Five Seasons

If you don't know the difference between a colorado and silverado or tacoma and tundra you shouldn't be driving or talking about trucks. It's not like there is some secret powers under their hood and with their suspensions that put them in the same performance class. One is big, the other is smaller. Don't over complicate it.

did you seriously change your name AGAIN?

jesus so the guy's a d-bag and you're willing to take an assault charge? some of yall are super tough behind that keyboard

was hoping there was a vote for no change. surprised he didn't put his face on it. but will admit i hate the yellow.

i guess that's fair. my old man also has a honda crv in addition to his 01 silverado that he has babied since new. thing is still is rust free, which is unheard of for that gen in upstate ny. lol.

awesome work man!

i'll add that a silverado double cab is more roomy than one might think. I could comfortably haul my 3 boys, 2 in car seats in my 16 double without an issue. The doors open regularly and not like the previous gen suicide doors, and the leg room is quite a bit more. I only upgraded to a crew because the do didn't really have much space on the floor. The crew would be needed to for a long drive if you have adults in the back, but is adequate for shorter drive imo.

shoot, a nicely equipped denali is more than that.

looks are subjective so i'll give you that. There's no right or wrong, but I do believe you're in the minority here. I know a lot of guys really like the styling of the new ram's too but they don't do much for me.

wait, wait, wait did you just say the ridgeline is nicer looking than the new gmc?

i've never seen any noticeable difference at 30 yards and under with the lighted vs regular nocks. with my new site I can shoot out to 60 and it was interesting that i was hitting slightly to the right at 20 and about a foot off to the right at 60, so I'm going to tinker tonight to see if the effect of the heavier nock is noticeable at 60. After all, what good is an adjustable site if you're not accurate with your hunting setup, including the broadhead.

you too man. And I only had to get out my metal detector once last night hahahaha

for what it's worth, i've found the best truck deals to be in the fall, not in december but i doubt the difference is drastic. I haven't read all 3 pages, but im sure everyone is recommending their personal choice to you. I'll put it this way, I don't think you can go wrong with any major brand. They're all good and pretty similar with just some design and feature differences, so i suggest you just shop around. I'd probably avoid nissan and honda though. and if it helps, I have 3 boys and just picked up a 19 silverado crew rst. It's a beautiful truck and with z71 and few other options my lease is under $500.

same. i've found field tips work best.

similar boat my friend. 15 year old mathews is retiring and now i have a new yardage adjustable site, new drop away rest, new fmj arrows. Takes a lot of tweaking, but so far it seems like money well spent. I was grouping nicely at 60 last night... not that i'd ever shoot that, but it's a heck of confidence booster.

they're new to the scene and my understanding is that they're made by the maker of nockturnal. there was some thing with him and his wife and that's why he's making a new nock. nockturnals were the best of the 3 nocks i've tried over the year. The kicker is you need a tool to turn them off and glorynock claims the same performance with no tool. The reviews have been mixed online though so I'd love to hear what you think. But if they're your first lighted nock you wont have much to compare too. and if you're a super picky archer, note that the weight is usually more than your unlighted nocks.

i haven't heard all the details yet, but find it funny that the thought of a convicted felon illegally possessing firearms and shooting at cops could be solved by gun control. Now gun control can be a broad statement, and I too would endorse tougher penalties and better control over the illegal gun trade, but the headline conveys a different message to most.

i was being facetious. i have a pretty serious grip on my finances. Good points to add though for the rest to read and understand.

well that's another discussion. First we were talking jobs and now we're talking pensions, which don't exist hardly anywhere anymore. Kodak was fat and happy yes. My father worked there for 32 years before they finally razed his building. I worked there for 2 summers as an intern. They very much mismanaged their business. I've also worked for Honeywell and GE who have both had pension programs and no longer do. The later is crippled by their fat and happy pension ways. None of the 3 companies we're discussing here was affected by automation. They're systemically affected by greed, corruption, regulations and generally becoming too large and not being able to adjust for the changing times. Best buy did, circuit city didn't. Amazon did. Sears didn't. There are examples for both of are arguments. Generally speaking I would agree with you that the benefits for the american worker have dwindled significantly. Health care sucks, pensions don't exists which leads to many job hopping every few years as there is no longer any loyalty. Most of our retirement plans now sit and grow in the stock market and all we can do is hope that it's doing ok when we retire. sucks.

kodak is not a good example at all. I can point to the hundreds of local businesses that spawned from their screw ups and now employee thousands of rochestarians.

we will literally pay people to go to mcc or a technical school to become test technicians. I know it's not black and white, but it's also not as boo hoo as some make it out to be. There are opportunities and not everyone is just going to hand you everything.

correct moog. those near 30 footers are on the side of pretty steep ravines. But even at 20 or so feet you do have to be conscious of angle. here are 2 pics I could find of bow kills over the years where they've gone off the run and come in closer then i'd like. Still dead deer, but not ideal.

there are other opportunities for those with experience. but the point is we're just looking for bodies. yeah you wont be rich, but it's a job with major growth potential. I hear sanders and AOC up there rallying against the system and I honestly think the only group they're talking to is that 4% that's basically already unemployable and others who just dont want to work at all. It's scary.

there's a team of engineers in an office somewhere who is designing and maintaining the self checkout system. That building is being leased, they pay utilities, there's a janitor, admins, support staff. The machine doesn't just replace Sandra the cashier. And on another note, we're looking for $15 an hour stockroom employees. Only GED is needed and no skills. We've had a dozen open jobs for months now that we can't fill. We thought we just had a good group of 8 and 4 failed their drug test. Unemployment is under 4% in upstate. If your only hope to put food on your table is to be a cashier, you're not even really looking for a job. Not trying to rant, even though I did. But some of y'all think you're going to prevent the spread of technology by not using it? You're not doing anything noble. Heck, this forum is replacing banquets, rod and gun clubs, and even the local watering hole to some degree.
