    Pat had to go remind me, I don't have a winch.
    Run and gun, like a tractor pull.

    Edit: I remember mentioning something to him about not having a winch, at Tigerton.
    I only said, running without one, the main objective is don't get stuck.

    I have one of those in the truck. Someday I’ll actually install the real winch.

    You could always store your winch on my truck until you get around to installing it.
    You don't need that cluttering up the workplace.

    Arbuckle's Ethiopian Yirgachaffe is also good.
    I think Ariosa Dark is the winner so far.

    Electrical gurus: If I want to add a high current accessory, but the switched set up is already maxed so I cannot add it to that group, can I run a relay and use a power out from the switched set up to the switch side of the relay to have the new high current accessory come on with the others but have its own power source? Seems like this should work fine but I have no idea what best practice is...

    Are you referring to this minor mishap?
    The main objective was to not get stuck.
    There were forces beyond my control. The earth opened up and almost swallowed me whole.

    I'm laughing at the bad financial advice element more than ever. The recent Tacoma purchase is 2000 mi behind and razing and rebuilding our cabin starting. I expect the all of it to be a good or poor financial decision more than any middle ground. In theory both a Tacoma and lake lot retain value.

    My other smile is I spent S. WI to N. WI in the back seat of the '24 Tacoma on Friday and someone will have to again today. It's more like an economy airline flight or regional jet than the wonderfully comfy Sienna SE with premium interior and out Outbacks now the kids. I warned my ski trip pals going to the UP will mean one of us will have it like an economy flight.

    When I was looking I took the kids to the dealer and rode them around in a third Gen. I then bought a Second Gen (Best Gen) They got duped!
