    Ummm...I see mostly yellow. Must be color blindness setting in. Side affect of owning an Inferno...every other color looks dull.:crapstorm:

    Nah, it’s Mostly Ryobi green with a dash of Festool green!
    Apparently the sunlight was too much for the camera to handle.

    It's been a helluva week...

    -Dad's in the hospital. He's dealing with some heart issues, including, but not limited to A-FIB. :(

    -the boy had car trouble today... In Indiana. o_O
    We got him, and his vehicle home safely. But, not exactly how I envisioned my Saturday evening playing out.

    *Silver lining: AAA towed him to a Mom and Pop repair place, where they were extremely helpful. In spite of closing at 6, they allowed my boy, and his friend, to hang out until we arrived (at ~9pm). They helped us load up, and refused to accept any compensation for their generosity. If anyone finds themselves needing auto repair near Hammond, Indiana, F&C Auto repair is highly recommended by this guy. :)


    -we finally get home, and winding down, aaaannd, the power goes out. Supposed to be back on by 4:30am, but they don't even know what happened yet. :rolleyes:

    Picture from the ride home this evening.

    Hoping they are able to get your dad sorted out and he gets better. Thankfully on the A-fib side they can usually treat that with medication. Also glad you we able to get the car back with minimal trouble even if it did ruin your night

    Hoping all goes well with your dad. That is a fantastic story on the shop-they deserve a Triple thumbs up!

    How does the 4Runner do towing that much weight? New life/work possibilities on the even horizon that will require long distance towing. The Tacoma is a wimp so wondering about the 4Runner since it got such a resounding approval on our Maine trip. Could just get a Tundra, but...

    Saw The adolescents, circle Jerks, and decedents last night. All 3 bands rocked harder than some more popular acts I’ve seen recently. IMG_0849.jpg IMG_0865.jpg

    I'm trying to convince my wife to get a 4Runner after the Rav4 expires. She likes how they look and everything. She has this crazy notion in her head that I want one just to lift it and bigger tires and all the other goodies.

    4Runner is gonna tow about the same as the taco. In some ways worse cuz of the shorter wheelbase

    tundra is pretty awesome.. plus has a huge fuel tank

    you could also get a sequoia which is just an suv tundra

    If anyone watches Trent Palmer on the YouTube’s, those are called Bob the builder tools.
