Please feel free to post that sentiment over there, where political talk is encouraged, as opposed to....say....a conversation thread in a tech forum, where political discourse isn't allowed. ;) :-X22

Thanks! :-drink

er... um... you posted the original link here in the tech forum? right? MSNBC?

Yes. And when you click the link, it takes people that have Club access to a place where any Club member can talk politics until the cows come home, or their keyboard breaks. Whichever happens first. ;)

Just because we can't talk politics or other stuff here, doesn't mean I can't alert folks to happenings in other forums. ;)

That's why I even posted the link to the poll in a separate thread here in the Ex forum, but locked it so replies can't be made.

Whens the shirts commin back admin?

Took a ride down to the city today to order a 650 dash panel from the big Ford dealer. My local dealer is too much of a rip-off artist. Charged me $65...... not bad !

Stopped at the sport shop and bought a kayak to use next year on our camping trips. You know you drive an Excursion when you just toss a 10 ft. kayak in the back next to the dog bed.

That's what I want to do. It just might be tall enough. I will probably have to get a two post lift and put it in the center in front of where the vehicles are in the pics. Might not be able to lift the Excursion all the way up, but the car is possible. Anything that lets me get under it is better than jackstands. The key is getting a lift that doesn't poke the beams through the roof when going up.

I ordered custom tunes from Larz Bullard at Gearhead Tuesday at 2pm and he had them finished and emailed to me in less than two hours. I got the SRL+, 8k Tow and Unlimited Tow package. I programmed SRL+ first and drove 80 miles easy on the pedal and then got on it some and WOW! This tune really woke the beast up. I have yet to straight up floor it from a stop because I don't want to roast my tires. The shifting and turbo response are crisp. Yesterday I programmed 8k Tow and pulled the boat to Seadrift and it tows like it was not even back there!

Big Blue got new sneakers for the winter!

Finally got the new leece neville 230 alternator and FICM repair wiring upgrades installed, automatically noticed that it sounds like it's spinning a little faster to start and my battery voltage is sitting at 13.9 to 14.2 immediately after starting vs. 11.whatever to 12.whatever immediately after starting. Ed at ficmrepair.com for the win!!!!!!

Went and helped out at a horse enduro. We marked out the entire course and cleared debris. Plus remarked the trail after someone decided they didn't want to run the provided course and took our stuff down/put up their own :-huh


This was early Thursday with only about half of the horse folk having arrived. I slept in the Ex in the 2nd row seat. I have to bend my knees a bit but it isn't too bad actually.

Quick clip from the wee hours of this morning when we ran out to double check everything was clear

So I packed everything up again and I am heading for Texas. Galveston this time around. I think I will make it to Dallas to pick up the family on Thursday and head to Galveston on Friday, where we will spend a week. At first we were going to set up a booth at the Lone Star Rally with Full Throttle, but now that is not happening. However, I think Cycle Source Magazine wants me to do something for them at the rally but I have not got anymore details from them on that one.

I have a lot of stops to make between here and Texas and the trip will take about a week this time around.

Safe travels! We will be heading back to SA for Christmas..:-jammin

Very nice setup! Well worth the money for peace of mind.

i have the exact same setup - love it

I think we will be in Dallas for Christmas.
