What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[gfitzge2]

Drove the Ranger up to Indianapolis

to see the 500. Pretty good race. Castronevis became the fourth 4 time winner. Its been 30 years since Mears did it. Al Unser, AJ Foyt. Rick Mears and now Helio Castronevis.

Does that crowd look like 40% ?. There was no infield general admission. Glad I have my vaccine shots. Hope it does not cause a Rona surge.?

Greg, IIRC You've been to just about every race except last years so It must've been great to go back. 40% sure of 700,000. ?

Yes it was great to be back. Every one starting in 1987. Went to pole day a few years before that. Back in those days you had to get on a waiting list to even get to buy tickets. Pole day would draw 100000 fans. First tickets were on rickety wooden bleachers inside turn three. The facility and my seats have improved greatly.

Also a gremlin took control of my Sync. It basically just locked up. Sirius was still playing but no matter which button I pushed the screen just blinked but would not change, couldn't even change channels. I pulled in to Mc Donald's shut truck off and opened the door, but screen would not turn off. At that point the radio also quit working. Poor me I had to survive the rest of the way with no radio or nav. When I started back up after the race all was back to normal. I guess the gremlin got bored and moved on.... Maybe to that Toyota parked next to me.

Spent a couple nights in the Citrus Wildlife Management area which is part of Withlacoochee State Forest. 50,000 acres of protected land with a good bit of area for off-roading. Quite a few bird species to see and the nights dark enough to catch the satellites crossing above you with the naked eye.

Nice!

What suspension/ tire/spacer specs are you running?

Hi Folks,

Took the Ranger down Route 66 into Downtown Flagstaff to Beaver Street to the Beaver Street Brewery for dinner and a quart of Railroad Red Ale. Nice outting and chat with our server...Northern Arizona University student. Then to Walmart for white vinegar to get frozen batteries out of flashlights etc...

Now home for a Pacifico and get the RV heat set for the 40 degree temp tonight.

Hi Phil,

We're heading up there at the end of July like we always do to get out of the heat. While you're there you should go over to The Lumber Yard Brewery just over the RR tracks on San Francisco St. They have a lot of good house beers and a great nacho platter. We always hang out there at night on the patio have a few beers and nachos and watch the trains go by.

Another great place is MartAnne's for either breakfast or lunch. It's on the north side of Rt 66 about a block east from The Lumber Yard. You get a ton of food there and there burritos are large. You definitely won't leave hungry! This is their breakfast burro.

Only changes I’ve made to the suspension components are the @Fordrangerlifts.com 2.5” leveling kit. Tires are Goodyear Wrangler 285/70/17 that came off my brothers Power Wagon when he switched to Method Wheels on 37’s. Spacers are FactionFab 1.5” that I picked up from Stage 3.

I drove the Ranger from Georgia to New Jersey yesterday. It was exhausting! But it's good to be seeing family. And I have a great view!

Ranger took me to forest where I did a whole day competence demonstration for three auditors. Kind of planning to get some form of certification in the process or at least grow my own forest a bit better.

Topics for today were:
- Tree types (in Finland)
- Tree & forest measurement height, area, volume, etc. (with stick only)
- Guidance species for different forest types
- Brush cutter maintenance, operation & clearing the forest

Got me 4/5 even though I had no clue about the guidance species.
