Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

well the blower still worked, the bearing went out and made a racket lol

 

I also had the control module quit working at one point too. Only got fan speed of low or high, nothing in between

aside from that I don’t think I ever had another issue with that truck

 

Made a racket and eventually quit working. There's a recall on the blower motor.

 

Same with mine. Today was chilliest morning in awhile too, bad day to not have the defrost/defogger fan not working.

 

And the sun is shining. No work until Tuesday. Going to Minneapolis again tomorrow. Get to meet my grandson. He was born yesterday morning.

 

Only one thing better than being a father is being a grandfather. Congrats!

 

Thank you.
My brothers are telling me that now I'm old, but my wife is still young.

 

Ha... rookie

We have 2. 3rd is on his way in February. So much easier. You just hand the kid back to the parents and say “diaper change!”

Congrats buddy

 

Thanks

 

How about the 25th or 26th? I have nothing against a Chevy. Just glad I don't own one!

 

I'm at the Lienie Lodge with my Mom and her Boyfriend, hiding from the rain. Cheers, everyone!

Nice. I’ll look into that and the potosi meet up. If any of you 4Runner pro guys decide to move on from your pro wheels, or know where a guy can get then, I’m looking for a set . I may still be stock, but for sure gotta change my wheels.

 

You can get 4Runner Pro wheels at your local Toyota dealership or just about anywhere online.

Met up with my boi @NGIMINO to talk about wiring today. He's got his wiring clean and tight.

 

Been gone for the weekend busy with ski patrol. Thanks for the link, I wish first responders and military were separate on that contest. I'm a volunteer(I'd get paid if I could) but put in more hours running EMS and ski patrol then I do at paid work by over 2x. I see them as very different things and appreciate our military and vets. Having us both together is something I'd have to consider before entering.

Bob that's a really cool story, I've been lucky personally and haven't had to be rescued before. EMS I haven't done much since I'm newer, however with ski patrol I have done a lot more. I also watched my friend take a fall outside climbing which was 55'. She didn't tie in properly and no one noticed. She broke everything pretty much literally. Remote area for the Midwest with no cell service and a shitty evac site, we got a helicopter in just over an hour after the accident and she was taken to a different state. Couple days in the ICU and a few surgeries later, no permeant damage somehow. The doctors couldn't believe it. 2 unclean upper thoracic fractures, 3 ribs, collapsed lung, hemothorax which lead to a chest tube, pelvis, wrist, kidneys. Was just the basic major stuff. But hey that's why we sign up to be first responders, to hopefully on someone's worst day be there and be able to help them out.

 

This looks fun. I've been on some of these along the LWR but there's others I need to check out. Right now with high water everywhere would be a bad time to go.

Looks cool! I'll have to check that out!

 

Next trip? To there maybe

First turkey today! Got it with my grandma's old browning which is now my mom's. And since my rescue dog is afraid of loud noises and big stick looking things.. So I had a different retriever.

 

I may try to get out there this weekend. Weather doesn't look good for much else. Colors should be good, there's no Packer game on Sunday and maybe I can do a little trout fishing before the season closes. We'll see. I have some truck stuff coming too so should try to get that all put together while The Girl is gone (the whole asking for forgiveness thing rather than permission lol).

 

Officially have everything moved over to Wisconsin! Now to do the 90k maintenance before we take her to Overland East on Thursday
