Welcome almost back Chief. It'll be a long 3 days, but worth it. Congrats on everything the wife has done for your truck, and thanks for your service.

That's one that made a few too many trips down in the bilges/tanks/voids.

I have a problem with changing out of wash khakis and into coveralls.

Too many of these young kids today don't think a Chief will get dirty and they try to hide crap.

A little bit of dirt/rust never hurt anything and (usually) washes out.

Have a safe trip home. I just renewed my contract for another year, was home last month and enjoyed driving my F-250 immensely. I didn't realize how much I missed my truck until I got behind the wheel. These stupid Toyota trucks we drive out here suck.
