Disney is a MASTER at crowd and traffic control.
Our state should take some lessons from them.

I found the filler neck hose pinched off and a hole chafed through it from the spring bearing against it.

With that, I had the local welding shop, reattach the hanger using the trailer receiver foundation as structural support.

Shortly after that we traded in the Blazer for the Expedition.

Hi there Ken & Steve.

I was at the transfer station today.

After unloading I went on the scales.

With a full tank of gas, I weighed 8,980 pounds.

My GVWR is 9,600 pounds.

I'd like to think their scales are not accurate.

I suppose I should swing by a truck stop and get a good weight check.

OK guys I got the approval from Ford on the chapter sticker.
The only thing is they say we need to use one of their approved suppliers.
I will check into this when I get a chance.

Tom had a local decal shop make the decals, but we didn't have the Ford blue oval on ours because we didn't want to wait for the approval.
