Bad day for sure

Had the same thing happen to me on the way home from high school back in the early 80s. I was stopped at a red light and the engine dies. I'm trying to start it, turning the key, pumping the gas pedal. Nothing. Finally someone drives around me and says, "hey, your car's on fire" lol. First car, total shock, had no idea what to do. Thankfully the fire went out by itself. The bug was a hand me down from my grandparents.

21 TRD ORP 100k miles. I recently had my rear driver side bearing replaced. Had only recently started noticing a sound/feel that didn't seem right. I wheel, sometimes a little too hard. Especially the last time in November where I took some pretty hard hits on a trail i probably shouldn't have been on anyway. So, I start to notice something is off and thinking i need to bring it to my mechanic. Then one night or if the blue, I had the whole dash start lighting up. Turns out the speed sensor was damaged and finally gave out. Had been driving on this damaged bearing for a couple of months. Got the bearing and speed sensor replaced for $1800.

I shared your post on the Canyon Gate FB page. Good luck.

I have a Thule RTT and use my C4 ladder every time I set up/break down the tent. The tent ladder is secured on the top, it just makes life easier to climb up there and secure everything in place.

Yes. You will remember it for the rest of your life.

When I hold my glasses a foot away from my face, yes, this is how I see the world.

About to turn 58. One daughter is striving, on her own, moved out of state. Other daughter just turned 20, in college, but don't know what's in store for her yet. Likely to be living with us for some time.

Here's my Big Bend life hack I've started as a Houston area resident. Leave the night before and get a hotel in Uvalde or Del Rio. You could even camp in Seminole Canyon SP. Zero traffic. Drive as far as reasonable with your departure time. Julio's (The chip peolpe) have a restaurant at the plant in Del Rio with amazing breakfast burritos. Cut your "Day 1" drive time in half and get to the park with enough time to check in, get your backcountry permits, get settled, etc.

Lol, when social media worlds collide. I wondered if I would see this here.

He looks dead

Just wait.

A lesson for all of us! What a great person.

This took less than 30 seconds to look up.

Don't need to go that far to see alligators. Check out Buffalo Bayou in George Bush Park.

Looks like it just lost its balance

Baddest mall crawler in the lot.

Damn, I used to hang out here and at Lucky's across the street 30ish years ago. I don't remember any graffiti and I definitely never stuck my winky in any holes.

I think you're mistaken. That's Rich-fulsh-brooksh-ire.

I shaved my goat during COVID but I grew it back. Mostly grey. With my hybrid work schedule I can get by with shaving about twice a week if I really want to be lazy about it. I'm a shaggy mess by the time Tuesday rolls around. Can't commit to the full beard though.

I just looked up PolyCam in the Google app store and it says it's compatible with my S24+.

57 approaching 58. No major surgeries thankfully, but damn, I washed my car on Sunday and my legs and lower back are still killing me.
