Merry Christmas Guys (and Gals)!!! Soon, Santa (Glenn) will be bringing all the good girls and boys their presents. I hope you all get to spend some time with your loved ones and have a great holiday. Does anyone else feel like it was summer just a week or two ago?! This year flew by.

 

I cannot wait for Glenn to come with the presents, I'm going to ambush him so I can tug on his beard.

 

Yeah, for sure.

Though I'm glad this one is going by fast, this year was horrible for me. =\

I'm thankful to be alive and to have my family though.

 

If someone doesnt beat me to it ill have to post the typical Ford Christmas Poem! lol

 

I can't find it Alex

 

"'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the truck All the fluids were frozen, the injectors were stuck,

The grid heaters were chilled and the turbo stone-cold, This weather was frightful if I may be so bold,

The snowdrift was piled sky-high on the hood, As I tossed to the fire a fresh load of wood,

My good wife and I settled in for some rest But 'twas not long-lived, yet perhaps for the best

"What's that!" I declared with the metal-grinding roar And no sooner than said came a knock at the door,

I arose from my chair soon to be slumber's bed And there on the porch was the Big Man in red!

"I'm stuck" spoke he, "can you give me a pull?"
I said I may be stupid but I ain't no fool

So I rushed to the truck as I buttoned my flap I opened the door and threw out my strap

One move and the key was set firm without strife With a quick turn that Powerstroke came surging to life!

The rattle and roar of that powerful eight The hot blast of smoke shaking candy cane sticks

The reindeer were nervous and in awe of such might But they knew that Ol' Powerstroke would be saving their night

I eased in the clutch and I dropped her in gear The T-case in low as I backed her in near

One end to the hitch and the other to sleigh The tow strap was set as the snow wiped away

He cried out "I'm not sure, cause that old sleigh is heavy but I trust you, cause I see you're not driving a Chevy"

I gave her some fuel and four tires did spin Then they grabbed with the strength of the truck I was in

Ol' Ford started smoking and pulling so hard That I ended up halfway 'cross my neighbor's yard

As I backed off the fuel and gave a proud shout He declared that "No Dodge could have pulled that sleigh out!"

He thanked me profusely and the reindeer did bow To the Mighty Ol' Powerstroke, which was idling now

For they knew in their hearts that without this fueled might That there would be no Christmas this shivering night

He climbed in his seat and with a wave of his hand Those reindeer lurched forward across the snowed land

"I thank you again my dear newly-found friend For your hand and your heart kept this night from its end

And later this eve, warm and snug in my lodge I'll be thanking the Lord, that you didn't buy a Dodge!"

 

lol Good job Mike! I have it saved on my desktop computer. Currently on the laptop in front of the tube!

 

I'm totally amused.

But why was Glenn riding in the sleigh when he has the new Mule?

 

96 mule 97 mare talyn. Today, working on the mare I got my beard catch and had to shave it off. We now need a substitute Santa. JK LOL

 

I think you might be looking at a divorce if you cut it off by the sounds of it.

 

It would be just another threat, LOL

 

I remember that poem Mike, good for a laugh every year!

 

Great poem Mike!

Merry Christmas to all you fellas!!! For those of you traveling this weekend to be with family and loved ones for the holidays, be safe and all of you have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Happy Holidays to all of you! This year should be special as we survived the end of the world! True testiment to Built Ford Tough! lol

Got like 3 inches of icey snow. about 6 inches of RAIN before that...

 

SO we got hit pretty good here in KS, got some ice, and snow, and the next morning about 3am as soon as I got on the road I did a 360, which was fun, but took forever to get to work. luckily she can pull in 2nd, otherwise, I might not have been able to do it with an automatic. Standard for the win again! Checked out the tread, and 2 tires on the back had more tread than the other 2, so 2 tires weren't getting contact with the ground, hence all the slipping and tail slide. Got 4 new tires on the back, and was just flying through it all. Bring on more snow and ice!

The end of the world. Well even if it was going to happen, whoever survives was going to have a great truck!

Merry Christmas, I might not be on after today, going to CO to see my family. Safe travels, and make sure to leave the keys at home when you go drinkin'!
