We've managed to catch a few of them on camera while they weren't driving them. Mark and Ginny Rylander have a nice '02 Ram 1500 with 125,000 miles on it. Do you suppose that the reason it's in such good shape is that he occasionally prays with it? You see, Mark is a minister. Mark's white '02 Next door to us Jo Ann Hansell, her husband and her son raise beautiful horses. Of course they drive a pair of red Rams. Jo Ann's is a '07 Ram/Cummins 2500 with 230,000 miles on it while her son has a '14 Hemi-powered 1500. There are a bunch more Rams around here, but the problem is waving them down as they fly by the 2JP ranch. Jo Ann's red Rams JEEP COMES HOME After the unfortunate meet-up with a Jaguar, that tried to go under the right front wheel of our Jeep at an intersection, our Jeep came home all nicely repaired. The Jeep is a 2005 Liberty diesel and Chrysler is required to keep parts in stock for only 10 years by Federal mandate. Therefore, some of the small individual parts were not available and Kerrville Auto Body had to buy the whole front suspension assembly to complete the repairs and maintain all factory replacement components. John also ran into this parts issue when he tried to change the fuel filter recently. He had to buy the fuel filter from a local parts store as it was no longer stocked by the dealership. Finally, when the Jeep went to the alignment shop, it was found that some additional work had to be done. Now it's all completed and our Jeep is home, running great and in its little garage. HAULING After unloading critters in Junction, Texas, for the Texas Angora Goat Raisers show in June, right behind us came Barbara Sanders and Richard Hubbard of Blanket, Texas. Richard was driving a '01 Ram 2500 hauling a big trailer full of Angora goats for the show. The truck was purchased in 2008 with 103,000 miles on the odometer. It now has 350,000 miles and looks as clean as can be. Richard also has a '98 Ram with 280,000 miles and a '02 with 200,000 on it. If you take care of those Rams, they just keep going and going. Barbara was written up in the July 2015 issue of Ranch Magazine in an article entitled "Barbara Sanders Loves Her Goats." She raises registered white Angoras like I do.
