Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Nice! We are working with Jolma Electric. They said it wouldn't be up until next year unless I built the array. Saved 4k and its waiting on them now. Was promised service in August... so I can get some production in. Excell Energy charges 12 per, pays 3 per and roll you over in January when there is little production. Oh well, doing something good and eventually making a difference in our bill!

 

Sliders paid for themselves yesterday!

 

@BookieBob new beer trailer?

Super late to the tool discussion but I third the Tektons. No skipped sizes and pretty good price for a full set. I have most of it in one of these Step22 tool rolls/bag for now. There's a thread on here with the most commonly used sizes. Went off of that when filling her up. Had all the sockets loose and learned the hard way to buy the Tekton tool rails for the smaller ones.Cut those down to size. Still have room for torx drivers,pry bars,etc. Altogether pretty pricey but I think it's a good lifetime investment.

 

Just remember when you're out on the trail.... Half the aftermarket armor uses SAE, Jeeps use a fuckton of torx heads, and Chevy's use zip ties.

 

I have a set I made. Not a fan, so went with the OEM upgraded harness and high output wattage bulbs. If interested, let me know!

 

I put together a couple of the Milwaukee pack-out roll arounds, they are pretty handy. You can configure them to your needs.

 

Missed the camping trip this weekend. All the pictures were amazing!

I wanted to track down @CygnusX191 over the weekend but was busy touring St. Louis area chucking 16 lb bowling balls. Maybe some beer drinking at the same time.
If you are ever in St. Louis area Saratoga Bowling is a great place. The bowling alley is on the second floor that’s been running since 1916.

It’s also grandfathered in so you can smoke cigars when bowling.


Old school hand score keeping.

 

Some of those old bowling lanes are neat places. It's a shame they're slowly disappearing.

 

Should have hit me up I had some plans fall through over the weekend and ended up sitting for half the time lol

True but the underground bowling community in St Louis is actually massive It's kind of weird but really cool at the same time. They're also reopening some of the roller derby rinks

 

Some are just incredible. Saratoga is on the 2nd floor. We (my buddy and I), each had a 3 ball bag we had to hike up the never ending staircase. All 3 of my bowling balls are just a little over 15.5-15.75lbs.
I definitely wouldn’t want to be drunk leaving here carrying the bag down the stairs.




I’m old so massive bowling centers were a thing in the ‘80s. Some of the Giant Neon signs we saw were awesome. Usually those all end up in a landfill, crushed or sold in auction.



Tropicana is the largest in Missouri with 52 lanes. The place has 26 lanes on each side of the bowling counter.

Crestwood Bowl has the vintage look.


A few of the standard old plastic double side ones.





Crazy how bowling is making a comeback. Our local place is always packed!

 

Definitely next time. I was going to pm you to meet up at Waffle House for breakfast! I frickin should have!

 

Oh man that would have made my day!

As for some of those places you mentioned, you got like 1/20th of the lanes here... Lol.

Crestwood is crazy busy.

There's a place up north called Kingpin lanes.... They have an inflated annex with sand volleyball. Place is again, always packed. And the pizza joint attached to it is slayer
