Good morning all. It looks like a gorgeous day out there.

Tom that's one good looking truck. I could see how it could be missed. Just imagine how many little Prius would fit in the back.

Andy thanks for the decal. My son say's rear window, not on the back. Better visibility or something. I was impressed with the wife's Honda Odyssey. It looks a lot better than a Prius. Tom should take some pointers there.

Today is get everything ready for the campground tomorrow.

Im trying to get the drivers side, rear, upper sway bar end link off my truck and it is being a pain in the ***. Cant get a wrench to turn on it (but 18mm wrench fits), can't get an 18mm socket on it (even after wire brushing the minimal corrosion)...happens to be situated right inbetween the frame, fuel tank and a brake line too. Lots of fun

Evening guys.

John I think the back window is better also.
That way it will not hurt the paint.

Andy's Oddy will hit 60 MPH in 7.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 15.6 seconds. Up until the last couple of years there wasn't a stock regular production pickup truck that would keep up with it.

Good morning all.

Cub scout camping usually pretty good for the kids. They actually learn a lot. Most people probably don't realize how much kids in the woods take in. My kids grew up in the woods then moved to Bristol, CT and camping was held in the Plainville YMCA. What can I say.

Packing up the truck for the campgrounds.

My kids have both had several each and my wife has had at least one. I think I heard that hard winters are good for ticks.

Hmm, that's interesting. I haven't seen any tick's yet this year. I spent the weekend sitting in the woods, and didn't see any, a little surprisingly.

I have noticed a ton of ticks this year. Everytime I hike along a waterway the dog gets 4-5 on him. Luckily he has the frontline on him so they aren't burrowed in
