I’m on my 3rd Ram. The first 2 were eco diesels and got great mpg. Averaged close 24 mpg for 2 trucks. Just bought a 2025 Ram limited, fully loaded last August. Got the twin turbo hurricane engine. Got 22 mpg on road in the warmer months and 18 to 19 this winter. Had the split tailgate and didn’t think I’d like it, but it is awesome. Use it more than the conventional tailgate. As for problems on my 3 rams. I had to replace a battery on one and besides new tires I haven’t had any at all. I might be one of the lucky ones

I just bought a 2025 Ram limited. My insurance is $920 per year. I had a 2020 Ram Laramie eco diesel. The new truck premium went up $40 per year. I go through a small insurance agency. He checks new insurance companies every year to keep our rates low. We have been with the same insurance company for the last 8 years.

Just went through this process last week. Went to a dealer to order a truck because we couldn’t find one online with the options we wanted. While we were there we found another truck that was far more expensive than what we would have ordered. Because the dealer had almost $10000 off and Ram put another $3000 off until September 3,it was a no brainer to get the truck on the lot. We saved a lot of money and who knows if we would have gotten the same amount of money on our trading later

I had both my shoulder and wrist surgery done at the same time. I did almost everything right handed and if I wanted to keep bowling I switched to left handed. It wasn’t pretty at first but I continued to improve and after several months I was bowling better then I did right handed. I also switched to casting left handed when fishing. In open water fishing it was easy. But trying to hit a target next to a dock or tree was tough. Most of the time I was tangled up. After a lot of practice I got almost as good as right handed. I also went to physical therapy for 3 months on my shoulder. Insurance would only pay 15 visits, but eventually most of the pain went away. I still bowl and fish left handed.

I use Fenwick for myself and when the rest of my family fish with me they use Ugly Sticks. Had too many broken rods by their inexperience. Lol!!!

Something similar happened to me several years ago. I ended up having to pay my 500 deductible. The insurance co went after the other party but they wouldn’t pay. I took them to small claims court and win a judgement against them. They still wouldn’t pay, so I got a lien put on their property. About 5 years later I got a letter from their attorney asking me to drop the lien. I replied as soon as I am paid for my $500 I will have it released. A week later I got paid. They had tried to sell the property I had the lien put against, but couldn’t until I got paid. It probably cost them more for the attorney then if they would have paid my deductible.

I cleaned up my boat and I store it in my heated garage that is attached to the house, so it is already to go. I told my wife im going to go fishing tomorrow. Went out put my rods in the boat and forgot I brought my prop in for repair. I had a spare but sold it a few months ago and didnt have another.

I used to hunt in northwestern Wi on a farmers land. I was the only person allowed on the land and he had the perimeter of all his land posted. He had a field that had a small driveway opening with a fence across it that clearly stated no trespassing on it. The second day of deer hunting came and the fence was down and a truck was blocking the entrance. Instead of looking for the person or calling the police he got his tractor and manure spreader and filled the pickup truck completely full of sh$t. I sure would of like to see the look on the trespassers face when he came out of the woods. Karma!!!

It would melt the brushes

I found a few WX 2060 boats for sale in the 2014 year with far less options priced from $46,000 to $49,000. I would not be afraid to list it for $55,000 or so You can always go down

I have the Eskimo inferno and can still load it in my Ram truck. I am 70. I simply put the front of the tub against the tailgate and grab the backend and lift and push at the same time. Works great. As far as fishability. I drill 3 hole. The middle for the locator and the other 2 for rods. I put them at a slight angle. I use my shorter rod in one and the longer in the farther hole. I position my Buddy heater on top of the middle hole. I can still see the locator and still have plenty of room. The chair is very comfortable.

Make yourself a smitty sled. Look on YouTube. A lot easier on you

This didnt happen to me but a friend of mine. In the same year he lost 2 coleman lanterns down the hole, and while he was trying to catch the second latern his cell phone went down the hole He never recovered any of the items

Your going to need a bigger bump board

Caught one last year. Same as you. Saw a mark up high and it nailed it. my rod is 28 inches

I’m going to shovel until I die. Lol!!! I’m 69 and I either blow or shovel 275 feet of sidewalk. I also have a 4 car garage with the driveway I also do. Moderation is the key. Where I used to rest 1 or 2 times, I rest when I start to breath harder. Just use common sense

My son in law works at a facility that requires he be tested each week. He and the rest of the family have been vaccinated. My daughter and him both had the booster shots. The 2 kids didnt. He was tested 90 times so far. All negative. Just before coming to our place for xmas he got a call he tested positive. No symptoms at all. I went to a Walgreens and got the in home test for all 4 of them. All of the tests were negative. The next day they went to a drive thru testing sight and had the pcr test. Both him and his daughter tested positive
for covid. She had a runny nose for her only symptom. The in home test was 50% correct.

My son in law gets tested every week for covid, due to his job. 90 negative tests. They were on there way to our house for Xmas and got a call from work he just tested positive for covid. Going to celebrate Xmas at a later date

I’ve had the inferno for a few years and the poles slide really easy with no problems so far. With it opened up to its widest I can have 2 holes to fish out of plus my locator and mr heater there is plenty of room. It gets pretty toasty in there even with the heater on low. I usually take my jacket off. If it is sunny out you don’t need any heat at all

Make sure you and your wife are drinking plenty of fluids and get rest. Force yourself to eat because you will not feel like eating. My wife and I are both getting over covid. She wasn’t hungry and didn’t eat enough. She got so weak I ended up taking her to er. Spent 3 days in hospital hooked up to ivs and taking steroids. I am just starting to feel almost normal after a month. Her quarantine ends today. Funny thing is she never drank much milk. She craves it now. 2 glasses a day. Good luck to you and your family

I received 2 tackle boxes from both of my grandpas. I was fortunate to be able to donate all the old lures like lazy Ike’s, river runts, daredevils(still in original packages) and a lot of other lures to our small local museum. These tackle boxes had lures etc from the 1940s through the 1960s. I knew I wouldn’t want to lose them and I can still see them from time to time and other people could enjoy them also. I remember one daredevil still in the original package was $1.98.

I have that set up on my current 2020 Ranger 620. I used all the time when I lived up north on shallow launches. Since moving to Madison the Ramps are deep enough that I don’t need them

I can also attest to the Rapala quality. Had a new x rap and had a hard strike. Lost the fish and when I went to check the x rap the back treble hook was gone and the loop where it hooked into was broken. Had a new number 7 shad rap and was fighting a fish and then nothing. Finished reeling in and all I had left was the bill. The rest of the body was completely gone. Go figure. My older shad raps I never had a problem

x3 on Ramsey boat center I got mine from The Boat Center in Chippewa Falls. Great people to deal with

My birthday is dec 18. My wife’s is dec 26. My son in law and his son is dec 29. My other son in laws is dec 30. I have another cousin who’s birthday is dec 31

Waypoints, trails etc ate stored on locator unless downloaded to your card. If you downloaded it to card just transfer to computer and download it onto it. Once on computer download it into the new card

Live in Wisconsin. Don’t go out for the opener. Too many idiots on the lake. Wait for following Monday to fish

Gee I just moved closer to you Dave and you didnt invite me. LOL!!! Nice job, I never tried that type of fishing. Just another one of many ways to catch eyes.

My last boat, according to my wife. She said that 3 boats ago. 2020 Ranger 620fs powered by Mercury 250 pro xs. Lowrance 12 HD’s live at console and 9 HD’s live at bow. Min Kota 12 foot talon. Min Kota ulterra 36 volt trolling motor. All being towed by 2020 Ram eco diesel

My previous ranger was connecting by a hydraulic cable. After about 9 years it seized up and didn’t function right. Because I was getting a new ranger in 2020 I didn’t want to put to much money back into it. I put an Atwood or panther kicker steering kit on. It cost about $30 or so. Worked fine
