Lady brought a dish she made, potato chuncks, chicken chunks, bacon, cheese, onion and buffalo wild wing sauce. I'm on fire! But so good! If I had a flu bug, it's dead now.

Where I park the truck at the little house near Athens, a herd of about 11 horses can get to it. It's in the middle of a horse ranch next to their watering pond. During the night, some of them lick the truck. The hood, mirrors, side panels, all over. Anyone know why they do this? I have been told they are trying to get salt. So far, they haven't hurt anything, just makes a real big mess.

horse power envy....

buy a salt lick block put over opposite side of the pond away from where you park....they'll probably start to leave yer truck alone then....imo

there was another member on here....I think it was Timmy....a few years back who parked his truck at his girl friends house which had a similar setup of what you have....well the horses took off anything that was loose or what they could grab and chew on...lol

Yes, a guy here at work told me they were after salt. I told the girl that owns them, she has mineral blocks but is going to get some salt. Hope that helps. Thanks for the info.

I went out last night about 10:30 to get something out of the truck. unlocked the door, got it, was relocking the door, heard something in the dark behind me. I turned around and there were 5 of them about 10 yards away, spread out, just staring at me, waiting for me to leave. A couple of the minis and the donkey come after Maggie if she is with me.

With the bad weather outside and looking for something to do I went and got son in law's truck at his work and brought it to the dealer for it's first oil change and tire rotation. He waited untill 9700 miles to get it done...typical engineer! Now I'm putting up a set of Roman shades for MawMaw on the French door's...all I need is another set of hand's!

He hasn't had a bit of trouble with the Ecoboost engine or anything else so maybe just driving them is the trick. I did notice some shake coming from the rear when I was driving it...I think it's a trait of these truck's.
