I’m a truck owner.

Details after the title has been changed over to my name on Tuesday!

Praise the Lord for His blessings!

If this isn’t just some elaborate Photoshop hoax, I’m embarrassed.

A Chinese monk has been recently photographed along with the floor where he prays because for decades he has been standing in the same spot every day as he prays. The photographs are amazing and the story is a two-by-four to the face for us Christians who barely pause long enough to thank God for our food at each meal.

I know I will be trying this in the near future!

Tonight on the way to dinner we saw a ’95 Ford Ranger pickup just down the street from us!

Here’s the story – It’s a 5-speed manual transmission, has at least 2-different kinds of tires, has some “electrical problems” as the owner told me (the wipers turn on by themselves, and the radio doesn’t turn off), it’s got 184,000 miles, it’s currently owned by the second-owner.

I’m purposefully NOT posting the asking-price because I want those of you knowledgeable in used vehicles to let me know what you think it should cost?

A quick walk-around tonight (in the dark) revealed little-to-no rust, an inside that looked better than I expected, and Pennsylvania inspection stickers that are good through the end of February.

I’m hoping to drive it around the neighborhood this weekend.
