What about pulling that front glass? I imagine there is some rust under that.  And new seals for that sunroof might be nice?  If it’s even an option to buy these days


That rear end is gonna look killer!!

I have had a few really nice hiking packs over the years

This has been my favorite brand. Mostly due to the quality of the water bag and the pressure system

https://www.rei.com/product/831073/geigerrig-rig-1200-hydration-pack-100-fl-oz

I don’t have this bag per day but a smaller model. 

But the pressurized bladder has washed out more then a few wounds, eyes, scraps and such.  It also help the extra winded person not have to expel so much energy to drink water.  They also have filter systems you can attach in-line of the system.
Iv enjoyed my current bag for maybe 8 years of moto use.

Camelbak was my previous.  I very much liked the shape and the way it fit my back.

That's Unique/cool/expensive!

That's the closest I could find. It's a not a teardrop but looks similar to the unit I posted but you pop it up like regular with two sides that extend out and a central dining/meeting area. Then when ready to get out you collapse it all down and put the bikes/equipment on the little platform over the tongue and move out.
I’m pretty sure [mention]Flyin6 [/mention] has one rusting away in his basement you could buy.  It’s well built but I think the value might be way low due to dust build up on the exterior

While I may have more hours into cleaning my new truck I can definitely say you run your truck a whole lot more then I do as well

Your pickup has been real good to you.

Got home at 3am & parked on street as my driveway is difficult atm during the daylight to back a fifth into (ditch on one side and logs on the other) until I get u shape and new entrance complete. So went in a took shower and 3 hour of sleep.

Get up to get machine shop ready as the hvac guys are supposed to show this morning for mini split install. I get some things moved and go out to find all of this lumber in my way and much of it way to close to our fifth wheel rv.

Apparently our rd identifies as xx wildcat rd, it used to identify as shoshone trl. Who knew?!?

So I relocated it to the street to give myself a place to park truck and trailer off whatever rd I now live on. I figure once the boss of lumber supply explains to said truck driver he was lost and delivered 5-10k worth of material to incorrect address he’ll be back for it and didn’t want him on my property.

I have a few lipo batteries in motorcycles and in the large RC cars.  The charging system is very temperamental, if someone shocked the battery with improper power it could have damaged

Jr using a solar charger for his battery is not a good idea.

Lipo batteries do best when “Balance” charged not just charged.  The high end chargers with charge the cells to all match.

We love winter time camping there also. Pretty much the park to ourselves. They stock the river in January and the kids catch a lot of trout. We try to stay almost one week each month during the slow season.
At the top of old baldy just back a ways is the second cave. The first is crystal cave near the rangers house.
So you have any updates on the house build?

Found some lava rock 2x’ rocks on a jobsite and drug them home today to set in the park strip


Some odd shape and design but better then the pink granite that the area is well known for.

Then I also picked up 7 yards of chicken mulch to hit the flower beds with. Spread that out tonight


The truck handled the rocks and mulch with ease.  I used the Mack dumptruck

Still need to build a metal rack for fire wood to clean up the fire pit area,  a few more bushes needed replaced as other have not survived.  Otherwise need to keep transplanting ground cover from the front yard and moving towards the back yard
