    NWS Spokane Forecast Office Fall Report pdf stated that the Inland NW has been 10-15 degrees above normal for the season. One day of rain in July (the 30th) then about three days in August, and just 20% chances for passing thunderstorms, that could just amount to wind, a little virga and blowing dust from the plowing for fall seeding.
    Just found Bullet Proof Fabrication in the PNW makes these aluminum tailgate inserts with storage hatches: https://www.bpfabricating.com/products/bpf-2005-2015-toyota-tacoma-tailgate-panel I like my grey HDPE insert from All-Pro Off Road, and they've added a fully flat option and additional colors.

    Mine was free too. But not a combo. I had the C a few months back. It was recommended that I wait at least 3 months for the stab. Plus there is a new one to address the current circulating strains that is now available.

    Since my late teens, I felt the word should be "Always." Coeds came down from the upper floors of the dorm one evening with a grip strength meter (class project) after testing female students to test guys. The results were reported to us later, that every one of the women were stronger than any of the guys. (In my experience, they outcompete guys at cussing, too.) There's a reason I prefer Gallant to Goofus (we read Highlights magazine in our early years) to hold doors open for others and generally be polite and kind. Smiles are contagious, like yawns, but won't put you to sleep.

    TIP OF THE DAY PEOPLE
    For some unknown reason a piece of plastic had the Audacity to attach itself to my pipe.

    IMG_8340.jpg

    Get a piece of hardwood and shape it into a scraper.
    Comes off well and no marks on the chrome

    YOU ARE WELCOME

    Traction (decompression therapy) made a huge difference for a friend of mine. So much so that bought one of those inversion swings that hold you upside down. He would hang on to a 20 lb weight to pull down harder.

    That was years ago. I don't know if that's still a thing or not.
