Took some people to COVID test. Roads were covered with that white stuff some people like. From the uncleared hood you can see that it was but ~0.5". Prolly melts by end of the day.

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.

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.

I went out before the family meal and took some photos of the truck. I’m really loving where this truck is headed.

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.

The Everest has been busy hauling stuff for our new house. It has not let me down with room yet. this was a oven,huge vent hood,microwave,and stove top with other materials, 2 inch pipe and cable trey. It hauled 7 bags of concrete and 12 bags of sand the other day. Im working about 14 hours a day getting the house finished up.

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!

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.
