New here, how’d I do?

Fiancé and I looked for a long time to find a truck that met all my “must haves” until we found this guy. I’ve named him Phil, as this was the original owners name and he unfortunately passed not too long after setting the truck out for sale - after which it sat for 9 years in a lot next to a diner.

1984 D250 4x4 manual side step - a beautiful unit. I’ve done a few things already and got the engine to turn over by hand, but still need to drain the old fuel and replace the battery terminals - among several other things lol I was told he ran excellent before sitting for 9 years and Phil took exceptional care of him before that. Hoping to get him running smoothly before my wedding in November so we can include him in the photos.

Anyone got one similar?

80/90s? War movie where group of American soldiers are in a war torn building and arguing with each other

I remember watching this late at night in high school and it was a super rough movie to watch and the American soldiers in the building were fighting with each other about how or if they would kill these Asian soldiers they had with them or keep them as POWs, I think. IIRC they killed them and it created some tension in the group. Can’t find anything about it online searches, I keep getting “men in war” and “to end all wars” but those are not it.

Edit: well that was fast and my brain is fried apparently, thanks jdav79

Can anyone give the measurements?

Is this recipe familiar to anyone? I’m obsessed with the smokin monkey, what are my measurements and instructions here? I can take my best guesses but appreciate any info shared. Thank you in advance! 🫶🏻

Got another request friends!

Walked the dogs this morning and saw a little shiny hole at the foot of one of my trees and got down to look and find this dude - what the heck is he/her?! I get grubs that roll into the garage sometimes, is this a later stage? His body looks like it probably has some bulk to it. Is it harmful to trees?

Edit: to add location on the shore of Maryland

Fell on me while out in the hammock

Never seen one like it before! I’m in shore side of MD, anyone know what type of caterpillar this is?

A few weeks ago someone posted on here, and excuse my memory as it could have been a top comment in another post, but I just wanted to take a minute to thank you to that user. The advice given was to round cut your nails while they’re growing out - I have always read and been told to cut nails straight across but this one small change has made a world of difference. So again, I tip my hat to you, whoever you are ❤️ my nail beds are a lot happier without the sharp edge created from cutting straight across, and there is a huge relief from the trigger of having an “edge” to mess with.
