My business didn't recover power after the storm until 3PM today. I had to go in at 6AM both mornings but was out of there by 10AM both days. Have Tuesday off as well...... I could get used to this.

I'm taking the rest of my life off, so this weekend is no big deal.

I'll be holding the chaise lounge down on the porch, and drinking to excess.

Bring OWN the fuggen heat!

If you are considering one, pass on it or better go on a decent test ride
I rented trucks for a year to test and make a decision. The Fords couldn't do a burnout, and I am still concerned about Chevy engine problems. Ford & Chevy didn't move right with leaf springs. The Ram got my heart with the interiors and suspension. Having rear coilovers makes a BiG difference.

One thing I liked about the F-150's transmission was that it had 2-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive modes.

Is this like a bar thread only with less "good nights" and "good mornings"?

I've got the whole week off. Going up into the upper 90's and two days are supposed to hit 100. You'll find me in the pool with a good book. Lots of grilling out too. Life is hard.

The rear coil suspension provides a very comfortable ride. It does limit the hauling and towing capacities and really makes the truck more SUV like than the other trucks.

Wife and I are in France on a 10-day country tour. We've been in Paris for 2 days (pre-tour) and we went up the Eiffel Tower and toured the Louvre Museum. Gratuitous Mona Lisa pic:
