What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[P. A. Schilke]

Hi Folks,

Today my Ranger and I picked up a friend and neighbor and headed to the friend's daughter's newly purchased townhome to pick up two huge window screens that were in need of repair. We then headed back to True Value hardware store for drop off for renewing the screen. Next week we will pick them up and install on the windows. No heavy load...just being able to pick up big stuff beyond what a car could handle.

best.

I’m overhauling my garage trying to make room for the Ranger along with my second car. This is the second load to the dump. This is an 84” x 24” x 24” cabinet. I would have had to do the same thing with a full size truck with a full size bed.

Went to Mecum auctions at State Farm Stadium. Though about putting the Ranger up for auction but didn't want to show up the Ferrari's there. ? They had the Dodge Hellcats there giving drifting rides which was fun and also the Ram TRX truck on a small course. It was a short course but the Ram pulls very hard and puts you back in your seat. 700hp/650tq from the supercharged hemi. Wonder if Ford will offer something to compete with this?

Went to friends cabin for the weekend. Had a drive in 10-15 inch of snow for 2 miles. Then participated into building of a fireworks show and took pictures of it. Might have taken couple of beers *cough* more.. Backseat took a long video but I ain't got skills to share it yet, so you'll have to do with stills from the video...

Nothing special, I pulled it out of the garage and drove it around the neighborhood. It hasn't moved in 3 weeks, I think. I know I need to get out more.

It's so much fun to drive. My previous vehicle was a 2001 Bullitt GT and the Ranger feels much more nimble even though it's ride height isn't exactly low.

Went to Home Depot and flexed on a Gladiator Rubicon - they look so much bigger on TV.

Maybe it's the perspective of the photo, but is the driver side lower than your passenger side?

Nice optical illusion. For me is I mentally subtract the shadow it sits square. With shadow looks like 2” low ?

That's because he didn't do a jeep old lady 15 point reverse back-up adjust and back and...

Just 30 mph reverse with right hand turn, jam brake, shut off motor. Shocks had not recovered from g force compression yet!

Haha - I thought the same thing when I saw that picture. It’s just the angle I was on and the camera in my old iPhone 5. Everything looks crooked. It’s dead even in person.

Today the Ranger hauled it's most precious cargo yet! My first born! ?

Proud first time papa that I am, can't help but share the joy with Ranger5G! He's being a bit fussy in this shot as mom left the truck to console our dog who hadn't seen her since Sunday morning. Introductions went well and soon we'll be riding in the truck all 4 of us! Hopefully I'll have this truck long enough to give him his first driving lessons in it!

Spring is definitely here in Toronto and folks are eager to get their places ready for the warm weather. With COVID still a huge problem, I’ve limited myself to outdoor work only. Thank goodness there’s plenty of that here.

I spent the day driving True North around the city visiting customers who need new fences, decks, and a catio - nope, that’s not a typo - I wrote “catio”.

I asked the same question you’re asking right now; “What the heck is a catio?” Turns out, it’s basically a screened in porch for a cat that is accessed through a pet door in a window screen.

Here’s an example...

Yep, turns out, people will pay good money for someone to build a custom play area for their cats.

Hi Folks,

Ranger and I delivered a 5.5 ft table and 6 chairs to my friend and neighbor's daughter and son-in-law's townhome that they just purchased to give them a table and chairs in which to sit for their brief visit to the place before they finally make it their snow bird home. Then back to the hardware store to pick up the huge 6 ft by 5 ft screens that had been replaced by the hardware store. Installed the screens with quite a bit of difficulty due to stripped retainer clips.... will have to resort to rivnuts for a robust repair at a later date. Then back to friends house for some much enjoyed Malted Beverages and home where the Ranger went to sleep in its warm garage.

Tomorrow is the vehicle line up for my final Covid Vaccine shot up in Tucson...then Costo, Home Deopt to get a window shade and Olive Garden for an early dinner....Ranger is excited to be the vehicle of choise for tomorrows trip, and it knows it gets some nice quality fuel at the Costco gas station.

Drove to work in the Ranger today. Was there about 2 hours - my normal for each week. Been working from home for about a year, and stop by the office once a week. If I'm there twice a week or all day, people wonder whats going on.
Also swung buy the Ford dealership to get my mud flaps that came in.

Let my daughter drive us in my Ranger to her favorite burger place while taking a break in the middle of us detailing her Prius. We washed, removed iron, clayed and applied 303 Graphene. Car’s pearl white paint looks good for 11 year old one (and a Prius at that). It was the last of my time off to bang out with her during her Spring Break. We went to the Alabama Safari Park, DeSoto caverns and today was clean her car day.
