Gerd evening members of the >7.071² club. Light rain happening, I hope that it stops long enough for me to try to fix a taillight on the trailer. The woodshed jumped right out in front of it on Sunday as I was backing up to unload the firewood. Craziest thing ever...

Good evening folks. Sorry for my absence but some health issues and other things took priority. I did get a little burned out on Tacoma World as others have but the cancer monster reared it's ugly head with both of us and two family members and that's the real reason. We've packed up and are leaving on a extended visit with family and then begin some overlanding. Probably be out for a year. I'm cleared of any more cancer. Lost some of my ear but it makes for a good war story. She had major surgery and was cleared also. The two sisters, hers and mine are terminal. Sad but part of life and we'll be okay.
This whole pack of issues struck a nerve that we need to get out of the house and really appreciate the beauty of this great Country. We're outta here. LOL
We're going to be here for the long run, Toyota or not.
Film at 11 folks. Thanks and have a great night.

Good day.... Wife lost her wedding ring. Lost it last friday. Didn't say anything to me until yesterday morning. Prevailing thought was it may have got put in trash. We hands sorted 8 days worth of household trash not once..not twice.
.but FIVE times. At that point we gave up. She asked me to get her water bottle out of my truck.

Three guesses what was UNDER the water bottle. The look on her face was priceless. I have a happy wife. And I'm happy too. Only ring I ever gave anyone. It meant a lot to both of us

I'm glad to hear you still kicking the can down the road. Cancer is a real bitch, but glad you're still ahead of it. I hope you'll be able to spend some good quality time with your sisters! Best of luck on your Grand Tour, and I hope you'll continue to share more of your great photography skills with your senior TW family as you make your tour.

Beautiful day here. Spent the morning getting ready for the weekend camping and trail riding with TW folks. Just about everything is ready. I got to pick up some liquid refreshments.

Afternoon all!! I’m sitting here in the scenic cell phone lot waiting for the wife to land and get her luggage and the dog she brought back from Aruba. Everyone else gets a hat or a t-shirt

Morning all

After 2 months, I got my work van back.

The SA that was working on my van...is no longer there.

So I have to call and ask about the van.

"Oh yeah, it's done".

My grandfather flew them. Got out in '45 and was called right back a few years later for the Berlin Airlift. He loved that bird.

My dad flew on EC-47s in Vietnam. He loved that bird too.

I did this to Stitch a couple weeks ago...backed up to SUSVEE to transfer some stuff. Should have been watching camera instead of mirror. I'll order a new taillight eventually, lens tape is doing a good job currently.
