Wasn’t looking but stumbled on a 1999 Ford Ranger V6 4x4 with just a tad over 100k miles . Truck is in exceptional condition no rust just surface rust on the frame which I’m going to hit with a rust converter . Drives like a new truck and I could just about double my money if I were to sell it . IMG_6670.jpegIMG_6671.jpegIMG_6672.jpegIMG_6673.jpegIMG_6674.jpeg

If it was dark red, it would be a twin to my pops 96. Good little truck for him. My father in law has it now. Kinda wished I kept it for a beater truck, but car seats wouldn't work with the jump seats.
 
Ironic that SS 396 posted a picture of a Ford Ranger today, I've owned 2 of them in the past.

However, I took this pic to share with him today. This guy is in his early 80s and regularly visits a friend of mine who lives down the street with this truck, so I just had to get a picture to show you guys!

He also has a Buick Grand National that runs in the 11s!

i have yanked Dungeness out of crab boat while up in Homer... very tasty, so fresh... still in seawater.... $5/ea
Way back when, I bought a lot of King Crab right off the boat in Homer for a dollar a pound! (first I ever bought was 50 cents a pound)

I'm not a Dungeness crab fan, but I have caught a lot of them with hook and line, not far from the harbor, in the bay in Homer, they were always pretty easy to get that way.

i like Dungeness crab! meaty claws, and i will split the rest to get the meat between those sections, too. pilers help!

Looks like your porch roof doubles as a hovercraft.
thots like that make me think, maybe a 2 blade mower! lol. but, clean set up... i am sure at that blade speed, columns of air down flowing... but i also like them to run slow... adds some nice ambiance on a hot day... walking to porch, across and into house. i got 2 on porch. down here fans or many shapes nice... i acquired this nice like new Emmerson Sea Breeze vintage unit recently. i really like it...
