Eden is remote. If you have a place to stay there take it. Elmore is beautiful but may be more people.

I tried to keep a 10 year old truck going and every year at inspection time it was a list of items totaling 3-4 thousand many of them things that had been replaced recently. I would take it to another shop and the list of items were different but the price the same, 3-4 thousand. They see an old vehicle and it’s dollar signs. For that money I can have a car payment so that’s what I did. Keeping an old car alive in vermont isn’t worth it because you are dependent on some scammer mechanic every year. It’s actually not environmentally friendly to send our cars to junk yards after 5-10 years and not a very “vermonty” thing to do.

He is wrong. Oil is still traded globally on the dollar. It doesn’t matter who is buying a barrel of oil it is bought in dollars. This props up our economy in ways we can’t imagine and makes the dollar the international currency that it is. Russia and Saudi want to change this, if oil is traded on the yen which opec has the ability to do, our dollars are suddenly worth half of what they are now. This is the line that must be walked and it is a huge part of the Russian pea-cocking going on right now.

Even if we use no oil in the United States the international oil trade stabilizes our currency. It is essentially the foundation of the “good faith and credit” that our money is based on.

Sounds like a sweet rig. Undercoat every season.

Driving a 1990 pre-emissions truck is not environmentally friendly. Letting it rust to pieces and buying another one in shorter time then if you undercoated it isn’t either. Gotta pick your poison.
