We got this OneDrive memories blast from the past, 21 years ago today, Peppers grandpa and I at a steel plant in Sparrows Point, MD. The '93 supercab gettin down & dirty! My 2nd Ranger...3.0 5 spd, loved that truck! Sold it and bought Peppers dad, '04 white supercab 4.0 5 spd.

Sparrows point - my uncle had a sub shop down that way 20, maybe 30 years ago. Tommy's charcoal express.

Pit beef, turkey, ham sandwiches.

It was in an old dunkin donuts or something.

An exciting mini dump run! Since our thrash pickup day was a snow day, we don't get pickup for another week. The two of us fill up our 65-gallon thrash can and our 65-gallon recycling can weekly, so thank goodness for a Ranger!

But, as exciting and complete a story as that is (you can now log off with total fulfillment from your screen time), I swung by the grocery store to get some cases of water (by the way, I used an entire can of de-icer to get my tailgate to open and to roll up the tonneau cover).

When I came out, the keyless entry wasn't working. So I manually unlocked the door. But the unlock button wasn't working, so the tailgate was still locked.

Then I put the key in the ignition but it wouldn't start. No Ford logo, no lights, no nothin'! =(

I've read about that with others but can't remember why it does that.

A few tries later and it did come to life and start.

This would really suck during a zombie apocalypse—so refresh me as to what this is about? =(

I was driving down the road and passed a ranger lariot tremor today. First time I've seen another one down here, even on the lots... They must be pumping them out in Michigan... Or the snow birds are bringing them all with them... Bastages.

I so look forward to the continuing saga of "Soupie Dump Runs...The Continuing Stories".
Makes for exciting reading, and I am thinking of taking the puter into the pottie room so I can read without interruption.
Keep posting about future adventures. :clap:

Glad Soupie came back to life.
This dump run was a required extra trip due to snow. Still need to get the garbage cans and recycle taken care of.
Having a truck is so helpful.
