Noobs, LOL... any state. Colorado is one I'd for sure like. Might be able to acquire an Idaho, Wyoming, Texas, North Dakota fairly easy because I have family there. Hell.. I have a cousin in Colorado too. I have a couple I can exchange. And soon I'll have the current plate off the Eight Nine available for someone.... hell, it can leave now. I have a sticker.

Brew... that was back when I wouldn't leave the house without a hat. Curious what hat I was wearing. A friend of mine got to drive Suzanne Somers around on a forklift. I was jealous... and at the time I was really into Three's Company. It was on TV Land and/or Nick and Nite.

Ohio, those lights look awesome! I've been thinking about replacing the two I have in my truck - only because the lenses are getting kind of dingy. But.... it does match the rest of the truck right now, LOL.

I was up until 3 am this morning due to my rotator cuff being on fire. Soooo, I did the smart thing and tried to get another fence post out today. I swear this guy that lived here used no less than 5 bags in all of these posts. I put 3 bags in the last one I dug out and still had to get a couple bags of top soil.

Apparently just before I fell asleep I ordered some clear headlights for my 89. Hmmmm... hope it looks good.

EDIT: Looking for more garage art, and look what I came across. See if you spot the error:

If you want a Virginia one just PM where you want it mailed. I have a few.

I understand if you don't, I'm not sure I want them on my cars anymore but that is for reasons we aren't supposed to talk about here.

Good eye! I was going to get it until I saw that. Got another one instead.

The F150 talked to me today. Guess I have investigative work to do just to make sure it's not a wiring issue. I already have Motorcraft O2's for it that I got in a parts lot purchase.





EDIT: Did Skylar and his Dad open a shop?

Those O2's can produce that DTC when old. Doesn't usually occur before 100,000 miles on the sensor. Anytime after though, yes. If you want, just delete that one and let it ride, - it may not come back for few years. There's two layers to the sensor inside, the outer layer deteriorates, thins out with time. Naturally occurs with any vehicle.

You could have a harness issue.....it's possible but doubtful. Do you have Ford mice white ? lol.

LOL, nope... not many mice here. Couple streets over there's an issue though. Some friends of ours have a giant field behind them, and they have mice bad. Luckily they haven't made it up here yet. BTW.... one of my Buddy's from when I was a wee lad lives in Australia now. He's in the middle of that huge mice problem they're having. Miss that dude... haven't called him since Christmas. Probably oughta get on the horn with him.

On the O2 code... I cleared it right after I took that pic. Figured it might just shut up if it's not a harness issue.... but unless it's rubbing something it should be just fine. It has not been disturbed though, so yeah... pretty unlikely

When my FIL was still alive, he drove down to see us in his (somewhere around 09) Chevy 3500 and it threw the same code on him. His was a harness issue.... I found that it had rubbed through up on the frame. Not sure if it got messed with when the 5th wheel was installed, or if it was just a poor job by GM. He lived out in the sticks with lots of bumpy roads - so that helped it out for sure.

EDIT: If you haven't seen any of this, check it out.

Yuk, what a mess ^^^. I take it kangaroos don't eat mice. Or is it wallabies ? I think they're called kangaroos...

Anyway, yea, nasty problem, they are being taken over. Hope they have a good brain trust working on the issue....get it worked out before the water table is contaminated. That could be catastrophic

Whitey - I'll part with one of my Ohio plates if you want one. No Colorado ones, though, as I've not gotten rid of any vehicles yet without replacing them.

Mice - For the first time in eight years of living here, i heard one scratching inside the bedroom wall yesterday. One 1.25" hole in the under-stair cubby, wall, one piece of mouse bait, and one blank outlet cover later... no more scratching. I need to go around now and see where steel wool needs to be added around the foundation/wall perimeter.
