Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

[CDRMidnight]

I find the Jeep encourages a more relaxed drive. Not that it can't move when needed, but I just like relaxing and letting the others zip by in their hast to get to the light before me.

That's the Hawaiian Driving Method/Tao, in a nutshell.

A.k.a. 'Hawaiian Time'...

Cheers,

Good Morning Jeep Freaks!

 

[Krondor]

howdy all. Yes, I am still alive. I'm sure I've missed a couple thousand pages and no, I'm not going to go back through and read them. Still freakin busy at work and I don't feel like getting on the forum during the downtime.
The good news is that my granddaughter ended up getting her mom and dad to purchase a JL. Also my wife is thinking of ordering herself a JL.....so I got that going for me.

What? You mean you were living life?



Congrats on the Jeeping family! I'm slowly convincing the son in law that he needs a Jeep and not a truck.

"What are you hauling?? That little boat? I can do that with my two door!"

@Krondor . Gary did you climb any more mountains while I was away? I heard the Aspens were supposed to have been gorgeous this past autumn.

was trying to live life as best as I could. We had a bad ending to the year, well bad year period. lost my mom in June (I was still active in the forum back then). My wife's mother passed late Oct and her older brother in Dec. CRAZY.

Another positive: My Bengals finally broke that damn Bo Jackson curse this past weekend. I can honestly say that was the most electrifying game I have been to in that damn stadium (season ticket holders since 2004).

I'll deal with the 10 degrees with better layers. WTF do you do in 110? Die.

You die.

No thank you.

You are correct sir. The one million Arizonans that die each and every summer due to heat is way under reported in America.

Sorry for your loss.

I do hope 2022 treats you and your family much better. Best wishes man.

Sweet mother of all that is holy, this should be illegal. My wife and youngest were in Cleveland this past weekend for a volleyball tournament we've been to for many years with our middle one. I just saw the charge in our checking account from the hotel. I knew it was expensive (we've stayed there before), but it's the best option as once you get there, you don't have to leave, can walk to the tourney, etc. BUT $1000 for 1 adult, 1 kid for 2 nights???? IN CLEVELAND???

I texted my wife to double check her receipt to make sure that was correct. And while waiting on her reply, I went to said hotel's website and checked room rates for this Friday and Saturday night. The most expensive room, the Ambassador Suite, with taxes and fees was $800. The room they got last weekend was $500 this weekend. They doubled their rate for the volleyball tourney??? I mean, I would expect higher rates for a big event like that, but double??? That's just wrong.

Edit: She just got back to me.
The rate for the room was hiked a crazy amount, but not double. However, the valet parking (which you are required to use, no parking yourself) was $100, and they got food from the hotel store on a couple of occasions (not room service, but small snacks and drink and maybe a sandwich type of things). Still, we need to think about keeping her on regional club teams instead of nationals in the future. I have stuff I want to buy for my Jeep, after all.

Not a lot of 14'ers though we plan to hit Pikes Peak early February for our annual Barr camp adventure. The plan is to hike up the back side to summit, and then back to camp for the night. The snow may be too deep again, but this time I'm bringing the snow shoes.

We did do a couple more through hikes

Early May - Week Long Hike in Utah with the boys!

• Owl Creek and Fish Creek Loop ~ 15.2 miles
• Natural Bridges Loop ~ 8.3 miles
• Bullet Canyon ~ 6 miles

June - Lost Creek Wilderness ~20 miles, but we didn't finish
September - Kings Peak Utah ~27 miles

I've been hiking more short bits with the wife and pup, mostly local and still finding new trails. Those have been more enjoyable in many ways, so I do plan to continue with more exploring as we can get out.

Autumn was amazing this year. Much better than 2020 where all the leaves just dropped.

Even in the hood. It was nice.

I thought I took a lot more pictures from our hikes, but not finding anything spectacular. The aspens were great. I'll find some and post if I do.

It's all about elevation in the summer, lol!

Kevin, I hope you're going to have a better year for 2022. At the very least you have a potential Jeep convoy brewing.

Only 110?

That's a cool summer day in Fallujah.

Heck it's going to be nearly 90 here today. August is going to be a life changing experience for a lot of people
