Morning Pat. I spent the weekend doing routine maintenance on my three - they all got oil changes and such. Expedition got a bath and a few other things done to it to start getting ready to put it back into daily driver duty too.

I was wondering if you ever drove your Expedition.

It's been sitting a bit this summer, but I do put a few miles on it here and there. Nothing wrong with it, I just like driving the pickups more. But with the Bull getting ready for its winter projects and wanting to get some stuff done to the OBS, it'll start seeing more duty.

Morning Bill, Steve, Jason, Chris, Jim, Pat, Ken, Bud, Jim and anyone that I missed.

Bill sounds like you had a busy yet productive weekend.

Morning Neil. Bill, I've been driving a pickup so long, its tough for me to go back to a car! May have to drive one later this week, Black is going into the shop Wednesday night. Shop is going to let me borrow one of their vehicles. Hopefully it's the shop truck and not the shop Taurus!

Morning Neil. Not hardly enough productivity but yes, I got some things done.

Pat - I hear ya. I'd have a hard time driving a car myself. An SUV is tough enough of a change, especially from the land barge that is the OBS.

Yeah, it's weird. Not something I could do everyday. I do like driving the Mustang, though. Haven't had it out once this year, just didn't have time to mess with it.

I hear ya there. Even the Bull didn't get as many miles as it normally does. I spent a lot of time running material around, so I was using the diesel at work. Sucks not having enough fleet equipment, but they paid me for it...

I'll be curious to see what's going on with Black. When it's cold in the morning, she chugs around 45-50 mph until she's warmed up. Shop thinks either the FICM or the injectors. I hope its the control module, damn injectors are pricey.

Pat I thought that you put a new FICM in when all of the work was done a few years ago?
