I need to get the Ex fired up and put some miles on it. Its been sitting for the last week since i got the new truck. Tonight i went and picked the Oldsmobile up from the mechanic. Had the radiator, transmission cooler line and power steering line replaced..should be ready for some top down cruising!

took my landscaping mans trailor to frankfort and picked up two tons of river rock to finish off my project around my pool which has taken so far 10 tons of river rock, still think i need one more ton, also got two scoops of mulch at the same time. had to haul the trailor up a STEEP grade and the X didnt even know it had anything behind it.

I drove the Excursion to a boat rental place to take the kids tubing. We had a great time. When we were coming back in, I got confused as to which building to head toward to get to the rental place. Saw my big white Excursion sitting in the lot, better than a channel marker

Too hot! 90+ degrees with a heat index of 5+ degrees at times.

Oh but you wouldn't know, you snuck down here and left before the heat came back.

Random question.

About half the excursions I see the side chrome trim is missing on the doors. Are they known to fall off or do people take them off?
