You would take out a 7.3 powerstroke? Seriously? Got 2 of them now and absolutely bulletproof! Much better than the 6.0, 6.7 ever were and they pull the enclosed trailers and cars just fine. Had 2 previously that had 500k and still going strong today, we just wanted some lower mileage ones so one has 170k and the other a 1st year 1994.5 7.3 with 112k. Now the early year 7.3 weren’t very good but those 1994.5-2003 were really good. Also by the way, the 7.3l powerstrokes go for a lot of money! I’ve been offered 10k for mine and wouldn’t come close to taking that, unless we go with a Toterhome I’d never get rid of it.

Yes, 1st thing I'd do is pull it out of there. It may be worth selling it, Idk. It may be a ragged out 700kmi engine for all I know. They are good engines, I just don't like them in this truck.

Norse Mythology

I bought that one and never finished it but I have read both Eddas. I figured if I wanted to know about Norse Mythology I'd go to the source, but there's a LOT about the Norse belief system that is totally lost to us. We only know a small part of those tales and what we do have was transcribed by a converted Christian several hundred years after Christianity took hold in Iceland.

I do like that some of them are preserved in our day names. Friday is named for Freya which is the planet Venus. In other cultures Friday is also named for however they refer to Venus. Thursday is Thor's Day which is Jupiter.

If it's not a guy on this list, it will be someone worse.


Only on a Florida message board does a mod have to post this:

"Cut out the violent rhetoric. Saying someone should be harmed because of the job they've done as a head coach or administrator is absolutely out of line."

Is it just me, or does Shane Beamer resent his father's reputation and having to live in its shadow, while trying to put on fake smiles and saying he looks up to him? Just a vibe that I've noticed that may or may not be my imagination.

And would that make him want the VT job, or hate the thought of it?

Oh! And I plan to go back and re-read the Circle of Time series.

That's one piece of Literature that isn't a waste of time. Don't bother watching the series if you even can anymore. The author behind those books was trying to awaken people. It's a beautiful piece of Literature. You know, most of our old stories are about enlightenment, we just don't know how to interpret them anymore. They get labeled as "Mythology" and people think they were meant to be taken literally rather than what they are: allegory.

Fixed, by the way. WoT...

Also, I didn't make it through season 1. I don't hate things simply because they are "woke", but everything doesn't have to become "woke". I'll just leave it at that, as I'm staying out of the PF for a while on purpose.

I don't believe that at all. I think he and his father are very close. I just think Shane has the better job already.
