    I'm sure that has something to do with it, but I was thinking more along the lines of emissions and vapor control (which is why using the 55 gallon diesel Titan tank doesn't always work on a gas model). I think it's more than just the volume of gasoline you're carrying otherwise, you should be able to add another 15 gallons to the Tacoma tank. My Ferd has a 34 gallon gas tank so it's clearly possible, I think there may be other challenges.

    That is the most horrible story I've ever heard ...here is a picture of another brisket with perfect coloring. Briskets are harder because they can overcook.
    This is how much fat I had to trim off to get it just right. I hate it when someone leaves too much fat on a brisket. That's basically why I can't get barbecue at a restaurant it's never as good as what I do at home

    Sounds about right, and the older I get the less I care.

    I usually just don't bother to officially cut cords though, sometimes it's just different goals and stuff. Plus when my second job gets hectic, I've little free time.

    Me too..

    on the insurance front, some companies are not for profit. I've been in the field almost 20 years.

    On the money thing..I tell people all the time what I make at my second job. It's so little that I don't even make minimum wage.

    Mainly though, I'm on the board of a non-profit. Some of the old guard before I got involved wasn't always doing things right in terms of financials, PM for more.

    Since the turnover, we make damn sure to keep it clean..especially since we were audited back in the day. All the information is public anyway so I have zero issue telling someone I get a salary of $1000 twice a year but do well over 100 hours of work each half year, plus have taxes taken right out of it..and that I get $35 a meeting for our board meetings (which I drive 70-80 miles round trip for), $50 to work a day tournament (which is again mileage usually, plus food, plus I'm there 10-12 hours)..

    You either like what you're doing, or you're stuck with it....But I'm guessing it's a labor of love and the accomplishment of things working out and coming together is the real pay off...It's like a painter painting a picture that only he really understands...People look at it and say "You spent all that money on paint and brushes and THAT'S what you did??" but you see a masterpiece...

    Big time labour of love. I've met a lot of great friends in 19 years, 10 of that officially on the board.

    Mainly I saw a passion of mine and saw ways to improve it.

    What do you have for a sleep set up? Did you modify your RTT for winter camping at all?
