New tothe NC chapter

Hi Guys
I got my new to me 01 7.3 F250 4wd long bed a few months ago. I am in East Bend NC which is 16 miles west of Winston Salem. I look forward to talking and learning from this group. I have had Fords since 1968 but this is my first PU, My other ride is a hot air balloon.

Jack

That's a nice stump puller you have there.
Ford's since 68, there's a lot of info to share.

Are you one of them feller's that's always scraping your basket on our tree tops? Bet you got some cool "uh oh" moments.

Welcome to the machine.

Thanks for the welcome. I really enjoyed the old stuff these new machines are rtoo complex.
Yea I am one of those tree scrapers. Most of my uh oh moments came years ago now I am a fair weather flyer I try to avoid any excitement.

Welcome aboard Captjack. Glad to see another member. Especially one with a hobby that has fascinated people for so many years. I am one of the idiots who just stand and stare at the hot air balloons when they fly overhead. I always think of how peaceful and tranquill it must be. But back to my world. Good to see you here and don't be a stranger.

Thanks I am happy to be here I hope I can add some value to the group.
The balloon thing is a little more than a hobby. It is one of the things I do to hopefully keep ahead of the tax collector. That's one of the reasons I got my rig.at least that's I told my wife.
