That was my first thought when I read through the Ford site, but PUT.com seems to think otherwise.

Morning

Out in Eastford, CT and it's 35 degrees out there. Went out with the dogs at 5:30 this morning and in the camper 47. Turned on the heat. Now 55 degrees.
Bed room 66 degrees.

Kathy is thinking of trading in her Jeep Sahara for a Jeep Cherokee Limited. She is not sure weather she wants to loose the convertible or not. We have the soft top on in the summer and the hard top on during the winter. I also have the tube doors hanging in the garage, but we haven't put them on the Sahara this year. Kathy thinks the two door Sahara is just to small but love the convertible. I saw the Limited at the Dodge/Jeep dealer in Ellington yesterday and it seemed solid and had a good look to it with a nice sun roof. I just sit back and wait to see if she goes for it.

That new Super duty looks clean. I am still trying to get use to the grill.

Good morning everyone!

Sounds like it's getting chilly out there John. Today's high is supposed to be 80, but looks like 60's starting tomorrow. Hoping to get the boat out this afternoon.

Hannah and I set up the tent in the back yard last night, and we had a nice fire in the fire pit. Made some s'mores and relaxed outside with a beer. Perfect end to a good day. We took Hannah down to the Beardsley Zoo yesterday. I ended up sleeping in the tent overnight to check out how well my sleeping bag does in the cooler weather. Held up alright, but I'll probably opt for my heavier bag this fall. Hoping to get out camping/backpacking a few times before it gets too cold.

Good morning guys.

Josiah check out Sierra Trading Post - We Are All Explorers. for camping gear. I have gotten some good deals from them. Just put it in your cart and let it sit for a day or two and they will comeback with a 25%-35% off deal.

Did anyone check out the moon last night. It was cool looking.

Morning.

Went home yesterday after a good weekend of camping and decided to go for a ride to Vermont. Took route 5 instead of the highway to enjoy the mountains and farms. Thinking we were a week early there weren't any trees changing color yet. On the way back stopped in West Springfield for diner. Then got stuck in heavy traffic from the Big-E on 91. Probably should have stayed on 5.

Foggy this morning. Going to work on the wood pile some more today.

Good morning everyone.

That sounds like a good ride John. Up here we have a tourist trap called Ely, MN which people travel to so they can watch leaves change color. It's way up there though. I'm 65 miles north of the twin cities, and ELY is another 200 miles north of me.

It's hard to adjust to being in a large state again. There parts of Minnesota that are nearly 400 miles from here.

We lived in upstate NY and we were use to travel. People down here in CT think we are crazy in the distances we travel on a normal weekend. Love Maine lobster so we drive to Maine for a lobster diner.

Just a note you left just a little to early. They are watching a storm that may turn into a hurricane, maybe. lol

I'm right there with you, John, having grown up in CO. We often took day trips up into the mountains that would easily take 3-5 hours one way.
