Seems to me it was a Bronco frame… but it’s been a long time since I saw it so my recollection may be wrong!

Used to sell firewood for $5 a face cord, deliverd
Add to the list with rubber mats, manual transfer case etc: manual transmission; a real steel key and no stupid "please miss computer, will you start the engine for me" button. Miss computer is on the rag too often.
My biggest pet peeve is proximity locking. People have it set up so when you walk away the car locks(it's now too hard to press a lock button on the fob). Guess what happens when I'm working on it? I walk away with the fob in my pocket and the dang thing locks. I forgot about it, try to open the door and almost rip the handle off.
Spent the weekend doing firewood and leaf blowing. Smoked a small brisket today. Twas a good meal to finish the weekend.

Love the name, Luke!
I really think sometimes dogs find you. We weren’t looking for another dog. Went to the local pet food store to buy our old dog food and they had a rescue adoption event. From the second I held Gunner, I knew he was a good boy. This dog is amazing. From being able to find deer to protecting my girls to being my sidekick in almost everything. I wouldn’t trade him for $1,000
The pups were abandoned in Arkansas and shipped up to NY. Found out from a buddy of mine who has Plott hounds that he has the look, temperament and nose like one. His nose gets him into trouble sometimes, but also makes him a hero when we’re tracking deer

Inspired by @MechanicMatt & @svk among others, we had the inner loins & sauteed onions for dinner

I have tomorrow’s back straps sitting in the fridge with a good rub on them!
The tenderloin is the BEST, we call it “The hunter’s supper”
I'll have to look into that and give it a try if I get a turkey next Spring.
Edit: Looked it up. I don't add salt to my food. Did the meat taste salty?
My 2019 F-150 has keyless entry, and we love it. Go hiking, fishing, hunting you just leave the keys in the center console (so you can't lose them in the field) and just enter the keycode when you return. It is nice not to have that key fob in your pocket when you are actively doing things.
So, we ordered the same thing on my wife's 2020 Edge ST. Stupid Thing!!! If you try to leave the keys in the car, it automatically unlocks it!!! How dumb!!! Why have keyless entry, when you get close to it, it just unlocks!!! Makes no sense to me!
I've wondered about that keyless code thing. What if you leave everything in the car/truck because your doing something like, IDK, jet skiing and come back to a dead battery. Your phone is in the car, you cant open the hood to jump the battery. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me to not have a physical key and a lock just in case.
Not sure but there might be a setting to change that unlocking thing Mike. I think the wife changed it in her Bronco. I'll ask her.
Modern vehicles have a low voltage disconnect that will eliminate ignition off draw sources from the vehicle once a predetermined low voltage is detected. This voltage is generally enough to still be able to start the vehicle assuming the battery is otherwise healthy.
Of course there is always a chance the battery could randomly fail but in my experiences that would be the exception not the norm. There are usually warning signs before they go.

Ford disconnects at around 11.5 volts, I've actually seen this myself playing the radio too long in the wife's Explorer. Everything shut down with a message in the EVIC. It wasn't happy but there was still just enough voltage to start the vehicle.
My last couple of semi's were like that. If it sat a few days or a week, left something on like the refrigerator and the voltage went to 10.5 or something it would shut everything off.

Things like that are unfortunate. Your also run into family members not wanting to let go of anything too. There is a piece of property that my grandfather owned that was originally part of a tract of land from the land grant system from when the colonies were settled.
I showed strong interest in wanting to take it on and continue farming it but some people are just stubborn and nothing could be worked out. I am the only one that would be interested in not flipping it for a quick cash grab but I can't afford to buy my sister out of it when the time comes as its in a prime development area so I just try not to think about it.
I ended up buying my own piece of land with a 1880 something house on it
Agree I would far prefer a physical key But if they're going to make us do the FOB thing I hide a spare one over a bumper. have keep the battery fresh in that one or you will still get locked out Wish they would stop doing our thinking for us and protecting us from ourselves
Yeah, I guess I should have said about 7 volts is terminal, it wont't keep running at that point or attempt to start. (Fire, injectors, plugs etc. May still attempt to crank if the starter is direct wired vs computer controlled.)
The ~7volt shut down is more or less a get out of trouble thing. Say, your a few miles away from a populated area, or home/ shop etc, as long as the engine is running it will let you go till it hits the point where the higher amperage from the low voltage will start doing damage to the circuits in the computer.
10.5v is generally considered fully discharged for a lead acid battery, much lower then that and sulfation will become a major issue/ permanent damage to the lead plates. May still crank and fire at that voltage.
I always take my phone with me. It is "off", but there for emergencies. Fits nicely in a cargo pocket. The key fob and attached keys are sometime uncomfortable in your pocket if you are doing activities, and I prefer to just leave them in the car.
