Today I received a box from the fine folks at Levittown Ford Parts.
It contained a couple of hats and a Ford Performance stainless steel license plate frame.

I like the blue hat! And I have the same frame on the front.

The only thing I miss about living back in MA is the small town (pop 8,000) I lived in. That and the seafood!! ? ? There were a lot of great people there and a much slower simple way of life. Here, most are in a rush and and they're very rude!

If you need some help we'll all be glad to help you spend the other half. ?
First time I had a Lobsta Roll was in Rock Harbour, MA on the Cape - top split bun, of course. Thought I was in heaven. ?

Good stuff!
Bob, I tested the 302 graphene on my wife's white '21 Escape. I will say if you put it on too heavy, it is a PITA to remove. It looks pretty good, and I did the windows too. We're leaving for FL on Monday with her car (she doesn't like riding in the Ranger) so we shall see how it holds up. Next time I will do the Ranger, however it has a 2' scratch on the hood, just in the clearcoat. I tried a couple things to remove it but no luck so far. Any recommendations appreciated. When that is cleared up, I'll try the 303 graphene on hot pepper red!

If the scratch isn't too deep and just in the clearcoat, I like Chemical Guys VSS with a machine polisher. They have more aggressive compounds but I like the least aggressive first.

With the Graphene just put a couple sprays onto the applicator and apply it lightly. When you feel it starting to drag apply a few more sprays and make sure you shake the bottle as you use it and also cross hatch while applying it. I'll usually do 2 panels then go back and buff out and move on to the next 2. Once you get use to it it's super easy to do and I can do the whole truck in under an hour. For the best protection you can layer up to 3 coats.

Oh boy...that takes me back to the local Chevy garage where I worked during high school (over 50 yrs ago)...I was the king of the buffers on trade-ins! And I have one, seldom use it, so I'll have to dig it out...never used Chemical Guys, I'll check it out, Thanks

Got my BigBlue Cellpowa500 power station. I've been looking at these for a while and really wanted the Bluetti EB70S but just couldn't justify the price for my intended use. We're going on a 4 week road trip in June and this will power my new fridge/freezer that should be here any day.

I need to update this post because since getting this power station I’ve been through 3 of them. o_O The first one had a bad display and was stuck on 90% and the other two both died when the display was still showing 15% left. It’s to bad as it had great reviews but they obviously still have a lot of work to do on it.

Luckily the one I originally wanted (the Bluetti EB 55) had a $100 off instant coupon last week on Amazon so I picked that one up. I’ve been running it for over a week now with my new 12v fridge freezer and both have been great. The fridge/freezer is a Setpower RV45S which is the sister company of Iceco. Sid @Msfitoy I think you said you have the Iceco version of this one and you're right it's large! While it’s much bigger than what I need they gave me a smoking deal on it that I couldn't refuse. I spoke to them back in November when they were running a Black Friday sale and the agent (Lu) told me to contact him when I was ready to buy and he’d honored that price in which he did at $275.00. These will come I handy on our month long trip we’re talking in June.

I still have the 'Ford' Promotional Cooler I paid for out of pocket, as I bought my truck well before the promotion. Sadly, this is the condition it arrived in - shipping carton missing.

Summer 2020 sales promotion as I recall. Free if you bought Ranger within a certain time frame or $262 (?) shipped. Cooler arrived with everything except the shipping carton - a few scuffs otherwise. Otterbox in Colorado offered to replace it and I said 'no' as it would get scuffed in short order anyway. Web Image.
