On Saturday my brother, his wife and I took their fold up kayaks in my truck, he took regular ones in his truck to mountains and paddled New River. I'm in the red life vest, first time on water after my shoulder surgery. Good day!

Drove to a ferry and took a trip to Estonia.

Car stayed at the ferry while walked around the city for few hours doing shopping, coffee and a nice straight 60m (258 steps) climp on top of a church tower.

Bought some cheap wine, beer and booze and brought it back home. Got some new clothes in the process.

Did few panoramics, but the forum says they're too big.

Is that Tallinn!? That looks like the spire the Soviets used to block "free transmissions." My wife and I did a Baltic cruise, and Tallinn was our most favorite stop. I wish we could have spent more time there. Our stop in Latvia was our least favorite. The people were nowhere as nice as the people we encountered in our other Baltic stops. And I have to mention; we really enjoyed the stop in Finland as well!

That is Tallin, or actually "St. Olav’s Church and viewing platform" located at Lai tänav 50, Tallin.

Not today, but Saturday took it for a trail ride. I'm still bad at getting video/photos in action, but did send the drone up for a bit.



And the aftermath while airing up for the trip home.

Yesterday, 3.5 hours power washing the mud off the outside, under-body, under-hood, and cleaning the driveway after. Today it's getting a hand wash, and 303 treatment if I have time.

We went to Prescott this weekend to check out the 11th annual Hope Fest, it’s an outreach for veterans and first responders. Here are some pictures from the car show. ?

Dang...we missed that. A couple of ladies from my work were there for that and said it was a really good time. As was the evening concert.
Maybe next year...

I thought I was fairly good, but that is next level detailing!!! Like those floor mats, who makes them?

In the USA there is a company called Tuxmat: https://www.tuxmat.com/products/8532-ford-ranger-supercrew-custom-mat

The mats in the Everest look like a Philippines version of the Tux.

I work as a contract hand faller in BC, Canada. The Ranger has been busy hauling myself, saws and gear around for the last month or so. Usually the smallest truck out there but that just means I can get further into the bush before I have to start walking!

I got a surprise invitation to go on a trail run on Friday, so I went home today to load up my off-road kit from my barn (No point moving it all to the rental, home is only 10 minutes away). About a mile down the road, I noticed my Sync screen was completely black, which I have never seen it do before. I pulled over, shut the truck down, and opened the doors to get a full reset. Started the truck and still nothing. SONOFA!!!

I'm not real clear on the warranty limits of what items on my truck, but some things are 60,000km, which I'm at 59,800 today. This s potentially a good thing, but I know the delaer is booking about 2 weeks ahead for service, and I have a 600km trip planned the day after tomorrow, which will put me over 60K. I was contemplating the difficulties this could present. I decided I'd disconnect the battery for 15 minutes after I got back to the rental and hope to reset everything, and I'd be going to the dealer tomorrow to get them to at least take a look at it, and hopefully squeeze it in under warranty (if it was even covered).

I got home, and backed in the driveway, and the screen came on for reverse cam... GREAT! Then I put it in park, and back to black, CRAP!

I shut it down and loaded up the truck. It was powered off for about 10 minutes. I got back in to leave, and the FORD logo came up on the screen, then after what seemed like forever, everything else loaded up perfect!!!! Woo Hoo!

Gremlins like that drive me crazy. Mine has frozen but never gone blank.

Road trip today to another Antique Tractor Show. This one in Portland Indiana is the biggest I have seen.

Took the "scenic" rout. Corn and soy beans, soy beans and corn, as far as you can see.

Also traactors nearly as far as you can see. This was just one of several areas.

The old Fords are my favorites.

One year of work. Getting close. Tires are next. Big ticket items.

Dry Waterfall huh, Jay? Looks like you installed that snorkel just in time!



Teasing of course, and your truck looks great with the new fender flares and snorkel - well done. ?

One of the trucks on that run was in a 2000 ish F150 and took water in the air box in a mud hole. His filter was soaked right through, but fortunately didn't hydro-lock the motor. He pulled the filter out, and kept going for the rest of the day, lol.

I'm all loaded up for another run tomorrow morning, on a trail I've never done before. It reportedly has a few water crossings. I'm bringing my drone and will get it up for as many obstacles as I can. It's a small group, only 4 trucks, so it should be doable to get decent video.
