What did you do to your TJ today?

Oooooooh, when you go out and play in the mountains in a rain storm the car wash gives you a special achievement award (and charges you an extra $10)

I have in the past, been asked not to come back to a car wash. Back when I had my 74 Bronco on 40's and was generally running mud bogs every weekend, the GA. State patrol stopped me once and followed me to the nearest car wash and sat while I washed all the mud off it.

Then gave me a $100.00 fine for the mud that had fallen off on the road.

I had won $500.00 that weekend so it didn't bother me to bad.
 
Took Tess up just north of the Mason-Dixon to visit a co-worker I hadn't seen in about 20 years. Snorted some gunsmoke and hung out in his mancave. He had this little gem parked in one of the bays...

4 wheeled plenty. Had a mild build Samurai for years in Pa then came to Az. Almost always alone so the object was always to get home. Not ashamed to say I backed up and turned around rather than say wonder if I can make it. Just enough rock crawling with other guys to know that breaking stuff and/or getting good and stuck isn't my thing. This TJ is our daily so it's not getting beat but we do get it dirty.

I had a Hold My Beer moment.

Looks like the TJ will be parked for a while unfortunately. I got attacked by a conveyor belt at work Wednesday night and had to be flown to Inova Fairfax. After two surgeries in three days the doctors are optimistic about keeping my arm but it looks like my pinky might have other plans. I have a long road to recovery and probably won’t be able to drive a stick for a while or even work on my Jeep but I’ll still check in and try to help anyone I can. I have three more surgeries scheduled for next week. They’re flushing the wound out and applying artificial skin since I no longer have any on my forearm. Thankfully it wasn’t worse. Sorry for the gruesome pictures in advance lol

I do have a thang for Goth girls.

Yea, you and me both. But you seemed to indicate you dislike AI - hence my question; engendered by the old joke about a blonde who dyes her hair black (or other dark color) being an example of "artificial intelegence"!
