Northern Virginia Roll Call

Gotta get that money

 

I passed both of them doing a speed that starts with a 5, but they didn't pull me over so I guess I've got that going for me.

 

Hmm

 

Anyone interested in a Tuffy locking box that replaces the big cubby in the bed? I was going to try and sell it until I saw the rust on it. I ground most of it off then rattle canned it with the worst nozzle. Paint drips and the paint isn't a match. Functionally it's fine. I have both keys. First come first served. I said free, right?

 

That’s pretty cool. I would take it but I dunno wtf I would store in there, so I’ll let someone else snag it who has a purpose.

 

Is it just the cover or the whole box? If it's the cover I could use it...


Edit: just googled it. It's awesome but I dont think I can use it. It's very nice of you to offer it to someone.

 

Was such a piece of cake! Breaker bar on the frame rail bump start method worked like a charm the very first time. The CS pulley pulled right off by hand. And the seal practically pushes in by hand. Was much easier than I was expecting it to be...now on to my lca's, reinstall skids, and I'm done for a while!!

 

Duuuuuude I’ve been looking for one of these!

I’ll take it.

I will buy you lots of beer.

 

No beer necessary. It's yours.

Morning kids. Wedding is over. Road trip is over. Back to the real world. Guess I'll occupy my new found time on here again. Can't get any better, can it?

 

Went up to PA for an overnight trip. We were supposed to attend Steelers family day however the death of their WR coach it was canceled so we did some driving around Somerset County. I highly recommend checking out the Flight 93 memorial. The NPS really did a great job. The Tower of Voices is a work in progress but is still an amazing site to see.

Time to get some camping done. I started getting ready finally this weekend

 

Walking around there last yr I had tears rolling down my cheeks and then listening to the recordings makes you a very very humble individual in so many ways!

 

It is a true shame to me that it seems so many have become so complacent about this tragedy and seem to have forgotten that tragic day

 

last year was the first year people enlisting in the army and deploying hadn't been alive during 9/11.

 

Wow, I know I’m older but it really doesn’t seem that long ago. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when it happenned

 

Off grid hold down finally came in, got the new battery in yesterday, followed by a quick bike ride, finally getting to enjoy my summer break. ( the week I have to report back)

 

Im looking at doing similar, the wife wants to get a pop up camper, but I kinda like the tear drop.
