Fully loaded...

...we got snacks and supplies.

 

Where are we going and what are we doing when we get there??

 

road trippin by the chili peppers!

 

Looks like they plan on floating and paddling the truck someplace. Sheit creek maybe?

 

We're going to the canoe club and we're going to paddle our asses off when we get there. Today there were 8 (6-man) canoes out. We did three 1-mile races. The canoe I was in won every race. We smoked 'em. Got a lot of comments on my new truck today too.

 

You better get the TSB done, with that load surely you were hitting the bump stops....

 

Fully loaded? I guess that cooler must be full of lead.

 

I expect I'll be hitting the bumper stops with little or no load when I start taking it down to the coves around here. You wait, I'll take pics, you'll see. Getting the leaf spring TSB is definitely on my list. Does the TSB for sure cover the 09s? I've been checking out late model Tacomas around here, and there's a shit load of em, and I ain't seen one with a 4-leaf pack. But I'm gonna work the system.

 

With a paddle like that....I hope you were winning!!

 

That cooler's got dark matter in it. Poor truck can barely hold the weight.

 

I tie off my coolers and/or tackle boxes to one side with a bungee cord. That keeps them off the rod tips.

Where were you?

 

Blade broke clean off in practice today:

 

That sucks bro- I'm guessing from the look of that paddle it's not cheap either.

 

They're about $150, I got this one for $100 in a group buy. They're semi-mass produced in Wisconsin and they're usually a good economical blade for the kind of racing where you have to use wood. The more fancier sticks go for $300. Lucky I have a spare.

 

Down at Kawaihae Harbor on the Big Island where I paddle canoe.
