Nice deal you got and good thing dealer honored the original price. What happened with the window, leaking? It's in pretty good shape considering the age and mileage on it.
That was cool and well done! I would never have figured out a solar energy generation facility, never seen that before. I like the part with the restroom experience, do they really want to know? How often do you have to travel for business?
A little late to this thread but I have to say that is some pretty interesting site seeing trail driving. The mine looked a little scary to me. Looks like some fantastic scenery along the trail.
If they can figure out these people are extremists, why can't they check them out before letting them into the country? It doesn't take a genius to figure out these extremists will try to blend in with other refugees.
Wow, those are some impressive scenes. Good for you! That is something I'd love to do. My wife would probably be sick of me a week into the trip. Where is your next adventure taking you?
Aodhan, that's a nice set up you've built! I like the way everything sits in it's own section and you seem to have more room to spare. Everything is within easy reach.
After retiring, I'd buy a 4runner for both kids and the wife too! Buy a cottage somewhere quiet on a nice lake. Give money to the kids, my brother and the wife's parents. Donate to charities.
