We had an early small Christmas get together at Uncle Roys and Aunt Claydeans. My Mom and step Dad are going out of town for Christmas.

I used my Ranger, with the failing center driveshaft bearing, to take the RF tire off my CRV to Discount Tire to have this sheet metal screw removed, the tire patched from the inside, put back on the wheel, and road forced balanced. I just had the car there several days ago to have all four balanced and rotated.
(I guess I can say Discount Tire, if not, please remove)

Hauled a 50 pound bag of deer corn, er ah, chicken feed home from tractor supply. Yeah, chicken feed, that’s what I meant.
My neighbour puts corn out on her driveway and the deer come up the ravine through my yard. I don’t mind as I enjoy seeing them. I live next to a large conservation area with plenty of wildlife. My neighbour is convinced the deer won’t make it through the winter without the corn. I wonder how she would react if I told her that in some places, the deer won’t make it through the winter BECAUSE of the corn. :D

You are exactly right there. In fact, it is illegal to feed them in some locations around here. To clarify, I NEVER FEED DEER, my neighbor has chickens so I put out CHICKEN FEED. 😜. Just like I put out CAT FOOD for all the feral cats. I can’t help it if like opossums and raccoons and foxes and chupacabras show up. 👀😁

Another save. He was closely monitoring the coolant temperature on the Grand Cherokee since we were just pulling out of the parking lot at work. You would be surprised at the looks you get driving down the road in a Grand Cherokee whilst holding a six foot black rat snake. Not sure why…..

Hit 40k miles today. Got around 2k in a week from old house to new house to old house to parents house. Averaging around 20.7 MPG according to the truck at mostly 75mph.

As much as I dislike this truck and ford, it’s still cool to hit the big 10k increments.

What did you do to the paint to have it looking that good at 148k??? Mine doesn’t look even close to that. I know I don’t wash it enough but yours looks like it’s off the factory floor!
Thanks. I haven’t done anything to the paint but it goes to Mega Spa once or twice a month and when it’s not on the road, it’s backed into the carport to keep the sun from burning it up.

Joel has an excuse because he's somewhat new here. You, on the other hand, haven't been paying attention have you? 🤦‍♂️:shock:😅

I’ve been using dukes version I believe it is 405. I think he may have ripped me off! 🤣

I will not give in to big dampers and their agenda!
