I'm all over the place on this one... I grew up and lived in St. Louis Missouri for over 40 years and almost two years ago, I had had enough of the city, crime and BS thats going on there, so I moved a few hours South of there to the outskirts of a small town called Fredericktown... So, now Instead of gangbangers for neighbors, I have cows, deer, wild turkeys and other critters for neighbors and can hear the creek running front my front porch or on the couch with the front door open if its really running.... I dig it...
I worked for Charter Communications for almost 20 years as a DOCSIS Network Engineer. I also dealt with a lot of their interconnects from building to building and Fiber customers...
Do to a merger/Reorg they were forcing all the Engineering staff to move from wherever they were to Denver Co. THIS, right after I move and buy the (almost) place of my dreams...
So, I left there and now work for a small family owned Rural WISP....
My friends and family joked and said, You're going to have to get you a Full Size Ford for down there... I was like Naaa, I don't need that much truck...
Turns out I need one for my driveway in the winter and to pull our Travel Camper with, my Chevy Trailblazer and Dodge Dakota just weren't cutting it... So the Dodge is out and the F150 is in...

Analyzer Tech
Hey guys, I am an Analyzer Technician for Chevron Chemical Company in a small town called Sweeny, TX. If you want to know what I do, look up Gas Chromatographs, CEMS, Gas Detectors, PH analyzers, and just plant analyzers in general, for oil and gas facilities on Google to see what I service and repair because it would take too long to type out.

Hi, I'm Gabriel, and I'm from McAllen, Tx. I have recently bought myself a 2017 Ford F-150, with the 2.7L motor with EcoBoost. So far that truck has some serious power, I was passing this car on the street and man, does that truck respond. I definitely feel the power of the turbos. Oh, forgot to say what I do, I am a special ed. Teacher. Currently going for my Masters in Cybersecurity as I want to change professions. I have been teaching for 10 years now and I have enjoyed it, but working in special ed. is not something I would consider working for long term till retirement. So hopefully with my cybersecurity degree in computer forensics will open up new doors for opportunity in the near future. Should be done by the end of 2018. God bless everyone out there and have fun driving your Ford pick-up. I know I will. Any veterans out there, I am an OIF veteran, was deployed to Iraq in 03-04, that was one crazy year for me, I'm just glad I made back to Texas in one piece.

My name is Matt. I'm a powerline technician and I live in a small town in Newfoundland, Canada. My last pickup was a fx4 5.4 but sadly it had engine problems. Last year I bought my brand new 2016 f150 sport 4x4 with the 5L. I love it! I'm doing my first upgrade right now. 12 '' kicker sub in a sub thumb enclosure and new kicker speakers all around with 2 JL amps powering them. I'm thinking a levelling kit with a set of black 20's, a raptor grill, new headlights, cold air intake and an aftermarket exhaust. Good luck to everyone with their upgrades!!!
