What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[P. A. Schilke]

Greg that's why I'm afraid to retire, at least my job keeps me fit and in shape, If/when I retire I'll be twice the size of that picture the way I eat! lol

HI Dave,

In Tucson, it is El Guero Canelo's for Sammy Dog Sonoran Hot Dogs. A taco cart that out grew its spot....Made Bon Appetite, New Yorker Mag etc....Quite famous.

I was working on paying bills this evening, including the payment for the Ranger and I thought to myself "It hasn't been driven in a month."

So I drove it a few miles and got on it a little.

I know some people get the tuning, but I couldn't be happier with how much power it already has. It goes over bumps so darn well and I still love the Borla/Ford Performance exhaust.

I stopped and made a picture in the covered bridge nearby. It has around 815 miles on it and I haven't had to wash it yet.

Rented a 5x8 trailer in Fort Worth, towed to Tyler empty-20.3mpg. Loaded the trailer with big stuff (not very heavy), along with a couple items in the bed, and returned=18.5mpg. 65mph both ways on cruise control. Could hardly tell I was towing anything. Very impressed!

Hi Phil,

I'll have to check it out next time we''re down that way. We've only been down to Tombstone and Bisbee once a few years ago then stopped at the Titan Missile Museum. That was a great museum!

The Ranger took us to dinner to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. You'd think I'd learn by now not to stuff my face with the free chips and salsa before the meal. ?

We’re much alike then. I’m the same way. Can eat like crazy and amaze people with what I can put away. The ol hollow leg excuse get used often. Still slim and it’s not stopping ether. Been that way my whole life and in my mid 60’s now can still do it but not like I use to. One thing about being this way though, putting on weight is near impossible. My wife tried more than once and gave up totally pissed off that it wasn’t fair!!! ? One of my daughters got it from me and doncha know she’s a professional model now. She thanks me all the time!!!! Hahaha wife is still pissed though! ?

I can dig that.
Got gas at Costco this morning and it had gone up to $2.77 for 91 octane
Pretty sure it was just $2.55 a little over a week ago at last fill up.

I just paid 3.69 for 91 octane at Costco in Kalifornia. Over $4.00 per gallon at the corner Chevron.

That looks like a great tour. I love those old control rooms. These are from Kennedy space center. This is the bunker where the controls were that launched Mercury astronaut, Alan Shepard . It had to be built like a bunker because it was only 300 feet from the rocket. They used Direct Current controls and voltage drop prevented them from being any further away.

Lol Everyone use to say "wait until you turn 30" well that came and went and now going to be 57 and still can't gain a pound to save my life. My gf gets so mad because she has such a hard time losing weight. She's had a few injuries which kept her from working out for over a year and then having a desk job doesn't help. She'll watch me eat and just shake her head and tells me one of these days you're going to be huge! lol Even when my parent come to visit my mom say "damn I'm glad I don't have to feed you now"! ?

Why do they have flying saucers for ceiling lights? ?

I noticed them too. I guess even though they were doing life or death serious work, they still had a sense of humor.
