No, it's breaktime now. Waiting on the engine to cool down so I can wash it.

I have never washed my engine. Just don't want to take a chance with the COPs. I wipe it off every time I wash and the top is very clean, but there is dirt on the lower level.

The only time I've ever had a problem washing an engine was on my Grandma's Dodge Omni. I got to the Big Boy's down the highway to get something to eat and the damn thing wouldn't start when I came back out.

Lots of Simple Green, a rag and I set my hose nozzle to "gentle". Then I go for a drive to burn off any water sitting in places it shouldn't.

I used to wash all my engines. Just cover the distributer and use the pressure wash.

It's time to go run some errands.

I wish I didn't see those adds showing 15,000 off on a new F150.

Have fun. I'm waiting for my FoMoCredit account to be cleared before I go shopping.

Loaded 3/4 of the bed with goods. Most notably 2 20 packs of Bud Light longnecks. Can't drink a heavy Bock on the beach. Also put 5 12 packs of soda in there. Will be loading lots of bottled water in there too.

I don't think the bags dropped any so far. I may let some air out in the morning after it's fully loaded. The rear is sitting kind of high, 2+" clearance between the bumpstops and the axle.

Sounds like a load. You take two trucks don't you? You do know that they have WalMarts down there that sell beer, water and soft drinks?

On the island there is only an IGA, and it's way overpriced.

We've gone there so long we've learned to bring all the groceries and necessities with us. Cheaper and quicker. Each of us families cook 2 dinners. We fend for ourselves for breakfast and lunch, but Mom usually has lots of food.
