Went to parts house to get more parts.(doing engine swap on uncles' old sport fury) Truck bitched the all the way there and back. Something about hauling Plymouth parts.

I drive an e250 with the 4.6 too. It IS slow as molasses and god forbid I need to go up a hill. I pretty much spend my day at 2500-5000rpm. Wouldn't be so bad, but my average drive to site is typically over 1.5hrs...as I work rural areas. This van is gonna have a short life me thinks...

We spent the day rebuilding some handicap doors.

I really can't complain about the power but gets the job done!

Nope, I reject your reality and substitute my own! The van is a dog, compared to my Eco.

You should see my place in Northern MN. 4' of snow everywhere, with a blessed 12' drift at my back door. I need a loader just to get in there.

This was 2 weeks ago.

Me too, had the lawn all seeded and ready to rock.

The side yard needed some fresh grass so I just got 150 ft. of hybrid Bermuda.



I'm not sure how much each piece weighs as I'd have to check, but I have a payload of 1440 and it squatted it down pretty good! :-) felt fine driving and could barely tell it was there. Now off to lay this sod! :-(

Had a new geothermal heat pump delivered to the house today. Due to the dirt road - now mud thanks to lots of rain lately - the driver couldn't get the truck up the hill to my house.

So I back my truck up to the lift at the rear of the semi trailer, and then we used the pallet jack to transfer the 500 lb pump to the bed. Then pulled up the hill to my garage, and we both about destroyed our backs lifting the thing out.
