    I really like job trailers for these reasons and more. It's nice to be able to do truck stuff without unloading the bed, keeping supplies under cover, it's easy to roll on roll off with a ramp, the trailer is usually big enough for a backup work area... Etc etc

    Just saw your post. I get it. But there is a lot of utility there..

    I get it. Us women just wanna complain, you dudes try to fix. Im just whining. Husband has a trailer, I used to haul em. The places we have to get into (including all of the supply houses) is a no-go. I can barely get the van into some of the sites.

    The shop had the GB all done in just under an hour this morning. The owner of the shop jumped in and worked with the tech. Owner said everything looks great.

    Tire Rotation
    Engine Oil/Filter Change
    General Multi-Point Inspection
    Coolant Flush
    Serpentine Belt (preventative, it wasn't bad)

    Which shop, if you didn't mind me asking? I know there's stuff I definitely don't want to tackle myself and my current place is good but they aren't a Toyota shop...

    Sorry to hear about your aunt. And congrats on the license....even if it hasn't netted you the greenbacks just yet.

    And good evening to everyone.

    How DEE.

    Been absent here for a while. Just too much going on and for reasons I'm not allowed to talk about here, getting on social media/forums is a portal to issues that make me insane, so I've been a teetotaler of sorts, of the online universe, not alcohol!

    Got to Portland for my grandaughters birthday, and with the intention of showing my Fiance a good time in the area, beyond relatives homes, which is the norm. Also hoped to catch up with Mike and Mark. Made it in about 36 hours before i was left to worship the porcelain God in an Airbnb for 2 days. Fortunately the Airbnb was awesome, and I had my laptop to lay in bed and stream stuff between sprints to the bathroom. Then the GF arrived and the party loomed, so I missed the connect with my Tacoma Bro's. Very sorry about that.

    We did manage to get out for one nice dinner. It was my first 'meal' after my bug left, so we kept it light. Pretty night downtown. She's a California girl so the Dickensian appearance of the neighborhood went over well.

    Got back and been slammed with work hoping to get out on the bike soon.

    Hope I didn't miss too much.

    Here's mom and her 7 great grandkids. Looking pretty good for 92. My grandaughter is the one not cooperating.
