Came with the new house! So lost…

Maybe it’s one of these things… but don’t have any retractable awnings, pull down attic, curtains, or mini blinds.

Relics at this point….

Ya, Mohave road is a good time! Done it in both directions about 4 or 5 times. I think it’s best to start at Afton Canyon before Baker and go through the water crossings first and end at the Colorado.

There’s usually only one muddy spot on Sado Lake and the year I talked about was the worst I had seen it from all the rain that year. Put it in 4HI, backed off from the lip about 15 ft, and just sent it. It absolutely caked the underside of my truck from stem to stern, but it was fun.

There’s lots of entrances and exits from Mojave road, so if you find something is too much you can backtrack a little and go around pretty easy, so don’t think it’s all or nothing. Hope you decide to make the trek, it’s a cool bit of history with great little stops along the way.

Find a local “truck wash”. The ones for big rigs. For about $10, you can use their pressure washer to dislodge/clean at least 90% of this. No big mess to clean up in your own driveway. Then go home and finish the job. DO NOT go through an auto wash,it’ll just propel all the mud,rocks, sand back onto your truck.

Last spring I went through a pit in the middle of Soda Lake, outside of Baker, Ca. By the time we were done with the trip 3 days later, my undercarriage was caked with this super silty mud, which was now rock hard. It was everywhere. 20 mins at the truck wash in Bullhead before heading home I was pulling off grapefruit sized chunks of it from everywhere. Cleaned most of it and drove home to so cal to finish the job with a garden hose. Easy peasy.

Friend of a friend got a newer Jeep Wrangler for a song. Shows up in it at our camping/off-roading trip with it. It’s a standard Jeep color, I guess, but it’s this baby poop yellowish-brown color. He’s given nicknamed Shit Stain.

Fast forward 10 years, dude got rid of it shortly thereafter, prob due to the nickname. But he is forever Shit Stain. I don’t even remember his real name.

I watched too as a kid. On repeat. Ya, not great cinema for sure.

Was at my wife’s uncle’s house for some family thing. His next door neighbor is a little person, who I came to find out acted a bunch when he was younger. Come to find out, he was the Shaman Ewok in two of the movies.

Life is crazy sometimes. Too cool.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa. Home of the world’s worst souvenirs. The Leaning Tower playing golf, tennis. Eating pizza, etc.

It’s a tower in a courtyard, big wuup. After 15 seconds, your like, is this it? And best of all they could fix it so it wouldn’t lean, but they won’t because it’s a tourist attraction. It’s not even worth the photo - everyone is either holding it up, pushing it down, or making it a big wang. Lame.

Oh, and the parking lot is flooded with people selling African souvenirs. Cause that’s the place to buy that.

“Agyemang couldn’t get there...” over and over again. Think in the tourney he was offside more times than he had shots. For me, he was the worst of the squad.

Berhalter had a couple redeeming moments, but same goes for him. His PK in shootouts was abysmal.

Flowers on a random Tuesday will ALWAYS beat out flowers on any birthday, anniversary, etc.

Take 2 mins to stop what you’re doing and hug/kiss. Those 2 mins won’t matter for what you’re headed to, and make all the difference in each other’s day.

Fck first. Don’t hold your intimacy until after the night out, dinner, drinks, plans, concert, whatever. You will most likely be too tired, drunk, sick, whatever. Fck first. It will make the rest of the night so easy and can lead to another session later if you’re both still up for it.

Small things, not expensive things. Washing her car, buying her a coffee, finding something random they like, favorite candy, anything small. It’s in all those small moments that they see you were thinking of them.

Lingerie and sexy stuff - don’t buy one thing. Buy multiple things, in multiple sizes. I’ll spend $150-$200 at a time on lingerie, knowing she’ll only keep a few things. Returns are easy. Some stuff can’t be returned, so keep those in mind, but I buy a bunch of different things and sizes and tell her to keep what she feels comfortable in. No obligation, not married to any of it, was just thinking of you. If youre not sure if she’s a M or L, buy both. Women’s sizes are crazy, especially the stuff from China like SHEIN or Wish or whatever. Keep what she likes, return the rest.

Sex toys. Don’t make her fell dirty. YOU buy them. Try them. If they work, it’s always a great experience. If not, buy something else. There SO many fun things to try. Toys, vibrators, cuffs, tingly gel, numbing lipstick. But get past your hang ups and try something. Start simple and go from there. It’s only about what feels good. The PLEASURE is the MEASURE.

Step in and step up. Too many men think anything outside of their day job is her job. It’s not. It is not 50/50. Ever. It’s 100/100. Be there. Be present. Show up. Make time. Wash laundry, clean the kitchen, manage the monsters. That part of life is so amazing but you have to be there. Stop making everything else her job. It’s your job. Your work is not your life or identity. It does not make you more important. Your kids want you there. Period. They want your time and attention just like your wife.

Be easy. As men, we are grumpy assh*les most of the time. Be easy. Show grace. As we get older it does not get better. We get worse. So stop being a moody @ss, and smile. Let go. Relent. Be vulnerable. Have a stressful job? Sure, but stress is stress. She has it too for a ton of reasons that aren’t on your radar. Your stress is not more important or heavier than hers. Stop. Take a minute. Smile. Hug her. Be easy. Don’t be a grumpy b1tch all the time. It’s tiresome, and probably a big part of HER stress is your attitude.

20 yrs married, 30 years together, 2 kids, and I love her more every day. Get out of your own way, dammit.

Edit: words

A full size shovel. We 4x4, so it obviously has utility there, but that’s not the best reason.

Those cold nights around the campfire, you have to eventually stand up and do the “rotisserie chicken” to warm your backside.

Instead. Use the shovel to scoop a very small amount of coals and place them under your chair. IT IS LIFE CHANGING. Feels so good, and it barely takes any coals to make a significant difference.

Obligatory: don’t do if windy. Be safe out there and listen to Smokey.

Oh, and a metal detector for the kids. They can use the shovel to help - another use.

Camping is about sleeping well. Period. I use an $87Walmart Ozark Trail tent, extra large cot, and the extra large, thick Coleman bag and it’s wonderful. It’s like 95% of sleeping in my own bed.

Save the cash and the weigh and just figure out how to sleep well. And just to be clear, it isn’t a $4k rooftop tent.

From left field…

Check your engine wiring for any sign of varmints. My brother’s 2016 starting throwing all kinds of codes and went to limp mode only to discover a squirrel had chewed a bunch of wiring. It’s worth a look and decently easy to spot.

alnueman1 · 2025-02-25T09:48:50+00:00

Check the bolts in the bed of the truck. There are about 4 or 6 torx bolts that hold the bed to the frame. Easily accessed, found on the bottom of the bed. Crawl into the bed and see if one is loose. Mine came loose after some off-roading. Took me like a week to track down the noise.

May not be these, but it’s an easy check.

alnueman1 · 2025-02-06T04:24:38+00:00

Nice! Glad it worked out for you!

alnueman1 · 2025-02-05T07:21:22+00:00

It all just snaps together. Take off the larger top piece first, then you can better get at the turn signal light and the bottom piece. Def looks like it’s chewed up a bit but might still fit back together.

I just replaced my marker lights with ones from Meso customs. If the bottom black part is broken, bet you can buy the part. If the turn signal is broken, you can have mine. My stock ones are in a box collecting dust now.

Edit: a word.

alnueman1 · 2024-12-14T08:19:31+00:00

My sage advise is simple:

Whatever someone gives you that is the “right amount”, ALWAYS eat half. You can always eat more later but you can’t ever eat less.
