we Are planning a trip to go visit my parents this summer. This will be a 14-15 hour drive and the wife wants to take the mini van to make the trip ( fine with me. Going to be a bit cheaper on gas)

the biggest issue im facing is how to set the back of the mini van up to keep the kids entertained for the drive
An Aluminum cage would save weight which would increase your gas mileage !!

Mornin all.

Woke up too early for a Saturday. Stayed up too late.

Making a dump run this morning, then going to Lowe's, and Costco.

Then I need to mow the front lawn, add polymeric sand to the patio.

Then it's trying to fix my ground issue on the trailer lights, and hopefully build my partition wall to go between the fridge/water section of the trailer, and the main storage area.
Didn't have enough time to mow the lawn, and Lowe's was out of polymeric sand.... We also spent WAY too much money at Costco (surprise!), and it took way longer than expected.

Good news is that the trailer lights are now working like they are supposed to.

It poured down rain yesterday, so no outside work. I had about a 30 minute window to replace the nylock nuts on the privacy awning on the X, and to fish my debit card out from below my switch panel, so I managed to get those accomplished yesterday.

I've got everything I need to add two 12v sockets and 6 usb ports to the rooftop tent in my Amazon cart. I'm debating just spending the money to get that done.

They're just trying to bring you back.

Sup man? Been a while. How are things?

This implies I left. I still have it, but man it needs some TLC. Front windows barely work, storm damage on the hood, front bumper and sliders need a fresh coat of paint, I have a squealing belt, and the brakes need to be turned.

shiat no, i went to but its "premium" peacock or some shiat so i gotta yo ho ho it somewhere.

Its HBO. Good show, but I didn't really care for the Pollack season. I felt like
there was a lot of story left there by the end, particularly with whats-his-face's nephew.

Sounds wheelable? What's the issue?

I can't begin to replace mine. I'm hoping to see 400k on it eventually.

You either do maintenance or make car payments. It all averages out.
Same. Not only do I not want to spend the money. But there's nothing that really entices me to do so. If they did a new X on the 22 Fronty platform, I'd think about it. But there wouldn't be a 3 pedal option. Which is a big deal.

I'm rolling over 200kmi here in the coming month. There are some things that aren't worth fixing at that point. I also want some modern amenities and better than 14mpg downhill, with a tailwind, with the engine off.
Well. Thats a relief. Not even a mark in the barrel
... That you can see.

Bum clutch knee so not an issue here. But the only thing out there that interests me is a 2dr Rubicon with the hybrid drive. But not till they make some headway with the electronics.

I have been following the 4xe very closely. There will probably never be a manual in that due to the drivetrain. I'm also not sure we'll see a PHEV or straight up EV in the 2dr configuration in the next 5 years due to the battery sizes. They will probably stick with the 4dr since they outsell the 2drs per customer invoice tracking.

A good shooter with years of Experience, you done good.. you Keyed in on the Light load.. Many others would Fire a second round.

Least yea did not slap Rack Fire!. ( Bad bad old school method).

Bad Re-load?. Isolate the batch, Weigh each round.. OR pull em..

Barrel Should be good.. no harm with Squib round not enough pressure. Unless you used a metal Ram rod? OR fired another round ( And survive ).

Picked up since burger patties and dressings from the local butcher after work. Including some thick slices pepper jack cheese. Grilled them up on the new 18" Weber and man, that's good eating. Even if I was basically swimming through the air to get to the grill.
Dog is either looking at your Tasty Foot ( soon to chomp into... OR that fancy nice Burger... ) Or both..
