    Ken, Don't let him fool you, Stitch has got a mischievous side, not unlike his namesake. I still refuse to leave my keys in him, he locks his doors at random...still haven't completely broke the code on how that feature is programmed.:oops:

    And he'll throw rocks too, Danny's Dory (Jeep) has got the cracked windshield to prove it. :laugh:

    ... jeez is it time to go home yet...no, 2+48 to go yet. :pccoffee: :bored:

    Good Morning Folks. Coffee time and relax. Hope everyone has a great day.
    Shield looks great Rob. Putting it up near the cabin? Enjoy your weekend on the mountain. Always nice to get away :D.

    Glad Duffy is going to be okay Mark. Hope the eye appointment goes good as well :fingerscrossed:.

    That is quite an amazing group of cars Mike. I never got into racing as I found it boring to watch, but being involved with them like you are would be a difference for me. Takes a lot of TLC to keep them in top form, and you do it. Have a good day and be safe.

    I figured as much :) but I thought it best to err on the side of caution. Don't want to get hit with the hammer again...LOL. :cheers:

    Stitch is like most youngsters, trouble is their middle name:annoyed:. Deb's Kia isn't supposed to lock if the key FOB is in the car...fooled the shit outta me when I had to get her key to open the car so I could get my FOB. Nice thing about my new one is I can lock/unlock from my cell phone. Technology is good when it works, it really is a problem :annoyed: to diagnose and repair sometimes. As I'm sure @Tacoma Mike can attest to. I still have a learning curve on what all I have in mine. Of which I was trying to think of a name for my Tacoma. Nothing yet though. I know on the 50 thread Ketchup on a hot dog would go over big :D. I'll come up with something.
    Going to an indoor range today to play with my new toy. Sig 365XL. Nice for CCW.
    Have a great day Rob.

    Very nice!! I might want to trade in my 09 but with only 164K on the clock I do not think so. These trucks just keep on running.

    Beautiful. You need to figure out your retirement and just do it. Your spare time is already taken up with these beauties and fishing.

    It's nice to hear about the history behind things. Great story. Find a great spot for it to be home. I have lost a lot of my history from my service days as my favorite duty station was closed and is now a Costco, light industry and offices, a local park, and a senior living center complex. The Forrestal where I was for 10 months is now cut up and scrapped:facepalm: and memories are all I have of those days.
    Have a great day and enjoy Rob. Time for another cup of coffee.

    I would have kept my 2nd Gen if I didn't want a double cab for when the grandkids visit.

    Have a great day Sir. :)

    Morning Tom, I was on the fence over buying a new Tacoma or not as the '07 only had 96000 miles on it but the left knee is giving me troubles and will probably need a replacement so I sold it and have an automatic (not my favorite trans,) so I don't have to worry about the knee for a bit. And yes if properly maintained they do keep on running...like an old Timex watch :D:thumbsup:

    Good morning all,

    Wow what a flurry yesterday, took a little while to catch up. Col, I hope Duffy is feeling better today. Mike - thanks for sharing car pics - awesome even though you have shared them a while back it still is awesome to see them,

    Got a few inches of the white stuff on the ground, gauge says we got over 4" but the ground was so warm looks like only 2" stuck - rain in the forecast later with high winds. The storm is still in Nevada so we are in for a few more days of fun..

    Indoor projects getting done.

    Have a great day everyone - stay safe

    Well, got my 2nd MODERNA shot this morning. No big deal. When I got home I started doing fish-flops on the kitchen floor. Think I should be concerned?

    I’d only be concerned if you grew scales and gills then you need to see an ichthyologist immediately. :)

    Wow, Ken, were you stationed on the Forrestal at the time of the fire?
    That was truly a tragic accident.
