Beeutiful day today, so nice I`m going to bbq a tritip with chile beans, fresh greens, and baked taters

 

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.

Happy thirsty Thursday Nor Cal FTE and friends. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. make the best of it.

Jim

 

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?

Jim

 

Happy Friday Fte Friends this old guy is Tired and have NOOOOOO Plans for the week end R&R Here I come, Well Crap My Wife just said the Pool is still Green , No Problem Jim are you saying Friday or Saturday ? We may throw something on the Grill Saturday around 4/5. OH and I Promise it wont take 10 hours to cook like the roast on the Smoker

 

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.

Jim

 

Jim don't you have a ramp, pull the Camper shell off take the 350 with the ramp and tie downs problem solved for two day rent Harbor Freight has some ramps.

 

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.)

Jim

 

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

Happy Saturday Nor Cal FTE and friends. Hope everyone has a great day.
