Sorry, I've been focusing on getting everything squared away on my Jeep. I'm thinking that there's no way I'll have it for our trip to the Ozarks next Thursday, so I have to schedule it to be delivered here after that. Oh well.

Sucks you won't have it for your trip, but hopefully you'll have it in time to still enjoy the summer months Can't wait to see how it turned out once you get it back from AEV.

Sorry, all I know is that the majority of Canadian orders take f'n forever.

My tools are focused around domestic builds, but these are the Canadian build sheets that are popping up. This is a pure db dump and not formatted for these forums.

2022-03-21 Canada Country Code 123

Thanks Ratbert. Does "2022-04-26 Canada Country Code 46" mean that 46 Jeeps were ordered on April 26th? OR that 46 Build Sheets were created that day?

Bummer.

But thanks for the update.

It's the number of build sheets that I detected being generated each day.

I'm trying to work it out so we just fly to Michigan and drive the new rig to the Ozarks from there. Hopefully I'll be able to make that happen. There's a Jeep-rated trail in southern Missouri that we need a badge from .

Hope that works out for you. When I picked up mine from Koons, I was able to go see my family in NY and then headed back to NC. Easily the most enjoyable trip I've driven a vehicle in so far. The next weekend after I got back I took it down to Uwharrie and tooled around down there on some of the easy trails

Now I'm looking at skidplates and rock sliders, but mainly skidplates...

Sounds like a great trip!

RSE rock sliders arrived in January. Sitting in the garage.

MetalCloak roof rack arrived in April. Sitting in the garage.

NVM aluminum skid plates are arriving today. They too, as you guessed, will be sitting in the garage.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you have done on this forum. My Jeep is almost home now and your crypto and information has helped me stay sane. See you down the trail??

Thanks, but to be clear: crypto isn't me / mine. Hopefully I'll eventually get off my ass and put together a website, but that hasn't happened yet.

Seeing as though I barely passed my first statistics test yesterday, I am in awe of y’all’s skills! Thank you @Ratbert and @bjm00se for all the info!

@bjm00se is the one with a knack for statistics. Mine's in software engineering.

(Don't tell anyone I write software for a living.)
Actually, by the time I receive my Jeep, I'll be retired.

I can't imagine retiring. I just love developing software.

I do like writing software. In the last weeks and months, I'd find myself working into the evening on some coding task I'd been working on.

But, at my level, I also am expected to practice a considerable amount of "leadership."

Reviewing designs.
Reviewing code.
Suggesting approaches.
Mentoring developers.
Explaining to upper management what compleat idiots they are, while using polite words.
Answering random questions about the system, out of left field.

All that stuff makes me tired, and I'm more than ready to give it up.

I'll probably take up arduino or raspberry pi programming or something, as a hobby.

I've been pretty damn lucky to be able to avoid any form of a management role while still receiving an exceptional salary and benefits.

Any significant plans for retirement?
