Deck looking good Andre!

Hope all you Dad's had a great Father's Day

Got back this evening from the camp at Grand Isle where we celebrated Father's Day. The 19 yr old grandson did the driving in his new Chevy (yuk) pickup. 1500 Silverado with the 2.7 I-4 turbo engine..filled it up Friday and it topped at 31 mpg going down to the island where speed limits are mostly 55 mph. 2020 model that only had 3,200 miles on it and was the nicest truck he could afford.


Chevy has seemed to have stepped up their game a bit!!

Better than the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder he traded in!

 

That's a nice truck Don!

 

He's in love with it...I didn't know they were even putting inline 4 cylinder engines in these large trucks. 8 speed tranny and cruises at 1200 rpm's at about 55 mph. 310 hp and 348 ft lbs of torque. When he goes back on the ship I'll be driving it sometimes.

 

You'll be driving it, huh??? New trucks are new trucks. They are all so nice 🙂

 

Nice ride Jon, thanks for sharing. The non horse person I am had no idea horses were so sensitve.
Don, 31 mpg in a full size pickup is impressive! He has good taste.

We moved to a different campground today and I had a moment of stupidity. Hit a curb hard enough to ruin a trailer tire. Wheel looks ok at least.

Here is one of the girls and tonight's sunset.

 

Don, I'm not much of a Chevy guy either but glad your grandson likes it. It is interesting that it only has a 4 cylinder but the turbo makes up the difference.

Eric, Thanks for sharing the camping photos, looks like you had a good day! Your wife and daughter look happy!

 

Ande'.... If I were keeping Jolly Green....... I would put her on a big diet..... I expect to sell her in about 5 months.

Have a good night Patriots and Dads..........

 

Eric, been there done that. Glad the trailer is fine. Trailer tires seem to be a temporary thing anyway. Your girls are beautiful and they look very happy!

Roy, if you were to put JGG on a diet, you would not want to sell her in 5 months (you'd keep her). Probably not a good idea. Let the new owner do that instead!

I hope everyone had a nice Father's Day. I had fun working on the deck with my son after getting rained out Saturday. My other son had to work. H was not happy. My daughter came home Saturday and also had to work Sunday afternoon. It was a really nice weekend though.

Then new Chevy front end, color matched to the truck, looks really good in my opinion. I'm not a chrome front end guy, but color matched I can do.

Morning Tim!

 

Howdy to all the fine Patriots.........
Another fine morning in Montana...... 55*F, Sun and clear skies with a light breeze.....

First on the POD is to get Jolly Green repaired.........
Home today...... off from HD....

Enjoy a great day.......

 

Good morning guys !
Looks like everyone is getting along well. Nice pics shared Etc.
We have had an excellent spring and early summer here.
Weather and such have been perfect for growing crops, very enjoyable to see the efforts of your work turn out well.
The wifey and I have been discussing a summer trip, but haven't come to a concensus
This spring I had 2 fault codes on my 2012. One was the EGT 13. replaced under warranty.
The other was the Def heater. the dealer said he had to reset the code once before he could do anything. ??
It is also covered under warranty but they wouldn't do it until it comes on again.
I wonder if the computer is still checking for heater function, even though it's not cold out ??
Some how I bet it does.
Oh well as long as it's fixed before winter. Even if I have to do it my self.
I know Delete it.
I just love the fact that it's quiet and doesn't stink. These are the first 2 codes I have had.
Have a fun Moanday

 

Good reading guys, glad to see everyone chugging along,

I spent the weekend at the campground in my trailer, life IS good,

carry on truckers.

Tim, how does a 2012 truck still have warranty?? anyway, good luck with it.

 

Good morning/afternoon, crew. All is well in sunny AZ.
Traded a couple hours of tractor work for................




It came from a toy hauler that his door is a little taller than mine, so the side rails extend just inside of the door frame, but I am thinking with a little velcro and ingenuity it can be just fine. Actually, anchored to the door frame should make it quite sturdy,
All have a great day.

 

Gerry, there's a customer satisfaction campaign on both items.
I don't remember the numbers but it extends the warranty to 10 years and 120,000 mi.
I can dig up the info if needed. It's in the glove box, I'm not

 

Howdy guys! I know it's been a while. Spent the weekend camping at oneoone of favorite places. Fort Yargo State Park in Wonder, GA.
Hope all of you are well!?!?!?

 

And I see the cops are there making sure you behave!!!!!!! Hello, Monty!
