    I have no idea where I am

    A virtual lounge. Now all we need the moderators to do is make a virtual bar with virtual drinks, maybe some virtual entertainment...no, they have virtual entertainment at Oilburners.:D

    comment The Revenuers are Coming,

    For the wife's new grooming van: $42.50 for the title $890.00 in "use tax" (since I bought the van out of state) $76.00 for a plate good for eight months. Since it is a commercial vehicle complete with DOT number, we pay every January 1. Seems that everything for this business venture comes...

    Trading in gas guzzler may cost you

    What do I think of the greenies and their holier than thou attitudes? Not much. I relieve my bladder in their general direction and blow black smoke into their open driver windows. I'm just getting too old and ornery. My tolerance for bovine scat is at an all time low. :sly

    Question how do you get a 6.0 to get 12-13 mpg towing

    Don't let the environmental whackos hear about that mileage, Robert. You'll be pilloried for driving a 'gas guzzler'. Though most of the whackos wouldn't know about towing, think we should all drive hybrids, and wouldn't know about running biodiesel even if Willie Nelson came up and kicked...

    Question Vets: Are you a member of a Vet group?

    Banged up in the Air Force, medically retired by the AF at 50 percent, the service officers at the Disabled American Veterans helped me get my 100 percent VA rating. I am a life member of the DAV because of their efforts. As for the other groups, I don't smoke, I drink rarely, but when I do I...

    BIG MPG'S w/HeAtInG OiL

    An interesting thread, showing feats of urinary competition rarely seen on this forum. And all about an activity that will get you a heavy fine if you are caught. Running dyed diesel isn't smart unless there is no other fuel available (example, after Katrina when the EPA gave a blanket...

    Trading in gas guzzler may cost you

    Getting another 6.0 Super Duty (E-350 Extended Van) was a no-brainer. Commonality in filters and maintenance parts, moving 7000 pounds of vehicle and gear and still getting 17 mpg in the city, even with the price of diesel at $4.25+, I still do better than the alternatives of a Dodge Sprinter or...

    Whirlpool <DUET> Problems !

    As each Whirlpool appliance dies, we replace it with LG. All we have left is the stove. We got ten years out of the washer and dryer. Twelve out of the microwave. Sold the refrigerator while it still worked.

    New Guy here in Southern California. (Riverside)

    I lived in Moreno Valley when I was stationed at March Field, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Met my wife there. Lots of changes since I left, so I heard. My wife went back for a visit a few years ago and got lost. Welcome to SDD!

    butt whippin' NEEDED

    In Florida, the so called child protection agencies will charge parents and grandparents with child abuse if they witness an "ass whuppin". So the grandmother has a legitimate fear. That being said, the local sheriff's deputies in this part of Florida will turn a blind eye to corporal...

    FINALLY!!!

    I wish my young son had learned something as polite as "Power Stroke". His first sentence was "Don't pi$$ me off!" (one of my favorite curses at the time) He would run around the house yelling that phrase while his younger sister sat there and giggled. That boy is grown now and out of the...

    WHAT THE HECK

    I thought that filling up the Beast was bad with a 29 gallon tank. Speedy, my wife's grooming van, takes 35 gallons of diesel when she fills up the tanks. The fleet card will only authorize $125 per transaction. It takes two transactions to fill the tank. At $4.05 a gallon, it takes over $142...

    Just bought 04 F 350 6.0 Mistake??

    I have a Super Duty pickup with the 6.0, 62 K on the odometer. The wife just bought a E-350 Super Duty with the 6.0, it has 120 K. Neither one has problems with the engine, transmission, or any major system. I drove the van from the dealer near Youngstown, Ohio to a conversion shop near NYC...

    Steering Wheel Controls

    I think you are right on the 2005, Stephen. Sis has a 2004 F-250 Harley-Davidson with all the bells and whistles. But no steering wheel controls. She saw them on my 2005 F-250 Lariat and immediately lusted after them.

    The '08 F450 takes up a lot of room

    Some Arab sheik is spending those windfall oil profits on a nice truck. Maybe he should have bought seven, one for each day of the week. At least some of that oil money is keeping the guys at KTP gainfully employed for a bit longer. Things being what they are I imagine there will be some guys...

    Stupidest thing I've seen in the last month!!!!!!

    Perfect! A girly man travel trailer for the girly man Dodge truck owner. Why girly man? It could explain why Dodge puts a drawing of a feminine reproductive tract on every product!:lmao Personally, I'm a Jayco and Ford man from way back.

    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    I just got back from taking delivery of Laura's grooming van. What a trip, two days driving in the rain, two days getting the van roof converted, and even seeing some snow and sleet. In April.:eek: Highest price paid for diesel: $4.20 a gallon in New Waterford, Ohio. Lowest price paid for...

    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    Sorry I can't participate. I have to buy 35 gallons of diesel when I pick up the wife's van, drive across Pennsylvania, spend two days in Mt. Olive while the new roof is installed, then drive all the way back to Florida via I-81. At least there are lots of Flying J truck stops on the way. If the...

    Tailgate Modifications

    How about a kit that would make the tailgate work like those three way liftgates on the old Ford wagons?

    When others sell, we buy.

    A lot of money is made simply because owners DON'T brush their dogs. People could save money on the grooming visits if they would brush them every day or so. An OES can get pricey, a full groom and bath would run $120, assuming no matted coat. But with that much fur, it's a two hour job, and...

    When others sell, we buy.

    Hey Crumm, Grooming the dogs in a person' house limits what you can do. You can't really bathe them properly, dog hair gets everywhere in the house when the clippers run, and lugging a portable grooming table is rough on Laura's back. With the van, there is a grooming table, stainless...
