Ahh…I sure did miss having a 4-wheel drive vehicle for the past few years. We took the truck to the Mounds area today and put it through its paces. With all the rain we’ve had lately, I was very worried about getting stuck, but I think that’s because I’ve become used to driving 4×2 pieces of shit. It performed flawlessly in the mud, but now it badly needs a run through the car wash.
We collected about 400 pounds (or so) of rocks for our yard, and found two places that are just littered with fossils. Tomorrow we’re going to fill the truck bed up with firewood from near Airport Road. We’ve finally run out of the firewood from the trees I cut down in the back yard more than five years ago. Traci and I have decided that we’re going to get our money’s worth out of this truck, and so far, we’re off to a good start.
