I need better insulating gloves; mine have a "drag patch" but I still get a bit of heat.

Sucks I use a small in Black Stallion; other gloves that are nicer only start at Medium or Large.

 

Improve your mental health by wondering if you've gone insane.

Man car rentals are still as crazy as they were over summer. 4 days through Enterprise over Thanksgiving for a 4 door sedan, they want over $600

Fortunately my father's corporate discount code still works even though he retired last year - total $189

Damn price gouging

 

Learning more and more.

Some would say weld #2 is better than weld #1 (which, is pretty consistent)





But #2 is toed a bit too much as shown below



Versus #1

 

I've heard of people renting uhaul/home depot trucks to save money


you guys going back east for the holidays?

 

that's not a bad idea actually. Gas would be a killer but it would probably still be cheaper than getting a rental right now.

I don't think u-hauls are set up for child seats though lol.

We're staying in CA but flying up to see her family in Norcal for the long weekend. 7 hour drive with a toddler is not fun so opted for the short 45 min flight instead

 

This is why my friend and his family leaves at like 2 am when they’re driving somewhere a long ways away.

kids are knocked out for a lot of the drive

 

Yeah I've thought about doing that, might try it for xmas this year.

When my siblings and I were kids, my dad would remove the middle row from the van so we'd have a big area to play games in and he strapped a small TV with a built in VCR to the center console for us to watch movies. He still thinks he invented in-car tv entertainment.

Probably good we never got in a wreck though

 

My dad had a shell on his truck with the bed completely carpeted too.

That was play area, we also didn’t die

 

Start them young with long car rides, as they get older they learn to sleep and can hold out for bathrooms longer.

 

That's a good way to get piss and shit in your upholstery.

 

Diapers

 

You don't have kids huh?

 

Of course not

 

Diapers don't hold it all in.
