Get your shipping notice yet?

 

Yeeeup...order all them parts now because eventually the mod money becomes 'this should really probably go into my kid's educational fund' money

Not to mention the steady stream of constantly ordering diapers, wipes, cream, baby food, toys, accessories, shoes and clothes because they outgrow everything every 2 months

 

hold on to all those hand me downs for savings on #2

 

I'm convinced there has to be a floating continent somewhere in the Pacific that is made up entirely of dirty diapers

 

oh god don't even go there

 

Fortunately, no educational fund needed (unless they go to school out of state...)

But yeah diapers, misc. items....

Fortunately her family is crazy supportive with one another as her dad is planning to retire and would love to be our baby sitter

Mom is already retired.

 

So no trail rig?

 

yeah that's a big reason for us wanting to be within an hour of her parents or mine, babysitters are fucking expensive

We finally found this girl we like (who am I kidding, my wife found her) for a reasonable rate, $25/hour. But that shit adds up QUICK. Just 6 hours a week and suddenly you've got a new $600 monthly bill on your plate lol.

definitely use family as babysitters

 

Nope, nothing yet.

 

I don't even want to think about the cost, much less finding a suitable person to take care of my kid(s).

God forbid they grow up and end up like any of us in the LT

Some of you are GTG lol

 

yeah I sat in on a few of the phone interviews my wife had with potential babysitters, and it's kind of hilarious how bad some people are at making themselves seem like a good candidate to take care of your child. My wife asked one lady 'how do you deal with a fussy baby that can't be consoled?" and she literally said "I don't know, I'd have to think about it"

really? You're interviewing for a babysitting position and that's your answer? yeesh

 

@eon_blue do you have a clue whereabouts you guys will actually move?

 

I'll take a 3 day weekend and drive the sierras with ya. I'll make it down there Friday night wheel Saturday and drive back sunday

 

he's gonna turn the tacoma into a walkthrough cab with bench seat in the bed

 

What city are you in?

I'm hoping with the job change, I'll find something that gives me more time off.

 

Sell the supercharger for 'better gas mileage' too

 

Most likely near her family, Grass Valley area or closer to Tahoe. GV is within an hour Tahoe to the east, I wouldn't want to be further west than GV though because then you're in more central CA/Sacramento area which is pretty much just LA all over again.

 

That would've driven me nuts to the point where I would've lost faith and said 'fuck it, one of us is staying home'

That's awesome your wife did that for you guys; I know I wouldn't have had the patience myself.

 

I've only driven through there a few times; only remember Grass Valley cause a girl I dated end up with a guy that lives out there.

I was like 'wtf is Grass Valley'

Least it's away from the major city.

 

Kent.. so its a 15hr drive to fresno


But used to drive 5 hrs one way looking for places to sleep when I was living outta the van lol
