I loaded my daughters 86 Civic Si on the trailer and returned it to her house, then son-in-law and I went Lowe's and got some drywall (loaded it onto the car trailer) and supplies to work on a wall in their garage. Then after working on that most of the day, loaded my 84 Civic 2000S trailer to bring back home.

I have some drywall repairs needed in my garage.

I don't have any Hondas that need towing though.

love seeing trucks do truck stuff!
After the logs are all prepped at my place the old Ranger will be hauling them up to our property on Bull Run Mountain. The drive in is pretty sketchy in spots, so probably 8 logs per trip. My tuck definitely does a lot of “truck stuff”, no carpet in the bed here. Haha!

Nah, just the OEM rubber bed mat. I've had the bed loaded with firewood, field stone, you name it, right up to the top of the bed rails countless times and the bed still looks fine. Pretty scratched up but no major dents or anything.

Ranger is officially sold to my son. He needed a vehicle and (my wife) twisted my arm. 72k miles and running strong. Am going in a different direction and have a Honda ridgeline, but will miss it dearly. Getting a ranger right now was/is more difficult than I thought. My local Ford dealers were not helpful.

The Ridgeline is a nice vehicle.

A friend of ours bought one to replace her outback because she needed something with a little more umph to tow their bean travel trailer.

They are very happy with it, it was an upgrade in every way and much more comfortable than what one thinks of as a "normal truck".

I like the Ridgeline, but not enough towing for me. I was looking at a Ranger or a diesel GM product to get the towing I wanted, and as I recall GM was (or the dealers were) really proud of those diesels.
 

Friday yet?

Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
Nothing. Yet.

Sitting in airport waiting to head home. And since I departed out of a neighboring airport this time I have a 2 1/2 hour ride to look forward to after I get back to my blue baby. And looking forward to it I am. :inlove: Road trip in the Ranger is GREAT finish to the week.

One year old in another week or so. And I still cannot get enough of driving it.

I passed a year last month.

The gf says to me, so you going to stop babying it and worrying about dings and scratches now?

Umm, no.

Just got back from a drive, to Cheyenne Wyoming.

Took the kid up there since she's off school and had never been...

It was foggy, snowy and cold the entire time...

I am also disappointed that I didn't see John Dutton. That's asshole is never at the capital.

Why the walrus' in Wyoming?
Nice sculpture but, without context, weird in time and place.
