supposedly...the starter, battery, and electrical components are more beefier on the auto start/stop models. But, I'm not convinced.

my 2016 F150 doesn't have it, and I'm glad. Though it can be rid of. My office has a Fusion with it, and it's rather annoying.

I'm just a poor hillbilly, I like Jack Daniels. But of course I've not been spoiled by any of that good stuff either.

And for some reason, it just taste better from the bottle.

Grouchy, you sound a lot like my dad.

He's got a strange dilemma...There was a nice big gum tree next to his shop that died several years ago. But you know them ole gums, they are stubborn sumbeaches. So it just kinda sat there for a year or 2 before it started rotting and getting dangerous. So he takes his polesaw and extension ladder and trims every limb, leaving just a 30ish foot pole about 30" diameter at the bottom....Another year passes and the pole is just as solid as ever. He's just hanging bird houses from it...Then my lovely mother buys one of those metal carports and just has it set in her mind to put it next to his shop right where that tree is.....And she wants a fine-gravel floor under it so she can do crafts and such with a roof and nice floor.

Well, ok, we'll just cut down that old pole. No problem, but now we've got a big ole stump that's not showing the slightest signs of rot, just as hard as ever.... Alrighty...We could grind it, but then them big roots would rot away and the ground would get soft and sink where the roots were causing issues on the surface....So, we could take some diesel and soak it and burn it up...Same problem, the roots burn out and the ground may take years to fully settle...

Well, I just happen to have a Deere track-loader with a backhoe, and we have a couple tractors with front loaders....but NO, that's too much trouble.

My father has been digging that big ole stump out with a shovel, mattock, and axe. He's been going for about 6 months and he's got a hole about 8ft across and 5ft deep now....and he's still digging around the roots and stump. He doesn't really know what to do, but he's doing it.


You might have guessed by now, my dad is not too keen on my mom setting up her shop so closely to his shop...But it's obviously not an argument he can win.

yeah, most of our WM do still sell guns. But rarely is there someone in the sporting goods section. And when there is, rarely do they know much about anything.

Luckily, I've not been to a walmart in over a year. And it's been even longer since I bought anything more than medicine there.

thanks, I'll be printing some off as well.

maybe it looks goofy, but you can't argue with results.

a doe at 205yds standing freehand. Probably my single most proud shot.

I also picked up a used Halon 32-6 just a few days ago. Gonna probably get a new string and set it up next week.
