    That is tempting. Would depend on how much garage space I can use for projects... only when needed. :sawzall::welder:

    Oof...I've been looking at properties in AZ and OR. Seeing just how large lots are in those states for the price compared to CA is amazing.

    Got a new camera today for work! Decided to take a few shots. I'll keep adding as I edit them - I'm purposely pushing the files hard so I can see how I have to adjust my shooting to work with the camera, how much information is retained in the RAW pictures, etc.

    These shots are after sunset so it was pretty dark.

    Edit: Damn, TW KILLS the quality. These are pin-point sharp 30MP images /:

    Sick, looks about like mine when I clean it, but you have double the miles on yours so that's really good! That intake looks nice and streamline, does it curve back in the fender to get to the snorkel?

    Yes! It’s intake tubing thats bendy and flexible. I tried using a 45° bend elbow but it wasn’t lining up, so this was my next best option and I’m super happy with it!

    Oh, and I found this legit little bike park thing next to my favorite trail network. Not too big, but a few features you could boost to the moon.

    Not bad looks like a chill spot to session that’s for sure.

    Been toying around with the idea of removing most of my armor and just going back to stock, and putting the money towards the house I'm looking at. Keeping just suspension related goodies and downsizing tires, since I swear I've only worked out these 35's a handful of times.

    But then I'm like...nahhhh.

    Schools tough this semester - 18.5 units, 7 classes. Picked up a few more gigs for photography, and still have 2 jobs. Full plate but life is good!

    Also got a new camera and lens! Woop woop!

    Ugh. 18.5 credits is a rough go, esp with some side hustles. I was a full plate at 16-17 and no side jobs.

    Yeah I’m struggling a little bit. Last semester was 22.5 between two schools, and that freaking sucked.

    This is what I get for slacking off a year though. Been tempted to just go into a trade school instead.
