Trying to get over being sick. The lingering cough sucks. I felt good enough to go to the range with my son to function test my freshly re-barreled AR-10 in 6.5 Creedmore and zero a few of his guns, but not good enough to train for IDPA/USPSA styles of shooting. After the range, we took our dogs to the field to exercise them. He’s the reason I have my Land Cruiser. I had an ‘83 Toyota pickup that I purchased new. I sold it to my dad with 165,000 mi on it. He drove it for years. While he had it, a city bus sideswiped the bed. He ended up selling it to my sister. She drove it for a long time, and a couple of my nieces and a nephew learned to drive it. My dad bought it back, and I finally got it back from him with the intention of it becoming a father-son rebuild project. My son learned to off-road in it. When he came home on a break from West Point, he convinced me that if we bought a Land Cruiser, we would have 2/3 of a convoy that we might see in Afghanistan or Iraq. He’s been loyal to Toyota ever since that first pickup. He is convinced that he will drive his Tundra forever. I believe him.
) - once everything was finished I took her out to dinner. She hasn't been in my 80 other than to start it when I kept it at her place to make sure the battery was good...the last 80 series she was in was my dad's '94 before someone made an illegal turn in front of him and it was totaled. And she loved how that '94 rode. She also loves the way the 60 rides that's in her driveway...but she commented how comfortable my 80 is...and that's with stock 1997 suspension and 222,xxx miles!
