Sounds reasonable. Fortunately for me, I have a big barn and keep several vehicles so that there is always one of them running! Sometimes it is close though! right now, everthing is running fairly trouble free. why did I have to say that out loud? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

What really bugs her is that my newest truck is my plow truck, an '88!

Well I am not completely out of a vehicle, I have 'visitation rights' to my wife's '08 Edge. I like that car for the most part, except that it is a little on the snug side for me. George knows what I am talking about. But I do refer my truck with the additional room that I have in it so I am hoping to be without my truck for a few days.

What happened to your truck Neil?

Too bad your not closer, I'd let you use one of mine.
I'm still medically unable to drive, and have all of them still tagged and insured.

Dropped the front of the gas tank on the road as I was pulling into a gas station Friday on my way home from work. The strap broke and Ford has a recall out for the straps that I have not had done yet because they still looked good. One of the highway departments has been milling some of the roads that I drive on to go to work and I think that the hard jolt that you get at the transition weakened the strap to the point that it broke. The mechanic that works at the gas station came out and tied the tank back up for me by using one of my ratchet straps.

Lucky for me, it would have been a neighboring department but they would have given me as much or more grief than the guys in my own department would have.
