I love nostalgia. Ford brings back some classic details in the Mustang and the new Bronco and I can't get enough of it. But I think they are messing up sometimes. The new electric Mustang should have been called a Galaxy and the Super Duty Tremor should have been called a Hi-Boy. Just my opinion.

Protofab, I had to make new brackets because I have front leaf springs and I made a heavy-duty winch perch.

Thanks, Mike. It was a Riot! That's a screen shot from video. I wish I could upload the videos. Two mid-50's "responsible" adults, who from a distance, looked like a couple of idiot kids.

Yes, she did pass me a bit farther down the driveway. Video is hilarious!

I remember the "good old days" when I was young and indestructible....

When my wife and I were dating, she had horses and I was a total green horn to horses. She talked me into getting on a set of water skis (with the blade removed) and letting her pull me on the snow with her horse.
It was all good until she got that horse up past a trot. She made a corner, I picked up speed and wiped out!
I didn't break anything (thank the Lord) and I must have traveled another 100 yards before I stopped rolling and sliding. She wet her pants laughing at me.

That was FUN!!!

Now that you're insured, you should probably think twice when she comes up with bright ideas like that..

Mike, here she is passing me on the hill. This screenshot was taken a split second before that smile turned into a shriek. I locked up the brakes so the rope didn't get wrapped around the tire. Dentside hoods are more "Ice-O-dynamic" than four wheelers! Btw, before we started this, I told her, "Now look. I don't want us to be immortalized on youtube for being the dumbaxes that got killed pulling a hood behind a four wheeler."

I remember skijoring behind SUSV's and HMMWV's in Jericho, VT and Ft Drum. It's a lot of fun for the first hour or so. But after the first long day of it, carrying full battle-rattle, it sucks!

We used our pond prowler/2 man boat.
My wife, my 17 y/o son and I all took a turn or 2.

This is in East Texas for crying out loud. We got another 3 inches or so last night.
