60+ year old thread.

We have to behave now. The Mod's found the thread.

 

I hope he brought some beer for the cooler... it's getting low ...

Hey Chris, welcome to the thread.

 

I think he left a bottle of some new fangled concoction called Jägermeister.

A few pics for Susan.





I cannot budge the tree at all. Raining this morning so we shall see what happens this afternoon.

 

If I can dig up a couple of tree stumps, then you and your son shouldn't have a problem

 

It is not a problem. Did a lot of work leading up to this yesterday and just got wore out around 06:00.

On a positive side all the branches are cut, bagged and ready for yard waste recycle on Wednesday.

I do agree with your assessment though.

 

where you working now?

 

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I am getting great ideas and advise from this forum. By the way, I love Arizona. Here is a sunset from last year when I was spending time in the 'Nations. I call this 'Hopi Sunset'.

 

Hey Chris! Great to hear from you! See you're wearing a moderator's badge these days! Gotta admit they picked the right guy for the job!!

Been much too long since I spent any time here. Got sidetracked after Deon died and spent a couple of years 'wandering in the wilderness' trying to get my bearings once again. Seemed as if my internal GPS went on the fritz for a time. Don't recommend losing a well loved life mate to anyone. It's a tough row to hoe, and takes a while to finally work through it.

Then, damned if I could remember them, my old user name and password completely escaped me when I stepped back in the door here at TW a few days ago. So I figured it was best to start over, completely fresh, and take it from there -- like I've done with most everything else!

 

That stinks. Hope the two recover.

Beautiful!!

 

Hey Steve, that's a great looking and quite typical sunset for Arizona! Have to take a look at your site and see what other awesome images you've captured!

 

Morning all:
Beautiful pic.! That's why I've always enjoyed the outdoors.

 

Kinda like starting fresh truth be told Chris. Who I used to be is not who I am today in many ways, so even though Bob could pull my old TW name out of his hat it's best this way.

Getting a meet up together here in the East Valley would be a lot of fun!

Sorry to hear you lost a man on the job and had two others injured. Life isn't fair, nor is it forgiving. Hope the injured pair fully recover..

Think I'll put my 2012 Yamaha XT250 dual sport bike up for sale. Pushed my luck for a lot of years, not always successfully. But I really feel I shouldn't push it as hard as I have any longer. Still feel great, and want to keep it this way as long as possible, which I won't do if I continue taking risks!

 

Hello guys. I am well in your club age. Getting ready to retire in the next 6 to 9 months. In my job I am given two demos. I always take 4 dr 2 or 4 wd (never use 4X4) Tacos unless out and only then drive Tundra (just too big for me). Never drove a 4cly for demo ( never had over 2 at any one time on lot). Was thinking going old mans 4 dr for buying but so used to the 6, and as heavy footed driver as I am not sure would get any better mpg. Any input would be good on 4/6. In a TRD black 4dr now. Got to say I signed up on this forum a few months ago and really enjoy it.

 

Hey Tom, being armored up while riding is just plain smart! It might not 'look cool' to non-riders or the uninitiated, but to those of us who've been down hard, often more than once, especially on rocky hard scrabble trails, there's no substitute for ATGATT, or at least enough of the gear to get the job done!!!

 

Welcome to the group Mickey from another newcomer! Stick with the V6, and ease off the gas pedal a bit for improved MPG. If the black TRD four door you're in now happens to be the one you want, ..go for it! You won't be disappointed if the truck's a really good one!
