We have had warm weather recently, so roads are bare. I decided to take truck to airport to meet our daughter's flight from Australia. My F350 is too tall for the underground parking, so she got a kick out of her ride, suitcases piled in bed.

We were touring around town on the way home, showing the sites that have changed, and drove through a speed trap (under limit of course). Got the thumbs up from one of Canada's finest.

We won't have many more of these days before Christmas , so have been taking advantage of being able to drive the F1 late in the year.

 

Good for you Tom. What a special moment! Wish my daughter could have come home for Christmas. She lives in Baltimore. You're right about the white stuff. The southern states here in the US have already got a taste of it while we have been basking in 40 and 50 degree dry weather. Have a Merry Christmas!

 

Sounds like a fun trip. I'm sure you are glad to have her home.

 

So cool. The airport run to pick up family is on my bucket list too!

You should have posted a pic with your daughter in the truck!

 

My daughter was pretty excited to be home so we headed out to watch some wind ice surfing, west of us. She wanted to drive so here's a little video for your viewing pleasure.


You can take the girl out of the country, but................

A good day!

 

Very cool!

 

Great video of your truck and your girl!

 

Tom, that truck is absolutely immaculate! I love it. The weather? It would kill me....I am a warm weather kinda guy.

 

Hey Tom,
Warm enough to go watch Wind Ice Surfing! You know... that doesn't
sound all that warm to me... She's smiling....loves her dad's old truck!

Looking good up there in Alberta!

Thanks Ben. temps "soar" to 6 degress C during the day; overnight lows of minus 5 degrees C (23 F). The ice on the lake is 8-10 inches, but no snow. Perfect for the kite boarding! Just enough wind for the smaller kites. Snow is on its way this weekend, lows of -12 C.

 

You have to be one proud Papa, beautiful truck, beautiful Daughter, sharing a beautiful day, in beautiful Canada. Thank you for sharing such a heart warming moment.

 

What a great experience I will bet your daughter enjoyed that almost as much as you did. Love that truck.

 

Thanks for the video Tom. Looks like fun.
It finally stopped snowing here today. But it is just a short reprieve as were are supposed to get more tomorrow and Saturday. I guess my truck will be in the garage a little while longer despite almost being road legal.
