You think I had a choice on the name??!! I wanted a boy and was going to name him trigger, but that clearly didn’t happen.

Funny side note. I caught a foul ball during Spring Training years ago and got it signed by Hazel. I was beyond drunk and thought it was a brilliant idea at the time.

I only said that because most are familiar with her rep. I have a friend in the business and Jesus the stories about her are endless. Wendy Nix was another.

Be Goodrich all terrain k02 I see? Good off road tires. That's what I have on my 2015 Tacoma.....45k into em now and plenty of life left. That's good mileage from an off road tire.

The taco I just bought comes with toyo open country at3....wish it was BF Goodrich but these are the tires the trd pro comes with so.....I'll stick with them and see what happens.

I was looking at that one at RM myself the last couple weeks, I was there doing some work. I was right on the edge but I do a lot of highway driving and thought those tires would be kind of loud. Did you get it? It's a sweet ride.

Yup pick it up this week. Reviews on the open country say they are not overly loud. The bf Goodrich all terrains I ran on my 2015 taco aren't that loud either.....but....my highway driving is limited. I only put 9k a year on my truck my commute is only 2 miles to work. Highway driving is limited to hunting trips in Maine. So....I don't get highway trips too often to compare.

There were 2 other couples in there looking for new tacomas. They only had this trail edition and 2 silver sr5 models in stock. I was going to hold off and wait for an off road edition to come In stock but I fell in love with this one.

That's what I get factory on the Rubicon although it has 2 choices for off road tires. Eventually I will upgrade the Jeep to 35s but right now they're fine. Given how hard it was to find a 2 door Rubicon Jeep I figured I didn't have many choices. I originally wanted the nacho orange color for the Jeep but the hellayella which is what this Jeep is, really sticks out. So far I'm pretty happy and I've never owned a Rubicon before so this should be fun. Now if only we can get some decent weather so that I can remove the hardtop and doors.

Well you've helped with my decision to either buy new or fix up the jeep. [smile]
 
I got a new $2,000 scar on my back this month. Will spare you the pictures!

Sweet wheels. BTW if you get a Kayak stay away from tubberwear ones, in other words stay out of big box stores...except REI! Since you spent top dollars for the truck get yourself a real kayak...like an Epic. Enjoy your new wheels.

I don't do kayaks. I have a 16 foot radisson. Only 35 pounds and I can stand in it to fish. Currently I use a bed extender that fits on the tow hitch receiver. This truck I'll either use that or use the roof rack. 20200620_170256.jpg

I've never worried about looks too much.....until this purchase. I have a paid off house now.....many months of emergency bill paying money on the Bank.....retirement plans are fine (army pension, ss, and a 401k where I want it......with 12 plus years left of work till I retire. Plus the company did well this year and I maxed out my bonus potential (15% of annual salary)......my wife says I've worked hard and deserve it. 😂

We walked into the showroom and saw that and immediately said....hell yes. She's more excited about it than I am.

Problem is the registry is backed up bad in mass. They only do drop box registrations even for dealers. 4 business days to process then they mail the plates and reg. Dealer said won't be ready till middle of next week. f*** my life. We couldn't do a plate swap because the old car we traded was In my wife's name.....and I need my name on this reg to get my veteran plates. Oh well. I'll have to wait.

We had to put our 6 yr old Foxhound down earlier this month and it was the first time I had to do it. f*** that, what a horrific ordeal.

Finding a pup or any pet right now is like finding 9mm or a PS5/Xbox Series X.

I always rescue but the waitlist for the shelters around here are too long and we were a wreck without an animal in the house.

2 days later I found a Golden Retriever pup in CT. It was from a breeder whom the lady knows dogs from (therapy dogs.)

Pretty pricey but worth it. I hate people [rofl]

Gimme dogs.

Liam, 3mo. (ENGLISH CREAM) Golden Retriever or white boi as I call him. My family is white as f*** now. Such racism wow.
