I recall in another post, that he said that he buys fuel from Propel. Propel Diesel HPR is not biodiesel, however, it is manufactured from similar renewable biomass sources including recycled fats and oils.

Happy Sunday fellers, laying around with a crab feed hangover. Been busy with work, business partner is expecting baby in a week so that won't help. Saw you a couple weeks ago at Homie Depot, Scott.

what do you prefer, spider caps or dog dishes?

Has everyone dried up? Or are some of you guys still under water or under snow? Wild mustard & fennel are popping up all over the place around here. I used to harvest it and give it to me ex. She always thought that I was shopping at a gourmet store or farmers market.

We have had rain every day except one since January 30. Today looks like it will be cold and dry. Once I get my coffee and breakfast choked down, I think I'll go looking for some chanterelles.

The dog dishes look most original on that truck, but the spider caps spiff it up a bit. Maybe a compromise might be a set of baby moons?

I like both, but lean towards the spider caps myself.

I posted in 2017+ 6.7 so I'll copy and paste here.

" Picked up my truck, had a few scratches and even some primer showing with clearcoat over a spot and a few fisheyes. I didn't wait 58 days to complain to the dealers but I wish Ford would do a better job in the paint department, big disappointment there.
As for the scratches either from transport or at the dealer before I took delivery, through the clear to the base on driver side rear door to cab corner, must have been something metallic with sharp edge. Swirl marks all over, yea it's a black truck but I've never seen a brand new truck with clear over primer and dealer detailer usually do a bad job but I thought I'd give them a chance. well never again! LOL Indentations in the clear from obvious contact after color but before clear coat went on. (factory mistake) Well I will probably end up fixing those mistakes myself and out of my pocket since I want it done right like the old saying goes. I just told the dealer to take care of me later. Time to bust out the polisher and compounds, paint correction then ceramic coat it myself! I just wanna drive the truck and that I did! "

Now I have a serious case of truck envy. Thanks, thanks a lot.

Seriously, though, that is an awesome looking truck. I hope it gives you many years of enjoyment.

Mechanically it's wonderful! I'm keeping it, the dealer gave me a 20year/200K miles powertrain warranty and I got the 150K/8yr Premium ESP 100% covered. That should add some value to the truck also being unique as a SCLB build only allowed in F350 Lariat as the highest trim. I got all the working necessities and left out all the tech upgrades like adaptive steering, lane and cross traffic sensors, not needed tho it's a pretty cool system on the Pilot
Elite we bought 3 days before I got the truck, more of a ladies tool imo. lol

I always thought of the Honda/Acura AWD & SUV vehicles as "ladies' cars".
