Ya it was good Joe. Took a long trip to Canmore AB for our oldest daughters wedding. The week after we were camping at a place on Highway 24.
We got home and something didn't feel right with my truck, didn't sound very good either. Turns out I had a siezed caliper on the rear. It was pretty bad. The day before I fixed it it actually spit out what was left of the inside pad. One of the pistons in the caliper was actually in pieces. When I put the pads in the other side I discoverd it was siezed too. I thought I could take it apart and lube it up but no such luck.
Long story short it too two calipers a rotor and a set of pads to the tune of $350.00.
I pulled some pretty big hills on the trips and I can say for sure that my truck sure can pull.

Good evening everyone!
Just got in from Houston and am doing paper work. Have I ever mentioned how much I like paper work?
Hopefully I will have a four day weekend this week. A friend and I are hoping to take the horses to a Bed n Bale in McBride to relax for the weekend.

Had an interesting day today.
Sister in law came over, brought donuts from Tim's.
Went and visited my wife's grandma in the hospital, she broke her hip a couple weeks ago.
Visited my mom afterwards, she's babysitting her other granddaughter.
Bought an 06 Eddie Bauer Expedition.
Should be able to pick it up tomorrow.

She's hanging in there for now.
Yep. It's even dwarfs my wife's Tucson, which we are trading in.
Congrats!
That expedition is probably pretty big compared to the ranger huh?
Oh yea I have a new grandson.

Morning Ken, Steve, Joe.
Looks like pretty nice Joe. Lots of room for a couple more little ones.
I was thinking of taking a wander down to the river this morning for a little fishing. It's raining, maybe I'll go back to bed.
