People don't really travel to visit rural farm communities in my state. Towns of a few hundred people. Why would this virus show up in new areas now, where there are no new people added to that environment.

Doesn't have be just introduced by people.  If stores in those farm communities receive goods by trucks, the virus can be introduced that way.  I heard the virus can survive on boxes and equipment.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

Because there is always new people added to that environment, delivering mail, food, fuel, just to name a few things.

Sure, well you all can stay looked up waiting for bigfoot to arrive as long as you like.As I have stated before no one is prohibiting you from doing so.You could also move to China if you like being locked up, its a regular thing there.

Well, we just explained how it would be introduced in that small town.  And guess, what, unlike BigFoot, this can and will wind up showing up in small town Minnesota.

 

And when it comes through your town, and the people with an attitude like yours, but that also happen to get very ill and require hospitalization, they will do a burnout getting to the local hospital, and when it's past capacity, they won't just go back home and say "oh, well, that's the price of freedom".  They'll ****** and moan and complain that someone should have done something, and that gov't needs to rush resources to their town to help everyone.

Yeah you're right, this is not China.  I did see where some people were being locked into their homes.  But this is America, and no one is locking you in your house, are they?  Of course not, so take your butt outside and see how that works out for you. 

 

My initial reply was to your uninformed comment about how the virus can show up in rural America.

Well, with that attitude, I am sure something bad will happen....

 

We have a tsunami plan in Washington if you would like to borrow it.

might as well toss that in too, this sure is a good way to teach people they don't need oil, cars, planes etc. Turns out you only need government checks, Mcdonalds, and grocery stores. Don't sweat working, robots and autonomous trucks will have that covered too.

That part of life is not will not change anytime soon, but I did have McDonalds today, and went to the grocery store, but I was getting paid for the holiday.

 

As luck would have, my job is considered essential, only time I have missed so far is when I had a really bad cold a couple of weeks ago. 

 

I did see last night that the race card is on it's way to the forefront, this will only get uglier before it gets any better.

This will be a huge deal until November and then somehow it will magically disapear. There will conveniently be no presidential debate to expose that a certain candidate belongs in assisted living.

Its gonna be a sad November again. Another day of mourning for the left because things didn't go their way. It's clear they are already planning to take the L though, trying to jam a green new deal and the release of all ICE detainees into a relief bill for a pandemic. Those items are going to be very critical to help get through this crisis ?

Just remember, COVID-19 doesn't care if you're left, right, centered, whatever.

I see today in the New York Times an API story that says COVID-19 is now the leading cause of death in America. Takes more lives per day. It's just getting warmed up. Still think it's just a bad cold? 

 

Question for the majority. Why are you still engaging this gray fellow? Blocked him a week ago.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
