What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[Doc]

I'm with you, I do loves me a ham and pineapple pizza. =)

But ... then again, I've been getting the Neptune pizza at the Bratskellar for 20 years now! It’s a cheese pizza with clams and shrimp! =D

Tore it apart the interior and put it back together, whew, I started out to swap the carpet out with rubber mat, that is due to the dog hair factor, my 7 month old German Shepherd sheds so much, I got frustrated trying to vacuum out under and between the seats, the hair embeds in the carpet, I go to the park with her almost every morning and I am usually vacuuming it when I get back, otherwise.... when the wife gets in she grumbles about being covered in hair.

Anyways, while I was at it I thought "I should just throw in some sound deadener" it took me two days to get it all done. the good part is the cab is so quiet now, I only hear the DI pump now, the trans whine, the tire noise and any under chassis noise is gone, it really surprised me how much of a difference it made, and I used the thin stuff, 50ml for the floor and 80ml for behind the rear seat.

I do highly recommend it, but it's a lot of work, I managed to not break any of the clips that hold all the interior together, but damn you have to be so careful

You should get one of these

and if you get a second pup, you can't tell who is shedding and how much!

I have almost the same one in the wife"s car, but for the truck I wanted good support in the center at the console because she goes from the front seat to the back seat a lot on trips. I also wanted her to be able to go to the floor, that way she is not jumping the full height of the seat to the ground, Shepherds have bad enough hip problems.
So I made a steel frame with a plastic top and added a cushion, it also makes the under seat access a little easier.

My two knuckleheads just sleep if you are moving. The one I have has a solid floor, and then I added a 3' pad over it and they are comfy and sit up enough to see us. Took me a while to get there as I don't like covering seats, but on the first road trip the hair was everywhere. Ours can move across a couple of our cars. No room in the back of the Ranger for them though, plus too many mods to be installed are back there in boxes. I just need one more cable for an antenna, and a weekend that isn't 95degrees.

Quick tip: One window down and 50+ mph sucks the hair out.

Drove to the "old times market" and parked to a hay field with few thousand other cars. Toured the shops and bough some greek spiced flat bread, honey and other stuff.

Participated in a quick SRA (applied reservists' shooting*) with airsoft rifle and decided that I'm getting old. Only got the 7th place on the top-10.

But anyway. 19 years from active duty and I still got the grips to be in top-10. Not bad for a medic

Last year I got much better results, but that was with a pistol.

Drove the wife to a dog rescue event. She took home a 9 year old male chihuahua named Tony whose owner died. Will consider new name ideas.
Tony is on the right.

Just One? I have to try that, I roll down all of them, squint my eyes to try and keep the fur cloud out and go 70-80 mph, it removes a lot, but it also spreads it everywhere.

The single window acts like a venturi effect I bet, wouldn't spread it as much, might just suck it out! I'm game to try, my cordless vacuum battery is always on the charger

And Hey!! good job rescuing a older dog?

Saturday, me, my brother & my Dad floated New River in Ashe County NC. Recognized as the 2nd oldest river in the world and 1 of the few rivers in NA that flows in Northern direction. Great Day!!

Cheech's cousin! Tony's a good name. =)

Drove into Pigeon Forge against my better judgment to meet a buddy at the Jeep Invasion on Saturday. Got there early and out before the crowds set the streets to gridlock.
Found some inspiration to start getting my 98 XJ in order!

 

[underwhelmed]

Drove to the bow range this morning. Other guy there saw the truck and asked if my truck was a Ranger and complimented the look. Asked if they still made the Super Cab. When I said no he seemed genuinely disappointed and said "it figures, I'm looking for a new truck." My thoughts exactly. I would probably get a new FX4 6 cyl if they made the SCAB. F Ford!

Went down to Beantown for Kate's annual cancer check-up. Brought the big Cheech since he's a wreck if we leave him home alone all day.

He's still a mess with us but less so. We're actually near the Boston Marathon's famous Heartbreak Hill. A very fancy area with multi-zillion dollar homes but Cheech didn’t mind and pooped all the same on a lovely manicured boulevard. =D

something historic and famous (and I don't mean the tailgate damper)

now we hang out in the parking garage ...

yikes!!! =(
