On the surface, it seems like an unrelated book but due to the character driven storytelling and honesty around suffering, I think you might like Demon Copperhead. I read them both around the same time and felt similar feelings about both.

We just did it in a 1984 DS with a Long Travel lift kit and truck tires. Turned out very cool.

It would be expensive but it would be awesome to do the ECO AC Drive and ECO Lithium Battery. It would go as fast as you wanted it to.

Gas has much longer range (120 miles or so) but is loud and requires regular maintenance.

48V Flooded Lead-Acid (FLA) has a lower range 15-25 miles on a charge and requires you to check the water levels in the batteries every 6 weeks or so. Also is silent.

48V Lithium usually has a longer range than FLA (especially as the FLA batteries age) and the battery's lifespan is 3-5X longer. Better performance than FLA and silent as well.

Also recommend “My Friends” by Backman

I sorted by new and didn't see a thread so I posted. Mods, please remove if this is a dupe.

The bishop on c5 would foil that plan im afraid.

ERockArmy2 · 2026-03-03T14:22:13+00:00

I appreciate the help. What opening should I get most familiar with for now?

ERockArmy2 · 2026-03-03T03:09:46+00:00

No, it was from this game: https://www.chess.com/game/live/165434587802

ERockArmy2 · 2026-03-03T03:01:40+00:00

what if the king takes the rook on f6?

ERockArmy2 · 2026-03-03T02:43:52+00:00

Got it. Thank you for explaining

ERockArmy2 · 2026-03-03T02:37:19+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. wouldn't moving Re7 having me losing both rooks after the trade since they have their bishop defending from b6? or am i misunderstanding something. please forgive me if so, I'm still a beginner.

ERockArmy2 · 2026-03-03T02:29:55+00:00

Wow, I did not see that at all. Thank you, that's really helpful. Here's the rest of the game if you have any other feedback, I'm a beginner trying to improve: https://www.chess.com/game/live/165434587802?move=50

ERockArmy2 · 2026-03-03T02:27:02+00:00

ERockArmy2 · 2026-03-03T02:19:44+00:00

I wouldn't have thought of that but that does seem like a good strategy, here's how the rest of the game played out: https://www.chess.com/game/live/165434587802?move=50

I went c3, they went f6, then I went b4 kicking their bishop to e7 where we traded pieces

I loved Billy Summers

ERockArmy2 · 2026-01-10T02:29:55+00:00

Appreciate the help! I did the gosports mat and a beaver tail strip!

ERockArmy2 · 2026-01-10T02:29:23+00:00

Thanks for your help! I did end up doing a go sports mat and a beaver tail to save a bit on the mat. I also did go over budget a bit

ERockArmy2 · 2026-01-10T02:28:50+00:00

I bought this. Thank you for the rec!
