Soupie doesn't always bring stuff to the dump, sometimes Soupie picks stuff up!

My first week-long vacation of the year and we're gonna tear down a Pinex ceiling and insulate and drywall. Luckily it's a small job, only 11 sheetrock panels.

I know da way - follow me y'all!

I've been redoing my kitchen floor, down to the subfloor, and down to the joist in a couple area. Having my Ranger has been a very big help with getting that done. Today and tomorrow the last layers of plywood go in, joist jacks go under, and I measure for the leveling pour before the new tile can be installed.

Michelle gets a deeper discount but that doesn't apply to parents (or parent-laws).

I went for an Air Force post many years ago, got the letters of recomendation (including from a Brigadier General and Cap Weinberger's undersecretary), and there was even a spot for me as a Missile Launch Captain in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Passed the psych eval, even saying I'd have no qualms about detroying a city of 70,000.

It was strange that the final part of the physical came after all that. But it did and I failed the vision test. =(

I had taken the MCAT and scored well enough to get into mid-range med schools and that was going to be part of my military career.

My biggest regret was not trying for a medical exemption. =(

What a different life that would have been.

Guess being here with all of you is an honor too. One that makes me smile but that I don't take for granted (alrhough the pressure to buy 303 stuff is sometimes tough).

God Bless all those who serve and let us get all riled up about what tire size to get. Freedom.
File a request with the Department of Veterans Affairs..whatever medical problems you have now say it’s service connected. If you have military medical records send them to me (MD, Medical records analyst) and I will take a look…I have done this for many Veterans over the years..I got a Marine payed back to 1956..mucho dinero ..

It's more of "what I got FOR my Ranger".....
I bought a genuine FORD part, in a Ford box, for a direct fit FOR my FORD Ranger, from a member who bought this genuine FORD part FOR his FORD Ranger. I will further post when this genuine FORD part arrives and I install it on my FORD.
Since this FORD part is an addition to, and not replacing a part, there will be no FORD parts that someone could possibly use on some other make !!! :crackup:

To be clear, is this a FFR part?

Big outing for the Ranger today. I moved it over five feet so my friends have room to park next to it when they show up this afternoon to visit us for the weekend.

0.0038 miles and averaged 25 mpg, so it was a pretty good trip.

Mine is sitting in the garage since Wed having been most of the way to the cabin then turning around to home, making it a 4 hour drive when my wife had another cardiac arrest. ☹ Been using her car since.

Oh man Steve. Sorry to hear that. Hoping for the best for you folks. Now let’s get 2024 in your rear view mirror.

She came too on the garage floor after her ICD administered a shock. I was out of cell range and checked messages when I got stuck in road construction. Android auto never popped up that I had missed messages or calls, or I wouldn't have gotten so far away. :mad:
