    Why you asking a toddler to repeat herself? She barely just learned the damn things and now you're trying to play 20 questions.

    :rofl:

    Fuck that's deep!

    Dude I need to record a video of Theo giving me attitude; you're like bro he's only 4 months old.

    You haven't seen fierce determination until he sees a bottle and he lunges full force trying to grab it out your hands while yelling out like Tarzan :bananadead:

    ALL FROM A 4 MONTH OLD

    the one that really backfired was talking to her about how she has options and the ability to say no when/if someone asks her to do something she doesn't want to do. Pertaining to people other than us, teachers, etc of course, understanding the difference between things you need to do vs things you don't necessarily. But toddlers don't understand nuance very well.

    she LOVES to use that one when it's time to get ready for bed or clean up her messes, etc

    Bought a very thorough looking press kit. Gonna hopefully knock out all the land cruiser bushings.

    Oh @CS_AR I forgot to mention this...only remembered now as I was looking through my pics from Saturday

    20230812_135900.jpg

    My uncle's 1972 Plymouth Road Runner sitting by the side of his house; has the bigger 400 or 426 Hemi in it.

    Used to sit in his front driveway but he got sick and tired of the many people offering to buy it over the last few decades. Turning down $20k at a time even.

    He's the original owner and even though he won't sell it, hasn't put any time or money to restore it :bananadead:

    Just letting it rot away, shame too cause the earlier you start taking care of them again the less it costs to get em decent.

    It really is

    Went to the backyard and got introduced to 2 little chubby dogs, cause my family was throwing a BBQ for us

    Saw they got rid of the pool and stuff only to say "holy shit you can access the side of the house" :rofl:

    Went back there and boom, the RR :bananadead:

    Didn't say much cause I know he loves that thing so I just kept it with "ah so you moved it, gonna work on it soon I hope?" and that's it.

    He just became a grandpa as my cousin had her first baby who's now a month old; yeah he's going to be too busy for that :rofl:

    We plan on going again in a few weeks when Stephanie takes some baby bonding time; it's crazy just how much time she can get off just for the baby.

    Was off from March through Aug (today she started again) and will take another 6 weeks off from Oct to Nov...only to have Christmas vacation time off again shortly after.

    In short, I'll try to snag some more pics for ya.

    new shift knob finally ordered for the 4runner, OEM one looks like trash. Doubt this knockoff will last 20+ years but it'll do for now

    You can usually score the real Toyota one on eBay from middle eastern parts suppliers for ~$50. But I get it. Little things add up quick.

    To be honest I hardly looked, saw a few OEM options for over $100 then this on Amazon for $11 and free next day shipping lol. If it's trash I'll send it back, reviews are kind of hit or miss.
