epic launch! where is that?

 

Magna

 

Yea, its been since Sept since I last took the truck out. I have been busy with work and my basement remodel. I have a 5 mile radius that I drive the truck in.. lol. My normal driving is mainly to the big box stores for the misc items for the basement. Luckily my project is almost done .

The trail is rated as a moderate from Fun trex. Sketchy part is the middle portion of the trail with cliffs on either end. Nothing too hard. I tend to only do moderate trails when its just the wife, dogs and I.

 

Normally if we want a hotel, we stay at Red Stone Inn. The winter rates are usually $50/ night. We tried booking last week and rates were over $100. Moab is becoming commercialized. I picked up a real-estate magazine when I was last in town. You can't find any homes for under $400K..That price is for a complete dump BTW.

I thought it would be fun to have property in Moab, but looks like that time has passed... Even Land prices are super pricy.

 

Edited.

 

Trying some local bottled bourbon.

 

anything is amazing after a good TWE rip. I made some halfway decent pasta after one and it was the most heavensent thing ever.

LOL. wow. That's a really good launch! Was your kicker there?

 

Any good. The only "local". bourbon I've had luck with is High West. That Sugarhouse Bourbon is sooooo bad.

 

That comment is only several years too late.

Also. I didn't dare buy anything in town. Didn't want it and can't afford it. Got a good place affordable and away from the madness.

 

high west is pretty good stuff. I'm also curious about that devil's gate. :thinking_face:

 

Yeah, it’s good. I’m no good at explaining what I’m tasting, a little sweet but good. A bit like ECSB, just sweeter tasting.

 

Just watched Greyhound on Apple TV. When I think of America, this exemplifies it. The remainder of my thoughts I’ll keep to myself.

 

Need help bad... was replacing my spark plugs.. one was stuck bad so I brought out the breaker bar todislodge it. Accidentally snapped the vent hose nipple off... can anyone offer some guidance as to what my next step(s) are.

 

Ouch.
As an emergency fix the first thing that comes to mind is a metal valve stem with the valve removed.
Depending on the hole size of course.

 

Okay, yeah... I think I'm familiar with that area. Get off on temple Mountain road (exit 142[?] I think) and head west. Dutchman's arch and some nice petroglyphs along the base of the rocks north of 70.
One of my all time favorites just south of there.

 

ouch... that sucks dude. uh....epoxy the shit out of the plastic maybe? but it won't ever be the same...I like the previously mentioned idea of a valve with the core removed.

 

Pretty sure that nipple has a larger ID than a valve stem, but might work as a "trail fix"

 

I don’t remember what exit it is off I-70. I usually come the back way through Price. I think it’s the Green River Cutoff. I just go off memory.
