My points are always valid. Yaddie has been consistently wrong throughout this thread. He has gotten the years available wrong. He has gotten which bed sizes were offered wrong. I'm not sure, after reading his posts, if he has ever used a pickup truck for its intended purpose or if he is able to recognize a pickup truck when he sees one. |

Most of us see it as meaning room for socker/hockey gear, skis, camping equipment, and the ability to get it to recreation areas. Some, including our protagonist, seem to think it means 'sports car'. Perhaps we need to re-visit this in a new thread to get the ball rolling again. |

Wife unit has a Yukon XL. Nothing "sport" about it. It's basically a short bed quad cab pickup with an integrated cap on the back. Runs and drives well - particularly since I eliminated that crap about shutting off the cylinders. Tires wear flat. Every time I think of rotating them, I look at them and ask myself, "Why?". 2014 - last year of the GMT900.

A "yard" of steel (a term nobody used or needed in toolmaking) would weigh about . . . holy shit, I used to do this in roughly 1/3 pound per cubic inch for work. Gotta multiply that out into a yard. 12 x 12 x 12" = a cubic foot or 1728 cubic inches, times .3 for steel equals about 518 pounds. 27 cubic feet in a yard, so a cubic yard of steel is roughly 14,000 pounds if my math is right. This is why you see road tractors hauling a flat bed with a relatively small load of steel on it. It's maxed out weight-wise. |

Fifty pound bags is how they come. But when I am unloading and stacking them I carry two at a time. |

Well, you sure don't know anything about pickup trucks. As evidenced by this thread.

I see many of the same out here. Only they live in crappy apartments. It's not all about Yadkin all the time.....at least not yet until we find out if Doug will make it back or not. |

150 feet square is not 150 square feet.
Just passing through… |

If the property were square, it would have sides measuring 147 feet six inches (roughly). Hence, my comment that it is less than 150 feet square. Can't even mess around with a pitching wedge with property that small. Believe me, I know what an acre is. |
