Hubby is reading about Kirkegaard, as I’m giggling about furry potatoes. He says this is why humanity is doomed. I disagree - I can discuss Kirkegaard, but it’s bedtime, and I think sea cat snakes are more appropriate bedtime reading.

We’ve agreed to disagree, but the sighs everytime I giggle are getting a bit much. If he’s not careful, I’ll start rounding up our best memes.

Just going to leave this for @Sean L ;)
Yes, Rattlers are VERY rare here, but they are here. I'll have to agree with the wildlife officer, this is very weird, and I didn't know a rattlesnake would go swimming!

Now I have to add swimming rattlesnakes to my list of things to avoid, on top of Water Moccasins and baby Copperheads that will Kill you DED!

I just said, “Oh! She’s so pretty!” and introduced her to hubby.
He responded with “Oh for god’s sake...”

I can’t decide whether to kick him out of bed now, or surprise-push him out around 3am....

Get a kick out of this 76 CJ5 window sticker. :):jk:
And just one day before the BiCentennial!

I get a kick that the soft top upgrade is wayyyy more than the engine upgrade lol.

Jeeps were expensive even back then! I remember my parents bought a brand new 76 Buick Regal for about the same price. The engine upgrade is cheap due to going from a 232 to a 250. The top is expensive because Jeeps came standard with NO top! :)
I can imagine the sales rep, fresh out of Vietnam, "you want a soft top? You Pansy!"

I've done some conversions:

$69 in 1976 is $306.49 today. Very nice for an engine upgrade!
$225 translates to $999.42 so not that bad compared to what I'd pay for an OEM softop today... :facepalm:

Can you imagine what the general forums would look like if we were limited to the CJ-5/7? I can imagine the arguements over how the cost to upgrade to the larger inline six doesn't justify a mere 5 Hp and 10 Lb-ft advantage, and then someone with the V8 getting smug with everyeone...

If I were to show my wife Jeeps in the middle of the night, she'd put me on the couch permanently.
