Hi from South-Central Idaho (Arco)

Post by Rocket Doctor »

Hello!
Grew up, gave 30 years to the USAF fixing Minuteman III, and Peacekeeper ICBM's in Montana, Wyoming, and Utah, retired to my home town of Blackfoot in 2007, and the wife and I gave up the "big city" for a six acre 'hobby farm' within sight of Craters of the Moon Nat'l Monument.
Over the years, I've driven, and owned 67 F100 4X4, 65 Ford F100 short bed, 72 Bronco, 72 F100 long bed 2wd/4 speed, a 'smattering' of Bronco II's and Rangers, and at the moment, I've got a 93 F250, 4X4, 460/5 speed ZF, and an 04 F250 'Super duty', V10/auto, 4X4 and I use those two to haul 22' camp trailer and 23 foot Reinell 'cuddy'with 460, and 80 gallon tank..... the 'other' stuff sitting around right now are a 49 8N Ford tractor that I bought instead of a Kubota, "just because", an 86 GMC 2500, 4X4, 454/4 speed, an 82 K5 Blazer, 305/TH350, a 49 Willys CJ2A, and a 98 XJ Cherokee.
Spend as much time as I can these days doing my own stock work on rifles and shotguns, reload, and shoot, and am rarely seen outside the house and not "packin' "..... Kinda sorta an hornery old fart, and try to put up with our ten kids, and 28 grandkids. Teaching them ALL to be hornery old ********, too!
Good to read the posts from all the other 'enthusiasts/owners' of the Big Blue Oval!
