It is a nice looking Tremor though.

It sure is purdy Tracy. A lot nicer than that Taco in the background. Here, let me fix that…

There we go.

Actually this was yesterday but my son and his girlfriend bought a house so I helped them move.
Not real far, only a few miles from their old apartment. He rented a small U-Haul box van also and my daughter and her husband came with his F-150.
Mid-50's era brick ranch house, good bones but needs some cosmetic work and minor repairs and upkeep.
I got a knee replacement in November and I'm about 75% so I didn't carry anything heavy but going up and down steps was good therapy.
The weather here sucks half the year but home prices are reasonable, both of my kids are in their early 30's and each own their own home.

Drove the Ranger to have a quick visit with the FIL. He just sold his place so he can move into a retirement residence. Meal plan, weekly cleaning and linen service, cafe, BBQ area, Happy Hour lounge - the works. I took him a few moving boxes and some bubble wrap but I was mainly there to check on his spirits - 40 years in the same house - can’t be an easy transition to make.

The truck isn’t used much these days so it was a good chance to charge the battery and check on the BMS. All worked just as it should - ASS wasn’t engaging when I first started out of the city but by the time I got to his place, it was shutting down when I expected it to.

Driving in S mode is the norm for me but I stayed in D for this entire trip. I sure noticed the difference in shifting, especially in that 30-40 mph range when you’re in moderate traffic and easing on and off the gas to maintain distance, instead of braking too often. No hesitation, hunting, or surging, but the pattern sure is different when you accelerate slowly.

About 41,000 miles - still a great truck!

time sure is unkind to us all... except marissia tomei she is aging like fine wine.
hope your father in law is doing well in the transition. seems so odd im sure. work all your life to get a good home and things that make it comfortable. then when too old to work you get rid of all the stuff you worked for. I wouldnt mind those services and perks you mentioned though my lines are ready for washing lol.

Maybe, if you’re nice, Ms. Tomei will come over and put your linens through the spin cycle.

Well, you have to look at what she started with.

Went to the beach yesterday. The sand was firm from the rain, so we did some exploring.

I drove up to my Seattle office for some meetings and free food. LOL Stayed the night and came back early in the morning to avoid Seattle and Portland traffic. 372 miles round trip. I sure love my Ranger. Very comfortable on long cruises. Happy Friday everyone.

Looks like we’re going to have to start using STA-BIL in more than just our lawnmowers now. ?

Oh, and we all know that Duke’s 404 is a hundred and one times better, right.

Drove back to TN today to see the family. Stopped by one of my old hangout spots I hadn’t been to in over 20yrs. If it had been summer I might have got in lol.

Drove it to the Mecum auction to meet @AzScorpion. Traded him some boxes for auction passes. Good to meet him and Miss Annie in person and share a good time.
