PJ, wonderful pix of your paddling trip. My wife and I have done a lot of kayaking, but never underground!

Well, the Tacoma is back home!!! Looks great, as I expected from the body shop (had work done there before when a tree branch fell on the roof and A pillar).
Can't say I'm sorry to be rid of the Big Blue Beast. Nice truck if I needed something like that. Than I could excuse the lousy mileage. Guess that takes care of my "Big Truck Lust" for a few years!!

I like my Ram, love the Hemi, but if I can find a mid size that suits my towing needs I will probably buy it.

I have found with my Honda Ridgeline I don’t miss my Tundra at all.
I know a couple guys with Tundras..both complain about the (lack of) fuel economy even with no load in the bed.
The Tacoma averages economy in the low 20's MPG range. Mine, around 21 to 23 MPG on the average. The tradeoff, of course, is capacity for loads. Since my truck has no load in the bed 80% of the time, it's a good trade off. If I need more capacity, I rent a trailer. I'll buy a trailer one of these days...something big enough to handle the Gator should do the job.

I have an 8ft. Bought it to replace an earlier version that was 2 pieces, each a bit over 48” with a piece to combine them into s single. Somewhere along the line, the combiner piece went missing, hence the replacement, but I still find the 2 shorter pieces most handy for ripping be it with any saw or even a knife. Also handy with a couple of screws when a mounted straight edge is needed.

Mine is the 2 piece unit. I hope I can still find both pieces. Lol

Today is our anniversary-19 years!
Happy 19th anniversary you two!

rs, pretty flowers.

Great pictures folks.

Thanks to PJ for me setting up a bunch of Rush videos playing in the background while I went on the tours with you guys. Kayak spelunking, Low level lake pics panning for gold.....If only you could take an ATV down there RNG. If they won't allow it, I'd be considering a horse.

BEF, thanks for the Old farm pics.

Had a lot of posts to catch up on. We didn't get but a small puff of wind from the storm, and a spritz of rain. Our grass is turning brown now.

We got invited to attend the Texas A&M game vs New Mexico this weekend. A friend's son is a senior, and marching in the Corp of Cadets Fighting Texas Aggie band.

My co-worker friend with Covid in the hospital is having a rough time with PT. His right leg is numb. Needs prayers. His name is John.

Prayers for our team, and our country.

No, I would just have to like driving it. I’ve never driven a new Ranger. I’m neutral on the Tacoma, my son had a 2017. I do like the Canyon my best friend has, drives great and has 308 hp and 7000 lb tow rating. I don’t need more than 5000 lb. but a well equipped one is expensive, and so is the Jeep Gladiator. I will likely wait for the market to cool a little. My Ram runs and drives great but it’s tall getting in and very thirsty.

I used to be able to get the RTV around the k-rail barrier, but now they've arranged it so it won't fit anymore. The one time I did take it down there, I got it stuck in the mud up to the hubs and had to rescue it with the tractor and sixty feet of chain. That was pretty messy, and I found out later if I'd have been caught, it would been a dandy fine. Access as it is just fine, since if it was too easy, it would be crowded (we only saw two other people) and there would be issues with needles and vandalism.
