Not sure how I got here..

I was just doing a random Google search and for some reason thought about this forum. After a password recovery, and some confusion, I got logged in and was surprised too. 😅 I don't have a clue why I have this username, and honestly thought I had more posts. Somewhere along the way, I must of had two different logins. Anyway, it is a definite throwback to see some old names like "stealth", I haven't seen if he is still even active. I joined in 2008, only 22 years old, and now I am 37... Blows my mind how much time has changed. I looked at the couple old threads I started and the immaturity just made me chuckle. I hope everyone that was around back then is doing well. I'm not sure when my last login was, had to of been at least nine-plus years ago. Crazy thing is, I still own that 2004 F150 5.4 v8 that brought me here in 2008. I purchased that truck with 55k miles on it and it now has 240k miles. I have gone through four sets of plugs, a couple C.O.P's, a couple batteries, two alternators, two rear axle seals, one set of brakes and shock changes along the way. It has been to Oregon and back to Louisiana six times, two of those round trips towing my Mustang. I can't say a single bad thing about that truck. It's not my primary vehicle and I am at the point of getting ready to let it go, but man, I am gonna cry when it does. That truck has served me so well over the years and has gotten me through a lot of life changes. Just thought I would give an update for myself to read in the future, if this forum continues. 3-18-2023

Welcome back. Always great to hear when a truck serves its owner well.

Thanks and I remember seeing you around when I was originally here. I did find out the username I was looking for was "2004Triton5.4", I can't figure out what email is attached to it or the password. Oh well, it is nice to see familiar faces still around. It is sad that forums are going away, social media like Facebook has pretty much killed them. These forums have so much useful information stored away in them too, that it would be a shame to lose that.

A thought came to mind and sure enough, that password was the correct one. I'm glad to have this account back.
