  1. Just got back from 7-day cruise with wife for our 25th anniversary. Even though I hit the gym on the ship regularly, walked up 7 flights of stairs several times every day, and tried to keep the overindulgence in check, I still managed to gain 5 pounds. Back on the program.

    Sounds worth it!

  2. I hit my goal weight of 185lbs friday of last week, down from 196. Weigh in this morning said 188. Not sure what happened sat and sun, but it'll keep me workin. Fire season is a month away, so stayin lean and getting stronger is a must! Keep the diet clean, run 4 days a week, and weight train like a savage (for endurance)... not to be a meat head.


  3. Carfax reports that the oil has always been changed every 4 to 5 thousand miles, and has had 3 full fluid services in gear boxes and diffs since it was new, almost every 50,000 miles. New plugs were done 20,000 miles ago. Seems that the previous owners took care of it, can't wait to just go see,listen, and drive it. Hopefully it all checks out and I can have a truck again. Thanks for the advice guys!


  4. Thanks for all the advice guys. I used to have an '02 with the 4.6L and was impressed with how bullet proof it seemed to be, just wasn't sure about the 5.4. This truck I'm lookin at has been garage kept it's whole life and consistently maintained, super clean. Haven't drove it yet or heard it run, that'll obviously be the make it or break it point.


  5. Hey fellas, thinkin bout buying a 2005 f150 with the 5.4L triton, with 140,000 miles on it. I know that there were issues with spark plugs and timing components right around this time. Does anyone here have any experience with that year of engine? Either good or bad experience?


  6. Wife just called, doc said it's nothing to be alarmed about, most likely just from a small tear in his bowels from pooping so much as a newborn. Told us to watch him closely for a couple days and if he becomes fussy and irritable to come back. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys, love my kids to death and it scares the **** outta me when somethings not right.

  7. My youngest son, now 2 weeks old, had an alarming amount of blood in his stool and diaper today. My wife has rushed him to his doctor while I stay home and take care of our 2 other children. Please keep my little man in your thoughts and prayers that everything is/will be ok. Thanks for praying for my little Henry
