Went out to Costco, picked up a new Kirkland battery.

Also put on a set of new StrongARM lift gate supports. The right side one failed out a week ago unfortunately.

Also, I blacked out my grille. Letting the clear coat cure in the garage overnight. Really cheap custom ($25 for the paint and a few bucks for a rubbing alcohol, etc to clean it) that I have put off for too long.

Q: Why do Ford's come with rear window defoggers as standard equipment?

A: To keep your hands warm while you push them.

I had a Ford once. F-150 supercab4x4, some one gave it to me, they bought it new didn't change oil for six years.Put new motor in it drove it six more years, no change oil. When I get it there is 1 quart in it, had to get some pliers to pull out the dip stick, it was like glued in there. Unbelivable engine noise, filled it up with a gallon of Lucas oil treatment. Ran like a champ worked the poop out of it for two years. It's final service was to get me 5000.00 down on my SS.

That poor old abused Ford served me fine, would take another one if you gave it to me.

OT..Drove one to Everrett and back, sat in the other one wishing it would quit raining..
