    Welcome!
    You got this in while I was editing the last post. Yup, live just outside of Palmerton. Been through New Tripoli a few times.
    Try to keep those darn coyotes on your side of the mountain! :D

    Good afternoon.
    Don't know how I missed this thread.
    Have a 2008 DCLB 4x4, lifted, with some off road mods.
    We like pitting or chasing for a Trophy Truck (Trick Truck) team in Baja California races.
    Getting ready for the Baja 1000.
    Today my #1 Grandson helped me with Anytime-Foglight Mod, Always on front marker lights and new LED backup light installs. Three out of three successes - he is a smart young man!
    I'm lucky my wife of 49 years likes Baja and goes most times. This time grandson is going - great fun.
    The rest of the family think I'm nuts driving to Baja races at 70+ - I am!!
    Have a good weekend all.

    We're not slow getting started. We just want to confirm and double check our options before we do.

    Just turned 56, but I didn't have my twins until I was 45.

    Been a cheap SOB all my life. As I get closer to retirement, I find myself spending more money - truck, Vizlsa pup, etc. Just got back from a road trip to Colorado with my boys in August. Got a lot of use out of my truck - taking us to trail heads that were otherwise inaccessible unless we hitchhiked.

    Being 56 ain't old. I just have more money that the young guys :)

    Pets sure do heave their own personalities. Even cats do as well. ;)

    Sorry for your loss Capt. Amazing the way pets bond with members of a family. There always seems to be a preferred member, but anyone will do when it is feeding time. :)

    Welcome:wave:...age is what you make it. I know some 60 year olds that look and act like they're 90. Love the Grand kids. hated being a Dad but love being a Grand dad. Just got back from 2 weeks of scuba diving with the grand daughter(just got certified before we left) did great and totally enjoyed it...

    Welcome to the thread:wave:. Great pics. Life is good when you can do things with the family.. money helps but quality time is worth more. Welcome

    Hey Cap when were you at the Great lakes?? Small as the world is maybe we were there together. I was there in Sept. and Oct. of '67, Company 371:D

    Welcome Vann.. plenty of room on the patio for a few more chairs. Beers running low but no problem we can always send one of the youngsters that drop in from time to time to harass us out for more:rofl:

    Hi Sue, they do have their own personalities.. but you know the love they have for you is 100% true. Have a good day all.
