    95.5953 weeks is really when they love play dates though. I heard the 16,060 hour is crucial.







    I almost said something but didn't. Your child is 1.8333 years, or, in conversation, "Almost 2"

    I'll send you the link to my favorite porn site to help you out. All the time I see that there are hot singles in my area waiting to meet me, so maybe there are some in your area too. :notsure:

    Hate parents who can't let go of baby and call their kids 30 months old. Jesus fuck. He's 2 1/2.

    I never sued Toyota, it came down to a discussion between myself (and 2 other photographers) and Toyota's marketing department who used a BUNCH of photography without permission from more than just I. All I wanted was them to stop using the photography, and I offered up many alternatives than a financial reimbursement. The amount of money they paid wasn't a windfall, and a lot of people are making up facts about something they know nothing about.

    I'm not sponsored by anybody, jberry. I work hard in my profession as an editor and in camera department to pay my rent and put what I can into my truck and other hobbies. I'm occasionally lucky in being able to apply my professional skills towards helping out companies here and there.

    Yeah, I fucked up 5-6 years ago on a deeply personal level, and I paid for it. And as a result it refocused my life in to doing better work, fixing damaged relationships with family members, but it made me appreciate things a lot more. I put a lot of time and attention into things, like my truck. I gave up one thing and gained the desire to do better work, travel more, and make my life better while I still could. My 4runner was a milestone in bootstrapping my life back on course.

    I get that you want to keep taking potshots at me, as do others. People who've met me and then talk shit about me behind my back. And I know what really set this off lately was the VTX wheels, which I'll fully admit I would NOT have used in retrospect if I knew the backstory behind their designs. This year has been slow with work, and I needed to get our trailer built in time for Expo, and VTX approached me about offering up some wheels. I wish I had spotted the issue earlier, because I respect Vin at SCS, and by the time someone pointed out the copies it was 1 week before Expo and I didn't have the time/money to get what I wanted/needed. I have another pair of Hutchinson's on order, the VTX's won't be sold, they'll go in the spare rim pile at the trailer shop. I'm not gonna make a buck off Vin's designs.

    I regret that misstep. Hat in hand, I feel embarrassed about that.

    At the end of the day it's a friggin thing, it's just stuff, and if anything I appreciate my 4runner because for the most part its let me meet other people and see THEIR builds. I really actually dislike talking about my 4Runner, and I spent most of Overland Expo asking people questions about their builds and WHY they built them in the first place.

    It's flattering when someone attempts to copy your roof rack design but falls short. :thumbsup:
