Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
Thank you for posting.

I'm sorely tempted to check one of these out, once it cools off.


Too bad we don't have a "Dog of the Month"; Lincoln gets my vote. (y)

Uh oh…

Heat was too much for a baby.

When I was driving out, I saw this giant Amana refrigerator

IMG_2327.jpeg


And this was the coolest thing I saw. I saw it coming in and I saw it going out but I don’t know where it was parked. This thing was bad ass.

IMG_2325.jpeg


It was about 20 feet long

I also got a couple recruits for The Ranger Station. Don’t worry, I told him I wasn’t the typical guy.

It has to be hot in order to cotton pick?

Great pictures! And your baby may need medical attention!

Yeah, i’m not sure if it was just the heat. Baby soaked in bleach in the bottom of the washer for five or six hours, and then I washed her with my underwear (tightie Whities)….

I’ve seen those Tesla cyber trucks before, but at a distance. I was never this close to one before. Caused me to check something.

Cybertruck

I think my continental will hold more, and it goes farther on the tank, even at 7 miles a gallon

Yes, I was complimenting your dog.

There's a bunch of cool dogs on here that are owned by forum members (or, rather, forum members that are owned by cool dogs).


And that's coming from a cat person . . .

I've seen a few up close now as they drive around in the more affluent parts of the area. I'm not impressed.

Cotton harvest begins in July or August, so I'd say yes. That phrase didn't come into existence for nothing.

I got behind one of those the other day. :bad:

Even your camera doesn;t want to focus on it. I figured that the camera would like it a little better than that with them being cousins and all.

After reading that, I'm not sure if we need to call CPS or Chris Hansen.

Damn. When I walked Lincoln this morning, I realized I lost one of the center caps off the trailer. Fortunately, I have a few extras.

It’s my own fault. That wheel was one of the ones where I just opened the bead up and resealed it. When I popped the cap on, it, it was only a little pop, if that makes any sense. I should have dabbed a little silicone on the grabbers. Live & learn.

In hindsight, maybe baby was trying to jump off and get it

I’m planning to go to “caffeine and octane“ at Town Center Mall in Kennesaw, Georgia (NE ATL) on Sunday morning (7:00AM - Noon). They claim to be the biggest monthly car show in the southeast (400-600 cars/trucks). Weather is supposed to be perfect. I haven’t been in a while, not since they were hosting it at Perimeter Mall, but I plan on going monthly from now on if I can. I’m not reserving a space this time, I am just going to be in general parking to check it out.

Two Things:

First, if anybody would like to join me, I would be happy to be a central point of contact to coordinate. This is NOT an official TRS event.

Second, I’m interested to learn about other good shows, especially for trucks, in striking distance of Atlanta (1-200 miles). Let me & everybody know, please & thanks.

Let me emphasize again, caffeine and octane is early Sunday morning until noon time only. Then they run everybody off when the mall opens.
Rick,

Canton, just up the road from Kennesaw, has two shows during the summer. First Friday in downtown Canton sometimes has a car show, and Third Saturday has the Po' Boys car meet. Neither is on the scale of Caffeine and Octane, but they're pretty nice. Not 100% sure where they're having it this year, but look them up: https://www.facebook.com/poboyscarclub

I’m not sure if I can make it this time because I’m getting ready for the nationals. From the little I looked at the posting, it looks like hot rods. You guys with the V8 trucks should fit in perfect…
