Day 3 of Ford’s Trend Conference #FordTrends

Started off yesterday at Ford’s “Proving Ground”.

Every automaker has one, and I’ve always dreamed to go, just because of the name.

A little track time, but I only cruised around.

Was neither the time nor place to punch it.

More individual posts coming about the robot cars, and some new headers.

But the best part of the day was touring Ford’s factory.

SO rare that media is permitted to take photos. Extremely rare. And since I filmed every robot I could find, that ought to become a good exclusive video.

Nestled into a gorgeous post, just look at this photo example.

As an OCD wackjob, this was right up my ally.

Then it was back to the airport, where next week’s column came from (Ford uses Craigslist to hire men to test its F150).

Passed through this terminal, and folded space and time #NoFilter

Throw in a wing tip photo here, to quickly illustrate I was travelling.

Hoovered up 100 American MBs (since Tuesday afternoon).  Thankfully TELUS has good US plans, because I bet many of you didn’t put that much through while here at home.

kk I am OUT of here.

I had 2 deadlines with the paper today, and I’ve been sitting in a booth at a franchise restaurant for hours now, pounding my keyboard.

TTY Monday. I’m not travelling anywhere far next week, so back to normal around here.

Have a great weekend xo

 

 

Back in Country

Really great day. My first time to a proving grounds, where I always wanted to go, just because of the name alone.

Then a factory tour where I could even take photos. Extremely rare. That’ll be a good looking post, and I filmed all the robots too.

Finally made it home around 11, so calling it a night here and will tell you all about it soon. I almost hit the hallucination phase in the sleep deprivation sequence, but a massive coffee fixed that. For a minute.

Have to be way west of the city at 9am tomorrow, so TTY after that.

Until then, here’s my squished face.
