I don't envy you my dude. Especially if you have to keep to deal with 2 and keep a job down. That's the hardest part for us... the newborns are really really time intensive. 2+ years old at least there are options to drop off etc...

Yeah mine at 3yo is in “school” now so he’s somewhat taken care of for a few hours in the mornings.

Y’all have someone coming over to help take care of the dude? It certainly is tough.

One of the only parenting hacks that works. Get help from the grandparents.


I feel you man. It’s a hard phase. It doesn’t really get easier it just changes.

Yep... what the oems says you "can" haul what you can actually haul is a bit of a difference.

Haha that egg putting in work 😤

At the refinery I once took an entire pallet of water bottles from our warehouse to the job site in my F150. I drove like 5 MPH. I think it was about 2,500 lbs in the bed. Almost 1,000 lbs over the payload capacity.

There is a lot of backlash happening here currently with out new electricity costs. It now makes a Hybrid such a Prius more cost effective than say a Tesla model 3... Bonkers. And there is possibility of another rate hike in march...

I wonder what that will do to America's #1 EV market... if the car costs more up front to purchase + fuel + it takes a lot of inconvenience if you don't have at home charging... I think shit will really hit the fan soon here.
