A day of limited progress re intended tasks, but more of a one off kinda day.
I actually traded the Tundra - and I never left home!
Yesterday I opened a dialog with salesman that sold it to me in 2012. He now works at Honda of other side of the island. Responsible for wife’s Pilot buy as well. So Wed afternoon he is expected to deliver a new Ridgeline RTL-E AWD and pickup the Tundra.
Our conversation yesterday I said I intended to get the scratches fixed, interior detailed etc to maximize price. I did share pics of it as is. Today he surprised me with a pretty much take or leave it offer. Told him I’d take it if he took Tundra as is. His trade offer was about $500 off from what I expected from private sale after I got the prep work done. I quickly determined $500 wasn’t worth the effort involved. Some FaceTime inside and out, questions and a few more pictures for his GM and it was agreed. He suggested and I accepted to use Honda financing 0.9% vs 3.64% from my credit union. Even did all the financing online. Just have to sign paperwork when he brings to truck.
Wife commented this may be our most time efficient vehicle purchase ever. Usually, even after agreement it takes hours. So easy to decline the extras on the phone LOL
Monday I have to transfer wife’s handicap plate as some bureaucratic change prevents dealership from doing.

Randy, I thought that might be what the emblem would say after not finding any individual numbers and the emblem for sale at mopar parts.
Emblems say "One of 4190" that is all the launch editions made each year. The number is from the area code (419) in Toledo the birth place of the Gladiator.
David I wish I could have done the entire deal of buying on the phone but I have to see what the new color looked like off computer monitor.
Now you can ice down a keg in the hidden compartment under the bed and have speakers blasting from the bed during your luaus.

Cheated, we opted for same exterior and interior as the Pilot.
Wife had also physically looked at one a couple weeks ago when she had Pilot serviced.
Not sure my Tap would fit, but I hear the speaker system is quite good.

Good evening all.35F for the start, clear sky, calm wind. Sky stayed clear, wind was light to moderate, and high temp was 62F. Bike ride this morning, departure delayed till 9 to avoid the coolest part of the morning. They put down new chip seal on most of the 2 1/2 miles that was falling apart, nice surprise 
nap then wife time.
Buckeye making nice progress. Nice pics
Drew, nice pics
Eric would the welding be on your tank cover?
Roy nice gun.
Don, hope plants not too damaged.
Rick was derrick moved on land or another barge?
Rick sound like a neat program to get kids acquainted with hunting and gun safety.
RNG more progress on van ! You be able to camp in it in no time
David, put both ECM ($1200), and BCM ($900) in the colorado, which is why it is gone.
Randy cute pic of Gracie, they can get spoiled in hurry.

Good morning.
11°F and going to a high of 28. Wind ENE 13 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.
A quick dump rub is in the cards, then go clean out a neighbours' driveway. After that, conserve energy.
Have a good day all

Bill, stay warm today. Nice the dump is open on a Sunday, ours is too in the afternoon. I just take recycling but even with just me, that accumulates quickly.
Lot of cardboard and the plastic bubble wrap inside Amazon packages, what little they put in there...
for you, a good reason for a little drive and get out of the house I bet.
David, congrats on new Honda. You got the nicest version so get ready to learn Honda Sensing. Beep beep beep....
Not sure you'll be able to use adaptive cruise much where you live. I rode in my friend's Ridgeline two days ago and continued to be impressed by it.
If you don't do a lot of towing, or just pull a one ton trailer, the Ridgeline is the current Swiss Army knife out there, does everything well.
I was pleased with my gas mileage on the trip. Usually I'm around 26 around town but this time, at 11k miles, and no a/c use, Q5 surprised me, never saw a 3 before...
at one point when I was in a long 55mph part with lots of radar police everywhere, doing 62, it got up to 34.5mpg. Slowing down from 72-74 really helps conserve gas but if you're on a 70mph road, you go with the flow. For full time awd SUV, I was very pleased with this economy

Sounds like you had more action than me, and I was hunting (opening day of gun season here). It was so windy, however, couldn't hear anything but the roar of wind in the trees, and leaves blowing off the trees.
So I gave up after a couple of hours and did some tractor 3 pt. implement shuffling so I would be better set up for firewood season, and then brought the load of rounds up to the splitter. Since I had to move the zero-turn to park an implement, I mowed a section of yard where the most leaves have accumulated, and let the strong north wind keep the dust south of me.

Good morning all
Wow, did you get the chance to see that impressive system in action ? Sounds perfect for a bit of fishing over a wreck in fast tides.
"The double-hulled vessel is self-propelled and capable of holding its position in open water in nine meter (30 feet) waves and 60 knot (70 miles per hour) winds"
