Miller time?

Last night I was in the garage sitting on the grille setting the valves on my newly installed cam, wood stove was going, radio playing great sounds, things were going just right and the urge just hit me to sit back and enjoy a good cold beer, and I very seldom drink.. How many others have had similar experince.?

Sounds like you were having a great time just workin on the ol' truck!!! Sometimes with the the current world problems its nice to just grab a wrench, fire up some tunes and just have at the ford and let the worries slip away!!!

Ditto that.....
I am not a regular drinker really...at least not much anymore.
However, during the summer time, I love to grab a cold one or two or three and wrench on something...only without the test drives.
After 6 or 7 beers though, time to stop working on the truck for safety's sake and head to the back yard, mix a tasty toddy, and enjoy the fireplace.
Come on Summer!!!
