Very pretty!

 

Morning everyone.

It was hot as hell Saturday and yesterday on the firing line, I lost 7 pounds of water weight between Friday and yesterday. The kids shot over 1500 rounds of 20ga shells and over 2000 rounds of .22LR in a day and a half of shooting. Talk about a fun and rewarding day taking kids that have never shot clays before and were breaking them on a regulay basis by the end of the day I don't know who had more fun the kids or us. I am going back next year and doing my rifle instructors course.

 

my raptor is being built today

 

Nice picture, that had to have been a fun ride.

Hey gang, drove into work this morning in the rain and it hasen't stopped yet. Over 6 inches of rain and still coming down. Only vehicles not flooding out were pickup's and the 18 wheeler's. Hope it stop's at 3:30 when I head home. Look's like our drought is over!

 

Nice pic 88!

Glad you guys are getting some rain, but sounds like a bit too much PawPaw


Got to Rodman Ford for my 7:30 appointment for the recall. It was done in about a 40 minutes. I asked to test drive a 5.0 and they said yes. I got sick of waiting though so I just left without saying anything

Got my new mirrors sanded smooth. Going to prime them again and fine sand them so a glass smooth finish. My painting skills are way better than they used to be. Also put my third brake light on. Perfect match! I reused teh factory gasket and sleaed the lens up with auto/marine sealer by Dap. It's high heat and water safe.

 

When you gonna replace those pitiful looking wheels?

 

My boss sent me an email:

San Diego Woman Shot in Head
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.Linda is blonde, a Democrat and an Obama supporter, but that could all be a coincidence.

The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and it was determined to be Bush's fault.

And Jim, right after you do

 

Am I crazy for choosing the 5.0? Would you choose the Eco Boost instead?

 

I would take the 5.0. Jim I have heavy wheels and tires a 4spd tranny 2wd and 3.55 rear end. I'm averaging 16.5-17 mpg's mixed. Unless you got a 2.55 or 3.15 rear end, it's not worth it on the eco bosst. The ones who don't are getting 16-17 maybe 18 from what I read who get 3.73's. What is the ration of the 5.0... I like the 3.55's myself for highway economy

 

Both I'm looking at have the 3.55 LS. The 5.0 has the bucket seats withe the full console. The EcoBoost is the same truck except has the fold down console that has the headreast and shouldr harness built in. I prefer the full console.

 

Congrats on the new truck Jim.

 

Don't have it yet. Just made a deal over the phone Sat and had no time to go in. Told them we had a deal but it would be next Sat afternoon before I could get in to check it out and drive it. After choosing the 5.0, I just wonder if I am making the correct choice.
