Pics of your tow vehicle?

Wow! That lesbian can sure drive that Subaru!

Were it my old Subaru, every twist, turn and drift would be marked by a nice line of oil from a leaking head gasket or a scored tarmac from the rod thrown through the bottom of the engine. I think the Subaru engineers spent MUCH more time on that car than mine!

Andrew, love the black and red Sport! So do you own both the Sport and a Ski Nautique? And what are the details on the truck, hard for me to see what it is?

A big test for the lesbianmobile was today and I'm very pleased. 2300 lbs. of bricks plus about 400 lbs. for the trailer put the gross over the 2400 max weight rating but it did fantastic in the 150 miles of moderate hills. Yes, you know there's a load back there but I found braking and acceleration to be very reasonable. With all my boats and trailers coming in under todays load, I sure won't have a problem.



The bricks are going into my house renovation/addition for the air tight wood burner hearth and back wall. I went shopping for plain old clay common brick only to find they don't make them anymore. All the brick these days are concrete with the core holes. The core holes would have been exposed at the ends of two solder courses so they were out. These are "Chicago pink" reclaims and will create the rustic look I wanted anyway.

Nice work Butch

John,
Wisconsin Public Service is scheduled to come in tomorrow or Thursday to disconnect the gas line and pull it back from the house for the addition/renovation I'm doing. Lot's coming up the drive - A gas line to the shop, another to the house, cable, the phone drop to the house and electric to the shop. The overhead electric drop to the house was pulled last fall and then new was buried from the shop to the house. Frontier is supposed to be here with WPS for the phone drop. We'll see if that happens!! The phone drop needs to be re routed to a new NIB on the shop.

Sometimes we'd have to wait down the street for hours for the customer to leave Just so John doesn't have to ask,what the heck is that white stuff ???

Gary,
Trust me, I will be here when Frontier shows up to reroute the underground drop from the house to the new NID on the shop. I don't need a "cable guy" install! My local Frontier "tech" did come by when WPS was just finishing the gas and mentioned he would run a drop on the ground. Then, I informed him the drop was directional bored under my neighbors driveway because there wasn't an available pair in the closest ped! I got the impression he doesn't like to dig! BTW, I do know where those "cable guys" got their wiring techniques!

Here in Australia.

What the heck is that, looks kind of like a Tahoe with a short box??

Sport trac

It's neither. They have stuff down there not available to us here.

Volkswagen Amarok

Falcon XB. You don't see these at a portillo's often, but they run around my neighborhood from time to time..

I believe the Ford Ranger is still available overseas, especially Australia.

Ford Australia now also have a wagon "Everest" based on the Ranger. Shame they make them in Thailand though instead of Australia. The design and R & D is still all done in Aus. at least...
