    That's a good idea. I'll have to brainstorm something. Or even something could be stored behind the mounts, like a long pole of sorts.

    yeah, I still like Randy's design though. Gives more room to work with. I'd bring it a little closer to the bedside, IMO, but not by much.

    That was my original goal but getting the angle right was difficult. I later realized that was a benefit because now I have room to totally remove the topper if I want.

    I told my landlords as well because I wasn't sure if they received the letter, and they were on my side. So that's good at least. I'm not paying to get my lawn mowed more than once a week, and goddammit I'm not going to mow it myself either just to make some HOA fucks happy.

    I can't imagine being the landlord of an HOA property. Imagine you have a shitty tenant and have to deal with an HOA on top of that? Pshh. No thanks.

    If I ever have a rental property, I'm paying a company to manage it. I don't want to deal with the headaches of being a landlord. For every good tenant, there are 99 shitty ones.

    When I moved to WV, I rented my house in Richmond to an old guy for like 4 years? Best tenant in the world, and still not fuckin' worth it. Sure, let me just take 2 days vacation and drive 5 hours, one way, to replace a well pump.

    As I read this back to myself, I can see that I have a problem letting other people do things. That was a real example I gave. I 100% should have called a plumber to replace the well pump. But I didn't. :facepalm:

    I wasn't going to say anything but you're 100% right. Between your time, gas and vacation days you probably didn't save much.

    Damn Randall! That shit's long enough to pass as ornamental grass! On the other hand, I wish my lawn looked like that. :frusty:

    Possibly a dumb question, but are those loops for additional protection for that part of the vehicle or another recovery point?

    Both. There's been a couple times where I'll be in some tight trees and they'll act like a kick out on a slider to push me away from the tree. They could also be used to pull the ass end sideways with a winch, although I never had to do that.

    When we moved up here to the country we rented our city house out to a co-worker of mine. In the 7 years she was there I only had to replace a plug on the refrigerator when she damaged it moving it to clean behind it. She ultimately bought the house for twice what we paid. It was the perfect situation and couldn't have worked out better.
