bummer luis. my husband just told me how much we owe in taxes this year:anxious-face-with-sweat:
Just don't tell him how much you spend on corals and it'll even out! :face-with-tears-of-joy: :smiling-face-with-halo:
 
Thank you Amanda. I did 21 years in the Army. First 12 years, I was an Airborne Ranger then I was selected to nursing school and I finished out as a Trauma Flight Nurse.
Thank you for your service!
 
I know what you mean. When I fire up my 2500, it rumbles... such a beautiful sound coming out of that 6.4L Hemi! I may press a bit hard on the skinny pedal from time to time, like you said it to go fast! I also like how it pushed you back in your seat when you really get on it!

Hopefully won't draw ire. Mine is a 1999 F350 Ford with the 7.3 liter diesel. I bought it a month after we got married in 2005 (upgrade from an 1989 non turbo 7.3).

As others have said, I thank you for your service sir. Genuinely. Our veterans don't get enough recognition.
 
At least they are NICE trucks! I drive a Ram 2500.
My username is because my last name is Rockafellow and in the service, everyone called me Rock. Some of my friends still do... so... Rocks Reef was born!
To be fair, any company making trucks as long as Dodge, Ford, GM, Toyota, Nissan etc has to know how to make a halfway decent vehicle. It's basically just preference for the most part

My grandpa had one and I wish I had bought it. I love them old fords. I have a 84 single cab f150 I've been working on cleaning up.

I agree, but man some people I've met make a fanatical religion out of it. When I was in college I was talking to a guy who complained that all Ford parts were supposedly more expensive than GM parts. I joked that might indicate a quality difference. The joke did not land well :-)

Oh it's wild, I personally, wouldn't go out looking to buy a Dodge/Ram, mostly because I grew up in Ford's and Toyotas, so I like them. That said, if i saw a good enough deal I'd genuinely consider it. It's not like im naming my child after it lol
 
Ugh my clownfish have begun spawning like crazy now that I've started to get my tank under control again.... and they are absolute terrors.... they just violently assaulted a turbo snail off the rock and pushed it 2ft to the left... he wasn't even within a foot of their spawn. My new wrasse looks like he might have gone near em too :downcast-face-with-sweat:
 
I think I have really expensive fish food. I think it's been frozen for a couple days and they held it to thaw!

I assume your already in the process of putting a claim in? That sucks Paul.
