I went to AOAA in Central Pennsylvania and beat the breaks off my Ranger today. It was a blast. There's what I can only describe as a schute that was pretty wild then another one that made the first one look like a major roadway. I even got to use the locking differential!

So today is the 5 year Rangerversary of my Lightning Blue Ranger. The time is flying by so fast and it still seems like I just brought it home. I took it out to Cars and Coffee today for doughnuts ?

Sounds interesting, any photos of the chute?

I'm historically terrible at photos but we can use our imagination... Like the fish that got away.

Realistically, probably something like a 20 foot climb with a wash in the middle, high sided on either side. One giant rock in the middle you absolutely don't want to land on.

Busch Light? How close to water can you get? I like regular Busch as it is a light crushable refreshing day long beer. I was recently in a store that didn't have regular Busch, but had a crap ton of light. WTF?

Aren't they all about the same watered down crap?

I actually like bud light lime, prefer it over anything else. Gotta stop drinking though... Health issues.

I prefer full-bodied beers with a lot of flavor. I really love IPA's, but those tend to be high ABV, and not really refreshing on a hot day.
But if I plan to be doing something where I am out all day, I prefer something lighter, but not as light as most of today's light, ultra light, super light whatever. I'd rather save my money and drink water.

Oh yeah, full bodied.

Dark Villain and Fairy Dust are nice beers. Comfortably Numb is killer.

For a hot, summer day, try a Belgian or German wheat beer with a slice of orange in it, such as Hoegaarden (Bel) or Weihenstephaner (Ger); if you can't find those, Blue Moon does a fair job at recreating the proper thing, and is a little more readily available in N. Am.
These are full-bodied, full of flavour, but have a lower ABV and are easier to drink in the sun & heat.

Left the truck at the dealer this morning....

Transmission - hard 3-4 shifts. Holds 9th gear at highway speeds.

Parking brake boot - cracked.

Hvac - sloshing water sound behind glove box and fan sounds like crap, again.

They said a week before they know anything... Sure hope when they tell me they have to replace the tranny I at least get a loaner...

I gotta say, Everytime I took my subaru to the dealer I was given a loaner, didn't matter if it was for an oil change or a complete engine side hvac system replacement... Sort of a disappointing rralizatoon that "Ford doesn't do that"...
