Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Now I just feel used. Not even a "it'd be great to see you again". Just bring the treats lol

 

PSA

Check your tire pressure.
I checked all 3 vehicles yesterday, all low.
The wife gave me a ride to work in the Rav4. TPMS light came on. I'm thinking WTF. Then it hit me. I forgot the spare. The Rav4 has TPMS in the spare.

 

Ya Ya, it will be great to see you.
We'll bring you a Wisconsin gift basket.

 

You got anything for this cold air?

 

Flip your calendar to July and imagine how hot it's going be.

At least this cold air helps to keep the mosquitoes down.

 

Barely!

 

I'll take Mosquitoes over freezing weather any day.

 

I’ll take cold weather over mosquitos lol

 

This. Most all the trucks over in Australia are similar

As much as I hate the cold, I can't give this a 'like'.

 

Bah!

Every time I'm freezing my ass off, I wonder why the hell I haven't moved south yet. I'll even take no-see-ums over this crap.

 

Sure, Sept works. You decide the dates. I'm pretty flexible. Any month will work for me. I'd rather skip the 100º + summer temps though.
And beware of the Jeep Safari Week. I ain't dealing with that mess.

For the record, a buddy and I are heading to Colorado and Utah Sept/Oct of 2024 if any body wants to join us. I really want to do Black Bear Pass.

 

I'm on a short plan to retire to someplace much warmer. Sadly, they don't have (new) Tacomas where I'm going, but I'm keeping an eye out for a used Hilux.

 

How short?

I've been starting to work towards being in Florida in ~10 years. But, I need to make a lot of stuff happen in that time, which might include a smaller budget for truck goodies.

 

I’d rather it not be -30 all the time but 30-50 when the mosquitos are mia is pretty great

 

I wish I could retire in 10 years lol

 

Come on down. 72 right now.

 

Best estimate is about 3 years. I retire in less than two, but my wife has three or so. Financially speaking, I'm probably done upgrading our trucks, but not done doing off-road and camping trips.

 

Oh? Where are you headed?

 

I do enjoy spring and fall camping trips for that reason. But, warm weather is nice for fishing and kayaking, and river shenanigans.

Oh, I'll probably never be able to retire. I'm just hoping to be in a good enough financial position to make the move. Plus, there's still a lot to see in Wisconsin, which will be easier while I still live here.

Nice! I'll be there in March. Any TW meet ups going on down there?

That's awesome! I hope to see you guys on some camping trips in the meantime.
