It was yesterday but we went south of the border to MX. ????. We usually go once a year to walk around, eat and grab some meds as you don't need prescriptions for most things. Having asthma I can get my inhalers there very cheap and with Covid you can get hydroxychloroquine & Ivermectin over the counter.

I had a crown break off so I stopped into my dentist I see there and decided to get an implant. They did the extraction and the bone graft yesterday and in 4 months I go back for the implant. This little area is very safe, clean and is used by people all over the country and the world. Ranger drove great and even leveled with larger tires I averaged 25.3 mpg at 70 mph round trip.

It's amazing when my wife and I go to Cancun how cheap and easy it is to get meds.
I was amazed the first time we went there too. I had a good friend tell me about this place 11 years ago. At first I though he was nuts! But after doing a ton of research and meeting many people here in AZ who go there we felt safe doing it. Now I wouldn't go over to Tijuana or even Nogales that place is nasty and scary. :surprised:

Got back late last night from a camping trip through North Georgia/West North Carolina/East Tennessee. Here are a couple shots from this 1,900 adventure.

Went for a nice long, quiet drive, just me, my music, and my truck. Just what the mind needed...

Went to store and bought few bales of styrofoam. All good to this point.

Then went to loading dock to load them and the POS mountaintop bed cover was frozen solid and did not open. Lock, handles and everything just stuck there.

Luckily I only bought styrofoam bales so I could ratchet strap them to roof & bed rails and had no weight issues.

That mountaintop bed cover seems to be an issue when..
- transporting anything large
- driving in sand/mud (get's stuck on the rails)
- below freezing
- snow

I'd recommend it for people who use their ranger only on asphalt in warm sunny place where there is not much dust or leafs/flying biomatter.

I'd give it usefulness 2/5 (hey, it works 4-6 months in a year), looks 4/5.

At the deer lease! 10 miles of dirt road to get here. 4x2 xlt, air down to 28psi, turn off traction control, no problem! Except the side steps hit everything!

What do you use these styrofoam bales for?

I open the plastic wrap on them to get the individual sheets of styrofoam :)

These particular sheets I use for insulating the drinking pool for the horses, they need water in the winter also. At current -8'C (~17'F) the drinking water gets frozen over the day without some insulation.

First time I put Pep to work in a while...a tiny piece of land my dad deeded over to me before he passed away, pretty much good for nothing...2 trees blew over in the recent high winds, so I cut them up and hauled to my place for firewood. Not sure what kind of trees, but there are chestnuts all over the ground!
