I've made some of those for my Buddy before, through Lighthouse Printing in Minnesota.
He is old school... likes having 3 identical copies for his records (warranties, etc.), customer copy, and the taxman. There were a couple of times his own copy saved him... it's (not so?) surprising how people will try and forge or scribe verbage on there.... like changing a date, warranty length, etc.

I have two. The last time I went to the scrap buyers a couple years ago, they offered me $5 apiece. Prior to that, about eight years ago, I took four in and got about $100 each, if I recall correctly. At that time I had to sell two, and my wife had to sell the other two, and they took our name and address down for each sale. That was back when there'd been another spike in their value and therefore, thefts. White: you might want to call the scrappers and see if they have any limitations.

Good morning Bear. Do you have that garage just the way you want it yet ?

You'll love the F250. It's twice the truck, you'll feel that right away. . A new one though, - couldn't stomach that price new, unless it was an XL w/6.2 which are still excellent trucks.

My truck (if anyone wants details lol) is a 7.3 4x4 crewcab 6.5' bed. Antimatter blue with the sliding back window. Other than that I stayed pretty basic. Ive been kicking around the idea of replacing the step bars with retracting steps but will just have to see how I like the stock ones when I get it. I have plans for upgrades but that list got expensive fast so Im going to do things gradually.
That's pretty awesome 2100! I was screwing around pricing the f150 5.0 vs the f250 with the 7.3 and they were only 2.6k different when it was all said and done. Blew my mind.

In the last several years I can only think of two places I've seen that paper.
Checkbooks and work orders.
I've had my checkbook for at least 12 years now and have written all of 24 checks.
At work, we replaced paper work orders with tablets and software ~ 5 years ago.
What else is that stuff used for?

Most places nowadays just print multiple copies, which is why the plain bond paper market is rebounding. Our #12 machine puts out a crap-ton of bond paper, but the profit margin is pretty slim.

Good morning thinkers!- its a clear blue day in the valley this morning!- beautiful, even from a papermill view!-
Yea, Brew, pretty much- except..., huhumm...,
the open bay has become an entertainment area for the grandkids and the dog!! It all happened so innocently... the Mrs. wanted to play with the dog, so, being wintertime, she took him out to the garage to play.( it has a nice little electric ceiling mount heater, after all)
Soooo... the grandson found my short seat on wheels and the open bay became a racetrack too!- ( with the dog tugging on a rag, pulling him,no less!) Then it was the scooters, then all of the grandkids discovered they could dribble and pretend to play basket ball, soooo...
Grams found a small version of the arcade basketball game complete with two hoops and electronic score keeper. ( but it folds up out of the way, so its not too bad) but the kids and grandkids just LOVE it!! Then, with Gabe (the oldest grandson) playing soccer, Grams found a fold up goal so he could practice his footwork in comfort too!
I can move it all out of the way when i need the bay, and the laughter that echos from the walls makes it ALL worth the little inconveniences.
So, yea, its the way i like it!!

It was a bit hard to swallow the price of a new one but looking at 1-2 years old or left overs the price was only a few thousand less. Market is smoking right now and I figured why pay for a 1 year old 30xxx mile truck when I can spend an extra $4k and get a brand new truck exactly how i want it. Trust me Id rather have spent less money but this truck should be around for 10+ years so I figured I should buy once cry once and get exactly what I need. I wanted the diesel but I didnt need the diesel and could not pay the extra $10k for that markup but I did end up getting the 7.3 Godzilla (i think that was their nickname for it). Stuck with an XLT, again couldnt justify the added cost of lariat for things i didnt need and the King Ranch was like an extra $16k added from the XLT... just cant believe the amount of money people are dropping on these trucks. I love the King Ranchs and the blackout version of the Lariat but those prices make me want to vomit.

I am also excited for Godzilla's little brother (the 6.8) that will be in the F150 and Mustang. I have not heard anything but speculation, but it sounds like it will be a lower deck height.... and could be a great candidate for a swap into a Fox Body. Hmmmm.
Or an SN95? (hint hint, Ohio).

Yeah I originally thought a super duty would be out of my price range but I actually built this super duty cheaper than the half ton I built. After running more numbers I came back to the wife and said its final, im going 3/4 and leaving the half ton world behind lol.
