Damn, Skags is plowing (not dirt I'm sure), AdirondEx is drinking adult beverages down by the river, Jim's working rocks in the 90* heat, TJC & Krewat prepping for a a storm, Teddy prepping for bear wrestling, Bronco rolling out the meat jacket and bear suit for Teddy, Matt hanging out in the grocery store, levitating I'm sure, and I just got back in from my 14 hour Friday. Damn fellers, I'm ready for a (5 or 6) cool one. 425 miles round trip. No 550 today though. I drove it Monday and I wasn't down with that rough riding S O B for the trip today. Plus it was only about 15 or 16k gross. Have a good rest of the evening.
Getting ready to get off I-95 in Jax. If I had driven the 550 I probably would still have been in Daytona. I hauled a** down there and back because I got a really late start. The 550 has the de-tuned 6.7 and 4.30 gear ratio. It would have been turning about 2500 RPM's at this speed and drinking the hell out of fuel. I generally get 9-10 MPG's with it keeping highway speeds around 70. My new F-350 with the 10 speed is getting at least 1 MPG better than my '18 did.
This is impressive! I like it! Busy day for sure, you deserve that (5 or 6) beer!

Rezvani's Latest Post-Apocalyptic Monster Is a Ford F-150 Raptor Underneath
Damn dudes....... meat jacket was a huge success and even the baby d1cks. It’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean...... at least that’s what I tell the wife. Dang, she replies with..... ya but have you ever tried to cross the ocean in a row boat...... self burn.
I just had to kick my new employee out of my house. Dang 24yr old punk comes over calling my co owner lazy and bad mouthing him. Of course this kid is high as a kite and been drinking whisky all day. Seriously, just randomly showed up at my house..... no invite..... no nothing. By kicking him out of my house, I mean by the scruff of the neck. This young generation really grinds my gears. 🤦♂️
Anyways, dang Bowtie, you got to get your kid back at work from the newborn “vacation”. You’re supposed to be in the office FTEing all day and taking afternoon naps. 😂
