Drove through a little town in central Alabama today.

Sorry to hear this.

Yea, the kiddo was pretty torn up about it, but Roger was on a downhill slide for a while. He was a Vietnam vet that had been exposed to Agent Orange and suffered pretty badly later in life with a bunch of health problems. He was just done with it all and stopped eating and passed in his sleep.

Its one of those deals where she doesn't exactly miss her biological dad, although he's still around she can take him or leave him, but his parents (Her grandparents) are super nice folk and she got to spend a lot of time with them.

There are worse ways to go.

Those guys in 'Nam got exposed to so much crap.

Finally installed the updated steering wheel...

The new real leather is so much nicer to the feel... highly recommend it.

FYI: Description and vendor info

Drove it south until the low fuel light came on. Although we are loaded up for a week of camping, we opted for a night in a hotel to stay dry. Out for dinner now.

Went to the MVD last Thursday to renew my DL...and an amazing thing happened there! I barely got seated and my number was called...the clerk confirmed that my wait time was 17 seconds!

Was I in the Twilight Zone instead of an MVD office?

They spotted the truck parked straight so got you right in.

The person that parked my truck looked like an alien... ?

David @subquark is so used to backing up at the dump he figured this is how it's done at the dentist.

Judging by how far off it the asphalt it is, I'd say it's a little presumptuous to say he backed in and didn't just drive across the lawn. I mean it was an emergency after all, lol.

Off work on July 4 so it got a coat of wax.

Drove the XLT to work this am. Exciting stuff!

Got up early to head to Toronto (3-hr drive) - had to get there early, so was leaving at 3:45 am. Tried starting the Ranger and got these warnings….

No big deal. Thanks to this forum I knew what to do - grabbed my flashlight and popped the hood to remove the battery terminal for a few minutes.

Saw this…

Tiny footprints! Looked around and saw this…

Roh-Roh. Looked further and saw this…

Squirrels!

I had to MacGuyver it back together in the dark with whatever I could find in the storage shed at the cottage - first stop was the can of Deep Woods Off. There was no way I was doing that with bugs swarming me. Then I grabbed my electrician’s tool caddy and looked for whatever I could find. A 12v adaptor and a pendant lamp reluctantly donated organs so I could get on my way.

Looks like crap but works, for now. Will do a proper job later.
