First drive 2013....

Took out old Blue (F-1) this morning.....went to breakfast at the local cafe. The unpaved road I live on is starting to dry up finally.
Was great to drive the old girl again.....I was starting to get withdrawals!
Bring on spring!!!!

Thanks Garry! Lots of snow still on those mountains.....it's not summer yet.

There were 19 deer in my hay field this morning, I tried to get a pic but it was a little too dark....

Beautiful scenery, beautiful truck, and a very special person enjoying the drive. Now it just does not get any better than that!

I understand the dirt road issue. Half a mile of dirt road to get to pavement. I love the view over the hood and fenders of my F1. Similar to driving a convertable or riding a motorcycle, every trip is an adventure.

I think it's unfair that you still don't have 3 ft of snow on the ground. Nice pics though, and that must be a good feeling!

I'm getting the fever to get mine out but they're in the shed in the back of the farm and between the shed and the house there's a 1/4 mile of snow and mud. It's also in the 30s with predictions of single digit temps this week. A year ago we had temps in the 70s. Where that heck is that global warming everyone is ranting about? I could use some right about now!!

It's been a weird winter here.......hardly any snow. Then last week in the 50's and sun. Now back to the cold and rain/snow.
Oh well, spring will get here sooner or later.
I need to get the heater put in my truck!
