Went on a Disney cruise. Was the first time in nearly 11 years I didn't answer a work call/email/ping. Really only because I wasn't going to pay for an Internet package or data roaming charge. Was also weird being completely isolated from the outside world. No idea what was going on in politics, world's events, stock market, etc. I will say I wish to live a life where I can ignore all of those things 100% of the time. Anywho it was a blast, I love cruises but haven't been on one since we had kids. 20250605_082040.jpg20250605_113512.jpgimage000007.jpgimage000006.jpgimage000005 (1).jpg4f1f183c-eb42-4385-bad3-4bff7ca006e8-copied-media~2.jpg93905017-8b3b-4746-81f1-3732b81cf776-copied-media~2.jpg
 
Drove my truck 1700 miles through FL's love bugs. This thing is such an amazing road trip vehicle. I love not having to stop for gas every few hours. Being able to get 800+ miles to a tank is fantastic. Being able to average 26mpg is pretty sweet, too. This one is even better than my prior gen Ecoboost. 20250608_160940.jpg20250608_160945.jpg20250608_160948.jpg20250608_173606.jpg20250608_173614.jpg20250608_173618.jpg20250608_173626.jpg20250607_203810.jpg20250607_171243.jpg
 
I was pulling a trailer today with my F-150 and the lane collision assist feature automatically turns off (the little orange light on the side mirrors). However I discovered that in the truck features settings you can turn on the "trailer blind spot assist". Holy shit batman! When you switch lanes the center screen switches to a camera side view of the side rear of the truck and the trailer automatically so you can see if anyone is in the blind spot of you and the trailer, then when you make the lane change and the turn signal goes off the center screen goes back to whatever it was on before like Google Maps or whatever. Freakin love this!

Seriously!? I'll have to look at that as I have the 360* camera option to see if that's an option for me. That appears to be a higher trim one, so maybe I don't.

Edit: I took a look and I found it. I can't enable it without a trailer, but I did find it! Next time I have the boat hooked up I'll enable it. That's pretty neat!

I wonder if you can trick it by keeping the trailer adapter plugged in.
 
Water is still about three feet above normal, so the docks and lifts all sit empty out on the lake. We've had to take control panels off a few of the lifts and rotate motors and other components up and out of the way so they don't get damaged by rising water or rising docks. Normally, it's a dry walk out to where you see the hand rail on the dock...

So I'll keep taking pictures from the shore for a few more weeks...
