These are an odd variety with white skins. As far as I can tell they aren't grown outside the state. Pretty good raw.

I'm surprised that you even know what boiled peanuts are. They don't seem to be eaten anywhere but the deep south. My relatives in North Dakota think we're completely insane to even think of such a thing. (Maybe they're just jealous of our year-round growing season that allows us grow peanuts 🤔) 🥜.

That dry roasted thing isn't for me!  

I guess I have an esoteric palate?

[Ifitaintbroke]

Have you ever had them raw?

Corn crop was a total loss, but the peanuts did arright.



They don't call us the goober state for nothin.

Man, I LOVE peanuts!
I could survive with this only food.
With an ice cold beer, of course.

[Ifitaintbroke]

Down here we put them in coke. Figure that out...

[ArdWrknTrk]

Id imagine it has a bit to do with where Coke is headquartered.

I went and saw this truck today, to serve as a daily driver around town. Its a local strip mall dealer selling it.

Has pristine interiors and drivetrain with only 46k original miles, but I was shocked to see the frame rusted and almost eaten away. The dealer told me it came from IAAI salvage auction somewhere in the north east.

I told him that it wasn't safe to sell that, and it should be parted out and that if I was him I would assume it was losing money on that deal and part it out like I did my 86 F250 with frame damage.... he told me he did not like me telling him what to do and showed me the door.... he said he was going to sell it wholesale and let some other dealer with the skills to "patch" the frame sell it...  I probably crossed the limit with the dealer but I had to speak up.

Man, I live in Rust Kingdom, and I'm always surprised to see "low mileage" (well, pretended so...) vehicles literally eaten by the rust.

Low mileage means "not so often on the road".  And normally, people don't salt their backyard.
How to explain that paradox...

But maybe I'm paranoid and too suspicious.

[viven44]

This one was definitely a low mileage vehicle. Confirmed by Carfax and the engine bay looked clean as well, as well as the drive train.

I wish I had a picture of the frame, I just haven't seen one that bad here in TX. It is hard to imagine all that metal eaten away. I have no idea how the truck hasn't broken in half yet..

I am just shocked this guy is still hoping for a buyer. The listing made no mention of frame rust.. even when I called him he told me right off the bat... "oh it is a really clean truck except it has 2 codes since the PCV hose is broken.... I asked him why he hasn't fixed something that simple??... he had no answer". Now it makes sense that it was a red herring.

Works best with the glass bottle coke, and a small bag of salted peanuts. Just pour them in. You'll find them at the bottom of the bottle after you've drank the coke. 👍

[Ifitaintbroke]

Maybe, though I'm not familiar with Atlanta. I grew up close to Savannah.

Lol, Bradley!

I'll give a try... when wife will be away, or she's gonna think I'm completely "nuts".

Maybe she already does!

I saw a personalized license plate that I wish I had thought of: LASTBIL.  It was on a newer Chevy truck.

For the few of you that don't speak Swedish  that's Swedish for "truck".  It fits my ideal criteria for a personalized plate, something that not everyone will get, but something that those who do will enjoy getting!

[Nothing Special]

I was ducked!

I know, it's a Jeep thing (you wouldn't understand).  But when I came out from church today these two guys were sitting on Pluto's door handle.  Lesley stole them from me since Pluto isn't a Jeep (she drives a Jeep Renegade and was ducked at church earlier this summer).  But it's kind of cool being accepted by the Jeepers!

[Gary Lewis]

That’s cool!  And I do know about the ducks. I’ve seen them on Jeeps. But not on a Ford.

[mat in tn]

cool yet "street cred" aint what it use to be.

Well within 600 miles my wife’s new  2024 ride lost its 360 degree cameras. Apparently there is a TSB for this … possibly bad Video module or faulty camera. Guess what I am not doing jack for the next 5 years on her ride. That is the only reason we bought her a new one.. I do not enjoy fixing problems under duress …

Also glad my bronco is somewhat roadworthy. She will need it drop off and pick up kids if the 2024 needs to be in the dealership
