What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[Canadian Ranger]

Drove up to Backbone Rock Recreation Area to fly fish a creek I had not been to before. It did not disappoint. Best day ever fly fishing in Tennessee. One of th e prettiest streams I’ve ever fished and had plenty of trout. Caught 23 rainbows and 5 of my targeted wild brown trout. One nice fat rainbow about 16” and a 15” wild brown on back to back casts.

In a rare oversight fishing was so amazing I forgot to get a pic of the truck. About a 2.5 hour trip for me each way. Got a hair over 24 mpg on the trip.

AWESOME!!! I go fly fishing 4 days a week from April-Sept. Love it!!

I'm a fan of being completely retired. It's been 15 months and not once have I been bored nor have I missed working for one second. Unfortunately, retirement comes too damn late in the life cycle!

Took Annie out to Manuel's for her birthday. It's one of our favorite Mexican restaurants here where you still get good food for a decent price. Luckily there's a really good Mexican restaurant right near where we're moving to. ???

Unfortunately not this time. I had to many places to go after we ate and between the heat and being tired I wasn't taking any chances drinking one. I'm a lightweight now. ?

The food was really good!

It’s funny you bring this up because I was going to post a question to you. Something like, “When did you say to yourself, when I retire, I’m going to fish all the streams I’ve always wanted to and a bunch I already have?” ?

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Tucson was the 'El Indo, on the South Side; great Oaxacan style fare. Unfortunately Covid got it.

Yeah, unfortunately covid ruined a lot of things in this world!

I've never been to Tucson. The closest we were was when we did a small 4 day trip to Tombstone then down to Bisbee then up to the Titan Missile Museum which was really cool to see.

Has always been the plan for retirement. Also includes hunting. Got a rut bow hunt in KY set up already And probably get to Texas for a late season whitetail hunt as well.

I'm close to the border now, actually closer than I'd liked to be. That's another reason we're moving farther away. You'd think living here in AZ there'd be all these great authentic Mexican restaurants but it's the opposite. Most are overpriced, bland chain restaurants. ?

I Hauled a Crate engine 2.3L ecoboost from the Ford Dealership... with my 2.3L ecoboost. I'm glad I bought those APG Deaver leaf springs! The Ranger didn't even notice that it had a spare in back.
