    Hmm. Well mom doesn't want to be flexible with the kids so I may be out. Only got the kids half the day Sunday and she has plans...

    Shared custody sucks. Makes it hard to go anywhere and do anything without ditching the kids entirely. :( Or planning far in advance.

    Ride Report:

    Ended up being a small group of 3 rigs (all Toyota). Four humans total.

    All in all we hunted down two X-Mas Trees, both of which were 100% natural organic (not to mention Montana grown), and the weather turned out fantastic if I do say so myself.

    Here is @MTgirl 's X-Mas tree in the back of my DCLB... she just had to get one too big for her 4 Runner...


    The views didn't suck either!

    We were up in the Gravellies south of Ennis. Was a good day, ended up driving the whole loop as there wasn't much snow.

    Made a little progress today....until my drill died and I can't get the screws in the base to bite into the trunk. Waiting for a battery to recharge...

    Drill died... ? o_O Don't those screws have a loop on them? Just stick a screw driver in the loop and use it like a big turn knob. Leverage FTW! :D

    Post up a photo when it's all decorated!:boink:

    Okay that's better for the environment. Glad to hear it! lol

    I'm not a big Prius fan. Though more than anything I just think the lithium batteries sort of defeat the purpose of the "environmental" marketing behind electric hybrid cars. Sure lithium is a much better battery but it's not really environmentally friendly to make or dispose of.

    Would be cool to see Hydrogen cells take off though. Exhaust would simply be water vapor.
