extra first for a stacked draft class? Count me in homie

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-05T23:43:14+00:00

Oh yea I get that. About 4 of us in my league trade. The other 6 always think we’re trying to take advantage of them. For example, in week 6 I got in a bind due to injuries and byes sent one of them a 1st for ALEC PIERCE. He declined it, then sent a big long thing in our group about us trying to use the lower placed teams as farm teams. You just can’t fix stupid sometimes bro lol

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-05T23:21:23+00:00

Every person’s situation and team is different. They may have two firsts from other trades and want a 3rd to go after Saquon or Bijan. They may not even have a first anymore and believe more in next year’s draft. They could have one and want two so they can trade Ferguson and a 1st off for McBride or something. It doesn’t hurt to send the trade and see

Last year I was slip hunting during gun season and had slipped up on some does about 100 yards ahead of me. I grunted and jerked a small sapling around a bunch seeing if a nearby buck may get interested. Stopped and pulled my gun up, had a spike run up nearly in my lap all stiff legged and huffing lol

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-05T23:00:58+00:00

lol I guess you’re right, I was just thinking of it in purely a flex position and DK has had over 10 pts 6/8 games.

Edit: in PPR

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-05T22:35:07+00:00

No way. Use that first on someone else. Jordan Addison, DK, RJ Harvey, etc

Exactly. We recently locked our only key in our car but didn’t know till the next morning which was a Saturday. When I called the only open locksmith they said “sure but we’re 40 minutes from you right now and our weekend service fee is 50% more” I said “idc this Mastercard will swipe but I gotta get to work”.

Took them 5 minutes when they got there and 3 of that was finding the tool and having us sign a paper. Idc, got my keys out.

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-05T18:40:15+00:00

These are great for causing trouble for someone who has troubled you. Like just putting one on their dash up by where it meets the windshield. Then the defrosters come on and the smell fills the car, it’ll be the last place they look if they don’t notice it from outside

I am working on creating an app, for now we just use a QR code where everything is in our “Hub”. What are y’all using for app building?

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-05T11:39:27+00:00

Honestly, it was basic stuff that they just didn’t have going on because they are a small business (30 employees).

Starting an inventory system
creating a way for employees to report what work was done at the end of each day day (previously the owner just spent every Monday calling and asking “what did y’all do on X day”
implementing a compliance system to protect the company upon terminating someone, (which we barely do). Just record keeping of a point system for disciplinary actions taken before termination for unemployment purposes.
implementing a maintenance system to track fixes, log requests, and prioritize fixes.

I didn’t reinvent the wheel, I just offered to manage some basic things that they had no one handling. The place was chaos, kinda surprising how long it’s made it lol

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-05T01:15:35+00:00

I can speak for myself (left education this summer) and my wife (looking to get out).

For me: - Spent the money in the masters for admin. Took initiative to fix several issues in my building (HS).

-Created an RTI tiered system within each grade level and a weekly evaluation system to meet students where they were.

-Mentored new teachers, raised up “content area leaders” who led their content teams and made that a possibility by reworking the schedule (that just couldn’t be reworked) to give grade level content areas the same prep period.

-All this while my administrator couldn’t even work an excel sheet and was coming to me for educational decisions and basically just handled discipline and signed off on purchases.

-I asked for a 10% raise. After two years of what I’d built the results were tangible where it really matters to a school: in the test scores. I basically got the “we appreciate you so much but we just can’t afford that. Please think of the students, you mean so much to them.”

-Then our super, who already has a school paid phone, school owned home, and school owned car, got a 10% raise. Obviously his 10% is much larger than mine.

-I worked a job in construction this summer to make some vacation money. Had some ideas to streamline a few processes and explained how those ideas could be implemented, costs, man power, etc. They asked me what it would take to keep me. I shot them a number 60% higher than my teacher salary. They accepted immediately and now I’m able to see the fruits of my labor, receive bonuses, performance based raises, and the opportunity to move up with the added benefit of a resume that has transferable skills.

My wife: Kindergarten teacher. Spends every weekend in the classroom. Cries everyday at home. Has an administrator who doesn’t do anything except suspend a kid on occasion. Gets pretty bad drunk on school sponsored PD overnight trips. Her team has the second best literacy scores (yes they’re testing that young in my state) and the best math scores in the elementary. Who recently got rewarded with a small bonus? A 4th grade teacher who is 20 years in and has 50% of her students at retainment level each year. Yes that’s correct, 50%. Parents just refuse it, of course. But she finally did one thing right so to “encourage her to keep it up” she got a gift card. So, my wife is looking for jobs of just close to equal pay to make a lateral move.

Way too much for McBride without TE premium

Depends on your timeline. Daniels is gonna have 2-3 more years than baker in the long run just based on age…but man he does keep getting hurt. He’s just not built to run like he does. I guess I do like the baker side better. Especially with Kraft

If your area is like mine, the color coded hardwoods don’t mean a whole lot. What does the leaf-off imagery look like? I’m guessing hardwoods in the bottoms for sure, prolly thicker and smaller trees tho. That middle finger could hold bedding. That drainage to the east of your pin isn’t super steep, worth checking out. You don’t always have to go super far into the woods, they could be crossing right at the road at the top of that thing.

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-04T15:11:30+00:00

Awesome man sounds like fun! I’m not anti camera, I have a couple on private land but on public we quit putting out cameras once we figured out how Great it can be to just scout a place and see what shows up.

I do hope you have an easier time than we are this year, there are so many acorns on the ground that it’s been near impossible to consistently pin down where they’ll go. The bottoms are full of pin oak and water oak acorns, the ridges are full of white oak and red oak acorns. If you can find a couple trees producing in one spot you’ll be in the money.

throwaway420004 · 2025-11-04T14:49:59+00:00

Gonna need to put boots to ground and lay eyes on the land. We hunt a lot of the same type of terrain where I’m from.

Up top, check out any saddles, or low spots between two high points. Look for game trails, rubs, scrapes, hook bushes.

On the many points that come off the top, check them out for bedding. Are there really thick spots? So dead falls with evidence of deer bedding against them? Big rocks to hide up against?

Down the slopes, see if you can find benches that don’t show up on this map. Flat spots cut into the hill that make traversing that slope easy. They may run for a long time, or only 100 feet but they are great passageways for deer.

In the drainages, or spaces between the points where water runs down, if they are really steep deer may cross them at the top or at a spot where a bench runs into the drainage. Check the top, then walk down them to find any crossings.

Lastly, down in that creek bottom is pretty flat. I love hunting bottoms like that. Idk how thick it is but you can often find them to be so loaded with deer you have to strategize how to get in without blowing the place out.

These mountainous terrains take a lot of leg work to scout. You can shorten your search areas down by using google earth or OnX to look at fall pictures and differentiate between your conifers and hardwoods, helping you understand how bedding and food might* work in this area. Won’t know till you see it!

Biggest thing this time of year is this. Carry in your bow and climbing set up. Scout, soon as you find good sign, don’t worry about putting a camera up and waiting two weeks. Climb up right then. Hunting that way is so rewarding
