Wheel wells aren't fully painted and there's a chunk of the paint gone that's level with the cab of the truck and the bed. There's a few more around it that's not being picked up by the camera. Should I try and make ford repaint this or suck it up and live with it?

I can confirm Ford has done the same here for the Ranger Raptor my brother paid $92,000 AUD and where they could cut costs they did the engine bay doesn't look like it would hold out much water the interior is a little meh with materials. They are "Made in Thailand" but a beautiful ute.

In my opinion you don't need any mods just press the button and hear that twin turbo 🐌🐌 V6 petrol sing.

I love Japanese fishing lures. I've got a bunch of bounty fish that I need to test out. I also have this weird thing that's jointed, its super light.. like its made out of Styrofoam or something and has a black spinner on the bottom. I think I paid $65 for it and I've never used it lol I'll try to get a picture of it when I get home Saturday.

My wife thought I was crazy for buying a $350 crankbait rod.... until the $500 Megabass X-Bites showed up.. then she deemed me clinically insane.

Same. I really like some Japanese lures

This new one I got from eBay combines a lot of my favorites

Orange
Top water
Crawler

It arrived by itself in a box large enough for cats to fit in

When it warms up I will be trying this for sure.

That looks real good!! Just to big for my lake, probably need a broomstick to work it lol I'm kidding. Chartreuse works really good in my lake.. they shocked it a few years ago and shocked up a 10+ pound smallmouth, so naturally its been fished to death since they released the picture.

Good luck with it. I hope it serves you well and brings in a pb!

Now I have to get my ass back up and go get eggs or there will be no breakfast tomorrow 😒

How many mirrors have you broken?

Bad stuff happening everywhere, a friend who lives a few houses over, his wife was getting out of bed and felt light headed, she fainted with her leg in an awkward position, got a compound fracture of the ankle, turns out she had covid as well, that's why she fainted. My neighbour had to go in to have his nose re-broken do to a misalignment causing constant infections, he had to go back in because he got another infection, fortunately he's feeling much better now. And I broke a tooth last week, not enough left to repair, so they pulled it, but hey, I can get an implant if I want, for $10k+, luckily it's at the back, so I'll see how I go without it.

On the plus side, we had a nice mild overcast day, so I walked over 6km with the dogs this morning.

We do have a Black cat 🐈‍⬛️ I was feeling a little off on Australia day,
but put that down to the UV that I copped, I did notice a few red lumps but I honestly thought they were from sweating when walking.

Mum wasn't feeling to crash hot either i woke up Monday to find out she had Covid this will be her 3rd time poor mum.

As for the tooth I would see how you go, I had a failed root canal wasted 4K-5K on the bloody thing bloody dentist are like a car dealership these day's get em in get em out let's go.

I think the bad luck comes from my dad's last name 🤫

My sister had a habit of closing the doors on my Mustang by the (frameless) glass and not the handle. The key word there HAD. ;)

One of my gardening clients likes to lean up against and rest hands on my truck. Considering it's usually when money is changing hands, I have to bite my lip. I also caught my father running the back of his hands across the spoiler of my XR6 that was covered in dust.....................it didn't go down well. :mad:

Sorry to hear about your troubles, health stuff sucks.
 
I wanted some lights for my side gates, so anybody who walks up to them sees the "Beware: Dogs on the premises" signs, they are locked, but it's better if they don't even try. I was looking at solar fence lights for $6, but then I saw solar wall lights for $6.50 with batteries double the capacity, sold.

I've used the panic alarm on the FJs key fob to get people away from it. I was waiting to pick up some takeaway and 3 guys were standing next to it, one looked like he was about to lean on it, it was very loud, so they moved. When I was leaving they looked at me, so I just told them it has a proximity alarm, and they got too close.

Yeah when I saw the cut marks on the tint from all the rings my Auntie wears i was nearly going to say something especially when they paid 4k on a MG rental that only travelled 1000km in the time they were here.

Plus the business class seats to Germany one way for 1 adult $10,000

I can tell you this Deyon they kept the rental clean didn't they put

Rant over but I'm just CHOMPING at the bits to get stuck into but can't....

☹️

I'm not even sure I knew that (that you could catch chickenpox from someone with shingles). Do you not vaccinate for chickenpox down there? Here in the US virtually anyone who was born before the vaccine had chickenpox as a kid, so is immune (from chickenpox) either way (I guess).

And now you can look forward to possibly getting shingles later. Apparently people who were vaccinated for chickenpox can still get shingles, but are at less risk than people who actually had chickenpox.

Yeah we have vaccination down here for Chickenpox, I've had Chickenpox as a child just guess I'm unlucky.

My mother is a nurse and I pretty much knew everything you said already
But my dad's hygiene through this could of been better but all it takes is to use a hand towel that he used and 2 weeks later i gave birth to little red puss filled dot's.

I'm pretty sure my nephew has had chicken pox, and shingles, and when he lived with us back in Sydney, I went to use my toothbrush one morning but it was already wet, yeah, he couldn't remember which one was his so just grabbed the cleanest looking one. I threw that one out and kept the new one hidden. It was just wrong.
