What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[OrangeStreak]

This was yesterday.

I don't work on Fridays, so I drove into town to eat breakfast and go to the hardware store to buy a socket to replace the one I lost. It was a nice dreary morning and slightly cooler than usual. I was OK with that.

I got to kinda hang out with all of the retired old men that meet at McDonalds every morning. I'm younger and only semi-retired, though, lol.

Then it was off to the hardware store and the perfect place to park was located.

Before going into the hardware store, I walked to the other side of the strip mall or whatever it's called to visit a couple other stores and a weird thing happened. I was buying three Hot Wheels cars in the dollar store and was standing in line at the register. The woman in front of me stepped towards me, said something, but I didn't understand because she was wearing a mask, and hands me a 5 dollar bill. I was kinda stunned and usually always have something to say, but this time I didn't. I guess she wanted to buy the Hot Wheels for me. It was a weird moment.

The yellow Morris is a Treasure Hunt, I couldn't resist getting it. My Dad had a 1960 Morris Minor back in the 1980s. A fellow employee at work likes the George Barris Batmobile as much as I do, so I bought one for each of us.

Then I got the socket at the hardware store and it was time to go back home.

Bonus story! I drove out to Athens, GA earlier this week on business and saw at least 10 Rangers in traffic. That's a record number for me. I was in my company vehicle, though. (2022 F-150)

Bonus picture! This picture was made two days ago when I was out on business in Kennesaw, GA.

I admired his parking skills and it looked like he really likes and takes good care of his truck. The STX looks really good in silver.

Scott,
Interesting story...now you have $5 toward your next mod...what is going to be?

I used $3.98 of it to buy the Hot Wheels.

No joke, I haven't bought anything for the Ranger since January 2021. I am content with the way it is. I know that's kinda rare around here.

I keep telling myself that I'm happy with everything on the Ranger...then someone here comes up with something I didn't know existed or needed and I pull the trigger! ?

I know, it's almost a disease.

I'm on your side happy with what I have and with what little have done.

Maybe. I'd like to see it smoked, like the side marker lights, and not switchback, just yellow led. I'd consider it then.

Went out and explored Logandale Trails OHV park north of Las Vegas. Friends F250 Tremor struggled in the sand but over all a lot of fun. Took at hit to the tow hitch and a few minor scrapes to the frame.

Any idea how it gets wired in to the turn signal circuit?

I gotta know Scott. The socket you were buying, was it a 10mm?
