    If a guy had some ground, and was able to roam around some, and could make ends meet, I’d do it in a second. Life isn’t going to get any cheaper, and we aren’t getting any younger.

    my aunt was an RN. He didn’t wanna do the bladder removal, but she told him if he didn’t he wouldn’t be able to pee much more, and he’d be backed up 3-4 days maybe 5 before it burst and it’d be miserable. sob that’s why they took all that out. Moms been dead since 16, my sisters have yet to come over to even out talk or check on him.

    Dad had an uncle that cut his hand washing his car. Dead a week later from infection. 50 years old. 1928

    My great great granddad on moms side went duck hunting. Came down with a cold/chills. Died the next day on his birthday. 40 years old. 1881.

    As we know life was hard back then. You had to be tough from Day One.

    Last time I priced a pick-up you paid extra for a manual, and it wasn't a small amount. Now this was 10 years ago, but when I was younger manual was the cheaper and more reliable option.
    They said the reason manual cost more was because nobody wanted them anymore, now if that's B.S. or not I don't know, what I do know is I WAS NOT paying extra for a manual. It was one of the medium duty Chevys ( land scapers) use them around here.
    Next time I want more truck I'll just go to the auction and see what they have.
