Turned 65 today. Retired union IronWorker with 34 years of hangin iron. Mostly high rises and low rises, Hospitals and Schools. Come from a family with 5 of us working Iron. Married 42 years with 2 grown kids. Lovin retired life!
I 100% agree! My wife’s Mazda, CX-5 has the audible warning and it is a lifesaver. I sure wish Ford would listen to their customers and update this system.
I was a union ironworker for 35 years here in Portland, Oregon. I worked on several high-rises , office buildings, and hospitals all over the northwest and California. I also was a drummer in bands for 40+ years. When people were introducing the members of the band, I would always get introduced...
My gigging days are pretty much behind me. I did play out a lot back in the day. The bar scene here in Portland is pretty rough anymore. At age 65, I don’t like packing my drums around anymore. My guitar playing is pretty much limited to the Living room. When you get in town, give me a shout.
Here’s a small sampling of my collection. I was a drummer for over 30 years, but when I retired from my day job 12 years ago, I decided to start a new hobby. I now have 50 guitars total. I don’t think I could fit them all in my maverick.
Here is my best tank total. I was driving as conservatively as I could, just to see if I could hit the 800 mile mark. Not quite, but I’m pretty happy with 775 miles on that tank. I usually fill up in the 650 mile range Easily achievable. I do almost no highway driving. Pretty much all back...
I contacted the dealer. Mine still say's remedy not available, though it was just fixed yesterday. I do believe this truck is running smoother with the recall fix. So smooth!
I had my 23E09 recall done today in my driveway. The whole thing took about 30 minutes. I went for a short 10 mile drive after they left just to make sure there were no problems. I really didn't notice any difference performance wise. I will do a more thorough assessment tomorrow . I did notice...
I just received a phone call from my local dealer for the 23E09 recall. Three weeks out, but glad they have a fix. They said they need the Mav all day. Seemed excessive, so I called another local dealer and they said the same thing. O well, at least they will shuttle me home and back.
Amen! I was sworn into my trade when I was 19 years old. And made a living wage for 33 years. Retired when I was 52 and living very comfortably from a union pension. We basically patrolled our own. If you didn’t cut it, You didn’t get to work very much. I will always support legitimate unions.
You my friend are way out of line. Unions built this country. I am a proud retired union ironworker and we build skyscrapers and bridges. This country would not be what it is without unions!
Being we are covering the whole north west, we’re probably all pretty spread out. I’m in Gresham Oregon. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys someday.
