At least the cold temps are losing their grip. Sure is windy though.

Cabin fever is setting in. Can hardly wait for some springtime weather. All of last years unfinished projects will be poking their heads out of the snow soon.
I`m glad it`s the last week in Feb, I`m so looking forward to spring.
Bummer on the sick kids, hopefully it doesn`t last long.
Looks like Explorers are pretty popular with cops everywhere including
Saskatoon.
It`s nice to see that you are Cummins free, I had faith and just knew you could kick that habit Sherm. I`ll try to leave you a ''little something'' in my will...if there`s anything left.

Morning Fellas!!

Its a private sale Colin. The guy does contract work for sasktel so the majority of the miles are highway, towing a small trailer...so I'm told I think $12500 for a '09 F150 4x4, 130k on it is a fair deal. The guy said he would let it go for what the dealer would have given him on trade. On a lot the truck probably would have been 16g. The color matches the explorer also... I'm looking forward to a smoother ride, better fuel economy, and a more practical vehicle...until I start modding...

Morris, you don't have to worry about leaving me much. That F350 flat deck will be enough Aren't you immortal?

Hope everyone stayed safe and off the highways yesterday. The inlaws went to Regina for training (father in law is a mechanic), the usual 1:45 it takes to get there ended up nearly 3hrs. I guess there were vehicles in the ditches all over.

Take care boys, have a happy Tuesday!!!

Good morning all, another cold very windy day here, we were to get 2-5 cm of snow and think it has all blown into my driveway.

Happy Tuesday mornin'all. Morris the glass is always half full. Sherm my 2010 was $20k with 97k on the odometer. Average price around here. The color was what caught my eye. John; I wondered where all the snow in my driveway went. Have a great day guy's.

Sounds like a good deal Sherm, hope it goes smoothly for you.

Thankfully most of the wind has been out of the east so I haven't spent much time on the snowblower this winter.

Blowing and drifting snow this morning so I didn`t look forward to my trip to town, a few local accidents but hopefully none were too serious other than two semi`s colliding by Kindersley.

I think you would have no problem getting that F350, so far that`s one that no one in my family has claimed yet.
Immortal... I wish but I that`s not going to happen.

We were supposed to get 5-10 cms or more of snow but it didn't happen yet.

Morning Fellas, another great day on this side of the sod.

I had asked my friend/go to sales manager at Royal about the deal on the '09 that I found and planned to get. He says its a fair deal but wants a chance to find me something. I'll give him that, I'm not sure what resources they have for locating used vehicles, but I told him he has until the weekend, then I'm going to Regina to look at that other one.

Looking into the long range forecast gives a guy some hope. The winter cloud appears to be lightening into next week. Lets hope spring is early and comes to stay for a long time. I'm looking forward to sitting around the fire on a nice summer night batting mosquitos...

Morris, I'd rather not have your family fighting over the vehicles you leave behind, so perhaps you should leave them all to me, or disperse them amongst your FTE buds... As for immortality, I wouldn't want it. I'll be happy to get my allotted years, 85 or so would be nice, in good health and mind, perhaps see some grandkids become successful to know that I've done some good in my little world But hey, if you want to live forever, I'd support that...

Yours is a nice truck Grant. I want the 6.5' box though, more handy for farm uses I'll settle for the extended cab though, I would prefer the crew, but don't need it.

John, you just turn around and blow that snow back to where it came from...

Southern John, is your power restored?

Have a great Hump Day everyone!!

Evening FTE !!!!

Was in the concrete village today, saw Trent's truck. Where's he been??
Always seem to be passing each other. Last time I saw him I watched him get rear ended 3 cars in front of me. Crazyness.

Hope everyones good!!
Glad to see the Power on John
Good luck Sherm, Ur pretty diligent so something good will come along. My SIL is selling her F150. 11, blue, excab, v6 (i think).

Booked a room at a local resort here. Going to sled up and meet the fam's there. Have a weekend of playin outside, bonfire, skating, tobogganning and the Win WIn part is I get the 5 hours sled trip there and back with another friend!! AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaand, no mosquito's!! !! Ha

Have a great evening my fellow Ford Friends!!
