Thoughts? This seems expensive.

I’m coming from Ford-land (sorry!) and have been out of the diesel game for a few years. I have no clue what I’m looking at here from a value perspective but this seems on the spendier side.

2006 3500

Non-Franchised dealer price: $28.5K located in NorCal

150K miles

Manual transmission

5.9L Cummins

Six speed manual with manual transfer case

Cloth khaki interior

76” bed

Pictures make everything look nice and pretty. I’ve purchased an absolutely cherry 7.3L power stroke from a similar style dealer. That one and this one seem to specialize in more sought after trucks like these. Very much a “I know what I’ve got” kinda mentality with places like this. I haven’t reached out to this dealership, however, so no clue.

In my mind-this thing is with $22K tops but I’m more than willing to be wrong. Please educate me if so. Thoughts?

Request: The Ansel Adams Treatment on this photo from Italy.

I'm not a photographer but I'm proud of this picture. It has Ansel Adams written all over it (to me). I asked ChatGPT to do an edit for me but I'd like to pay someone for their time as well to see what they come up with. Chat removed the contrails in the sky and the people on the ridge in the bottom of the frame as well. Both photos for reference. Attached is the Chat image. I will share the original via Google Drive to preserve the size as I'm trying to blow this up rather large for a dining room piece. Thanks in advance.

Budget: $30

Would like a little faux glow for an Italy trip.

Context: wife, baby, and I are headed off to Italy in two weeks for my sister-in-law’s wedding (pray for us but we have a chill baby). I am a fair skinned Nordic-descended man who’d like to have a little glow on my legs and arms for the trip.

I’m in my 80s 6” inseam shorts era and my legs could be used to light a steamship’s path through a foggy night due to their brightness. I’d like to minimize this.

I’d normally just ask my wife these sorts of cosmetics questions but she’s a natural bronze and I’m trying to be an on-my-own problem solver.

I also possess a decent amount of body hair but have been considering shaving it (to increase my speed and show off my muscles more /s) if that helps things here.

Is there some sort of tanning lotion I can apply that’ll give me a little more color? Spray tanning? I’ve heard terrible things about tanning beds and I think it’s too late for that any way.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you and stay golden!

Extremely sudden and not what I woke up expecting to happen with her. My wife and I made the decision to send her home. My mother, who passed away a decade ago, was waiting for her with open arms I’m sure. 12 years with her wasn’t enough but every good thing comes to an end eventually. Give your doggo a hug today!

I’m an outside construction guy. All we do is slam poles in the ground and string up wire (/s). I had to fix some electrical in my garage at home and decided to just re-do everything. This conduit bending stuff is NOT easy. I must have burned through three sticks of 1/2” EMT just figuring stuff out.

I just wanted to say I appreciate ya’ll and your hard work. Cheers from the outside!

This is the section I’m the most proud of. Go easy on me!
