Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I own a bicycle shop where I service fleets-mostly camps up here in the northwoods. I owned a shop for years in Olympia Washington, and when we moved here and the girls started going to camp I saw a way to help the camps out (not transporting 20+ bikes to and from a shop and waiting for them) by coming on site and doing the service. I am kind of the only person doing this and I currently have about ten camps that I do every year. Keeps me busy and pays for my girls to go to camp. Keep all my tools and parts in out camper trailer. This is a picture from Kamp Kawaga this year:



Edit: yes the canopy is trashed-my every four year or so expenditure...

 

yep. I plan on just leaving it to melt later this week. I've been out a couple times.. its fn cold

 

I have a 2 ft drift at the end of the driveway. I figure I have a 4R and will blast through if need be. I thought about plowing but the wind has moved the drift 10 ft east in 4 hrs. Hopefully the wind will keep on keepin' on. Half of the driveway is clear now.

Yep.

 

@Pixeltim the calendar is fantastic!

 

Anyone need a 4.7 tundra for $11k?

I was just sending this to @mcharfauros

 

This weather blows!

It's actually pretty cool watching the snow blow across the road in some areas. It almost looks like a stream or river of white dust. It was sketchy in a few spots north of Madison on 51 where visibility was severely reduced. It was like driving through fog.

Perfect weather for my son's driveshaft (u-joint) to call it quits.

 

That sucks! Crap always happen in bad weather.

 

Yup.

The good news is that it's a total of 10 bolts, and looks super simple. The bad news is that everything is rusty, and I have to do it in the cold.

And, it looks like it's going to show up next Thursday, which is after I planned on leaving to go to Florida. Not really a big deal, but I was hoping to be down there before New Year's Eve, so I can go to a party on the island or something.

 

Soak it in Inforce or PB blaster and leave it.

And I mean SOAK. use the whole can. Use three whole cans.

 

That's the plan. PB blaster and maybe a torch, and PB blaster, and a torch, and PB blaster, and a torch.

 

Calendars are here, just ordered on Wednesday.

 

Postie-claus delivered mine today also.

 

Hey all you adopted Tacoma family members: Merry Christmas! Hope you are all safe and have a wonderful holiday. Can't wait for our coming adventures in 2023!

 

Merry Christmas all!

 

Merry Christmas, everyone!

As I said to my family earlier, I feel lucky and happy to be a part of this group! It's amazing how a single common interest seems to have drawn in so many truly awesome people!

Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys!
