    You could always get a limited and put wet okole seat covers in it. Waiting for mine to come in to save my seat, side bolster is getting more and more frayed

    The old-school color scheme works really well with the color of your truck!

    Same here in SC, the last state on the east coast to have a stay-at-home order (not enforced in the slightest). There are plenty of people taking it seriously enough to wear masks, and some are wearing gloves as well. But not seriously enough to stay home...lots of people here think it's silly and infringing on their rights. Why people don't understand that it's to protect others and not just themselves I don't know. As for me, I work in a hardware store so we've been open all along and have been busier than we've ever been. I have customers walk right up to me breathing in my face and have to ask them to step back, as I do the same! Businesses have been opening back up the last few days and will continue through this week.

    My girlfriend and I drove up to one of our favorite spots today. Had to snap some photos with the new wheels/tires first trip off pavement, and of course some poser shots on a little rock! Spot the extension cord feeding through the back window? I love having the outlet in the back. Was able to charge my dead camera battery on the way up.

    The road leads up to a place called Jumping Off Rock which overlooks Lake Jocassee, possibly the greatest and most natural area of it's size in the state. Also, if you ever find your way here...the name is not literal, meaning if you jump you will miss the water by a few hundred yards! Didn't snap any pics at the top today but here's the view from some time back.

    For anyone interested, there's some cool history at this lake. It's man-made and once was a valley and small town. My grandmother attended a summer camp for girls here, before the dam was built and the valley was flooded. At the bottom of the lake divers can still see evidence of life (and death), as the old Mount Carmel Cemetery is at the bottom of the lake. The cemetery was seen in the movie Deliverance, which was filmed here and on the nearby Chatooga River (another favorite place of ours). The movie will make most want to stay away from the area, but it's beautiful and worth the visit! Anyone hear banjo music....?

    I see you're in upstate SC, which Ace? I work at the Woodruff Road store in Greenville and am a Stihl mechanic. I'm still learning every day and it can be challenging, especially now. We've been backed up in the shop for a month now, I've had hardly enough time to work on anything. Plenty of saws and chains have been flying out the door lately with the crazy storms we're having.

    Very similar thing up here in Maine, it's called flagstaff lake and used to be the town of flagstaff, before they put it 30 feet underwater. You'd be risking a lot to go diving here though, lots of entrapment possibilities with trees and whatnot.

    I suppose there are more than one would think. From seeing old photos, a lot of this valley was clear of trees, and the ones that were there were cleared before the dam was built. Still, not my cup of tea. I like swimming and kayaking in the lake but deep and dark water freaks me out and this one is around 350' at it's deepest point. No thanks!

    Don't blame you one bit. Before I started working there I rarely went to Woodruff Rd for anything, but here I am still working at this location 10 years later haha. It's a wild mix of people and the number of them with more money than they know what to do with is growing by the day.

    Big Sebago is around 420’ at the deepest point. Used to jet ski out and jump off Fryes Leap. Theres two Canadian fighter planes in the deep end from WW2 time, clipped each other and went down. (Theres pics of one from an RC sub on google somewhere.) On the depth thing, im the same with any water thats never ending. Monsters.. Saw some weird shit in the CG and wont go in the ocean ever again either. We’re a freakin hors d’oeuvres in there.
