I agree with this post!

If you agree, then you must be a pussy, too. I don't see you posting
your real "information". What's your address again?

Obviously they blurted out much personal information as if they were
chatting on Facebook. What fools they are.

I've never, ever seen any expert advice saying that you should post your
personal information in a newsgroup, but I've seen many, many instances
where experts advise not to. As far as laymen, Harry and Don are the
only two I've ever seen that thinks that posting personal information to
a newsgroup that anyone in the world has access to is a prudent thing to
do.- Hide quoted text -

Do some reading, moron. THIS particular newsgroup is not the problem.
You do realize that anyone, molesters, burglars, murderers, anyone has
access to newsgroups, don't you? Yet you and your boyfriend Harry thinks
it's the logical intelligent thing to give your personal information
out? That's the height of stupidity, Suckling Don the Coward.

I can't imagine someone as stupid as Harry sharing with *the world* the
fact that he has a large stash of weapons and ammo, and that he keeps
some of the more valuable pieces in his floor safe along with pieces of
gold. With All the gangs and the KKK so close to him, he's just inviting
a home invasion.

Harry's need to be the BMOC far outweighs his claimed intelligence.


His BMOC on campus days ended over 40 years ago. The fact that there
were few MOC in those days probably made him stand out from the crowd.

You sure sling around the word "man" lightly. He's anything but a man. A
real man wouldn't have to lie about his life, his accomplishments, his
parent's accomplishments, his wife's accomplishments. A real man
wouldn't have to call names and insult people that he disagrees with. A
real man wouldn't bet somebody, then back out on the bet. A real man
wouldn't accuse someone of incest just because a father goes camping
with his family. A real man wouldn't accuse someone of ANYTHING without
some proof of such. Harry is a coward, and that's all he is.

Herring bought a truck four times the size he needed to tow his

D'oh.

not
only gain on the braking factor, but also the pulling response
behind
a duramax is like the truck isn't pulling anything. Better safety,
better economy, less wear and tear and less carbon footprint.

good decision.

Depends on how often and how far one tows one's camper, eh?

You freakin' idiot, it makes no difference how often and how far he tows
the camper. If he tows it one mile or one million miles, he's still
getting better mileage.- Hide quoted text -

Yiikes... are you really that stupid?
If Johnny only towed his trailer/boat 5 miles from his house to his
favourite campground or launch... how could you justify the extra
expense of the big diesel truck compared to the useable Highlander,
that he already owned?
If you would only quit playing with your 'little head' and give your
'big head' a shake, things might make more sense.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Now it is the expense of the truck. My diesel truck gets 19 mpg highway,
cost $45k new. My 99' Ford Expedition got about 15.5 highway and cost
$42k.
My wife's 2009 Venza cost $36k and gets about 24 highway. If you can
afford
to buy an expensive vehicle you buy it because you like it. My friend has
a
Lexus wagon so he can haul his 2 Rottweiler's, he wanted another Audi but
they did not make the wagon type when he bought. He gets 13mpg on
average.
So just because the vehicle is smaller does not mean it gets better
mileage.
Why would somebody buy a Porsche Cayenne when they could buy the same car
body as a VW tourag. They may be able to afford a luxury car. Just
because
you can not afford a better car or better boat, do not knock others

I say you can not afford better ****! You bitch about a **** poor pension

pittance. If you did not judge others by your or your sons love of
alcoholic beverages, you would be both smarter and richer. Especially with

Toyota makes very good vehicles, even the RAV4. It's no truck
however, not even a proper SUV. Most SUVs will plow snow if called
upon. If you're happy with your wimpy little electric snow blower,
that's fine with me but it means that you don't get much real snow.
Here's a picture of "real snow" from my old home town:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fultonles.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake-effect_snow
Depends on the year.
If more than 6-8 inches are on the ground, I use the electric Toro
somewhat like a shovel... skimming off the top 4 or 5 inches of snow
and then put it on the ground to finish the job.
In the winter we seem to avoid a lot of snow here in the city due to
the Atlantic Ocean's effect.
Downside... not the best place to own a snowmobile... unless you
trailer it a couple hundred miles to Cape Breton or next door to New
Brunswick.
Is this what you have Dimwitty? Technically it's not a snow blower, it's
a power shovel. A wimpy tool for a wimpy guy.

one was unexpected this fall.
I may be down to ask your advice on how to weasel out of my

a few more years yet.

Duh!
That is a 1st generation model.
My model is more like your wife's Highlander in size.
Sorry to disappoint you but my colour is a bronze/brown..........
pyrite mica to be exact.
Herring bought a truck four times the size he needed to tow his boat.
D'oh.
And/or his camper. There's a good reason why too. Pulling his camper
with the Highlander the fuel mileage was anywhere from 8-12 mpg. the
diesel pickup gets double the mileage pulling either one, plus you not
only gain on the braking factor, but also the pulling response behind
a duramax is like the truck isn't pulling anything. Better safety,
better economy, less wear and tear and less carbon footprint.
good decision.
Depends on how often and how far one tows one's camper, eh?
You freakin' idiot, it makes no difference how often and how far he tows
the camper. If he tows it one mile or one million miles, he's still
getting better mileage.- Hide quoted text -

Yiikes... are you really that stupid?
If Johnny only towed his trailer/boat 5 miles from his house to his
favourite campground or launch... how could you justify the extra
expense of the big diesel truck compared to the useable Highlander,
that he already owned?
If you would only quit playing with your 'little head' and give your
'big head' a shake, things might make more sense.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Now it is the expense of the truck. My diesel truck gets 19 mpg highway,
cost $45k new. My 99' Ford Expedition got about 15.5 highway and cost $42k.
My wife's 2009 Venza cost $36k and gets about 24 highway. If you can afford
to buy an expensive vehicle you buy it because you like it. My friend has a
Lexus wagon so he can haul his 2 Rottweiler's, he wanted another Audi but
they did not make the wagon type when he bought. He gets 13mpg on average.
So just because the vehicle is smaller does not mean it gets better mileage.
Why would somebody buy a Porsche Cayenne when they could buy the same car
body as a VW tourag. They may be able to afford a luxury car. Just because
you can not afford a better car or better boat, do not knock others choices.- Hide quoted text -

Hey, iSnotty.... I've had a couple of big expenses lately...at least
one was unexpected this fall.
I may be down to ask your advice on how to weasel out of my
obligations. I really don't want to dip into my retirement savings for
a few more years yet.
Would you share your expertise in this matter?

Hey, Don, I'm thinking of making my yard a junk strewn hovel like yours.
I may by asking you for advice, because it appears that you are an
expert. I'm also thinking of shipping my mother off to a nursing home
because I don't want the hassle of taking care of her. I understand that
you have expertise in that as well. Other than that, I don't want the
other thing you are an expert at, and that his being Harry's personal
butt plug, Suckling Don the Coward.

Duh!
That is a 1st generation model.
My model is more like your wife's Highlander in size.
Sorry to disappoint you but my colour is a
bronze/brown..........
pyrite mica to be exact.

Herring bought a truck four times the size he needed to tow his
boat.
D'oh.

And/or his camper. There's a good reason why too. Pulling his
camper
with the Highlander the fuel mileage was anywhere from 8-12 mpg.
the
diesel pickup gets double the mileage pulling either one, plus you
not
only gain on the braking factor, but also the pulling response
behind
a duramax is like the truck isn't pulling anything. Better
safety,
better economy, less wear and tear and less carbon footprint.

good decision.

Depends on how often and how far one tows one's camper, eh?

You freakin' idiot, it makes no difference how often and how far he
tows
the camper. If he tows it one mile or one million miles, he's still
getting better mileage.- Hide quoted text -

Yiikes... are you really that stupid?
If Johnny only towed his trailer/boat 5 miles from his house to his
favourite campground or launch... how could you justify the extra
expense of the big diesel truck compared to the useable Highlander,
that he already owned?
If you would only quit playing with your 'little head' and give your
'big head' a shake, things might make more sense.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Now it is the expense of the truck. My diesel truck gets 19 mpg
highway,
cost $45k new. My 99' Ford Expedition got about 15.5 highway and cost
$42k.
My wife's 2009 Venza cost $36k and gets about 24 highway. If you can
afford
to buy an expensive vehicle you buy it because you like it. My friend
has
a
Lexus wagon so he can haul his 2 Rottweiler's, he wanted another Audi
but
they did not make the wagon type when he bought. He gets 13mpg on
average.
So just because the vehicle is smaller does not mean it gets better
mileage.
Why would somebody buy a Porsche Cayenne when they could buy the same
car
body as a VW tourag. They may be able to afford a luxury car. Just
because
you can not afford a better car or better boat, do not knock others
choices.- Hide quoted text -

I say you can not afford better ****! You bitch about a **** poor pension
from a government corporation. In other words the taxpayers pay your
pittance. If you did not judge others by your or your sons love of
alcoholic beverages, you would be both smarter and richer. Especially
with

Duh!
What part of 100%employee funded pension didn't you understand?
The Corp used to contribute slightly more than half.. but didn't do so
for years.
I could have bought a Ford F150 basic truck or a Chev/GMC equivalent
for about 7 grand less than my RAV4 cost.
That is a regular cab and 8 foot box with 2WD, 6 cyl engine, auto
transmission + air conditioning.

Yeah, but would it have been pink?

You should have done it. Then you'd be able to tow something.

BTW, I found a cover for that thing that will match the color.

A "truck" can, fairly, be judged on its ability to tow a boat. A RAV4
is a girly "truck" suitable for hauling girly boats. What "truck" has
a maximum towing capacity of about 3500 pounds? Maybe a really small
Bayliner?

I am considering buying a Cu****er 28 inboard single Diesel cruiser.
260 HP Yanmar six, usual amenaties. Thirty three feet with the pulpet
and swim platform. A telescoping ladder over the bow to access a
beach. Probably close to 9000 pounds fully equipped with AC rev cycle
and a generator, as well as full fuel and water. Standard bow and
stern thrusters, optional wireless remote and optiional cockpit
mounted wheel and throttle. Hold it against the fenders with the
thrusters while you untie the lines. The head has a flimsy glass bowl
for a sink, attached at the bottom, not recessed and sure to break
right off if anyone puts any weight on it. The head door will not open
fully if the V berth is made up. So what do you need to haul it?

Do you really need air conditioning in Halifax? * I'd just roll the

I Did just that for my first 30 years of driving.
Got to the point where I'd get sleepy on long highway trips with the

D'oh.

And/or his camper. There's a good reason why too. Pulling his
camper
with the Highlander the fuel mileage was anywhere from 8-12 mpg.
the
diesel pickup gets double the mileage pulling either one, plus you
not
only gain on the braking factor, but also the pulling response
behind
a duramax is like the truck isn't pulling anything. *Better
safety,
better economy, less wear and tear and less carbon footprint.

good decision.

Depends on how often and how far one tows one's camper, eh?

You freakin' idiot, it makes no difference how often and how far he
tows
the camper. If he tows it one mile or one million miles, he's still
getting better mileage.- Hide quoted text -

Yiikes... are you really that stupid?
If Johnny only towed his trailer/boat 5 miles from his house to his
favourite campground or launch... how could you justify the extra
expense of the big diesel truck compared to the useable Highlander,
that he already owned?
If you would only quit playing with your 'little head' and give your
'big head' a shake, things might make more sense.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Now it is the expense of the truck. *My diesel truck gets 19 mpg
highway,
cost $45k new. *My 99' Ford Expedition got about 15.5 highway and cost
$42k.
My wife's 2009 Venza cost $36k and gets about 24 highway. *If you can
afford
to buy an expensive vehicle you buy it because you like it. *My friend
has
a
Lexus wagon so he can haul his 2 Rottweiler's, he wanted another Audi
but
they did not make the wagon type when he bought. *He gets 13mpg on
average.
So just because the vehicle is smaller does not mean it gets better
mileage.
Why would somebody buy a Porsche Cayenne when they could buy the same
car
body as a VW tourag. *They may be able to afford a luxury car. *Just
because
you can not afford a better car or better boat, do not knock others
choices.- Hide quoted text -

Duh!
What part of 100%employee funded pension didn't you understand?
The Corp used to contribute slightly more than half.. but didn't do so
for years.
I could have bought a Ford F150 basic truck or a Chev/GMC equivalent
for about 7 grand less than my RAV4 cost.
That is a regular cab and 8 foot box with 2WD, 6 cyl engine, auto
transmission + air conditioning.

Yeah, but would it have been pink?

You should have done it. Then you'd be able to tow something.

BTW, I found a cover for that thing that will match the color.

Cute, huh?

Not everyone feels the need to tour america towing a mini-motel room
behind them.

And not everyone gives a **** what you think. As a matter of fact,
hardly anyone except Suckling Don, your personal butt plug does.- Hide quoted text -

Do you really need air conditioning in Halifax? I'd just roll the
windows down on those few warm days you get.

I Did just that for my first 30 years of driving.
Got to the point where I'd get sleepy on long highway trips with the
windows closed and the sun streaming in..
now I feel that I do need air conditioning those half to a full dozen
days a year.


It seems to me that Toyota would have A/C as a standard item on its SUVs
sold in North America and perhaps elsewhere, too.

Pssst, your personal butt plug, Suckling Don the Coward was talking

The tow rating of any of the heavy duty diesel dualies is generally
well over 10,000 lbs. One of my neighbors claims 14,000 lbs for his
GMC. You might not even need a dualie but they certainly tow better.
You'll also need a heavy duty 3 axle trailer, preferably aluminum to
keep your total weight down. If going any distance I'd try to
minimize the amount of fuel and water on the boat and opt for disk
brakes on every axle.

Perhaps, California Swill, you could get a consulting appointment with
the Canadian government and show it how to skirt the laws on hiring
illegals at shape-ups to perform home repair tasks. That way, you have
no employer social security payments, no tax records, no unemployment
comp payments, no workers' comp payments.

That is how you did it, right?

A "truck" can, fairly, be judged on its ability to tow a boat. A RAV4
is a girly "truck" suitable for hauling girly boats. What "truck" has
a maximum towing capacity of about 3500 pounds? Maybe a really small
Bayliner?

I am considering buying a Cu****er 28 inboard single Diesel cruiser.
260 HP Yanmar six, usual amenaties. Thirty three feet with the pulpet
and swim platform. A telescoping ladder over the bow to access a
beach. Probably close to 9000 pounds fully equipped with AC rev cycle
and a generator, as well as full fuel and water. Standard bow and
stern thrusters, optional wireless remote and optiional cockpit
mounted wheel and throttle. Hold it against the fenders with the
thrusters while you untie the lines. The head has a flimsy glass bowl
for a sink, attached at the bottom, not recessed and sure to break
right off if anyone puts any weight on it. The head door will not open
fully if the V berth is made up. So what do you need to haul it?

A truck. I'd look at a diesel Silverado. Something like this:

Dualies are fuel hogs, and don't add that much to towing capacity.
