Goodbye and farewall

Well,
The time came to trade in the truck for something a bit more fuel efficient. So we traded in the in the 02 Ranger 4x4 and picked up a Mini Cooper.

It's been fun on the site. Great people and great information.

Hope you are all well in the future.

Good Luck

It will be fair. If we get too much snow, I still have a full size older chevy as a beater that we can use if it gets that bad.

Yeah - what Paul said.

Just 'cause you're sellin' your truck is no reason to evacuate.

Stick around and have some fun.

That's good. It's nice to have something extra to be able to get around when it does snow alot. Last winter, I had to call in to work twice because my little 2wd Dakota just couldn't make it.

No need to close the door. Stick around and enjoy the conversation!

My youngest daughter has basically taken. . . no confiscated. . . my great little '00 Ranger!

I haven't driven that truck since she got her license a little over a month ago.

She keeps referring to it as, "MY little red chili pepper" and "My truck."


Sheeeeeeeeesh!!!!!!!!



Now what did I do with that old bicycle???
