As in leaving PHX? I can't imagine Sunday will be bad going out, now tonight/ tomorrow morning gonna be a shitshow. Actually kinda surprised the 17 and 87 are showing red on google maps already.

Monday morning coming back in

 

Just talked to the bro in law. He said traffic heading up the 17 wasn’t bad at all. Lighter than he expected. He was in Black Canyon city at 4:45

 

Whoops meant aren't showing red

 

I feel like the only person still working in my entire company right now...tens of thousands of employees.

 

Not sure. Never bought grips for show.
Poke around a 1911 forum maybe.

 

So happy right now.

 

Long time no talk ladies and gents... how is everyone?

 

@MrMccrackin
Chris,
How was Bearizona? Thinking of heading up tomorrow

 

Any recommendations for someone who can do welding in the Chandler/Phoenix area?
Gonna get a rear bumper for the runner and its a weld together kit.

As long as you don't look from this close you'd never know there was paint missing.

 

It was awesome!

Well worth the drive, we didn’t leave until 0730 and got there before 1100. It wasn’t very busy until 1300!
We did the drive loop then ate in the picnic area and did the walk loop. Gift shop bla bla bla, did the drive loop again before we headed home.
Inlaws and cousins followed us up there but left before us.

I would recommend getting there early if possible. It seems noon is the busiest time of the day. Talked to the owner as he was directing parking and he said they are expecting 800ish cars which is double the number of cars normally and possibly 1000ish tomorrow.

 

Went to Fossil Creek. I’m a fan of the permit system, really cut down on the crowds

 

I remember there was a bunch of cooler talk a while back. Today’s trip convinced the boss we need a new cooler!

I have a Pelican cooler sitting on my Amazon list but not sure if it’s worthwhile.

What’s the best bang for your buck cooler wize? Need one that sit at/below the bed rail mounting channel.

 

I love my pelican super sturdy holds ice very well. Check to see if they have any used like new. That's how I got mine was like $80 cheaper.

 

Of course they are having a sale I can get the 30qt for $179.
I will look for used like new, thanks!

 

That's still a solid price. I was super hesitant to buy one but I'm really glad I did.
Couple things with the 30qt. The basket takes up a lot of room but it's handy. The 5lb ice pack is massive and eats up a ton of the 30qt. RTIC makes a couple smaller 1-2lb ice packs that are a lot better for the 30qt. I use the 5lb to pre chill before I head out camping but usually don't bring it especially if I'm using the basket

 

Redoing my resume & I don’t remember dates for places I worked at for shit lol. Looking at getting in discover card

 

I just got an Rtic 65. Haven’t used it yet. This weekend was supposed to be the maiden voyage. It looks like it would clear the rails. Other would know better. It appears to be lower than my arb
