A nice thread it is indeed!

And, following the disappointment of seeing Army get handed its hat by Navy, I shall take the liberty of posting another "drift" which pleases me -- a photograph of my step-daughter in her current role in our regional theater as the villain in the play, Murder at Mama Mia's.


(Yes, guys, she is that good looking.)

Hehe - ''shmokin'' - yep :)

Great pic Richard of a lovely lady .. well you remember my step daughter no doubt, from cover of Concealed Carry Mag' - well as we are are enjoying pretty ladies, let me post this one!  It was during the photo shoot for that cover pic but this was a ''moment'' caught which I found rather fun :)

Richard
 I can see that beauty runs in the family.

Chris
As I said before she is a natural model.  Seems to be having fun.

Seeing that truck again reminds me.  Time to trade in my pick up.   Anyone know what kind a milage you can expect from the newer Ford F250 6.0L Diesel?

Dave, a friend of mine has a 6.0L F250 crew cab and loves it. It has more power and is quieter than the older model.
Richard and Chris, you guys are blessed.

Thanks Tom - my wife said she would get me a new Ford F250 crew cab with a 6.0L diesel for Christmas if I wanted - no kidding.

Dave,

You need a new truck!

My 1994 Ford F150 is starting to rust.  I need one, too.

Do you have to heat the Diesel engine when the temperature is low, say -20 F?  That may be one of those real dumb questions where everybody else knows the answer.

Holy Cow!

I looked at a picture of that truck and it is so long, how could you park it on the street?

It looks like you would have to find a Mall parking lot and act like a big highway rig.

Could someone please answer that question about what gas mileage to expect from that diesel engine?

The test report I read said: n/a

Thanks,

Bill

If you're like me, right about now (to paraphrase Garth Brooks' country song) you're thanking God for unanswered prayers.    ;)

Yes, I'm just like you;^) It was the most incredible time, ever!

My R9 owning friend in Pittsburgh lent me his Kel Tec 9mm to carry with me (he wouldn't let my borrow his R9s, even though I sold it to him! What a slug!). It's no where near the gun the R9 is, but hey, it was something to carry. I'm taking MY R9 next time!

One thing that freaked me out from the reunion was several people saying at the end, as we were leaving, "hope to be here next time" and "if there is a next time". Sheesh! My friends are dying around me left and right, and I still don't have a red @#&%$## convertible! I think my wife wants me to die, so SHE can buy the covertible with my insurance money. I'm gonna watch what I eat from now on...  Oh, and BTW, here's an example of one of her delicious dishes...
