That was my dads truck a 1987 Power Ram 5 speed manual. It does have some rust but in pretty decent shape otherwise. I drove it a few times to work in real cold weather with snow on and was unable to get all the salt off in time before it made rust.

Your truck looks real good shape as they are good trucks.

I think mine was an ‘86. It was a long time ago - bought it used. I removed the cracked and faded graphics and had it repainted (same original colour), rebuilt the head (tiny head gasket leak) and it served me well for quite a while.

It was a solid small truck that met all my needs at the time but man, it sure struggled getting over the mountain passes between Vancouver and the British Columbia interior. Manual everything - windows, door locks, transmission, 4WD, locking hubs. It really was a good truck.

I traded it in on a Ranger and have driven Rangers ever since.

As a kid (probably 9 or 10) in the mid 1960's I remember seeing this critter under our couch when my super ball rolled under it. I reached under to retrieve it and saw him hiding behind the front leg of the couch. Tail was curled over his back! They get pretty big, 4" so. He didn't get me, and my Dad took care of him.

We have 3 or 4 varieties of them down there. But this one is the spookiest. The others are all lighter in color, and smaller. I don't like them.

In the early 1990s I came home one day and there was one in the middle of my couch which I didn’t see and I sat down on the couch with no shirt onand it got me in between the shoulder blades and when I stood up it stuck to my back and finally fell off and ran back under the couch. Ouch. ..

I watched my neighbors hand/fingers swell up like sausages when he was removing/replacing rotting wood from his roof eves, and one was under the edge of the shingles. He was reaching up pulling out the soft decaying wood when it stung him! He was in serious pain. His hand swelled to 2x its normal size! He did not finish that day.

A few weekend camp pics from Camp Covington in the UP of MI. The night photo is a flying squirrel going by.

Got back from camp last night and here is a few pictures taken there. This is near Covington MI and in the Upper Peninsula. Seen yet another moose, this one seems to be a young male. The night photos were taken while we were there.
