No worries Tim, Thanks for the thought.
What happened to the "big" rain that we were supposed to get Fri/Sat? Feel jipped. Now I have 3 Fords to wash thanks to the bit that did fall.

I don't know why you didn't get much rain, we got plenty down here, I wouldn't be surprised if my rose bush started to bloom.

Happy Wednesday gentlemen, beautiful morning here in the valley-drove the white truck to work and didn't even have to turn on the heater!

Stewart,,I`m working next door to Panda`s place in SF. If I catch him in hallway or elevator Ill be sure to post a pic. Kinda neat is all. I have 490 units to go so my chances are ok as long as he does not move or sign elsewhere.

Had an interesting day today. Spent 4 hours at the Fresno VA hospital because I woke up this morning and could barely walk due to a shooting pain in my right knee cap. X-rays were taken, and the Doctor will call me with the results. He did prescribe some pain meds, and I was able to get a better knee brace as the one I had was store bought, and 4 years old. It had lost its elasticity and kept falling down to my ankle.

While waiting for the bus to pick me up and take me home I saw a Lincoln pick up truck. I did not even know they made pickups. Looked like an F150 with the Navigator grille until he passed by and I saw the Navigator tail lights on the pickup bed, with the Lincoln emblem. About 20 minutes after that, I saw my old F350 Centurion pickup drive by heading East. I usually never see any of my vehicles after I sell them, but this one is so distinctive it is hard to miss.
