    Too many to list now.
    I have indeed, and so have your bumpers :)

    Also I pulled the trigger on a big electrical upgrade. 250 amp alternator that puts out 186 amps at 700 RPM :eek:
    Building a new set of cables as well when I get it installed, my brother got me one of those digital readout terminals for christmas so I'll do that at the same time. Oh and my 40 slot breaker box that everything will run through :p Gonna be a whole new system under there, all this copper is going to dramatically enhance old Winnifred's curb appeal.

    Very cool man. There is definitely something special about the place!
    I totally know what you mean. I've been born and raised in the south and I'm also in university in the lower 48 and by that time I'll be very ready to get out.. I'm going to get up there a couple of times and hopefully spend a good amount of time making sure it's a place I'm wiling to make a change to.

    Thanks for the advice! I managed to fix it by simply unplugging and replugging the tail light. I have no idea why it was doing it, maybe it was loose? My truck isn't the smoothest riding Taco in the world with the 887 coils and cooper st Maxx.

    Are any of you in Kodiak? My wife and I will be there in a couple weeks visiting friends for a week. My buddy grew up there, so I'm sure he has things in mind for us to do, but are there any must see/do's I should know about?

    If I remember correctly, chipnoreo had some good stories about a strip club on a boat down there, if you're into that sort of thing

    Haha, I guess that's the kind of excitement I should expect on an island.

    Kodiak... I fucking gorgeous. I love it there. What do you like to do? This time of year is not the best for a lot of outdoor stuff. But it's do able. There are beaches everywhere that you can walk on. Lots of mountain trails.... Drive out to fossil beach and collect fossils. Check out Fort Abercrombie. Bars... No stellar restaurants but some decent places to eat. Drive up to pillar mountain to watch the sunset....


    Hahaha.... yeahhh.... I do. That shit got shut down though :( Unfortunate. The strippers were actually pretty cool. We had a talk about life while one of them was dancing.....

    I'm at the local state university UAA and work as an engineering intern, and sound tech when I can. Parents both landed good jobs in Valdez, so we moved back up to Alaska, then moved to Anchorage after about 16 months there.

    When will you be here? I captain a fishing boat...

    The weather has been absolute shit so far this winter.

    Check out the Olds River Inn, The Powerhouse and The Rendesvouz for places to eat and drink.

    Negatory.

    The owner was recently served with a Federal Indictment after the Coast Guard determined he was pumping sewage directly into the water within 3 NM from shore.

    He has quite a checkered past, and is very anti government. Pretty sure he'll be doing time in a Federal Prison.

    Hey brochachos. Some of my nerd Bros what to hike flat top, haven't been since I moved back. Don't remember it much. They said no way I could take my pup with me. The last 200 feet they said the snow was too deep. True false? Pic of said pup for attention.20151101_121748_1_22a03f30aa9c7784820f7edc2d1ffe8053d93f6a.jpg

    Ive had shiro up there in the summer and early srping when there is still some snow.... He could probably do it in the winter. But Shiro also backcountry skis with me and he doesn't really give a fuck about much.

    Youll wanna watch him cause there are a couple spots along that trail that are in pretty common avalanche paths. Don't want him (or you) triggering something that comes down on ya.

    Havent been up there this winter cause I tore my ACL and have been trying to recover from that shit....
