Thanks for the welcome, guys!! You definitely have a lot of sweet rides there, too!! I love Fords, but definitely respect the heck out of any good lookin' ride no matter what brand it is.
To answer your question, Bogger, I was clearing off some land about a year and a half ago and had a tree dropped on me. I was able to avoid most of it and walked away with just a broken collar bone, or so I thought. During the summer, my shoulder started giving me a lot of trouble. They did an MRI and discovered several tears and partial detachment of the muscle from the bone. During surgery, they discovered several other problems with the joint and fixed that as well. It is still hurting like a beast, but it sounds like you know exactly what I am talking about!!!
Yep, the speedway was awesome. I got to take about 12 laps on the track. A bunch of us from Ford Truck World got warned for going way too fast on the track. It was awesome to have a lifted truck on 35s going 100+ MPH and passing cars in the turns. LOL!!

Yep, I have definitely become a weather forecaster since my shoulder surgery. The cold and wet weather is absolutely the worst!!! I know the exact hurt you are talking about. Oh well, it's life. At least I can lift it above my head now. LOL!!
