    Man, funny how Theo gets warm baby wipes used on him

    I remember us never having those growing up so it was funny seeing the shock on my siblings faces when you'd change them using a cold AF wipe :rofl:

    Yeah I can see how it would get muggy. Hot plus leftover moisture. August in socal can be the worst.
    We had thunderstorms the last 2 days. All the tropical moisture has been lingering. I even had the fire going yesterday morning. It was 54° in the house when I got up.

    girl poops are definitely in a category of their own, I think we can agree on that (don't @ me ladies)

    Sofar Olivia's haven't been bad. But I hear that will change when she starts eating solids.

    Can't argue with that. My parents go out for about two weeks to see friends every January and it's usually really nice then. They vowed a while ago to never go back at other times of the year.

    The mountains right there outside Palm Springs usually get pretty good snow in the middle of winter, we took that gondola tram up there once or twice to escape the heat when visiting my mom.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    They're all EPA rated the exact same. The electronic throttle body was 03-04 only and it was implemented for the VSC system and to reduce legacy parts in the production of the A340.

    Ah nice. I'd been looking at some wagons, including E91 with the n52.

    Yeah in winter it seems nice. They've sent photos where you can see the snow. How was the gondola? I'll have to let em know about it if its worth it.

    It's pretty cool, once you get to the top there's a lodge with good food and views, places to explore. Tons of hiking trails up there, a lot of people ride it up to hike then ride it back down.

    Excited to cut myself out some gooseneck dies

    Think I'll make a set of 4 out of 1/4" and weld them up as a test set first

    To me, their efficiency is more than acceptable. Even a 4 cylinder Camry of the era was only rated for 25 mpg. I think Toyota was really prioritizing durability over efficiency in those years.

    It’s not that far fetched. Some of the railroad bridges that have a house out in the middle for the operator have Incinilets. Poop -> Ash conversion was never so easy.

    You're preaching to the choir; how do you think we got rid of our shit at FOBs?

    Throwing in old radio batteries was fun too.
