I really like that color Kristina. It looks like dual exhaust out the back! I would take a SCAB Raptor if they made one but they won't bummer.

Went outside, looked at it, and tried to visualize the wheels and tires I'm thinking of buying for it that I absolutely don't need because the wheels are fine and the tires only have 1,500 miles on them. Oh yeah, and thought about the tune I don't need either.

I gave Lucille a bath. Wow that was a lot of work since she hadn't had one since maybe January. I used the 303 graphene detailer too. I am not impressed with the chemical guys foam cannon. Construction on my street for the last year so she will just get dirty daily with all the dump trucks, back hoes rambling around my house daily. The first picture is for Dave. LOL

I hear you. My truck is running fine after 20k and I'm still convinced I desperately need new suspension, wheels and tires. This forum...:rolleyes:

The Ranger went to the dealership for a FordPass and wifi trouble shooting appointment. Turns out it need a new Telematics Control Unit (TCU), 1254 big ones! I'm hoping Ford customer care can help me out with this, it all started about 600 miles after warranty :headbang: :thumbsdown::crying:.

Took a 300 mile round trip up into SW Virginia. Beautiful country! Got 25.2 mpg indicated going 50-80 mph. Never adjusted for my 32” pizza cutter tires.

Was shake out trip for my 5,000 mile upcoming road trip. Going west to do some fly fishing and camping.

Head west on the 30th. 40k service and oil change on Monday.

ROAD TRIP!

Maryland to Northwest Illinois… wife, 2 pups and a daughter pick up at O’Hare. 833 miles, $1 Billion in tolls, 16 hours (I think traffic in Chicago accounted for 8 hours).

Gossamer did great ❤❤ love this truck!

Added a Mod!

Latest, post First Robotics Houston trip, project.

Seems the one tool I use more than reasonable is my air compressor. Just did my 2005 mini van with a slow leak, and them someone at work had a slow leak that they didn’t notice.

Always wanted to fill this void space, so, fun design time.

This is the second print. ABS. Only two screws hold it in, green lines/circle. The mounting brackets went through at least four iterations. All done in ONSHAPE.

We do a lot of hex lightening on our robots, and I like it in this print also since I didn’t want a water trap.

May have to find a switched 12 VDC source. I will put the compressor in a zip lock bag before the next West Coast rains. I will also keep a rage to check the oil in here.

Can’t wait for my engine cover to come it. May get some Hot Tomato red paint and spray it and this piece if there is any left.

For the sharp eyed readers, they will notice that I an not using my prop rod! Last photo has the struts I put in and did a video on.

Today live cargo day - bed full of chickens. No pictures, no point as they were in boxes.

Raptor is still daily topic and of course we can’t let each other live nice and calm.
Husband talks to my Ranger “Mommy doesn’t love you anymore and wants another truck instead.”
Me “Lie! Of course mommy loves you, but you need a younger sister or brother!”

Big Blue and I brought the camper home to be de-winterized for the summer season. Forgot to take picture hooked up, but here it is in the driveway. Got it backed in on the first try. :clap:

Hi Folks,

Today was a stressful day for the Ranger. Margie told me she needed to learn to drive the Ranger before we head out to Flafstaff for the summer. So I told the Ranger it was time for her to drive. Ranger flashed the screen that the battery was low and key services were disabled. I ignored and back the Ranger out of the driveway. It sat there quivering, but Margie hopped in and we adjusted the seat for her and away we went. Margie showed she could drive it and the Ranger stopped quivering after realizing she could drive the Ranger well enough. So on to Flagstaff day after tomorrow with the Ranger in tow behind the RV....Ranger is now comfortable with her behind the wheel...

That said, I have decided to enroll Margie in the Paul/Tracy parking school prior to leaving for Flagstaff.

Best,
Phil
