she just says it's pretty....We did take the sleds out today for one last blast though, that was fun (when they were not over heating)....the snow is so heavy, when you shovel it, it turns to water.

Well......it happened, just when the snow was pretty much gone, we get a huge dump last night. Great April fools by mother nature .
Good thing is I got to pull 2 poeple out of the ditch today. Took this pic when I got back from the first one. This truck pulls cars out of the ditch so easily it is almost scary.
LOVE IT!

Thanks for sharing and posting the pics guys!
It got into the low 70s here today and it was BEAUTIFUL!
On another note, it happened again.............I jumped in the truck and ran a bunch of errands for the little lady. What a great day!

Well it didn't happen yesterday.
I ended up working a little over thirteen hours and didn't get to drive her.
There's always this evening though and I'm off for a while after tomorrow....she's going to get a good workout this weekend!

Just drive it a little extra hard when you are off and I am sure the truck will not hold it against you. I know mine gets a little PO'd if I dont pund on it every day, but mine seems to have a bad attitude for some reason....

Rough road trip
Sunday afternoon was such a tough day 
Place: Great Falls Montana
Weather: Warm - Sunny - Clear Blue Skys - 20-30 mph winds
Route: Great Falls - Fair Field - North alone the Rocky Mountain Front - Choteau
Excuse to drive 70 miles each way: 5 yr old GrandDaughter to birthday party.
I don't think I can describe how wonderful it was; Cruse set on 70mph and effortlessly rolling along a 2-lane road with few other cars/trucks. The Rocky Mtns with snow drapped on them. Freeze Out Lake with hundreds of snow geese. Wide open fields that stretch out forever. 60's tunes dancing throughout the very comfy cab. Nav unit ticking off the miles as the younglin get more excited about the birthday party she is headed for.

Thanks
Thanks John & Darren 
One nice thing I noticed when I was Car/Truck shopping back in August..... Bison Ford in Great Falls was a welcoming, warm-fuzzy place to shop. Since then, it still is a "family" type of place.
I see the same thing here at FTE. People from all over the place, all different walks of life. One guy posts about the loss of his wife and asks for help. (That's tough stuff) Others share expertise. Some just share about life with a truck
Ain't it Great

This forum has been a great place to hang out over the years and it's always interesting to chat with folks from all over the country (and world) about common interests.
I really appreciate all of you guys and gals keeping this thread alive. It's nice to drop in here and see so much cheer and good posts.
I may just turn that into a six day weekend if I can get a few more things taken care of today.

It's really hard to get the mud out between the motor and the skid plate, this makes it sooooo easy. Hose the big chunks off, then get out the Simple Green and the pressure washer.
I hope y'all have a fantastic Easter weekend!
