Last Friday was my 3 year anniversary with Radon Medical Imaging and I reminded my boss just that. I gave him three options to reward my dedicated service. A new Ford F-150 with tow package and 4WD, $3,000 cash, $1,000 for each year, and the link to a new Hummingbird fish finder at BPS. Well, I didn't get any of them but did get a $300 gift card to BPS today. :biggrin It sure will pay a large chunk of the 587ci.
Are you going to replace the Lowrance that you use with that unit?

That's my plan. For a few reasons. The transducer cable is too big to run down the slot on my Terrova trolling motor, and I get tired of having to turn around to see the map contours and boat speed on my 997 in the rear. I may still use the Lowrance on my jon boat, not sure if I want to buy a second transducer for it or not.
Congrats on the 3 years Tap, and at least you got something.
Ahhhhh, New Bird huh?? That 587ci seems like a good unit. You gonna get a second Navionics card?
Congrats on the three year mark, Too bad you didnt get a truck, but hey.... Id rather have a BPS $300 gift card than a FORD! AHhah. Me and Russell are gonna make a believe out of you and get you in a Chevrolet.
On a side note, Hey Russell when you gonna step up and get you a bird? You'll love that Navionics on the Lakes!
Chevy's are for sissies.CFQuote:

2009 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7 cummins diesel. 6 speed manual transmission. 112000 miles and other than a blown turbo due to exhaust flaw, no trouble. Exhaust mod at 20000miles and no trouble since.
Dad's truck. 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7 cummins diesel. 6 speed manual transmission. 80000 miles, exhaust modification, no trouble.
4 tractors with cummins, a Combine with cummins, a cotton picker with cummins, and a International Eagle semi with Cummins.
Only one blown motor on the Combine but it is 9 years old. 3 tractors are 20 years old, semi is an 1988 with over 8000000 on it and still going strong.
You can tell we are Dodge and cummins fans. Got the miles and the years to prove it. Ain't got much respect for a diesel made by Izuzu.CF
Tap did you know that 90% of all Ford's sold last year are still on the road.................. the other 10% actually made it home!Quote:

Percidae, My old truck (the 99) You had to turn it off at the drive through but the 6.7 liter engines are quieter and not much louder than a gas motor. NOW, My Son got the 99 and first thing he did was cut the muffler off, slap some 35 inch mud tires on it, added some custom gauges, I had new paint put on it, and She looks right now. I'll try to get some pics of it on here. Not worried about him running too fast cause it has 4.10 gears in the rear and at 75, it sounds like it will blow.Quote:

It was quiet at the shop the other day. No wind at all. I heard him coming to the shop. I could hear him slowing and speeding up for the curves. I counted the curves and checked the odometer and when I first heard him he was 3 and a half frikken miles away. I do not know how he has not gotten a noise ordinance ticket in Edenton yet. Already told him that baby would be his to pay. The only thing they have gotten on him about is window tint. Only bad part about owning all these diesels is the price of the dang fuel. When we first started getting diesels, fuel was 20 cents lower than gas. Now it is 30 cents higher down here. Don't make any since to me since it is a by product of gas. Costing us around 400 dollars a week in fuel right now. farm fuel is 3.60 a gallon. 100 gallon tank on tractors and Your talking 360 bucks that can be burnt a day. Fuel is a major issue.CF
Holy $&*^ Bill! Wrong truck, wrong color..... That has to be the ugliest truck I have ever seen. I puked in my mouth when I saw that pic. Thanks Bill.CFQuote:
