  4. It wasn't me, though I have PIF'ed a few New LCs and their Goodwill counterparts. For a while, it seemed like every time I got rid of one, another one would show up. I still have at least 3. :)
  5. Thank you, Patrick!

    Just the Basics...

    The Ides of June, MMXIX A.D.

    Day 15 - Basically a Day 6 GSB DFS...

    [​IMG]

    Late afternoon plans rained away, lots of free time today. Three cigars later, I decided to shave! Blade is still going strong in Day 6 and I plan to run it out. Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads who gather here, you're somebody's hero! Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

    Have a great evening and a pleasant Sunday!

    :)

  10. Thank you, Clint! I've been driving the same truck since January 02. I decided it was time. I went with a smaller truck this time around mostly for ease of maneuverability. Hopefully it's as good a truck as my last one.

  11. You had a very good run on your old truck. It is always nice to get a new car or truck.

  12. I did have a good run. It's not over yet, I still have the truck. Not worth much in trade. I'll give it to my son in law if he wants it, if not I'll sell it.

  16. Awesome guys.
  17. Nice truck . I'm still driving an 05 GMC with way too many miles on it . Blew a brake line last night and almost wrecked someone in a new SUV. Close call but I repaired it today and alls good again.
  18. Thank you, Keith!
    Thanks and thankfully you and the owners of the SUV escaped unscathed.
