Washed the pollen off. It’ll have a nice coating and a yellow tint by dark tomorrow ?????? A hair too long for the garage. Need to get rid of a little more garage clutter

Pepper ? and I ran to Frederick, MD today, to pick up some foundry patterns being donated to the local industrial museum. When we got there and saw all the stuff the guy wanted gone, I said.. we're gonna need a bigger truck! But we loaded what we could, thank you bed extender, and even the back seat was full. Smooth drive, made good time, nothing flew off?. Overall 344 miles, gauge said 25.2 mpg...but I filled up before we left, and when I got home and it was exactly 23.78, so much for the computer. She was washed on Easter, now bug splattered?

Ran over to my local Amish store to pickup poop and compost

Then on the way home some idiot tried sideswiping my poor little Ranger with a super duty on a sharp corner . About the 2 minute mark. Got the companies name and number from the video and called to report the driver. It was the boss and he had dropped his cell phone. Distracted driving. Sorry for the cursing as I was mad.

This is why everyone needs a dash cam.
Definite pucker factor right there! That was too close! Glad YOU were paying attention!

someone ran a stop sign... but that was very close! glad no one got hurt and no damage
Stop at the sign on that T and you can't see with the wall and hedges at the edge of the road. Everybody does a California stop at that corner. It's a 3 way stop.

This was technically Sat, not today ?.

Took my first road trip. Went to Dallas to watch the Dallas Stars play the Vegas Golden Knights. Truck performed flawlessly. Comfortable ride, and I discovered I CAN use my Ipod in conjuction with having my phone plugged in for Android Auto, happy camper ?! On the way back I was able to see the full function of the auto lights working. On the dark areas of the turnpike I was impressed with the auto high beams when they would come on and turn off. I was even impressed with how well the fogs were for stock halogen fogs. Now I have to wash it today ?.
I miss Dallas and I hope you had a chance to grab some TexMex! Yum! =D

Texas has been my favorite place I've lived in so far.

Trevor,
You should consider partnering with David @subquark. You both appear to have hauling in your DNA and can't help yourselves! As a team you could teach guys like this how to do real hauling and dump running!... :clap:

If this isn't Heaven, I don't know what is!

Go Mighty Dumping Rangers!

If I ever move anywhere, Texas is where I'll move, even before moving back home to Hawaii ?. I was stationed at FT. Hood for 5 years (waaaay back in the early 2000's before it became a toxic base) and I loved Texas. It's where I became a Stars fan ?

Did some spring cleanup and ready for a dump run in the morning! YES! It'll be hard to sleep now, just like Christmas Eve! =D

not much volume, but lots of acorn caps and dirt, OMG, the dirt!

just like the grocery store, double bagged to try to reduce what gets under the BedRug - the rope's on the bottom tarp (above the lining tarp) to make it easy to "roll" the debris out of the bed (freakish Ranger bed rake makes everything roll to the front - must be a design flaw) =p

all wrapped up like a burrito gone bad!

This is what his yard looks like between dump runs! :LOL: ...

I can only dream, and what a wonderful one it would be if this be true! =D

Only thing missing - not enough boxes from 303 products! =p

Got too excited heading home for the next load:
