    Yeah, unfortunately this isn't the best time of year weather-wise, but we would love to see as much of the outdoors as possible. Hopefully it won't be too rainy while we're there.

    We'll be there Feb 11-18. @jeverich, are you on Kodiak, and will you be there during that week?

    We're thinking about taking a tour of the CG base, anyone done it, is it worth seeing?

    I'll be here; but most likely fishing...

    Give a shout when you get to the island - I can try my best to recommend some restaurants and things to do. Might even have time for a tour of my boat if that sounds at all captivating?

    The base is pretty cool - never heard of the CG giving any tours; usually you can just drive on base and see everything from there.

    For perspective, yesterday was the first day of clear skies and sun for about 2 weeks!

    possibly the smallest 4x4 I've seen. The axles and leaf springs were so small! Almost go cart sized

    I feel this should be redone to say Toyota, even terrorists agree.

    That is sexy, that cut on the bed sides is super straight, best i've ever seen. What'd you guys do with the block heater cord?
