So about 6 pm tonight I'm in the back yard with star choice on the phone trying to get a receiver set up. The dogs are out there with me just laying around. All of a sudden my 8 month old pup takes off out of the yard. Here is me with the remote for the satellite in one hand and the phone in the other chasing this dog down the street. Turns out there was a girl pushing a baby in a stroller down the street. So this girl starts kind of freaking out saying get the dog away from me. I say she wont hurt her and apologize to her.
So we get back in the yard and I put the dog in the house and get back to work with star choice. Two people with a dog show up at my gate which is open so I ask the star choice lady to hang on for a minute. Turns out it's the lady who was pushing the baby and her husband.
She came back to apologize for reacting the way she did. I told her she didn't need to do that because she did what most people would do. Just wasn't what I expected when they showed up at the gate.

Hi Val. Can't really complain I guess. How about you. We have only been out camping 7 or 8 times. Kind of a slow year for us.
Only news here is the guy behind us says he wants to buy our house. Says his daughter who lives in Texas wants to move here. Says he will buy us another house and make it worth our while. Guess we will see.
How are the bronco's coming along? Got yours mobile yet?

Well, when we met up with you that was our only camping trip this year. Hard to go camping when we are both working 6 days a week. And now that Dustin is in Kindergarten....not going too far.
Sounds good on the house deal, hope it works out for you.
Well, right now neither of them are running LOL.....no insurance on Al's so hard to go get my tranny. But hopefully within the next couple of weeks. Never did get ahold of the guy about the one at the wrecker there to see what he wants for the whole thing, he never answers his phone.

I saw the guy from the wercker in Lordco today. Decided I wanted to change my transmission filter. Well it turns out that the only place I can get tranny fluid is from a Ford dealer. Transmission has two filters one being external. This one I can get from the auto parts guys. The internal well you guessed it another Ford only item.
Looks like a road trip is in store.

Nope, btw the external one is a bitch, IF you get it open do not overtighten it. The bracket is crap and the housing is pot metal or cheap aluminum. The internal filter is available in LuberFiner as part # T865 reference here Luber-finer Heavy Duty Filtration Products - Online Catalog / Filter Finder go through automotive to get all part #'s. We get the transmission fluid from Ford to our warehouse so I doubt there is a good aftermarket source of Mercon SP yet.
