I'm 48 and my life is pretty awesome. Watching my parents health decline sucks, but I guess that's a normal phase of life at this age.

I currently have the 2.7L V6 in my '24 F-150.

I have a 2017 F150 with this engine and it's been a good truck. It does what I need it to do. Everything else on the truck would be falling apart before I ever put 200k on it, much less 300. I drive like 7500 miles a year these days :lol:
I took a day off to watch the LSU NCAA tourney game several years back. I was at the bar at Hooters. Some guy sat down next to me and we started shooting the shite. We figured out we knew some of the same people.

I just happened to notice him post on the Rant and sort of saw the context. I went and found the post.

It was early, like 11am. I was having a few beers on my day off. Turns out this baw was having a few beers on his lunch break :lol:
Hard to see us making a playoff run with this many injuries. It is what it is I guess.

re: Coaches poll...LSU is No. 11

I'm good with it, although Ole Miss should be 11 and we should be 12. It doesn't really matter at this point in the season anyway.

He's right though. The difference is the SECs depth. We might have 1-2 weakling teams in any given year, but it's a damn dog fight even when you are playing the #10 team in the league.

I think we might see a 9-3 SEC champion soon.
Kid grew up in Georgia but his family is from Louisiana. His dad said LSU was his dream school. Maybe he'll be a 3-4 year kid because he's awesome. Reminds me of Booger.

I think we are watching 2 middle of the conference teams duke it out. 9-3, 8-4 type of seasons
They are running it down our throats this drive.

Our offense isn't that good unfortunately. I like Jones, but Leavitt ain't it. He's a great athlete, but not at all a polished passer.
PP7 made $113 million in his pro career. I'm sure he's proud of his wife, but her income probably isn't moving the needle too much.

I think he'll eventually get into Canton, but he might have a little wait.
They are going to run out of juice stuck in traffic on the new bridge.
Yeah, I can too, and I'll buy one eventually again, but I'll keep my 9 yr old truck as long as it'll last. I haven't had a note in 5 years.

It makes no logical sense and yet a truck is the only thing I’m interested in driving

Same. It's all I've ever driven. I might would buy a fun car too, but it would be a waste of money, and my college bills are pretty damn expensive.

I use mine way more than a couple of times per year though.

Gordon & Sandifer? If so they've been around forever and are very reputable.

Lemoine's Body Shop on South Choctaw is solid.

You get a little break if you don't have to use private schools for awhile until they start driving. When they are in college it's probably worse than the daycare days :lol:
Drop them off at this place called The Purple Cow. They seem to be a pretty decent charity.
I'm hoping my 2017 F150 will last me a few more years until I can get the kids through college.
