Hey Steve. Happy Sunday.

I got all the shrubs in the back yard trimmed. I will work on the front this coming week I think.

Get this. I asked my next door neighbor if I could borrow his leaf blower when I was done just to clean things up a bit. HE SAID NO! It was all cleaned up from last fall and tucked away so I could not use it. A$$ HOLE

The hood had two hole in it from whoever put the bug deflector on it.

It was a nice campground. Not much for amenities, but the view was great!

Nice pic!
Hey all just got back from camping ourselves. We had a great time and no problems. Well almost none. We stopped at a rest area (senic view) and there was an older couple pulling a 5'ver with a 6.0L. He had the hood up and I (being a Ford truck lover) decided to lend a helping hand. He said it would not start, so I immediately assumed fuel problem. Well opened the fuel bowl and yep, no fuel! It was completely empty. I was surprised he made it up the hill.
Well I called Troy (two heads are better than one) to see if he could think of any being he might come across this during his days at work. Tried fuses and checking power to pump. All was good. Took a closer look at the fuel bowl and found the filter to be completely dirty. I pulled it out and it was dripping with a black grudgy fuel. I asked when they were changed and he said 6000 miles ago. I asked when he fueled up last and where and he said this morning (ahha) I figured he got some bad fuel. I also found out the 6.0L have two fuel filters. I guess I could have called Dave since he has one.
Oh well he had warranty and insurance so he said "they will tow it anywhere I want them to". So they tried to pay me for my help and I refused, just told them to do the same for someone else. (good deed for the week).

Good evening all!! Well we just got back from having supper with my folks and my grandparents, also squeezed in a 60 mile town this afternoon!

Dave that looks like one heck of a view! Glad you had a good time. Still waiting on the picks of the hood! haha

Jay you should have neighbors like I have across the street! Lol (cemetary) If you want to make the trip you can use my leaf blower!

Cory glad to hear your weekend with the new camper went well!! Any pics? Great job on trying to help out the fellow Ford guy! After I talked with you I had to go on that tow call and that was when I thought about that second filter but I figured it was too late by then. Sounds like he just did get some bad fuel. Lets hope that was all it was.

Good evening Steve!
