Currently mid-80s F here. Open sunroof weather! Can't do that much in the summer as you can spontaneously combust.

Good to see a Tanto sighting!

If it keeps snowing as hard as it is in the mountains I’ll be riding the sled next weekend!!!

Better to find it while parked than driving at speed! I hope your day goes well.

My wife used my Ute yesterday evening, I asked this morning if she noticed it was flat. She said no idea, the alarm didn’t go off.
My Ute doesn’t have an air pressure alarm…

I dread jumping in her car, it’s a like a disco, alarms going off everywhere, blinking lights all over the dash and red lining an empty tank.

cool rig though

 

[Lorien]

am I alone in thinking that the transformation of media/news/journalism/opinion has made people complicit in the negative trajectory of the quality of their lives?

We talk about health, as in food- and that it's 'garbage in garbage out'. I understand that, it's just consequence in action, every day and every moment.

So why not consider health from the mental standpoint? Front and center, since we always seem to talk about it in hushed tones. Too easy, also, to just throw 'crazy' around and be like 'shit's crazy, huh'?

We gotta start thinking about and talking about and confronting the fact that too many people's minds are constantly digesting the mental equivalent of a gas station hotdog.

Too many serious players spewing garbage- vitriol, hatred, fear; all the addictive hits. Give the masses their boogeymen, so they're so distracted by delusion that they can't see the reality that's staring them in the face- that they are being exploited.

The guillotine's time is coming, I predict. Eventually the veil is drawn, the people have suffered enough, and the Emperor is suddenly naked.

Yes it is cool!

Speaking of that, ahem Hatchet_Jack , I know by this point we are pretty much best friends. How about you scoop up a few of these

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2025-toyota-imv-0-pickup-truck-first-drive-review-japan-mobility-show/

and send them to the U.S.? Maybe a CPK group buy? I'd be in for a no frills $10,000 truck.... Plus without driving one, looks to be an upgrade from the 94 Ranger.

Thanks in advance!

“When in doubt, cut it out” - motto of most surgeons and good practice imho.

We would say(and perhaps do) this during anatomy lab so the professor couldn’t use whatever it was as a test question during the practical.

My own Ute was a Toyota hilux, but when I got this job they provided a vehicle for personal use so I sold it.
If I ever have too much money (fat chance) I’d buy a v8 Toyota Land Cruiser.

Work has a deal with Ford so we drive Rangers. Gets the job done.

I wish we could get some of them cool smaller (and cheaper) pickups that are offered in the rest of the world.

And no, you're not alone.
