    Awesome post!

    I would add that when traveling in the mountains, it's always a good idea to bring something to keep you warm-like a sleeping bag.

    You sir, are very insightful.
    Wife and I agreed a long time ago that gift giving is now about the kids and not us.

    Great post!

    We've got two issues around here.

    (1) Those who think the 4wd is an "indestructible" button. No, you can't merge at 65mph on the highway like you do in July. Not when there's 6" of slush on the road. Oh look! Another Grand Cherokee on it's roof in the median.

    (2) "I only use 4wd when I get in trouble!". Sure, it doesn't help you stop, but it sure helps you steer and get out of the way of the driver above. It's a $10,000 safety feature! Throw the F-ing switch when there's snow on the road!

    Yeah Deschutes was up at my favorite watering hole in North Lake not too long ago. I really liked the Chainbreaker White IPA and the Hop in the Dark beers.

    You said "dwindle" and "donkey dick" in the same discussion. Well done, sir, well done.

    But you do realize that Audis are invincible, right? Even the ones in the ditches?

    Yep Deschutes is good. I've toured their brewery a few times and almost did a beer making internship there. I just love the Deschutes area and forest too. Beautiful place!
