Welp they totaled the ranger, however I'm keeping it and going to keep driving it as is. They made me a offer on it even after "buying it back" that was within a $100 of what I paid for it 16 months ago. Just waiting on the money to clear the bank now.

Got to spend seven days out on Cape Lookout last week. The f150 did great, though the check engine light stayed on the whole time. But the four wheel drive worked fine, didn't get stuck once. Got it home and vacuumed it out and got it washed quickly to get most of the salt and sand off of it. We cooked a 12 lb shoulder one night, and 20 lb's of shrimp another. Picked up hickory for the shoulder, still have quite a bit left. going to do another one soon, since I picked up two because they were on sale. Had a total of 15 people (kids outnumbered adults) on the trip. Worked the cast net a lot since I was having good luck with it over the surf rods.

Certainly having some hot days this August. Though I think I do remember years where it has been worse.

Thanks again for the help Josh. Dustin, thanks for the offer to help. I hope to never have to move that heavy beast up and down steps again...lol.
I will probably get it cleaned out from manufacturing dust and such tomorrow. Then it will get a good seasoning before the maiden smoke session.
