I’d been thinking of adding a dash cam for awhile, no particular reason other than it would be nice to have something hands free to grab the occasional trail footage from. My biggest issue was I didn’t want something taking up space on the windshield that I had to look at all the time, and...

Grilled SPAM and pineapple Hawaiian with homemade spicy pineapple bbq sauce. Sourdough crust.

Well, kind of new. Spitfire just reached a year old recently and I‘ve had her since June. I was not really looking for a dog, my last retired sled dog passed away almost two years ago, having reached the ripe old age of 17. After having a sled dog kennel and so many dogs over the years, I was...

Been wanting an awning for overlanding/base camping that was not a semi-permanent fixture on my roof. My criteria was: easy to erect/dismantle and stow, lightweight yet durable and budget friendly. I looked at both Kelly’s Waypoint and Slumberjack Roadhouse. Each had its attractions, but the...

Still digging out. Power has been on and off. Today for around 10 hours, along with the cell towers. Like living in the 19th century. 🤣 They’ve called out the National Guard to help clear up the town of Leavenworth. It was knee deep when I left for work Thursday morning, waist deep when I got...

… until Hans Gruber falls off the Nakatomi Towers.

There you are, crawling the mall and minding your own beesness (SWIDT?) when you suddenly find yourself swarmed. The real hero of the story is the battler with the cast iron cajones scooping them out bare handed. https://nypost.com/2021/09/25/bee-swarm-invades-australian-mans-jeep/

We wheeled sections 4&5 of the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route this last week. Ostensibly our final destination was Conconully, but we really weren’t in any kind of hurry. Three Jeeps, one Dodge, four humans and two dogs. The Dodge gets a pass, it was driven by our mechanic friend that...

How I imagine my drive home will be: How it’s likely to really be: 😉

I clicked on a video on the tube of you. Not really sure why, don’t have much interest in EcoDiesels, I’ll plead boredom. My interest perked up a little when they said they were traveling to the tourist town nearby. However, got to 8:35 of the video and they start turning donuts in a parking...

My last sled dog has passed away. 17 years, as tenacious at the end as she was on the trails. For the first time in 30 years we are without multiple canines and the first time in my life without a dog at all. Not quite sure how I feel about it. Instinct is to find a new dog. There’s and empty...

Hans Gruber has fallen from the Nakatomi Tower. Merry Christmas everyone!

...trying to explain to my wife why you can’t just pop the doors off the XJ we got her like the TJ and YJ.

Last weekend The Spawn and I loaded up the Jeeps after we each got off work and did a 150 mile loop over 3 days on part of the Washington Backroads Discovery Route. We live just a few miles from where the route passes. We camped the first night at the junction where one of the local trails feeds...

I picked up a free OME soft top and bows last night. Good shape, needs a little cleaning. No side or rear curtains. Not having a garage, I got it to extend my hardtop off season by a few weeks on either side of spring/fall when there’s showers but not hard rain. Nobody likes driving with a wet...

Doesn’t say who the maker is. Seems in good shape. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/346846213135725/

Watched the safe return of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Endeavor capsule and NASA crew recovery with my boy. Absolutely outstanding to see an American built rocket launched and recovered on American soil and waters, safely carry an American crew into orbit and back.

My buddy has this beautifully maintained old girl in his shop; owner is having the 6 volt system changed to 12, with the stipulation that anything removed is preserved for reinstallation down the line if wanted. Bonus CJ with local mineral parking brake. 🤣

As an old frigate sailor and the son of a destroyer sailor, this one was a must watch. Action starts 10 mins in and doesn’t stop until the last 5. Well shot, the CGI isn’t unbelievable and much of it was filmed aboard Fletcher Class DD USS Kidd. Great portrayal of the Battle of the Atlantic...

Took Friday off and my son and I went camping. We stayed close to home so my wife could join us in the evenings, as she had to work. When I say back yard camp out, this is our back yard: Look for the reddish brown 2 story with the old Ford tractor parked out front. Promise it’s right there in...
