Still raining here, but the entire solar trickle system ready to install. Taking the Jeep in to have a "wrap" patch installed between the windshield bumpers. Was included with kit, but is critical to have for when the panel needs replacement.
Been getting it from every direction this past week. Bad MAF in wifey's Subie not in stock anywhere local so have to wait for delivery (shocking, Outbacks normally don't break down). Bunch of family emergencies, and of course the weather turns to defecation right when the Solar Trickle charge...
Got hit by a Tesla on autopilot while at a stop light.
Jeep is fine (through driver front ball joints are creaky now).
Tesla and its driver were totaled. Had tchotchkes glued over her airbag.There's another nasty image forever etched in my brain...
Starting to think the machine gods are mad at...
Knew I should have mounted cannon and hired a gun crew. Only in Nebraska does one have a need for full broadsides capability.
Yaaarrrrr!
This is a fully functional replica of a Lewis and Clark expedition "keel boat", part of a traveling show to commemorate the anniversary of the largest...
Finished cleaning up from the storm of July 31st. Have enough fire wood for the next three years, mulched the rest. Hauled new gutters. Towed in a load of lawn compost soil and raked it in. Started cleaning adventures from the undercarriage.
Have decided I hate these skid plates. Gonna have to...
Yep, liquid cooled. Own tank and intercooler. Reservoir is three times bigger than the shockingly tiny radiator one.
I love this drive train, but bloody hell it has some dumb design choices.
Well sh*#.
Jeep overheated on wifey while in bank drive through Saturday morning. No idiot lifhts or codes. She did the right thing and turned start/stop off and the heater on full blast and got it cooled down and home.
No drips and zero signs of leaks. Drove all over trying to replicate.
Zero...
Found more furniture parts in the undercarriage. Was informed truck bro was caught and arrested near Des Moines, Iowa yesterday.
Was also told everyone else is fine. WRX kid has minor whiplash and airbag rash. Got my cervical collar back and my insurance company will pay to replace the supplies...
Got hit head on by unsecured furniture at 80mph on Interstate 80 yesterday.
I have said it before, and will say it again: Nebraskans are the worst drivers in the world. I knew it was going to fall out of the lowered, dual axel pick-up (covered in right-winger decals and other offensive some...
Took the new dog with me to get him used to riding in the jeep. He's a little nervous with noise. Had to buy jars for fall canning. He was blown away by the chicken hatchlings at Tractor Supply...hijinks ensued in the dog toy aisle too...
And this is how one knows I'm a redneck- shopping with a...
Mini roadtrip to interview with NPS. Using veteran's preference, the job is mine if I want it. I have until January to decide. Can't say where, but is fossil related, seasonal, and pays more than I'm making now. Downside is either away from home M-F for the summer or relocate.
Getting ready for the penultimate Jeep show in the Eastern Nebraska metro. Also re-equipping and doing maintenance getting ready for winter and Uber runs.
Daddy needs integral solar, ARB locker upgrades, a winch I'll never need, and a trip to Vermont to requalify as a top roper and backcountry...
Spent the morning running around town picking up materials to finish the repairs from the monster storm on July31st. 60’ of gutters, 30’ of downspouts, chainlink fence repair bits, 50lbs of post set concrete, and most excitingly, 50’ of light fencing materials to build a “exclusionary training...
