Got my truck back after the deer hitting
Finally got my truck back after that big doe hit me on the right side when back in Minnesota this summer.
Y&S in San Pedro did a good job putting it back together.

Remember that place from when I was a wee kid. Always a landmark.
Another one bites the dust.
I just got my 350 out of the shop LAST WEEK from having the drivers side sheets replaced from some dilweed leaving a nice little crease down the entire drivers side while it was parked.
Wifey comes out of a store to two more nice little dents on the same side.
At least it's not upside down

Funny as I took the picture with my I Pad. Since it adjusts for gravity or the like, Each picture is always shown with the proper orientation.
I took the last, repaired picture upside down with my I Pad but it showed right side up. When I look at this post, all looks correct.
Then after it was brought to my attention by Pops, I see the " visit Ford trucks..." in each corner, right side up, except the last picture.
Funny/amazing how I Pads work.

My mantra on technology:
"The closer you are to the leading edge of technology, the more likely you are to be nicked by it!"
Yes, this is really the phone I continue to use:
It only tracks my location during 911 calls, no other time. No camera to go upside-down. It can "text", but I never do, and have that part shut off. It also has a web browser, but that's off, too.
After the nuclear holocaust: cockroaches and Nokias!

I use a prepaid phone from Virgin Mobile that only does talking. No texting, no camera, and no web. I did not buy a phone for any of the extras, I bought it to talk, plain and simple. 
I could text or visit the web, but have them turned off also.
