    The undies got dry alright. The idler pulley was making a noise louder than the Dakars on my Tacoma.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    I don't think its a full quart weekly... maybe half? I actually have a 5quart jug of 5w30 high mileage in the car right now. I just check it on every fill up (4.5 days). If the car wasn't $1K, I would actually get it looked at. But I need 20 weeks to break even in gas savings, then I can start looking into it more.

    Or some Lucas oil additive. My old Subaru would burn about a quart or so between oil changes. The Lucas oil slowed it down a little.

    Went to bowman lake and Faucherie Lake. Aired down to 14 psi and still. Pretty bumpy.

    running bilstien 6112/5160 with 265 falkens…

    Now I want to go camping there. Dogs love that place.

    I did. There were a couple. But no bathrooms at those sports. So have to do it old school. Lol

    there are some spots with bathrooms, but not as secluded. I want to go this weekend but…..afraid it’s going to get a little packed

    pictures are of one campground that I really liked. Right next to the creek so our golden can stay in the water all day

    Update, apparently Paul pulled the ripcord and sold the business. Going to give the new owner a shot since I need to smog the wife's car. Sucks about Paul - tough finding decent/fair/trustworthy shops who still believe in word of mouth advertising.
