Took the wife on a sunset drive in the mountains. Need to work on keeping my fat fingers off the lense.
I can cook them on a campfire no problem, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do them whole on the grill or skillet. Usually when I do them on anything but a campfire I fillet them and fry them with some Uncle Buck's. Just don't catch fish that I have any desire to keep often enough to experiment.
Craned a motor out of the shed.

Noticed the rope was rubbing on the stinger gusset, so I spaced it off with a 2x4 "fairlead." Clamped with screws through the hole in the gusset.

Since I had the crane rigged up I retrieved a big wood round that I've been putting off lugging up the hill.

That's redneck as hell, and I'm here for it!😎
Got to watch my 17 year old son learn to drive a standard today. His generation thinks that a standard is an anti-theft device.

I think you'd be surprised by how many Gen Z kids can drive stick. Obviously not as many as other generations, but for an era where automatic is standard there's a few. I know two or three that have had one as their daily since high school. I learned how forever ago, just haven't had the chance to drive stick since. Not great at it but I absolutely had to I'd be able to.
Yesterday we did a little driver training in an empty parking lot. He’s doing pretty well with the manual for a 10 year old.

I love this! My boy is a couple of months from getting his permit and the keys to the XJ. Driving around with him on backroads and parking lots for the past 2 years has been a very rewarding experience for me.
Would you adopt me? I want to drive it too.All four of my kids were behind the wheel of my rig at 12 or 13.
There’s definitely more than you’d expect. At my school, I’ve randomly met probably 5 people who drive stick, so I’m assuming there are quite a bit more too that I haven’t met. I never thought there would be that many my age who drive it, but apparently it is the case 🤷♂️
Edit - of those that ive met who drive stick, none of them enjoy it/do it out of choice. They do it because it’s just the car that they have, or because their parents want them to drive it to keep them less distracted from the phone. I don’t understand that, I find it so much more enjoyable to drive stick. Granted though, I have a tj which is a bit more fun to drive than their sedans.
