Two old ONSCers met at a brewery near Mt Rainier today..... great seeing you @addicted56

A more interesting view of the eclipse

Mostly finished product for the motel sign. I'm stoked with how it has come out. Please ignore the caulk ooze. Til that a new tube of caulk can go bad in less than a year.

Downtown Cary this weekend:

Seal Team ready to deploy

New rig being delivered last Sunday Going to live its entire life off road

Lydia and I went exploring in the URE's yesterday. Started out with BLT's from the Outpost then proceeded to to find the Big Rocks that we had heard about. We were not disappointed! After driving the service road down to almost the Narrows...

New milestone! This is my 2009 Tacoma Prerunner. I bought it used in 2011 with 75k on it. I got a decent deal on it since it had high miles for a two-year-old vehicle. This is by far the most reliable vehicle I have owned. It only left me...

Dude that was me!

8-Bit Truck

There was and still is a huge Indian artifact site still up on Kodak. I have been on it about 100 times now. The real justification of closing Kodak was that and the following. The Trail was too wide. Remind you of anything right now on...

Made some progress…

Updated Pic after a few mods.

I was thinking back to Tellico more than anything. Probably just my own PTSD and the USFS is doing the right thing here. Despite my lack of use of URE in recent years, I hope to get back at it one day.

I’m working on this old thing a little at a time.

IIRC Kodak was a "temporary" closure too.

I love cutting things. Glued in the steel, cut the hole, cut and formed the new panel, and slid it in between the sheets. @Hokie LX had a brilliant idea of making this a little mini diorama around the sign, so that's definitely happening.

Time to start upgrades on the motel again after a year off. So I started cuttin'.

The Heidts front suspension for the Mercedes arrived this morning. It is like Xmas around here the last couple days!

Been using an Eastwood hand crank bead roller for a while. Just added this Mitler Bros 36" adjustable bead to the shop.

"Temporary" closures are always scary.

Getting off 40 onto 15-501 just now. I was in my 100. Nice looking truck. No ONSC sticker that I saw in my limited view.
