I have noticed that the new houses they are building here in my neighborhood have very few windows, and none that will open. I would never buy a house with windows that did not open.
Didn’t your roofer tell you before he started that hand nailers are also fair weather roofers. I wonder why?

No roofer in his right mind is going to work when the humidex is 100F. And if he did he'd be delirious and would make big mistakes.....probably shooting his air hammer all over the place.

It’s been done. This guys TC had 3.73s. That was one of the parameters he changed in the computer with the tuning.
With the Panthers you need 400 HP at the crank to even be close to fast. The 03/04 Marauder while a very cool car (IMO) was 7.5 seconds to 60. My wife’s XC90 SUV is faster.

Yeah, even with a 4 valve and 3:55 gears the Marauder only had 302hp. Not bad for the time but for real speed he’d have to throw a Coyote in there.

A coyote inside a panther. Now there is an image.

I just got a statement from my supplemental plan that covers a CT scan(throat to pelvis), bone marrow biopsy, blood draw and a couple of doctor's visits.
MSRP $24,451, Medicare Billed $3,835, Medicare paid $3,068, Supplemental plan covered the remaining $767.
That’s been done too along with the 5.4 from the Navigator. Those Panther guys do all kinds of crazy stuff. There is one FrankenPanther running an 04 frame, 5.4 blown Navigator engine sitting on an 85 ish Grand Marquis coupe body.

What I hate, is what appears to be unnecessary tests and consultations with specialist. Obviously, this inflates the bill as all these people have to be paid and rather handsomely. Thank Goodness, Medicare tries to keep those runaway prices in check, but those costs are usually recovered through supplementary coverage through Medicare Part C. And of course, Medicare Part C insurance is an out-of-pocket cost for most unless it is subsidized by a union or former employer. Sorry, for my poor Medicare Part C explanation. I tried my best.

BREAKING NEWS — Any roofer who hand nails shingles is already out of his mind and delirious.

I have an Advantage Plan. My copays are minimal - imaging $50, specialist $5, ER $125, ultrasound $50. What I get hit with is prescription drugs because I enter the donut hole in May of every year. My COPD inhalers are $35 for 90 day supply and $275 for the second drug for a 90 day supply.
But my 2 insulins, my blood pressure medications, my diuretic, and my statin are covered through the gap at full price. So RX’s cost me about $1200 a year out of pocket. I am happy with my primary care physician (been using him for 21 years) - and he is the doctor that diagnosed my liver cancer 5 years ago. I am due for a PET-SCAN next month and an ultrasound (about $175 combined copays). After this series of imaging if they don’t find any cancer that will be 5 years cancer-free and then they consider me cured.
Never had chemo or radiation - just surgical removal of part of my liver (resection) with 3 malignant tumors. Only 1 in 20 patients with my type of cancer have no recurring malignancies. It’s truly a miracle! 🤓

You sound like the builder that build my house in SC.
I think I told this story once before but since you brought it up:
I got to talking to my builder when the roof was being put on my house and progress slowed down because the roofers just didn’t return to finish the job. The builder said he got another crew lined up to come in and finish the job. He said he’s had this happen before and goes on to say , in general, he didn’t like roofers. When I ask him why he said, “there is something wrong with people who choose to work on the highest part of buildings”. I think of that every time I see a roof being replaced.

I want to see one with a mural on the hood of a coyote eating its way through a panther.

I had to look up "humidex", seems to be the Canadian equivalent of the "heat index" we use here in the states. Slightly different, but quite similar.
Here in this part of the world (Houston, Texas), roofers work straight through the summer. Not a lot of choice if they want to make a living. I have seen roofing crews take long mid-day breaks to avoid the worst of the heat. I think in Mexico they call that a siesta.
$206 for a chrome grill, and $67 for a body color front fascia. Who pays extra for that on a work truck? And what exactly is “fuel gauge calibration” for $43?
I’m guessing that the “fuel gauge “ thingy is to tell you your MPG and distance to empty warning lite.

You can go a long way on a tank of fuel with that 36 gallon tank.

It must be tempting since you have such a cavernous engine bay. You could fit almost anything in there.

Almost 600 hp at the wheels.
Job not done yet, another 90F day and rain, so they didn't come. The house looks neater and much better without the 2 fake dormers.
One neighbor knew they were hand nailing....he heard the hammers instead of the air nailer......it seems people who know fine craftsmanship understand that hand nailing is an art, only done by the highly skilled.

That thing must be pretty quick. Probably the lightest configuration available with the 5.0.

My latest research says this about hand nailing vs air gun....the biggest factor is the skill of the workman. A good hand nailer can can place the nail correctly and judge the depth as he works. An air nail guy has to hope he has the right setting because the most likely mistake is not putting the nail in deep enough or too deep....harder to judge with a nail gun....but a bit faster.
Reputation of the roofer is important....this guy has been doing it for 40 years, several people recommended him, he says he can do a better job hand nailing. He has seen warranties voided because an air nailer didn't put the nails in far enough...in which case shingles can blow away. Too deep and the shingles can tear.....hand nailed just right - no problem!

There aren't many of us up here, particularly after Labor day and before Memorial day, but even the summers aren't too bad, crowding-wise. As always, it's all relative.
I worked a summer on a Salt River Project (local utility) line crew, and we started at 6 am. Later in the summer, when the humidity went up (monsoon), the crew boss would sometimes declare the heat too intense. It was his [non-permissible content removed] if one of us succumbed to heat stroke. I was 20 at the time and hadn't a clue. Now I do.
@oldfarmer50 thanks for opening up my eyes to this. 🔵🌐🔦
Pluto, formerly the 9th. planet, was unceremoniously demoted to dwarf planet status. So the search is on for a new ninth replacement planet. 🌞
Amateurs and astronomers, said that they have mathematical evidence, that a large planet, 336 light years away and five to 10 times the mass of earth does exist. It is beyond the orbit of Neptune and such a hypothetical planet exist but its exact location defies their prediction models. And besides, it does not appear that this mystery planet revolves around the sun. In short, they cannot find it. 😄🕷
Some dubbed it the Far Far Away Planet, while others named it Planet Nine, in homage of Pluto, while Planet "X" has special appeal to sci-fi and comic book fans. In my search I can find no convincing evidence for Planet X. It all boils down to speculation and conjecture. 🦕

------------------end of quoted material--------------------It's not as fast as the 2018 SuperCrew with the ecoboost engine which I had previously. Just the seat of the pants feel, and I could be wrong. The ecoboost has a tremendous amount of low end torque, and that always feels faster / quicker when going by the seat-o-meter.
And I'm pretty sure you can get the regular bed 5.0L with the 6.5' bed vs the 8' bed on this one.

I've never seen the standard tank listed in that section of the sticker.
Should have looked closer.
