    :fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed: glad to hear she is improving and hopefully being home will help things continue to even out for her more steadily.

    What you've done in helping her and caring for Theo almost entirely on your own these last several weeks is nothing short of heroic, I mean that seriously. Caring for a newborn is a monumental task, especially having to do so on your own for a long stretch like this. Theo is very fortunate to have such an awesome dad :fistbump:

    Dex is so bummed, can't take him on his long nightly walk like we usually do after Sofia goes down since Rebecca is out of town. I briefly entertained the thought of walking up and down our street within the nanny cam range while holding the monitor but that's probably not the responsible thing to do lol.

    He's just laying there giving me sad eyes ugh. His natural heavy emo eyeliner look makes it so much more dramatic

    Having a forklift to place my 15hp motor on a frame vs shifting a motor across the shop after unloading the truck by hand.... i genuinely don't want to imagine carrying that weight upstairs.

    I'm lucky, the p/n I buy from Techtop is a specialty 215TC crammed in a 210 body. Our 15hp motors are only 135 each

    This one lived to see another day, lucky for him/her I spotted Dex running after it in the backyard and pulled him off

    When he kills another, just post it up as a warning to others

    I do love that Toyota designers know their demographic and there was a point in the new design process where somewhere along the line someone said something like, "Have you seen the gimmicky aftermarket shit these people put on their trucks? I have an idea, wait for it.....let's put shocks on the seats."

    I wonder what they’re gonna do with the 4Runner now. I hope it looks like a mini version of the 300 series.

    Saw that, and immediately thought...this is gonna bring a whole new wave of owner-complaints when they break their truck while off roading.

    "If I'm not supposed to go off road, why do they have these seats, etc" during their dispute after they get denied any warranty work.

    I thought you weren't supposed to use those with doggos? Something about how with dogs it can cause them a lot of paranoia or anxiety cause they can obsess over it

    With Dex's prey drive I could see that happening lol

    I feel like these trucks are gonna be extremely complex to repair when they get some age on them. I mean it's another set of shocks that need to be replaced on the seats for one thing. Also, I wonder if they'll stand up to tough wheeling, or if all the sensors will start freaking out when you go through a mud pit, like I've seen on the new Bronco. I saw a video of someone driving the new GR Corolla on a track and it literally called the police, lol.

    In this day and age, vehicles are disposable.

    That's the whole point; it breaks so you go out and buy another.

    It's been that way for decades for many companies with the worsr culprit being Apple.
