or a different color or something. Although I have reached for the blue ethanol free nozzle at bucceess a few times but never actually picked it up. Maybe its a subconcious thing of seeing the blue colored DEF fill after opening the fuel door and then turning around and reaching for a hose.

Yes, a Leek or Gerber Evo serrated. Have several of each. They are both thin, lightweight and relatively inexpensive. The close lock on the Leek can come undo and it wants to open in your pocket and the Gerber liner lock isn't super strong but both of these have worked well for me for sub $40 knives.

Apiary thread is in hobbies. @Walden Ponderer has a few hives I believe.

NSIAPed cause Chicks with Guns!

Yes, 8am CST. The site wasn't available, clock on ipad turned 8AM, hit refresh and it was there. I've seen on some RV sites where people have reserved on a Tuesday or Wed through Sunday and then went back and cancelled Tuesday to Thursday and showed up on Friday like they wanted. That's kinda gaming the system even more so that just waking up at the time available and I expect that if it happens a lot more this coming summer TPWD might change cancellation policies. We've started doing kind of the opposite and reserving Sunday night too, then we leave later in the day or evening to get back home rather than lining up at the dump station at 11:30 with everyone else. Only cost an extra $20 for an RV site and it works nice when we have the boat with us to get an extra afternoon on the water.

Going on a longer distance backpacking trip or just need to carry a short distance? Budget? Nice weather camping or can handle a decent storm? My goto for new campers used to be a REI Passage 2 but it doesn't seem available right now. It had a decent price/performance point and pretty easy to deal with REI on warranty or repair parts isses. 2 We bought about a dozen or so of them for our scout troup and got good use out of them for regular camping and backpacking. A lot of the scouts bought there own Passages too and we had a couple used on each of the Philmont treks I was part of. My son has probably spent 100 nights in his. I have one of the older Quarterdome 2+ but I don't see them any more and my daughter has a HalfDome 2+. Its a great tent but might start to be out of your price range. Looks like REI has one called the Trail Hut for $200 that looks pretty good. If you have a $$ price range look at the Big Agnes, Marmot or other lightweight tents.

8 AM exactly , 5 months to the date. We set an alarm Sunday morning to alert us and I reserved a campsite on the water that we wanted for the second week of June. Sunday was the 10th and our reservation is for the 10th. I logged on before 8am and signed into my account and actually had a reservation for 5 nights starting the 9th in my cart, and as soon as it hit 8AM I changed the cart to 4 nights and the 10th and it went through.

Can I haz some of those $275 Superposeds please?

Hey buddy, your cow is on fire ... 7KNG1zl.mp4

You getting rid of a lot of imitation crab meat too?

I was waiting on the guys with the packages of dope.

I got my 2019 6.7 Ram 2500 back in June and did the first oil change at 11K miles at the first of December. Pretty easy to drain but you need a 93mm filter cap socket wrench (Lilse PN 61580) and a flex head 3/8 socket wrench to get the filter off by going through the passenger wheel well. Service interval is 6 months/15K miles and I decided to do it a little early on the miles. Was planning on doing fuel filters at the same time but kept pushing it off and finally got to it right after Christmas at 13.5k miles. Used a short 28mm socket and flex extension for the filter housing caps and a 1/4" hose fits rear filter housing drain nipple to drip into the drain pan. For the engine mounted filter, a 3/4" hose fits right over the short hose already mounted to the housing and got tywrapped to the steering stablizer to hold in place. That rear filter is located directly above the rear driveshaft with the fuel tank on driver side and the muffler on the passenger side so there isn't much room to get to it. Watch a couple of videos online because when you loosen the the rear filter there is still about a cup on fuel in the base cap that spills everywhere. I was ready and made a baffle out of cardboard to deflect most of the fuel back into my drain pan. The front filter is easy and was able to change it without spilling any oil. Here's a pic of the parts and tools I used and the old filters. The front filter is on the left and looks brand new, the rear filter is pretty dark but from what I gather online it is typically asphaltenes in the fuel. I had a '98 Dodge with a 5.9 Cummins for 10 yrs/ 225k miles and don't remember what the filter on it looked like when change. I guess as long as the engine mounted filter looks clean I won't worry too much. I poured off the fuel I drained into a clean bottle and let it sit a while and I don't see any water separating out. I'm finding out that the fuel pump (CP4.2) used in the '19-20 Ram 6.7 Cummins has some issues and will grenade if small amounts of water gets past to the pump. FCA isn't taking care of their customers saying that bad fuel is blamed in a number of the failures. Interesting as the truck has two filters and can still get 'bad fuel' to the pump. This same pump was used on Duramax and is still on the Ford and all of them have had issues. So much that FCA just recently went back to the CP3 pump for 2021 6.7 Cummins engines. Hoping that FCA will do a recall on existing CP4 engines and update. Probably a $2k replacement vs $15k when the pump fails and craters the whole FI system. So, that's how I installed $101.90 worth of Mopar fuel filters from Geno's Garage. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Hope everyone had a great New Year holiday and are getting your camping plans and reservations for the year sorted out. We waited out the bad weather on Wednesday and Thursday and then took our trailer up to our family property to start the New Year. We were boondocking for the first time and it worked out pretty good. I had replaced the stock 12V 90AH battery with 2 GC2 6V 230AH batteries before we left and have 2 100W solar panels running through a small Victron MPPT controller. It worked really well with the full sun on Saturday and Sunday and we also have a 3600w Ryobi invertor generator that we ran a bit while cooking to be able to run the microwave and help charge the battery. I think I will add a battery monitor that has bluetooth and a small pure sine wave inverter and transfer switch to power a couple of small AC loads from the batteries. RVIng is great! Oh, no RVing also sucks! 200 miles to the ranch and as I got out to get the gate, I smelled burning from one of the trailer axles. Grabbed the infared gun and measured hub temps and one was 450F. Oops! I was hoping it wasn't a bearing that I would have to chisel off the spindle. Looks like the brake magnet got stuck on that wheel and wouldn't release. I pulled the hub and re-greased the bearings and it seems good to go for now. Gonna go ahead and order a brake assembly for that side just in case and a set of bearings, races and seals.

Buy another MBT. Best $80 you can put in an AR.

I bought a 12” Dewalt 20v before Thanksgiving at the early Black Friday sale at HD. I cut some dried and green stuff up to about 6” and it did ok. Only paid $100 for it and I have a bunch of other 20v stuff so I’m happy with the buy. My wife even grabbed it and cut some stuff in the back yard and she’s never wanted to touch a chainsaw before. One thing I did read about was taking it into state or national parks to saw up fallen down fire wood where a engine based saw wouldn’t be allowed. If nothing less, I throw it in the travel trailer on trips to just up some wood for the fire.

It symbolizes the pain and suffering the man endured over unfolded laundry.

What are you trying to keep in? And what type of wire fabric fence did you get quoted? 8’ tposts are $6ea, 60” tall, 2x4 mesh galvanized field fence is $1.25 a foot, a tpost driver is $40. Field fence goes up quick, probably quicker than 4 strands of barbed wire. $28/ft seems high to me.

Someone layout the pro and cons of wildlife management vs cattle operation for property tax purposes. I’ll hang up now and listen.

Put in your time M,W,F mornings in line at an Academy is probably the best way to buy at normal prices. I’ve seen some 9mm and 45 recently into the afternoon at a couple of them when they get in big shipments.

Oh, that? That there’s an RV. Merry Christmas you fellow tenement on wheels owners!

Never seen the wife’s tv show but that’s not a bad 49yo ... https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAYrs5h8DZ/
