I was wondering when RICK would get nominated...


I don't think those pretty fenders or doors are on the rig right now but if my truck was sitting in that spot, I might have to take my doors off too!!


I agree, Rick gets Explorer of the century!

LOL, thanks!

Sorry I neglected TOTW this week, but I've been preoccupied with taking care of Char and keeping everything else going around here before, and after her surgery.

I do appreciate the nomination and you picked one of my favorite shots!
