Traded it in today. Also unloaded my Hellcat for this thing.
A little unexpected,as I really wasn’t looking.
‘Anyhow,happened across an F150 Shelby Super Snake sport..
Needless to say,it followed me home ??
775hp Antimatter blue,they start out as loaded XLT’s 301A mid package trucks.They get sent out and heavily modified.
Heres a couple pictures.

Went to the nursery with my daughter to pick up shrubs. They did well strapped against the tailgate for the 15 minute ride. Helped her plant them and loaded up the tools and headed home. One of these days I'll remember to take pictures of the pickup earning its keep.

Hi Folks,
Today the Ranger went back to Best Buy that sold me a incorrect piece of hardware to solve my wife's problem...Somewhat my fault as I do not watch TV and do not know how to help her with her delema. So got $251 returned to my card...
Then to the fuel station as the Ranger was about 1/8 tank... Filled up to the tune of $75.73! This really sucks! Vote your wallet!
Then back home for the evening and a walk of Tito before his dinner...
Best,
Phil

We have cut back on our spending and our monthly credit card bill continues to rise. Looking at our monthly spending, every bit of the increase on the bill is gas.........

Just be careful you don't hit the cow! That happened to @Frenchy a few months ago and it wasn't pretty for either of them.

I hear ya! Our beef went into the locker last thursday..........waiting on the bill but tastes waaaaay better than a restaurant steak. Figured our beef will be around $1800-$1900 with $300-$400 processing. Guessing 600lbs of steaks, roasts and burgers will get us thru alright!

yeah DukeCanBuildit!
I am just wanting to think out loud and get some feedback.
We had a pretty good snow here the other day and my engineering brain started turning gears. This tends to happen to me a lot and I come up with some crazy ideas. This is definitely one of them. What if I build a simple machine to compact snow into bricks. I have seen kids toys that you hand pack snow into to make a brick. If you took that idea but bigger. If it is possible to make bricks relatively quick and easy, then building snow designs would be simple. Stack up the bricks and build castles, walls, table and bench, or even a ramp to sled down.
Here is my current ideas for building it.
*Basic metal frame welded or bolted together to create the mold.
*Pneumatic cylinder to compact the snow. This could be run from a shop air compressor. A small portable one should work fine.
*Shovel the snow into a bin that guides the snow into the mold. The mold will be about twice the size of the finished brick.
*The cylinder compacts the snow.
Now here is where I still thinking about what to do. How to get the bricks out. I am afraid that the brick might get stuck. I was thinking that a second cylinder that pushes the bricks out might be best. It could also make it faster to make bricks.
Now for the shape. I think that standard brick sizes would be a good start. Perhaps something like the size of a cinder-block. It is big enough to make structures quickly, but still a reasonable size and weight. I was thinking that a solid rectangle shape would be easiest, but I was thinking that the hollow sections in cinder-blocks might be possible and useful. The would use less snow and be lighter, but still be pretty strong. I know they use these holes to fill with cement / concrete. Might be possible to do something similar with snow / slush / water or something like that.
Or maybe something like lego bricks. It the shape could interlock it might be stronger.
Well these are the thoughts that are running around in my heads. I would love to hear some other peoples thoughts about this project. Do you think it would be cool? or a waste of time? I am just imagining my house with castle walls around my yard, and two 8ft towers on either side of my driveway. Bring on the snowball fights then.
Cant wait for your thoughts,
