I drove the Ex to work this morning, came home for lunch and grabbed the Oldsmobile since it was nice out. Then the Boss got back from Cabo and wanted me to detail his new Lincoln. I'm trying to get ready for a trip to Seattle on Thursday night, trying to get work in order since i'm going to be out of state much of this month is a bit overwhelming...

Anyway..only 1,900 miles..grand kids did a number!! molded raspberry's, pretzels all over, suckers stuck to the carpet and mud caked in the wheel wells from a 120 mud road drive over the weekend, i had to work for this one. Maybe he shouldn't let other people put 1,000 miles on his new car in 2 weeks.

I did it for extra cash for the Casino! two trips this month with gambling involved

Kids can be so rough on a car/truck its absolutely amazing. I'm constantly washing my own windows and wiping down door panels and seats..and i don't really make a mess! How a car with 1,900 miles on it could look the way it did amazed me.

I actually like the Ford Edge and the Lincoln MKX cousin, I would never own one but they are nice. I still can't believe this is what he replaced my F-150 with though!!

Actually there is a truck in Toledo that we are looking at for a work truck. This trip could be a win win for me!

Touché brother, I feel really confident with my 6.0 specially after back to back trips 3000k and 2000k. And just think it only cost me 12k to have a reliable 6.0 lol...

Did nothing to either truck yesterday except drive the 6.0 and see the 7.3 as I got home.

However, today September 4th, marks 11 long years on FTE for me! Since then, I've learned how to tear apart and put back together the 7.3 and 6.0 in my sleep and have helped save MANY FTE Brothers and Sisters from a trip to the dealer.

This is an awesome place....
