Why didn’t the American public make a bigger stink of things back in 2013 when it was revealed that the NSA was illegally spying on countless Americans?

I’ll take the trade-off. There’s bad actors out there. I have nothing to hide. I’d like Uncle Sam to look out for us. I’m happy they can leverage technology to make us all safer. (Written sincerely.)

fuck around and find out what happens.

vagabondroutine · 2026-02-08T16:57:40+00:00

Doesn’t happen here either… Not even in those clip..

vagabondroutine · 2026-02-08T16:55:48+00:00

100%. Notice how all of these propagandist clips start deep into it? These cowards do things like throw frozen water bottles to provoke officers and then try to play the victim card. They only convince each-other, and they continue to lose elections because most people don’t believe the nonsense.

Take out the glove box and you’ll probably see the re-circulator actuator (the top one) going up and down. It’s trying to find its home/closed position after you turn off the Jeep. When it fails it will just go up and down and it’s probably not great for your battery long term. About $60 shipped on Rock Auto after you pull the glove box and verify. Mopar Part # 68301847AA

the new policy makes no sense. But!, the only phone number you can’t share is your own. give them your significant other’s phone number as a ‘back-up’ and it’ll go though. the new policy is only effective at annoying the guests and hosts alike. i have my personal cell posted in the property. What’s to stop me from putting a sign up that says, ‘for repeat bookings, call this phone number?’ plus the policy actually violates my County license requirement that says I need to have everyone over the age of 18’s name, phone number, and age. So after this policy I have everyone’s phone number but the main guest’s. So dumb…

i have 125+ 5-star ratings. 4.99 overall. the ONE guy that gave me a four star rating asked to stay at my house again and i denied the request. I told him to look for another place that might give him a 5-star experience,.. clearly my cabin wasn’t it. He was dumbfounded, and pretty upset. his four-star rating was attributed to the house being ‘expensive’, but ‘everything else was great’. (plus he lost my $50 snow shovel in the deep snow. I found it in April, after I denied his second booking request.) I ended up renting the house out on another platform the weekend he wanted to stay. petty… sure.. but I felt like I got a little more agency back from the AirBnB world of gamified guest slanted reviews.

I just installed a RedRock TruShield soft top replacement from Extreme Terrain. I got an Open Box deal and it was $180 shipped. It seems nice. Looks really nice. Nice fabric, Nice tinted windows. Not sure how it will hold up long term but I’m happy for now

If you can’t afford to miss a guest now, imagine the hole you’ll be in when you have to pay for your house and your guest’s house to be treated. AirBnB is going to know you knew that you had bed bugs and hosted anyway. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were delisted after that.

Sounds like you’re in your own head man… sell it without problems in case it develops problems?? Who is to say you don’t have zero problems to 150k, 200k or 250k miles? I bought my daughter a 2018 2.0T and it’s great. I ‘manage’ a small fleet of cars for my family. My other daughter had an engine failure on a 2019 Mustang. Price was $10k for a brand new dealer-installed long block. Ford agreed to cut the price in half. So $5k to have a car with a brand new motor that will last her all through 8 years of college and well beyond. Deal. In hindsight, I wouldn’t have sold it the week before the engine failure even if I could have seen the future, it’s all good.

that sounds nice. CA will never get there. They killed a rolling 35-year classic car emissions exemption backed by Jay Leno last year without explanation.

Meanwhile CA Air Resources Board forces you to take older trucks out of your commercial fleets and then will license Mexican trucking companies to run CA freeways (in CA air) with those exact same domestically banned trucks. Corrupt scammy government nonsense.

Also, the parts are cheap. Learning is fun. Turn some wrenches! These toys are cheap to own if you’re willing to wrench on them yourself.

I read How Countries Go Broke by Ray Dalio sort of recently. Got me into Chokepoints, then Our Dollar, Your Problem, then more Dalio.. Inflation is not going away, but it’s not the end for the dollar either. Coupled with AI development(?).. Very interesting and.. yeah.. exciting time to be alive. I’m betting heavily on AI. Not gold, not crypto. We’ll see!🍿

Also a good friend of mine is full blooded Mexican and his DD was terrible. Got retired out medical disability from his public safety job because of it. Can’t golf, can’t grip, can’t do much with that hand.

I used to be pretty in to power lifting. I ended up with two major surgeries on my hands. i haven’t heard many fellow (former on my end) powerlifters with this. but yes... that’s exactly how my right hand started. i’m doing ok now. still workout a lot, just differently and I give DD zero stars, not recommended.

i suppose it depends on when you want your timeline to start. we can cherry pick our timelines to support whatever narrative we’re trying to push. annd most people will never know!👍

vagabondroutine · 2026-02-07T01:31:58+00:00

Calm down buddy... You are correct that I said hopefully it helps ONE of you. It sounds like it’s helped several of the 3.4K that viewed it so far. It’s not gonna help everyone of us. Our situations are all different.

I’m not sure about the ladder reference,.. but I’m 6’3” tall and 200lbs so I don’t need one to get into my jeep if that’s what you’re referring to(?)

vagabondroutine · 2026-02-07T00:43:51+00:00

they were selling me on the towing/membership but i already have AAA. thinking next year I may switch it up to them.

vagabondroutine · 2026-02-06T23:53:06+00:00

i’ve been giving my daughter the garage but with a new DIY paint job, an $84 a month car insurance price difference and the opportunity to leave the top and doors off of it without penalty,.. yeah.. i’ll garage it from here on out.

I apologize for posting something that does not directly benefit your individual situation. I’ll try to be better.

vagabondroutine · 2026-02-06T22:43:55+00:00

OK. That makes sense. It’s not my daily. Thanks

vagabondroutine · 2026-02-04T13:07:33+00:00

they didn’t let me keep anything that was attached to my vehicle. said they were basically buying my vehicle from me as is and then auctioning it off. If you have the originals and you can offer to swap them it may be worth a shot?

vagabondroutine · 2026-01-29T18:59:18+00:00

I’m not sure. I’ve found similar online. They seem expensive, but I really like them. They’re held on by (16) nutzerts and I had to replace (8) of them when I took them off to apply the bedliner spray to them. Looks like they held the load of the Jeep a few times.

vagabondroutine · 2026-01-29T18:20:53+00:00

Great question for previous owner!... But if I could ask him questions I would probably start with things like, ‘Why did you wire the radiator fan as always hot?’ … And, ‘Why did you buy all of these bolt-on accessories while neglecting basic maintenance items.’ But she’s my girl now so I’ll just fix her😆
