San Diego Tuna Trip - July 2027
Actually leaning toward going all the way up to a 2.5 day now. Whats another $1,000 in the grand scheme of things. Talked with my friend and he is over the moon with the idea. Bucket list item for him and sounds like it would be a great father son bonding time for them also. My son mentioned...- npaden

utv bed racks for off road,how tall is too tall?
I'm pushing up near the max payload on my truck pulling my 5th wheel. Actually scaled it and my truck was a bit heavier empty than I thought it was. Little mods that don't seem like they add any weight actually add up to a few hundred pounds before you know it and some of the junk that sits...- npaden

13'6" is the height limit for DOT. Like Chingon mentioned, the issue is more likely your weight than your height. 1,800lbs of SxS plus 500lbs of frame and ramps plus 1,000lbs of tongue weight from your trailer puts you at 3,300lbs on the rear axle and that's without anyone in there with you...- npaden

San Diego Tuna Trip - July 2027
Okay, had some stuff change for my next summer vacation plans so leaning toward doing a quick trip to San Diego to do a Blue Fin Tuna hunt. This would be a family trip with the wife and son and his soon to be wife. Trying to decide if a 1.5 day charter is going to give us a good chance to both...- npaden

Ukraine / Russia
So what exactly does wealth inequality in the U.S. have to do with the Ukraine/Russia war? The rant about whether or not there are more soldiers enlisting at least had a military slant to it. Talking about wealth inequality in the U.S. is completely off topic.- npaden

Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
Thanks. I got your PM and will try to give you a call soon. Lots of balls in the air right now but should be able to carve some time out to give you a call before too long. -
Ukraine / Russia
When this thread was started I don't think any of us expected it to still be going 4+ years later. It really seems to be a combination of how poorly equipped and trained the Russian military really was and how innovative the Ukrainian's have shown themselves to be. It truly is sad the amazing...- npaden

No. Paducah, Texas. Not much of a town but I think the county seat of Cottle County.- npaden

School me up on buying a 4 to 6 ton excavator and mulching head
Had it delivered up in Colorado yesterday and decided I should probably get familiar with it on flatter ground before messing around too much up there and actually need it for some stuff I want to do at my new place in Paducah so went ahead and pulled it home last night. Stopped on the way...- npaden

AI tips, tricks, faults, and failures
I haven’t been impressed with any of them for photo editing. Can’t follow even simple instructions. Gemini was not impressed with the photo editing software that it has available to it. If prefers to just use text based drawings over trying to create an image that is actually close to realistic.- npaden

AI tips, tricks, faults, and failures
In many ways Ai is brutally honest. I’ve been using Gemini pretty extensively on a personal basis and I asked it the best engine to use for a CPA firm and it said generally CoPilot but we might need Claude for some more data intensive things but that Gemini and Grok shouldn’t really even be a...- npaden

Dual Sport Dirtbike
I’ve gone from a Suzuki DR650 to a Yamaha WR250R and now have a Husqvarna FE510. Dropped weight of the bike with each upgrade and about doubled the power on the last one. Each upgrade I feel has allowed me to do better on the tricky stuff. Added a Rekluse clutch to the Husky and that was a... -
AI tips, tricks, faults, and failures
On my tire purchase today it gave me a script and told me I should offer Discount Tire $1,275 for a specific set of tires for my wife's car. I didn't follow the script perfectly and asked the salesman to give me his best price (this was after he had already given me pretty close to a full...- npaden

AI tips, tricks, faults, and failures
There for sure is a learning curve on each of them on figuring out how they like to be asked/told what to do. I'm just the old gray haired guy looking over the young guys shoulder on the claude stuff but it just takes over his computer and does a bunch of stuff. We have moved it to an off...- npaden

AI tips, tricks, faults, and failures
We are thinking it is going to take the job of a full time data extraction and manipulation employee that we have. It can merge multiple PDFs into a single Excel spreadsheet and prove the totals and end up making some complex calculations with very little guidance other than just telling it...- npaden
