Took the truck on its first road trip.. Was looking forward to seeing how the fuel mileage was going to be... Ended up stuck on I20 on Ranger hill for 4 1/2 hours (idling the whole time).. Finally got to fort worth at 3am.. Should only be a 4 hour trip max and took us 10 hours.. That tank ended up being 16.5

Left yesterday and battled a 25mph head wind the whole trip back.. That resulted in 16.7 mpg's. Maybe next time will be better

 

Home now. Pain minimal except for wound sites. Pretty sore the more I move. Off work for a week or more. Sucks.

 

Good morning.

Hope you feel better Will.

 

 

 

You know what caused that don't you? All that yard work. The doctors may not realize it, but that's what caused it.

 

Well I sure felt green like the yard.

 

A couple pictures of one of this weekends projects part of this is right up Will's alley. I need to rebuild the front porch of my house because one post is sinking and has been since I bought the house in 2004 and part of the project is landscaping parts of the yard. I started Saturday morning with a skid steer pulling out a sidewalk to nowhere going up the east side of my house and then moved onto the overgrown bushes in front of the house. It was really nice being able to yank the bushes out in one piece with the forks and load them on the trailer so I could take them to the city's compost site.

After







Needless to say I'm tired, sunburned, sore, and very glad to be back in my office today.

 

You go to work to relax too lol

 

Oh yeah.....lol

 

Sure is pretty outside and this is a workday. Why does it happen this way?


If weather permits, new roof going on the house Friday and Saturday.

 

Can I make it one more hour?

 

Quitting time

 

Thinking of selling my truck. Of course I'd be getting another Ford in return.

 

Good morning.
