I forgot to tell the 5.0 that it can't tow. Wasn't anything major, Loaded down 6x12 Uhaul with the bed loaded. Got 14.2 over the 127 miles running 65. Lots of hills.

not bad....better than what the STA did 2 years ago with trailering 2 touring harleys, bed full of gear, and 4 people...

if I remember it was 9.5 mpgs at 75-80mph

Changed a rear brake caliper on the truck last night which went better than I thought even though I had to beat the old girl into submission a couple times with a hammer.

I'm just happy that the drivers side rear brakes is not grinding anymore. I think I'm going to change the rear passenger side caliper and rotor next because one of the pins was sticky.

I'd love to get that many mpg's. I was getting 11.2 before i got my gryphon. I haven't checked since. it says I get 15 but that's a joke i think.

Minding my own business yesterday, just walking around the corner of the house and 3 wasps bombed me. One sting on the jaw and 2 on my upper arm. Itching like crazy!

That might work ! These suckers were super aggressive. They were swarming in the gutter at the roof corner, not under the eve, so I never saw them. They just came from nowhere.
