Cool is fine, actually Fall and early Winter is my favorite time of year to pour, less stress on the concrete and on me and my crew as well. Things are not so stressed and hurried.

Drizzle, not so much. After it's finished drizzle or rain is fine. Actually good. Green concrete has little strength, and the longer it's allowed to cure in lower temps makes the end product stronger and better.

 

Off to take the BIL to the airport.

Have a good day fellers...

 

Once again the TOAK offers information, at no charge, one would be hard pressed to find.

I flipped on the TV and have made a decision. Brooke Baldwin on CNN is definitely on the list of TV news hotties.

 

We now interrupt your regularly scheduled news hottie........

I must be sick.... I've contemplated buying a different truck - AGAIN!!! Yes, I'm nuts.

So I have been searching the interwebs and found a new 2015 Chevy 2500 LT CC 4WD 6.0 gasser. It is rather loaded, with no leather.

Now while I love my GMC, I wonder if a little more payload, a little more motor, and a little more braking power isn't the right move. Currently I tow a 27' travel trailer and it weighs around 5,000 pounds. And I carry 6 total occupants when camping. Most of my camping is local (within 100 miles) in the flat terrain of WI. However we are going to Yellowstone this summer.
They are offering me what I paid for my GMC, so my out of pocket is only $2500.


Thoughts?

 

Afternoon StanBy!

 

Craig, 2500 doesn't sound like a ton, even 3/4 ton, to get some of the benefits you list. If that amount gives you peace of mind when towing your trailer greater distances than you do now that would be a consideration. Is it 8600 GVW so you can take the tax benefit? If so there's a guy who posts here that is a tax accountant that may be able to show you the 2500 is money well spent to get that benefit.

 

Afternoon, Reynardo. Siesta time in Estados Unidos Mexico?

 

Seen one of dem before...

Craig - doesn't sound like a bad deal. I'm a sucker for new iron.
