Went to Cali last week and got my truck, finally.

Of course it cost me;
An engine into the X's Suby, 2 days to swap. 1.5 days to build my truck bed trailer that I couldn't get registered to bring back. 1 day of splitting and stacking firewood. 1 day of packing what I thought I wanted only to find out I left the real wants there and 2 days driving back with a wreck of a uhaul trailer, but I made it home. Lil' Ranger pulled as well as can be expected for large tires, a trailer load and trying to keep up to highway speeds. An average of 18 - 20 mpg wasn't too bad. Fortunately the weather was good, not hot or windy.

Now I can go out and explore some without tearing the belly out of my Focus and the next time we have an FTE meet I can drive a truck. I also have a place to hang my FTE sticker too.

I'm so jazzed to finally have it here before somebody smoked out the interior, (dam disrespectful smokers).

Anybody doin' trick or drinkin' on All Hallows Eve? It's my BD and I need a partay!!

no party here, it is still elk season.
my father in law's birthday was on Halloween also.

 

Glad you made it back safely Rich! Feels good to have a truck I bet too! Halloween will consist of a bit of trick'r treatin with my daughter, then Saturday night is the adult costume party at a friend of mines house.

I get to work Halloween ... and the following weekend.

 

Imma need a part time job to help pay off my costs for the surgery and overspending...

no overtime, lack of sidework and my general health have all cost me a lot this year

So I may be working weekends for a long time

 

Well Mark At least you are on the other side & getting your health back. I'm glad to hear your doing OK.
