A day at the park

We went to the park so that Willow could get some of her energy out. She absolutely loved it, but was panting almost as soon as we got there from her running in circles.

Brandon decided that Willow needed a drink. So he grabbed my water bottle and let her have a drink out of it! Gross!

Her she is again getting her slobber all over it! It'll have to be washed now.
And of course, it was a park in Idaho so there has to be some sort of giant gun for the kids to play on. And here is my big kid, Brandon happy as can be with his giant gun.
After walking around at the park we saw that there was a baseball game going on so we watched some boys, they were about tweleve play a game. Willow loved all the time she got to spend outside. I must say Brandon and I rather enjoyed it too!

'Aint nobody dope as me... I'm just so fresh 'n so clean!

Today, Dad and I worked on the truck. We changed the oil (it hadn't been don in over 5,000 miles), put on a new oil filter, lubed the joints, got a new air filter, and adjusted the idle and air/fuel ratio. The truck took a whole six qts of oil! I'm not that suprized givin the fact that it's a 460 cubic inch V8. After we finished all that work we gave it a good bath. It took us 2 hours to wash it. I swear, it hadn't been washed in over 10 years! I washed it while dad rinsed it. I had to ues an a-frame ladder to reach the top of the canopy. We decided it would be too much trouble to take it off. The only problem with that was getting between the canopy and the back of the cab. You can see how far we were able to get though in the picture below. Al in all... it lookes a whole lot better than it did. It is now back to a 2-tone paint job instead of a 3-tone (white, brown, and seaweedy moss green).
