    It"s raining !!!

    Hope y'all get some rain soon. We need plenty in Northeast Texas too. The lake near me is 13 feet below normal. Need several "gully washers" to bring it up. From what I hear, the California politicians have different ideas about how to fix the water problem.

    The Dallas area has prices around $3.59 to $3.69. Gas jumped from $2.95 at some stations to $3.29 at most stations within a few days.

    Laid off

    Good luck!!!! I know the feeling. I was laid off in October 2010 after 23 1/2 years with the company and had no advance warning. Found out when my supervisor called me to meet her in the HR office. I found work 10 months later. It's not what I was making and I wish I had something better...

    Joke of the day

    I mentioned to my supervisor today that we were "busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs". He replied that we were busier than a termite on a yo-yo. I never had heard that one before.

    Air force oops

    I remember landing a couple of times in Billings when I worked with an oil company. Was in a Convair 580 and I remember the landing strip was on the edge of a cliff. A bit scary for me. This was in 1985.

    Traded again picked up a nice King Ranch

    That's 15.5 mpg. Not too bad for the first tank. Those mpg's on the computer can be deceiving. My wife has had our Honda's up to 40 mpg but our best fillup was 38 mpg on the interstate. I'll be glad when I can get an EcoBoost, but gonna have to drive the 08 for awhile longer.

    Sad Sad Day I traded the F250

    That ecoboost is nice. I hope to get one in the near future. I also miss my 250.

    Traded again picked up a nice King Ranch

    My youngest son got an EcoBoost a few months back. It was a 2012 with 2500 miles that a guy had traded in on a Dodge Diesel. He's got about 4000 miles since getting it and averaging 18 mpg. I'd love to get one (can't afford a 2013) if I could keep the same payments. My 08 150 is getting...

    well, shae ain't much to look at anymore...

    Remember that old Aaron Tippin song: "There ain't nothing wrong with with the radio"? That might describe JL's truck. :) One of the line is "the wipers don't work and the horn don't blow, but there ain't nothing wrong with the radio"...."got stopped by a cop with out of state tags and no...

    2005 F-350 Dually?

    I hear ya. My son has a 2012 EcoBoost and loves it. It pulls the trailer with tractor with no problems. My 4.6 has a 6400 lb towing capacity where his is over 9000. The EcoBoost will probably be the next truck.

    2005 F-350 Dually?

    Thanks Doug. I'd already thought about the extra width and tires. Plus the long wheelbase would be very long for me (I was okay with the 6.5' bed on my 250). The dealer also has a 2003 250 with 6.0 but that's a little too old for me, plus being the first year for the 6.0, even though it does...

    2005 F-350 Dually?

    I'm "getting the itch" to try to find a good used diesel pickup and trade my 2008 F-150. At my local Ford dealer, Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney, TX, I found a 2005 F-350 6.0 diesel dually with 90,000 miles on it. I'm gonna look at it this weekend. Their website has it listed for $21,980. My...
