OK can somebody like me… Why do scammers want your phone number? Most peoples phone numbers are publicly listed anyway, so why do they want you to call them?
They want you to pick up and record specific words you say that they can use.

Never pic up

Never say the word YES, OK, anything that can be related to making it sound like you are agreeing with something. They will pull single words out of your conversation.

I will never pick up for phone numbers any more that are not a saved contact. If it’s important they can leave a message and I will decide if I want to call back or if its a scamer.

Also if you pick up they know it is an actively used number and they will share it with others.

Ah. Voice recognition. Thank you
 
Yes, but great fire tender when camping.
My son has been doing karate for over 2 years now. They have tournaments 3-4 times a year and they do the board breaking. If I get lucky I can fill the bed of my wifes ranger with broken .75” white pine finish boards!!! Amazing tinder!!

All of it is 2”, 4”, 6”, 8”, 10” or 12” wide cut to 12” lengths befor broken in half.

If I get it it ends up being around 4-6 40 gallon trash cans full😂😂😂

Edit: and the ones that break the concrete blocks some guys have to space them apart in the stack (cheating IMO) with the flat carpenter pencils. So I usually grab a hadful of them out of the trash too.

Scammers suck. I wish there was an explode button on a cellphone that sent a destruct message to the caller.
 
I had owned Ford trucks since 1977. In 2017 I drove 3 new pickups bac to back. I took out Chevy 2500, Ford F250 XLT and a Ram 2500 SLT. Powerwise they all were fast with over 400hp. The Ford was the noisiest. The Ford and Chevy lost it on back roads in the curves on bumps. The Ram and Chevy were both quiet. The RAM rode the best and handled the best on those curvy backroads. I did drive all 3 over the same roads. One dealer had 3 dealerships side by side. I bought the RAM and never looked back at owning another Ford again.
 
Morning guys and gals. I will be driving my Ford Powerstroke to the cabin to get away for a couple days. The Ford is not new or quiet and it doesn't try to imitate a grocery getter. It does haul and pull very well tho. I'm likely ahead of all of you in the cost per mile driven too. Rarely need to stop at the diesel pump. Hope you all have a great weekend.
 
My 2019 F-150 is my first full size truck, but I had ridden in many trucks before. This thing is smooth, quiet, handles great, very peppy and gets great gas mileage (on flat highway +/- 25 MPG). It is the Sport model with extra ground clearance, so it goes up the 4wd road to my cabin w/o any issues.

In the winter I put Blizzak tires on it and call it my snow country Ferrari!

IMO, if you don't do heavy towing, it is the perfect truck (2.7 ltr bi-turbo w/10 speed).

Don't drive it a lot (I just love driving the Mustang), but in over 4 years have not had a single issue, and when I do drive it, it is usually hauling the ATV, or towing the trailer, or climbing the mountain. I have the extended cab and a 6.5' bed, just big enough to fit my Polaris 570. My grandkids fit in the back, and if I take them fishing and park close to the guardrail, they can slide across to the other side w/o any problem.

I think it was just the right truck for me and my needs, and in April 2019 I got a darn good deal on it brand new (it was on the lot). Paid $36,000 with a 9 year old (rusted) Escape trade-in. Sicker price was over $47,000. I could have paid cash for it, but instead financed $20,000 through my credit union for less than 3%. Payments will end in less than a year.
 
A step in the right direction Bob. :innocent:
I know. Now if I can customize it to fit a good Mac, I'll be in business!! Lol
Just kidding. I just couldn't pass it up at that price. Hope it will fit an 056 I have, if not I guess I'll have to get a saw it will fit! Lol
 
My turn to be enlightened......
Why do people refuse to give you an address until you are pulling out of the drive when purchasing something on Facebook? Even had one that refused to give it to me til I was within a mile of his town. ????? Told him no thanks he could keep it. So why the secrecy with the 007 agents? They end up giving it to you anyway so why does 30 minutes make such a difference??

It's called paranoia....
 
Since the other stuff is currently trucks, this belongs to my apprentice. It's a 3/4 ton with the chev diesel. Non turbo. Not many square bodies around here. Kid did a rebuild on just about everything, built the flat bed himself and in typical 19 yr old fashion, the exhaust goes through the uprights on the headache rack. 😂. Couple glass packs underneath so it's fairly throaty but not absolutely ignorant. He did a really good job, just as he does at work. Restores my faith in the future generations.

Exactly this....

The .gov and media have done a pretty thorough job of convincing people that everybody's out to get everybody else.
