Bridging "The Gap"?

Hey guys, Im all set up to come out to Saskatoon . I'll be there sometime late on Friday Feb. 24th and staying until Sunday sometime. The wife's got a Master Gardener upgrade course that she'll be taking all day Saturday at the University, so at this point I've got most of the day open. I think her classes are done around supper time, so up 'til that point I'm going to be looking for something to do.
Will you guys be getting together somewhere that day????????
If so, let me know.

If I can get my heated slip tank in the truck and be running on biodiesel, then yes, I'll be bringing the CC. Otherwise, I might be forced to bring the Geo. I know it's marketed by GM, but really it's a Suzuki. Really it is, really!!!! Please don't hate me......

When you have an awesome Ford CC Diesel no one could ever dislike you. With the Geo the money you save can go for goodies for the CC. An Escort next time maybe?

Yeah, I get 50+, so I can't complain there. And you're right about the saving money for more toys for the truck. I've got a couple doosies I'd like, but they may have to wait for a bit. One of these days..........

push? well, um I think I may be busy for ....a while... Good luck though!
They'll be lucky to get 30. Although, 30 from a half ton would be pretty nice too.

Hell yeah 30 would be deadly! My old 89 1/2 ton one time got 26 mpg on the highway, but it only did that once, which I thought was pretty good too!
