Morning boys and girls... Winter is stopping by for a little reminder this weekend. -12 to -13... Not as bad as Gerry, but bad enough after what we've been through!! I don't mind the little freezes like this in the middle of the thaw though. It always seems to dry things out a bit nicer.

Happy Friday all, have a good weekend.

I'm done with winter. Not even getting an itch to sled. Probably dump a little fresh fuel in it this weekend and fog it for storage. It was a pooper season this year.

Hoping to hear from our Ford dealer tomorrow. They have a nice 2010 F150 FX4 there that my wife really likes. It would be better suited to the rural living than the Fusion, while the Fusion gets pretty good mileage, we've only put 16k on it in 2 years, so the economy isn't a huge concern. When we head on the highway as a family we usually take the truck for comfort and safety anyway, so it nearly makes sense Wife's away this weekend, I'd like to surprise her if they spin the right deal...

In other news, marked out my next project today. A 100 x 60 x 16 pole building. 3 overhead doors, 6 man doors, 3 windows. Metal clad on the outside and inside ceiling. Should be a decent project.

Anyone else got stuff brewing? Hows your summer construction season looking Curtis?

Its a nice unit. My wife is a fan of the FX4 looks. It is a nice truck. I looked it over today. It has a small stone ding in the hood, another stone chip in the grill, rear bumper is not aligned 100%, but overall a very nice ride.

My FIL has an identical truck but '09, we've looked through it and find that the ext cab should have a bit more room than the Fusion. Our girls will be soon be entirely out of car seats. For long trips we would still use the F350 which is crew cab. Essentially we're looking for 4x4 and more protection being that we have to travel highway every time we go anywhere. In the 4 months we've lived on this acreage I've come across 3 multi vehicle accidents, and various ditched vehicles. Every time I see them I cringe at the thought of my family in a small car if something were to happen.

My wife and one of her friends went to the city for a trade show this weekend. They took my F350

Very nice, white is right! This is pretty much a twin to my 2012 FX4.

I prefer a Super Cab with a 6.5 rather than a Super Crew with a 5.5 box.

Morning boys and girls. Winter is back with a chill for a day.

I actually prefer the crew cab 6.5 box, but my wife claims to find it a bit cumbersome for every day driving. Here's hoping my F350 returns from Regina unscathed...

Morris they have a 2011 XTR there pretty much identical to your 2012. They want a little more for it, though it has less kms, I think I'm aiming for this FX4. Its leathered up with heat and all that jazz. Time will tell...
