The right tool for the job.

It was becoming alarmingly clear the the old VW was just not the right work vehicle for some of the trips to the lumberyard, garbage dump, tool rental, etc., etc. So my brother in law offered up his fathers 85 F150 as long as we needed it (he needed the space, and it needed all new brakes, calipers, and rotors). This is just what we needed, too; on it's first weekend run I :dropped off scrapwood for a friend's woodstove, took the old stairs to the dump, dropped off expired paint, bought a door at the home recyclers, and picked up a friends offered recliner---all in one trip! The dog even came too! With 4 cars we are going to have vote one off the island. . .maybe two . . but I think we'll keep the truck for a while.
