other dog

Speaking of trucks and bulls, I just happened to see this the other day. Unreal, almost $300,000 for a new truck now. I remember when you could get 10 new trucks for that kind of money. Well, 9 1/2 anyway.

Zina has been talking about trading her Nissan Titan for a GMC because she likes them. The Nissan is our truck, but it's really her truck. She wanted a truck, and she traded her nearly new Honda CR-V for it. The Nissan has given us no problems so far, and when I started looking at GMC trucks I was surprised to hear how many people had transmission and engine problems, joking that they should come with a spare transmission, and people saying their engines were crap with hardly any miles on them. Then you have some saying "well, I've got 375,000 on mines and it's been fine". But anyway, I think she should keep the Nissan. My online research told me that even Toyota was having a lot of engine problems.

I always put the mid grade gas in the car and the pickup. The car, a 2016 Impala, has the "flex fuel" sticker so it only requires the lowest grade, and the highest octane is recommended in the Nissan pickup. They both run good on it, and I'll put a can of Sea Foam in them periodically. A gas expert once told me the mid grade and hi-test was the same gas, they just put an additive in the mid grade to make it high test gas.

That reminds me of mowerman- didn't you say you found a package that the Fed-Ex or UPS man had thrown over the fence into the neighbors yard in the snow one time, and you didn't find it until spring, after the snow melted?
