Yesterday was a good day. I may even ride a bike again today.
they held a nice bbq at the show venue last night. I guess I didn't drink enough water, leg cramps off and on all night.
Bastid. Going to test drive trucks today. 
Then soccer.
Lots of soccer.

wait, what? you?
Ran 20.5 miles this morning at 8:23 pace. God damn have I been running a sh!t-ton of miles. I am feeling tired and beat to hell. Five weeks until I tear the cover off my marathon. Looking forward to getting out on the road bike tomorrow.

Woke up at 4. Wild Turkey at 5. Now I'm back.
Hmmm, the Heckler seems to want a new bottom bracket.
This. Ridgeline? Dually? Something in between? Why does she want a truck?
I had the joy of driving back from this morning's rehearsal in rain strong enough to cause mild hydroplaning in the truck tire grooves even at a flat 60 mph. Traffic was and remains stop and go over a solid 10 mile or so stretch of northbound I-5 extending from south of Seattle (where I live) to well north of the city itself. Ugh.
Ahhhhh, got up at ten, cleaned a couple guns, went fishing, wife is now off work, and we are heading to ger her a .22. Solid good day
We were thinking Super Duty... but F**K are those things retardedly huge. So common sense prevails and we're gonna go with an F150.My kind of woman
What are you looking at?
I rode Hall Ranch for the first time yesterday. Super fun, can't wait to go back.
Shuttled DH trails today.
I see lots and lots of food in my immediate future.

With a crew cab and one of those metro bed covers, I presume?
SuperCrew cab. No cover. Going to have a bed liner put in, though. Has electronic locking rear diff... so we can go ROCK-CRAWLING.
Gonna get one of these-type things toot-sweet, though:
Edit - it'll look a lot like this... only with the bigger (6-1/2') bed:

if your boys are anywhere near as tall as i think your hippie ass is they won't be comfortable in the backseat....
and beware....those twin turbo V6 engines don't last long.
Ford?
Nope. 200K miles and still going... strong(?).
Got new plates for it's milestone.
Have you seen those new SuperCrews? The back seats are ENORMOUS. We took a buddy's to Moab - 5 of us and there was tons of room in the back seat.
Oh - we got the 60/40 front bench, too... so we can get 6 in it.
EcoBoost. Heh. How about a plain old 5.0L V8? No twin turbo for moi. Hell - I lobbied for crank windows.
If the transmission goes tits up I'm gonna murder a whole bunch of you bastids.Ford?
that's good on the engine.EcoBoost. Heh. How about a plain old 5.0L V8?...... Hell - I lobbied for crank windows.
i'd expect nothing less from you on the windows.
The way I see it - you're getting "really good" mileage and more power in exchange for a $12K repair of some sort when it's at 120K miles. Which really blows the gas savings...
When the Odyssey's power sliding doors go tits up I'm gonna ask how much to turn them into manual doors.

120K is being way generous.....by about 80K.
Then it *really* blows any gas savings...
I don't think most of you are familiar with newer Fords. They rock.
Freaking reliable.

My 04' has 140k on it. (Knocking on wood) it is running like a top. Never had to do any non-wear item repair on it ever...and I drive it hard.
My brother beats the crap out of his 07. Its holding up pretty good. Noisy as phug. Dogs and kids have destroyed the interior. Brakes suck.
This... If you can get the eco boost do it, for one it is scary reliable comapred to the five liter, better milage, better power and take off. Eco boosts are rated to pull over 11k in weight
Dude. I wish I knew you were heading up that way. One day we'll have to go over Heil, up Hall, then back over Heil.I rode Hall Ranch for the first time yesterday. Super fun, can't wait to go back.

i know of someone who has had two engines replaced.
They are most likely moron drivers.
What model/year?
i'd point you to the thread...but it already sounds like you're a moron.

Well, at least entertain me with what models/years.
(Mine is not ecoboost)
Thanks.
Are you mad because I forgot to use a smiley?

very!
it was a 2012 or 2013.....and it was actually on its third.....see above post....seems ford finally found the problem.
has jackson been swept away by the slow moving landslide yet?
I hope you're getting a hell of a deal now that the aluminum new one is announced. I heard of someone getting $17k? Or the like off msrp on a new F-150.
Yeah - except all your fuel savings are gobbled up by the $15K premium they want for the diesel, not to mention the fuel being significantly more expensive.two Words

That and we'll be hauling a few kids around with bikes... not trailers full of $hit. A diesel would be a waste for us.
Heh. That was probably one of those $65,000 top-end ones. Who the f**k does $hit like that?
I contemplated going with the rubberized flooring instead of carpet. You know... because kids.
