Adrian, I have always thought about driving an RV to work so I could party at lunch,,, or take a nap depending on the day and what happened the night before.

It started to snow on my way into work today... we need it! I hope we get 2 or 3 more "good" storms.

It was somewhat decent weather yesterday, so I took Frankie out for a longer drive than usual... aside from a crap ton of squeaks, it's really a fun car to drive. I'm hoping that changing all of the door/hatch strikers and rubber seals, I can alleviate a lot of those squeaks. Also need a new speedo cable. That probably makes more noise than anything else.

I'm not at all into this paranormal crap, but Asylum 49 is a couple miles from me. It will be on Friday's episode of "A Haunting".

Just a little walk through the local DJ did a couple months ago:

Wonder if he can speak about the fraud charges?
Probably not, lawyers and stuff.

I would guess no. I didn't participate in today's, but I did last week. Nobody said a word about it that I saw.

He does field questions though.... I'm sure you're well aware, Noobs.

Did you watch today? He said he's going to start building a 4 wheel steer wrecker to take out on trails. I think similar to Tow Mater.

Trail Mater doesn't have 4 wheel steer. He uses the electric air locker to help steer. Sort of like those old tractors use to with diff lock in the rear two pedals on the floor. The tractors had a deal on the floor where lock the pedals together for two wheel braking and unlock for individual wheel braking in the rear. They still use those set-ups today for rubber tire loader/backhoes. I leased one for 3 years and that set up really helps you steer when you have a full bucket of dirt in the bucket. Only thing bad about individual rear wheel braking is they wear out very fast due to the weight of the machine and load your carrying. I think both Paul and Trail Mater have it on their crawlers....they use levers vs pedals.

4 wheel steer, - I've only seen a few rock crawlers with that set up so far....on "Bleeping Jeeps" channel. That would be cool seeing one of these guys build one. It's like perfect timing for Matt to build one like that, You know Paul must be thinking about incorporating that as well lol. More things can go wrong with 4 wheel steer, perhaps that's why a lot of them don't it. Not sure. The Monster trucks have it, but they're are on military axles....perhaps that's the ticket....(?)

Just got a rough call from my Buddy. His brother had a stroke and probably not going to make it. I'm probably going to take him to the airport in the morning... hoping to go see his Bro one last time. Dang it... 🙏
