What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[IdahoRanger]

As my vacation week winds down, I simply had to get another dump run in. Rains and all, and it was a mighty tiny run, and maybe I have a problem and need an intervention!

Old gray Craftsman toolbox with a seized-up piano hinge held the engine instruments in the old FJ for the last 47 years! Things of the past like a timing light!

There was an envelope with instrument pamphlets in it with some receipts, showing the trailer park we lived at in Sycamore Illinois when I went to kindergarten (and also where I went behind a tree to "show me me yours and I'll show you mine" with a neighbor girl, only to be caught by my dad before I could see hers! Not that' im bitter about that 56 years later ... =D

I just need to gas up for a cabin run Monday. End of ski season coming even after record snowfall.

Mobile office???

How did you guess?
Originally I was supposed to pick up a shower cabin….

Hey, it's red! That's a good start.

A Dump Runner School sounds like a garbage of an idea! Only the best of the trash will graduate.

With Dean OrangeStreak, we can't fail!

I've got the feeling the guy is staying overnight on dump runs and sleeping on the mattresses. He needs some clinical counseling...

You left the doors open. ?

I don’t know why but I have most of times doors open if I pick up ?
But this time I didn’t remember in which door I left my best friend

 

[Kristina]

YES FTW!

I love Kristina, she's always doing trucky things with her Ranger!

Also pretty neat how the table top can slide under the swing case - bonus points!

Thank you, David!
My day started as a disaster, continued as a mess and ended as pickup loading manual point Nr 6 tells to do.
First, bed cover wasn’t opening more than 1/3. I cancelled shower cabin delivery and drove to deliver few small things to a neighbor. Later tried again and wohoo! Worked!
Everything else is too long and messy story. Day was unexpectedly successful ?

Picked up some stuff for our hunting clubs landowner party. While doing the pickup I stopped by to local tire shop where they repaired the leaking rear tire (a rock went through the contract surface - Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3). While at it I also switched the studded winter tires to normal summer tires (General Grabber).

I apologize for @subquark Kristina...the poster is derogatory, and no one needs to mansplain how to load a pickup truck to you!! Also noted the "manly" poster is from GM, apparently their owners need this reminder?

LOL, thanks for catching me on that TVRangerSTX!

But @Kristina does more trucky things in a day than most of us do in a month - and she can certainly kick my butt when it comes to making full use of the Ranger's awesome capabilities (plus she has that wicked cool tonneau and the secret TAFFR lettering inside her bed.

Hi Folks,

Ranger delivered me to Sonora Quest labs for another cancer determination blood test. I got the screen of systems being disabled for the first time... I hope the battery is not failing again. Run to the Phlebotomist (owch) was only a bit over 2 miles. Almost got hit twice from these old fart drivers....Anyway...Ranger has not been driven for a romp on the freway for many months. Gotta take it out for a drive... Maybe to wake up Tito with a truck ride...he is still ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

best,
Phil

Blood test results show improvement...so no cancer in my immediate future....Whew. Poor Margie was so scared it was the beginning of the end... as I thought too...so tonight...a Scotch on the Rocks to celebrate...Doc says no one before had a value go down, only stay the same or up...

We have postponed Tito's wake up as another round of unnormal cold weather is upon us until Thursday.... I did give him a shell rub today...he responded slightly with foot movement but still ZZZZZZZ!

Best,
Phil
