today ended up absolutely beautiful 73 and sunny, so when i got home from work i decided to wash a large amount of the cars/trucks in the driveway.

started with my friends Dodge Neon, i don't think it had a bath since this spring. Then i washed my Expedition, my Excursion, My f-150 and the Oldsmobile before i ran out of steam.

finally got pics of 3 of my trucks together and clean though

Also took the Olds out with the top down and snapped these at one of the stops.

Well,

We finally made it home and I have had a few days to catch up and unpack a bit.

Had a chance to meet Russ in Anchorage face to face, and good to see you got your F150 finally.

A few pics of things we were up to. We spent a few days in Seward Alaska, and had a chance to go up to the Exit Glacier. Awsome hike, and well worth the trip to the top.



Then had a chance to go home for 1 day and repack to take the family camping on another week trip.



Picture of camp, and the kids enjoying the quiet time as we wait for the fish to bite.



We had some beautiful weather.



And some of what we were after. This is the wife with her first king salmon catch.



And I could not resist to take a snap shot of this, cuz I can't let Russ always get the only flack for it. On the way down for our camping trip. This is loaded down with all of our gear, and 9 of us in the mighty X. I topped out at 159 km/hr as per the gps, and there is still lots left on the go pedal, and I do not need a long take off area. Gotta luv the headers and tunes.

Wow, I wish they had fish like that here, our Rainbows are 14-18" but I like eating other fish more.

Drove down to Edmonds Night Out, an event put on my Edmonds Police Foundation every year. They had some vehicles out on display that make the Ex look rather small.

I saw this today...



...and it got me looking at the potential for a decent looking visor for the Ex. I did come across these two options for a potential future buy. Just thought I would share in case I am not the only one who likes the look of a good visor...

As seen on the truck: Striker Visor 99- Up Superduty

or Big Rig Style: Ford Pick-Up Visors: Big Rig Chrome Shop

Honestly, I think the Big Rig one powder coated black would be awesome!

Do those arms on that lift even fit under it?

Does it fit under your X?

Are you fabricating something cool for it?

Ok I'm not dead! Still driving my EX just buried in life and work. Found 2 minutes to get on here to tonight to say I miss you guys and I will be back soon. More later....oh and looking at buying a 97 Powerstroke with 128k on for a winter truck with a plow. It probably already sold but the engine has my attention
