I have so much sweet corn that I am sharing with my Amish neighbors. Their boys are helping me cut and split wood so I keep them happy. I am still picking on the 2 early rows and have a bunch more coming on.

Nothing beats a mess of sweet corn Muleman.. but you need some purple hull peas, sliced tomatoes and fried okra on the side .. :) bordercollie
 
Hi Bakerg, Zone 5 is better than it could be. If you can grow watermelons, maybe you could try some okra- a good old southern fare but needs some hot weather to do much. I love that stuff fried or , just sliced , it makes gumbo some kinda good. This is a picture of some tomatoes that came up volunteer years ago in the chicken yard and I have saved the seeds every year since. The are small like a ping pong ball but good ,very little cracking and grow in clusters of 5 or 6. They take a licking and just keep on producing. I call these Trudy tomatoes after my late Mama. Saving the seed is a good practice if you ever have a non hybrid that you like and want to make sure you have the seed in the future. :) My okra an old family cowhorn type that I save seed yearly on..-over 6 ' tall in places- I get over a gallon of baby okra (1-3")every day for weeks and weeks and .... bordercollie

I don't understand why someone would take a truck and make it useless. there is a brandenew dually riding around two that is bagged like this truck who ever owns it took a 50k dollar truck and put another 15k in mods and paint and came up with a useless duramax
 
Peanut,
Sorry you feel that way, we GM spend tons of money doing competitive testing and durability on our Duramax and competitive big 3 engine's.
Durability run's are wide open throttle full load for 10000 hrs.
The Duramax far surpasses the competitors with no oil consumption or failures and much quieter. The king of Diesel's
 
I think Peanut was referring to taking a perfectly good working mans Dually and turning it into a cruise night cream puff...not the Duramax quality.
 
... and that's what I intended to show when I posted it. The idiot in the picture took a good (and expensive) truck and trashed it - for nothing.

Nothing wrong with the truck, just with the owner.
 
OK,
The lowered vehicle appears to be an S-10 which is common in California.
The left vehicle is the full sized Chevy pickup, and again is common to lift and install larger/higher profile tires for many reasons, as we do our RTV's.
I lived in California after returning from oversea's for 1 year, and lowered vehicles were common then.
All be it, the Duramax is king, sorry I interpolated this wrong.
 
Lots of lowered vehicles here. And all late-model Jeeps are owned by girls. Lots more posers of all kinds here!

I've never seen one of those fancy Jeeps up in the woods. A co-worker who had a 4x4 Toyota 4-Runner wouldn't drive another co-worker home because 'the gravel in his driveway gets stuck in my tires'. A HS boyfriend of my daughter wouldn't carry anything in the bed of his (lowered) pickup because it might crumple the carpet lining ... that never saw the light of day, under the tonneau cover.

Don't get me started about BMW drivers!

Posers like these aren't the majority here, but there are plenty of them. Enough to annoy everybody else.
 
We need to ensure our lowered pick-ups have sno-tars up here in the north..:wink:

Thanks for your concern!

We're fine here. We're a couple hundred miles NW of the fire. Just getting a little of the smoke occasionally.
