We were up at Wintergreen just before halloween doing the Nat'l park drive and other sights up that way - stopped down to Waynesboro - Lost City and that crazy pawn/junk/everything you would ever look for shop. It was... interesting.

It was a good trip - Ankida Ridge is a special place for sure - Amazing wine, good people to converse with and they had a great food truck there - Carbon Catering. Never thought I would get a NY Strip from a food truck - but I did and it was definitely in my Top 5. The event at Ankida wound...

Mark me down for any upcoming things - I'm in Norfolk.

Taking a trip out to Ankida Ridge Vineyard in Amherst, VA from Norfolk today to pick up some wine club wine. Also stopping somewhere to get some apples (Pink Lady). Be on the lookout for a 94 Emerald Green 80.

So, found out the PO of my truck had passed back in 2020. His name was Jon aka ThirstySteer over on the FJBruisers site. He was really active in the FJ community. Here's a fun story when I met him to buy the truck back in 2015. I had found the FJ Bruiser forums and was going through their...

Checked my nuts, new O2 sensors, installed 2 new side mirrors, satin blacked the lower 1/5th of the cab... the rust brown was unsightly. Weekend trip coming up and just getting the ol' girl in shape. The truck is coming along too. Helpful hint on the mirrors - Before unbolting the mirror...

I emailed with the West System technical department. Basically... get down to clean metal, apply Ospho, let dry. Sand with 80 grit to shiny metal just before applying epoxy in thin coats with a foam roller/brush. Ospho can stay in any pitting and this isn't a problem. When epoxy has cured...

On the other hand... I have a couple gallons of West System epoxy I need to use up and might as well use something we know is going to last.

Beautiful... One of the things I did on mine before throwing them back on was to file some of the sharp casting lines/flash.

On my truck I pulled those rocker plugs and water came out.... would that be due to the sunroof drains? I sheep dipped TF out of the rockers after discovering that.

Might help preserve the hood paint a bit too, especially if you have no underhood insulation (which I need to get...)

While it is amusing to see... and my inner 12 year old applauds them... It was rather reckless given that it was about 15 feet from a stout oak tree, 15 feet from the ass end of my CLS550 and jeopardized the precious 94... A bad swerve could have been pretty interesting. Nevermind the...
