    Fucker. Don't make me watermark my pics.

    I too have a sweet external speaker now, but really it is just a heavy ass paper weight at this point.

    Are you one of those photographers now? Don't worry, I'll make sure to use those pictures all over the interwebz without your consent and not give you any credit. :brianr:

    Also, Leo gave me his ARB compressor switch. So now I have this really cool carling switch, that isn't wired the same as all my other ones, and is much too small to effectively use as a paperweight.

    The ones I'm used to have 5 prongs. Two are for the independent light, with the remaining three being power, ground, and to the relay.

    The one you gave me has 4 prongs. According to OTRATTW that's two for the independent light, and the other two are power in and out. Guessing I could make it work, but when I'm going to jump all the wires to the switch next to it, might as well be identical.

    Hmm, I didn't really look at them when I put the ARB one in my truck, as it had its own harness and I didn't reuse any of my wiring, so IDK.

    BTW, did you see the Hole in the Rock talk? That would be a cool pre-RT trip as well.

    Maybe we're in need of an earlier Utah trip? There's certainly some areas like Hole in the Rock and Grand Staircase in southern Utah I've been itching to explore.

    I've had the Maze on my mind, and we've got to be on top of those permits by the end if next month if that's what we want.

    So, a few things, we just got a puppy, so Canyonlands might not work, will have to see if Cat is going to come for the whole time or not, TBD.

    Also, I was thinking of a trip out that way after xmas, weather dependent. In?

    Possibly. Depends on how long after Christmas. Have to figure out what's going on with me graduating and if I decide to admit I'm an adult.

    Haha, well my parents are going to be here until the 28th, so leaving the 29th at the earliest, I have to work the next Monday, so sometime in that period.

    What do you mean "figure out", like you might not!?!

    No, that was worded poorly. I'm graduating next week. Just saying I'm not entirely sure what's going on immediately after that....
