Ah yeah. Missed y'all at Roundup. Some dumb sheets I’d rather not talk about. Hope it wasn’t too soggy for you.

Also, is that AJ @aljollano guiding you up?
It is AJ. He did such a great job guiding everyone that his son won best driver.

Well, super bummed I couldn’t go.
Glad it was good. Sorry to have missed meeting you.
I'll be around, we'll meet up at some point. It hailed like crazy and had thunderstorms for a good chunk of the event. I think that's why many did not go.
Absolutely! I just bought the 200 HE this is my second one. Had an LX600 for about a year but that didn’t work out for me….
Good on you. Wish I had one. Bought a 2019 4Runner TRD new and was looking at the Heritage Edition 200 series on the dealer lot. They wanted $5k over MSRP so I balked at it and went with the 4Runner. Nothing wrong with the 4Runner but I shoulda bought that 200. Hang on to it

Oof. Moist for sure.
I like that orange tent.
30+ year old Marmot tent that's still kicking, hung everything in a couple of trees and was good to go within a few hours. My Martin D-28 took a little more work when I got home Sunday but we all survived.
I respect the fact that you take your D-28 camping. I take my 25 year old Taylor 514C with me everywhere, it's been all over the world, and gig with it regularly. Always have to snicker a little at the guys that are afraid to take their nice guitars outside of the house and go buy a "cheap" guitar for gigging and campfires. I bought the guitar brand new to play it, not hide it in a case 'coz it's "too nice".
Well I suck and my gig audience is usually a couple of old dogs; it was a late in life ambition and I bought the darn thing to play it

In October it drove into winter storage. Today it drove out for the first time since then.
pardon me for being an idiot....... this is the way my 40 looks, I can't help but think i'm missing some sort of cover? Am I right and if so, what should I be looking for? 350 sbc w a 3 speed on the floor
Super impressed
Well it’s been a wonderful year exploring Colombia with the FJ43 and wouldn’t you know it was time for my annual inspection. So being the pro-active guy that I am, I took the Land Cruiser over to my mechanic for a pre inspection. “Technico-Mecanica” is what they call it here, it’s required to get your registration approved for another year. They check emissions, safety, ie, lights, seatbelts, horn, wipers, tires, braking, suspension etc. Plus you have to have the mandatory vehicle insurance. Well, I just wanted peace of mind and wanted to make sure it passed the first time. If you don’t pass they give you 30 days to fix all the faults and charge you again for the second inspection ($285.00) in my case. Once I arrived, my mechanic checked everything and then did the following. Removed the carburetor, cleaned and adjusted it, and replaced a few gaskets. Replaced the fuel filter, air filter, all the spark plugs. Performed an emissions test and I rolled out of there for $125.00. Needless to say I passed the inspection a first time go! Gotta love this country 
, the cost of living is incredibly affordable. Now I get another year to explore Colombia and then I’ll see you all on the road in the USA 
Cheers!
