    Almost Home ...

    Today was the second day of a 3 day drive from my hometown of New Salem, ND. I'm spending the night in Mt. Vernon, IL and have a little over 500 miles to arrive home in Georgia. While in North Dakota, I took my F-150 in to Eide Ford in Bismarck for what turned out to be the world's most expensive oil change... I ended up driving out with a 2012 F-250 Lariat Powerstroke! I had been shopping around for several months and finally found a deal that I couldn't pass up. I have been enjoying the drive back to GA. Fuel mileage has averaged a little over 13 mpg at 65 mph and I am really enjoying the 400 hp and 800 ft/lbs! Really looking forward to being back home ...
