    Quadrasteer Worked So Great for Chevy, Right? Now Maybe It’s the F250’s Turn

    Ha, that Astro van was local and that picture was taken in the Kroger parking lot (Georgetown, Kentuck) a few years ago. I used to see it all the time, but I don’t recall seeing it at all recently. Regarding quadrasteer, I thought people that owned them really liked them and I remember the...

    Our Family Travels and Activities

    My buddy is an avid fisherman, so one morning I got up extra early to head out with him. I'm glad I did, as I caught my largest fish ever, by quite a large margin. None of us wanted to go home! End trip.

    Our Family Travels and Activities

    Our next trip was to Scottsboro, Alabama, the town I grew up in. One of my closest friends, since 1987, lives over in Huntsville, while his Mom still lives in Scottsboro. We all met up at Goosepond, where we rented a few cabins. I had only been back a few times since I left, in 1996, so it...

    Our Family Travels and Activities

    The next day, we all went hiking up to the Cumberland Gap and then on to the overlook, where you can stand in all three states. In typical fashion, the hike was sold to us as "let's go play in a stream", so we all hiked to the top in flip flops, sandals and bathing suits. Partway up the hill...

    Our Family Travels and Activities

    On the first morning, we all went canoeing (except the 2 month old and his Mom). This was quite an adventure with the large number of young kids and the heat of the day creeping up on us as we passed the noon hour. I believe we were on the water for around 3 hours. On the way back...

    Our Family Travels and Activities

    Our next 2019 trip was tent camping at the Cumberland Gap, over Memorial Day weekend. We had six college friend families/couples, which had grown into a heartwarming swarm of 29 people, including a 2 month old baby. It was hot, but somehow manageable. We were lucky that the storms missed us...

    As I mentioned, it got cold after that, but here are a few more pictures from the trip and a video I made. End of trip.

    Our Family Travels and Activities

    A panoramic shot of the ranch. Most of the good weather was the first night. After that, it turned into high-30s with mist and some snow for the remainder of the week. Not what I'd call "fencing weather." My father and I drove out north for a short hike along the ridge(s).

    Our Family Travels and Activities

    The first trip of the year, in April 2019, was a solo trip for me to spend one week at the family ranch, while my parents were performing three weeks of maintenance. This is a trip from Kentucky to Nebraska, stopping in Lincoln to stay with my cousin's family. I was driving my 2018 F150 w/...

    Buying my First FJ80 LandCruiser.

    Good choice. I’ve been in your shoes and it was obviously a thinking with the heart instead of the brain type of situation. ?

    Two-Wheel Drive Ford Ranger's New $595 Off-Road Pkg Is Touted as a “Hell of a Deal”

    I wouldn’t buy a 2wd truck. With that said, I did some ranching this spring on my parents land and was amazed at what my F150 (with the obvious help of computers) did in 2wd and the rear axle locked. For example, it crawled up a 13* grade covered in wet grass and the computers would pulse the...

    My Journey

    My Grandfather is a hoarder who puts this guy to shame. In a small Nebraska town, he has houses filled to the ceiling with stuff, barns full of stuff and fields full of stuff. No matter how many times I ask, he won’t part with any of the cars. It’s amazing what kind of items from the past get...

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    Your neighbor must have a very heavy foot or do a majority of his trips in the city. Not sure about the picture you quoted, but my truck’s meter reads about 1 to 1.1mpg higher than Fuelly has given me and I’ve seen 24mpg on the dash from St. Louis to Lincoln, NE. Regarding the 5.0 being...

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    I have a 2018 XLT 3.5TT with max tow and sport package. After a year and 25k miles, I am still in love with it. I get 17-19mpg city and 20-23mpg hwy. Mine has the rear electronic locker, trailer back up assist and 36 gallon tank. I would stay away from the newest 5.0 and the pre-2017...
