Forms come off today. Problem is, it rains some almost every day. It's really making a mess of things. Work is getting done but with 40%-100% almost every day in the 15 day forecast, it get's a little frustrating. I can't remember the last morning I woke to sunshine. It's like Seattle here for the last couple weeks and it looks to continue for at least a couple more. Heck, I can't even cut mom's lawn for her as it hasn't dried out once since it turned green!

Isnt that the way it works Rodney? When you’re ready to grow some grass, you won’t be able to buy a drop of rain. At least that’s the kind of luck that I have. Lol

Just busy. Took a new job and don't have daily access to the internet, that doesn't help. Thanks for asking.

Your house project reminds me of the spring of 2004 when we built. Scheduled for the basement of our house to be dug in mid-April. So much rain that spring, basement was not started until late June.

Thanks guys... Someone young will soon come along and comment that this is a Grandpa color but I don't care. I really like the tan interior and Ruby Red. Looks good to my eye.

It sits higher than the 2015. Had to take some trim off the garage to create 2" clearance. Truck sits higher than the stats on the ford website. Rides great though. 6.2L is surprisingly quick. At least quick enough for a Grandpa truck. Not original but she is named Ruby.

I think it's funny that it has an engine block heater and I have never once plugged in either of my 6.7L trucks since 2012. It doesn't get Roy cold here but we are known as the frozen tundra.

I could make stupid comments about the 2020 trucks having new engine and trans and I was scared but that would not be truthful. I just came down with new truck fever and decided it was time for a change. Decision was not made during an oil change though.

One last thing. I've been driving Ford trucks for twenty years now. I need to stop saying that I'm not a Ford guy and that I buy what I like. If you keep buying the same brand, for twenty years, you belong to that brand. I'm a Ford guy.

Bruce...

We're still ahead of schedule, just more wet than planned...LOL We weren't even sure we'd be able to break ground til May 1st so I shouldn't complain too much.

I saw you logged in from time to time and posted about your absence a few months back but no Bruce in sight. Glad to see a new Ford has brought you back...

Bruce the color is great. It is case/Ih color. Tim and I have that equipment. I have had a lot of red trucks but my current one is blue.
Congrats on the truck and new job. Enjoy both.
