Morning all

Could I have stuck with a stock Jeep and gone to all the places I have? Yes.

Would it have been as fun? No.

Would I do it again. Hell yeah! (though maybe with a slightly different set of gear)

IMHO, the 35's were spot on for the two doors. I'd consider the 37's for the unlimited. I'd stick with 2.5" lift for either though there are times I wish they made a 1.5" for the two door.

I was really hoping that they would put out the Mojave Wrangler. I'd stick with that suspension stock. Ah well...

1. Tires
2. Gears
3. Lift

GO.

37s is still a hard sell for me. I still need my wife and dog to be able to get in the Jeep so it can fulfill its primary duty as a Family SUV, and for it to get decent mileage since I drive it to work almost every day.

If I really did the wheeling that called for 37s they would be on the table for sure, but I find my 32s work pretty well for Uwharrie and Patriot Mountain. Seriously, Mike just floated over everything when he visited, lol!

I got to experience the sea rations and a lot of MRE's because of Dad. Most were terrible, but I did like the cookies and hot chocolate. Chicken A La King was the favorite and there were fights for the dry ass cookies. lol

I never really got Chicken A La King, it was discontinued pretty early in my career I think and what we were getting in the field were what was left over stock. Buffalo Chicken was the go to when I retired. It was actually pretty good, but I think that was primarily the abundance of sauce rather than the meat itself.

I'm lifting my dog and putting a milk crate down for the wife to use as a step!

Sorry, you lost me on that one. I may be too old…

This does require some context:

• The city, in its infinite wisdom wants to buy from local business over non-local.
• The City DOT guy wants specific road marking devices that are made in Sweden.
• He cannot buy this locally, but uses us as his local supplier and we buy what he wants.
• Long vacations are mandated by law in Europe apparently...
• I am waiting on a reply from the sales rep in Sweden and hoping he's not on his 30 day paid vacation.

The Swedes know how to live.

There's no way I'm Picking up Charlie to put him in the Jeep... He thinks its play time then and starts wrestling, lol.

Loki isn't a fan of car rides. I'd have to lift him to get him into the back of the Rav4.

Gotta take your Government mandated vacation sailing on your government mandated Yacht.

Ah, clear as mud. I thought I was missing some cultural, or movie reference.

Now I want to know what an “oddly specific road marking device” is.
What does this device look like?
What does it do? That may be answered in the question above.
Why does Sweden have a lock on the production of this device?
Is it because some far reaching, and inordinately strong, legal protections that prevent other countries from making this device? Or is it that other countries simply do not care about this device, leaving our lonely municipal employee to lament the lack of opportunity to obtain this device within the statutory framework the political/power framework his community knuckles under to??? I feel very bad for this municipal employee, and the requirement that he sidestep a legally binding moratorium on the purchase of this “oddly specific road marking device.” I am also devastated that this steadfast, and diligent, municipal worker must live at the whim of an arbitrary, and so very foreign, land that has inexplicably…

I’m sorry, what the hell were we talking about again?
Ahh f***k it, I need some coffee!
Thanks for playing along

Willow HATES car rides. She whines/screams non-stop in this awful ear-piercing pitch the entire duration. I can't even drown her out with the radio.

Sedating her isn't an option as she can't tolerate it (almost killed her when she was spade)

I don't know what makes the Swedish tool more special than others... I'm just the middle man putting a markup on it...
