yup, they are nice and we are starting earlier with the ot. oh by the way the guy they hired to replace you is close to going out the door justin is fed up with him already, dud e has an attitude.

on another note related to work is that dirt riot is looking very slim for me to make it. it is my long weekend and my partner has plans and can not switch at this moment. we will have to see as the time draws closer.

Got hooked up by 4WS.com. Took advantage of their "club pricing" and scored me a Tuffy Security enclosure and a Tuffy CCW drawer for under the driver seat. Saved me a bunch!

Sounds like a great buy James.

I just calculated my first tank of gas on my road trip. Driving against the wind for 4 hours did not help my fuel economy. Got a huge 12.04mpg. Great googly moogly!

Averaging 18.5 on the FJ it drops to 17.75 when that lead foot takes over the skinny pedal.

Just updated myself on past going-ons. Main points I got were that we need to organize a group to complete the building of Fort Higher Ground (ironically located at the bottom of a canyon) as well as a group to go to town on Virgil's property. Good thing summer has arrived!



Yeah, it's built to code-ish

LOL It's still there too, saw it couple weeks ago.. hasn't changed a bit.

Interesting. I gave that thing 6 months tops, but if what you say is true I see the start of a fort building business...Ripvis Incorporated. Or perhaps Avley Contractors.

I just spent 4 hours at Airpark Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Scottsdale. I had a scheduled 60K maintenance and got robbed of $885.

Transmission Fluid Exchange $160
Front Differential Service $135
Rear Differential Service $150
3-Stage Fuel System Service $280
Cooling System Fluid Exchange $120

The rest was shop fees and taxes.

GEEZ! I left there bow-legged and ass-cramped!

I did get a bottle of vasaline, in the form of a Jeep Club 10% discount.
I had to do this to maintain my extended warranty. I'm starting to think this warranty is BS. :mad:

Soon, I'm going to have to replace plugs/wires, flush power steering and brakes. I'm going to try and do this myself. I SURE I could of done most of the above, too. If not, I'm sure with the help of someone on the board.

That just pisses me off.

Got a text from my dad.

Dad: In St Thomas doing great. Hows the dog?

Me: Awesome. The dog is alive and doing good.

Dad: Your mom is alive and doing good to.

I love my family.
