The post whore thread.

Yep. I'm already working on getting them transferred over to home storage.

Wheeling the Tahoe?

[whitewalrus]

That works. ;-)

Just got back from a 4-day weekend in Moab. Hot as hell, but really an interesting place.

I bet it was hot there. I cannot handle the heat here

Hate to say my peace & quiet summer vacation is also almost over. Not looking forward to the confluence of idiot parents gathered in front of my house twice a day... the kids are rarely the issue. Denver public school starts in a few weeks.

Another hassle I get to look forward to is that someone always manages to hit my truck (usually in the first few weeks) while doing an illegal u-turn in the middle of the school zone just as school lets out because they are too lazy, stupid or both to anticipate & drive around the block. Since it IS going to happen I'd rather it be my truck than a child. At least I usually get to be an asshole (but still polite) to the person who hits the truck, it's cathartic. Kinda wish I could go all MMA just once though.

I actually bought an assortment of window pens (the ones used for prom, sports, just married etc.) & I fantasize about using them on all the folks' vehicles who park on my sidewalk, drive over my lawn, block my driveway, dump their ashtays in my street, park in front of my house on street sweeping days, hoarke my plowed parking, honk their horns incessantly, breathe, etc., etc., etc.

Still, I have hope that a few aren't little monsters in the making. I got a note once from a child who apologized that their ball went over the school fence & hit my truck & set off the alarm. No damage they could 'tell' but they weren't sure & a phone number. I called to thank them for their integrity & the parents didn't know the child had left the note until they asked the boy. Good kid.

How's that for random?

Nice to see that someone left a note. The other stuff is just the typical focus on themselves.

Got rid of the Tahoe in 2016. Took my Ram pickup. I'm not into 'wheeling'. Can't see putting money into a vehicle and then hoping not to break it while wheeling.


Was 106 at Arches while we were there. My wife probably has the best pictures since I was driving. I'll try and download her pics tonight.





I'm thrilled with my truck. Driving in 4WD/Offroad 1 for miles on unpaved roads getting back and forth to the cabin and exploring. Spent a couple of hours idling with the AC on at Arches and in town. Stop and go traffic trying to get back on I-70 Sunday. 2-3 passengers and a bunch of gear. That 5.7l Hemi averaged 21.9 mpg for the entire trip there and back.

Nice pics Gman. Looks like a good trip

You're too nice. Me i'd do to them what i did to those church goes who insisted on blocking my driveway. Using the Oh we're only here for an hour bullshit. 1 or 2 rusty screws placed under their tires. Took a few for them to perhaps get the hint. Or it might have been my friends tow truck hooking up one of the monied worshipers land rover. By that time i could care if they all burned in hell. i mean just for an hour, right.

Blocking a driveway for an hour is pretty much asking to be towed.

Man, that's too lenient.

Blew up the bambalance trans between Raton and Peublo on Saturday. Tow bill sucked ass, and the rebuild is gonna suck too.

Grrrrr.
