    Rough River '24! (2I3, 4/26/24 - 4/28/24

    It's in GA, too.. Not that we're coming, but just sayin' that the Cheerwine market has expanded over the years.

    A letter from the Southeast United States

    Exact sentiment that my other connection had when he moved south. I think the "You can't drive your boat on the lake" was the nail in the coffin for him (even though he didn't have a boat) - but there were plenty of other nails ahead of that one. He's outside the Knoxville area now.

    A letter from the Southeast United States

    Or in the left lane (or any lane, really) driving 20mph under the speed limit with their flashers on when it starts raining. I have a guy on my team that moved from your area to TN in 2020 to escape the madness in MI. What's the MI-TN connection with everyone!?

    Man. Y'all need to get new calendars.

    Thinking about - er bought - a Jeep Gladiator

    I've been hearing a lot of good things about Falkens lately. My dad put them on his truck a few years ago before we drove it to MT and back and they did well in that situation and in the snow in the mountains. One of the overlanding families that we follow on YT has switched from BFGs and GYs to...

    We're back.... did ya miss us?

    I mean... if you're going to build a colony there, wouldn't that be one of the first things you would want available?

    Henning gone west

    Well darn. Henning was one of the 'old school' red board dudes that migrated through all the pilot social media frenzy years ago. I'm sure he went out with his boots on.

    Thinking about a Bus/RV

    [thread creep] When I worked in retail ag supplies, we had to deliver (and retrieve) anhydrous trailers to/from farmers' fields. It was always fun 1.) Hooking up tandem 1000 gal tanks and REALLY fun if 2.) the farmer had left the empty in an akward spot where you had to back up to get out of...

    Tax prep?

    My biggest gripe with TT is the constant (and sometimes covert) attempts to upsell beyond the standard service. Their UI is pretty straightforward and seems like it's gotten a little better every year. Of course, I don't go off into the weeds of depreciated assets and capital gains/loss type...

    Tax prep?

    Heh. I was just looking around and out of all the PCs (4 laptops + 1 desktop), I don't think we have a CD drive in any of them. How/when did that happen!?

    Tax prep?

    Yeah. I was about to say that I don't remember the last time I actually installed TT on my PC. It's been online for quite a while now.

    Reserving N numbers… these companies suck!

    And now the FAA adds 300 heads (10 people doing the work, 20 people supervising, 30 people 'managing', and then 240 HR reps) to their budget to open those checks and process the forms - open the form and type it into the now publicly inaccessible website.

    Tax prep?

    My new employer provides tax services if we have worked in 3 or more states, since we have state taxes withheld based on where we log our hours (and yes, it does check - if you have travel or expenses booked to a specific state and then try to log time to a different state, it flags it when you...

    Reserving N numbers… these companies suck!

    I know some large airliner manufacturers associate their financials and material and manufacturing planning against a specific tail number, so that tail number is actually 'in use' for a long time before the actual assembled flying machine rolls off the end of the line. In the OP, I don't think...

    6Y9 2023 Fly in/camp out

    That's the plan. And, not to scare anybody, but there are MORE of us since the last time we were there! We'll be bringing our 12 and 10 y/o boys along. Gotta get IR current between now and then to increase the odds of success, but it's in the works!

    Thinking about an EV (nvm, bought one)

    IIRC, the original contractor went belly-up mid-project. Also, there may have been something about the project not being grandfathered in via old regs and had to change course mid-project for new regs. But yeah.. Pretty embarassing to get $B's off budget.

    And at the Twin.. err Lone Pine Mall.

    Thinking about an EV (nvm, bought one)

    My wife's typical 'mission profile' would fit an EV almost perfectly. I can even get on board with needing to somewhat plan ahead for the few times that we would exceed the range of a full charge. What I can't get over, though, is the holistic environmental impact of the car. I'm far from what...

    Thinking about - er bought - a Jeep Gladiator

    I'm really curious to hear about your experience. We had a rental 4DR Wrangler Sport in Utah over Thanksgiving 2020. They gave us the option of a Gladiator, but when I peeked inside, it looked smaller than the Wrangler, so we went with the Wrangler. We took that Wrangler to places they really...

    6Y9 2023 Fly in/camp out

    Don't want to jinx it, but it looks like we should be able to make it back up there this year (2024)! Our usual Labor Day weekend family vacation is getting superseded by my parents doing a different trip this year. When they said "Well... The thing about this trip is that it will be over Labor...
