I just spent all day running AC duct in the New Debar Fellowship Hall (what I've decided the remodeled church shall unofficially be named) with another day of it to look forward to tomorrow. That's what I did shortly before I got on at a computer repair shop/ISP back in the late 90s. I now completely remember why I enjoy sitting on my ass and poking at a keyboard.

Operator, please trace this call and tell me where I am.

Unemployment moneys come from people who pay unemployment insurance. I haven't in over twenty years.
And having a truck means people will ask you to haul things for them. My Echo pulls my boat just fine, gets ~38MPG (28MPG on shitty ethanol-having gas that I quit using), and nobody ever asks me to haul heavy shit in it.

IIRC, the "echo" had a largest engine that only put out 110hp and ~100 lbf of torque. Even with the drivetrain gearing and torque converter, it still makes me ask what kind of boat you've got behind one of those things.

14' aluminum, flat-bottom jon boat on a trailer just big enough to haul it. Both together weigh about two or three fat chicks.

>... or three fat chicks.
Let's see, that should be about 120 grams, each chick (peep) is about 40 grams at a day old.
Yeah, the Echo should be able to pull that without too much trouble.
