3Pooches version 3.5

Four quarts to a gallon. It's the only conversion I know.

The oil jugs are five quarts.

 

That’s what it is

 

That looks exciting. Whatcha building?

 

Not 100 yet, but leaning towards a high mounted flat bed

 

Ooooooo, this is fun!

 

Now we’re talking!

I’m balls deep in the suspension swap for the Land Cruiser.

 

That should lift it a bit!

 

Well, I got some fun news today. Went to the doctor for what I suspected was a bone spur on the Achilles tendon. I was wrong. There are two. Worst case scenario will be surgery, cutting the tendon, remove the spurs, and reattach the tendon. 6 month recovery process. Anti inflammatory meds for now and PT if needed. Then surgery if that doesn't work. Happy happy joy joy.

 

Tell them to leave them in and take up horseback riding.

 

Sorry to hear that buddy

 

Is there a possible scenario that doesn’t involve removing the tendon?

 

Not doing the surgery. One is on the inside of the heel and one is on the back. I actually had the right one done about 20 years ago and that did not involve cutting or removing the tendon. Six week recovery. I would prefer that, but these are not in a location that would allow that.

 

Everyone have good holidays?

 

I hope you did

 

Can't complain too much. Got a wheeling trip in, dinner with friends, found a good burger joint, and got holiday pay. I'll take it.


You?

 

It was quiet. Which is what I like. Forced myself to do some wrenching.

 

Man, I would've gone! I still haven't washed the Runner from Flag Pole.

 

It was very last minute. Someone I met at Toyota's and Coffee in MD, Angela. She was complaining that the guys she has wheeled with typically find a 2WD fire road to camp on and won't actually go find a trail. And because she's a girl, some guys don't think she can drive. So we went on Friday after every thing got rained on. Almost had to follow a Bronco, but the drivers daughter didn't like the "bouncy road" so the bailed.

We were talking about going this coming weekend, but with the stuff I have to do and the possible snow / ice coming in, probably not the best of ideas. Weekend of the 13-14th might work, if we're not in TN and my compressor arrives on time. My HF compressor died a noble death. Not really, but it was three years old and did a couple dozen trails. I spent a little more this time. Don't tell.

With the water restrictions up here, my truck will be dirty for a while. Which is ok, it looks good!

 

Well if you head out and want company, you know where I be.
