Hi Dave,

You are on! And, okay cat is out of the bag...Dave and Annie came over to our house in Green Valley for the first time we had ever met each other through many years of posting, It was a great outing that lasted well beyond the standard 3 hours. And No, I did not buy any 303 products!
They also saw Tito who was in ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ land in Margie's painting studio.
Sorry Phil I’m just seeing this now 6 months later.🤦‍♂️ I must of responded to your other post and didn't see this one afterwards. We were looking for a different restaurant to go eat tonight and I had remembered you telling me about a couple Mexican ones and that's how I saw it.

Yes, it was great to finally meet you and Margie and Tito after all these years on here. Too bad he was hibernating for the winter but it was still cool to see him. Like I told you the other day we're probably coming up to Flagstaff the end of August and will let you know so we can all go out for dinner and drinks. We'll have to leave Tito home because he got a little out of control the last time we gave him alcohol and introduced him to Rob Zombie. :rockon:

A nasty shelf cloud coming ashore at Bruce Beach this afternoon.

It formed very quickly and came in with a wall of wind and rain pushing it.

Meh, Arizona says hold my beer. lol

I'll take that over the dust storms (monsoons) we have here. There's no warnings with these. This was in Phoenix from 2018 and it reached the west valley but luckily not as bad.

Nice! I loved my GSXR 1000 it was my favorite of every street bike I ever owned. I had a Vance & Hines pipe and a power commander on it and could barely keep the front wheel on the ground through the first 3 gears. lol

My second favorite was my Scott Russell replica ZX-7.

That Kawasaki livery was iconic!

When I rode for the OGC Gary Fisher MTB Racing Team (many, many buffalo seasons ago), the XC team bikes were a similar green and blue colour scheme. Other riders on the circuit called us Team Kawasaki. 😆

We did something today…
Funny story…The transmission in our 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE started the death whine earlier this week at 90,000 miles.

Toyota has issued T-SB-0008-21 for it and would you believe the corrective action is to straight up replace the transmission?!?!

Our local Toyota dealer was not much help with assistance and the quote for a new UA80 transmission was $7,000…WILD my 10r80 with a known manufacturing design issue ended up outlasting it…🤣🤣🤣

Now we are a member of the Bronco6g club with our 2025 Big Bend w/ Black Diamond package! Pretty much similar platform as our Rangers with slight updates to the transmission as I understand..

Congrats! Nice looking Bronco and addition to your Ford family.

The Bronco has the same 10R60 transmission as the new 6G Ranger. Hopefully it'll treat you just as well as your Ranger has.

I know somewhere out there Dave Ramsey is shaking his head but from my point of view it was a Lose-Lose situation.

Either take an additional loan out to finance the transmission or cut loses with a new vehicle. 😑

The employee pricing and incentives on 2025 MY worked out pretty good this weekend. Not to mention the dealer gave us KBB for the Highlander even with the issue..🤙🏼🎆🇺🇸🎇
