BBQ sounds nice! I am going to have Fettuccine Alfredo tonight, but am thinking I will pick up some hamburger patties tomorrow and cook those.

Yeah, more targets to aim for on the streets of the mobile home park LOL.

Well, I will be going down to Inglewood, CA. Monday morning to pick up a Yamaha YFZ-450 for Bill, the guy who bought my Jag and lives in Oroville. Instead of taking the F350/car trailer combo, I will rent a 4x7' U-Haul trailer, and tow it behind the Bronco, which is already set up to tow a U-Haul trailer, and will get better mpg. According to Yamaha's website, the 450 weighs less than 400 lbs, so it should be a piece of cake for the Bronco.

Scott, I have no clue when I will be going through Manteca, but if it is at a reasonable hour, I may stop by, after all, what's it been, a month since I last dropped by?

No, it will be sometime Monday evening. But I don't know, it may be too late like midnight or so. I am leaving at 7:30am I hope (Have to go to U-Haul and get the trailer, then have them install it) and it will be around noon that I get to Inglewood, then maybe leave there by 1pm, and get up to Oroville by 9pm, so I would stop by on the way up, maybe 7pm or so? These times are of course estimates, if it is going to be too late, then I will just head straight in to Oroville. Or, maybe Bill will not have a problem with me stopping in Fresno for the night, and then taking it up on Tuesday. If I do that though, I will need to rent the trailer for a second day.

The ramps I have are 8 feet long. I could take the F350, but then it would get worse gas mileage than the Bronco. Besides, if I were going to take the F350, I would take the car trailer too. It gets 13.3 mpg when towing the trailer (except for going up the grapevine of course. LOL). However, I have already told Bill what I plan on doing, and he is okay with it. And he said he will pay me more than I quoted him (which he always does anyway.)

When I find the Ranger I want, I'll buy the ramps at Harbor Freight designed for loading ATV's/motorcycles into pickup beds.
