    Is your mall crawler ready to go?

    If you pull a trailer with any reasonable frequency with a half ton, Sumo Springs are beyond worth it. This setup is very tongue heavy and with gear in the bed, I would normally be looking at 3-4in of squat. With the sumo springs, less than half that. Plus zero porpoising or sway on the...

    .54 is hanging like an ape

    Get a musket nipple and caps. They are 2-3x hotter than 11s and are so much easier to put on and take off the nipple. I had an older TC New Englander and it would occasionally hang with 11s but never once with musket caps.

    Weekend Libations

    The Weller full proof got my attention. I just got the white bottle. The FP is the last one I need to round out the full lineup.

    What's on the smoker today?

    Also try ice water. One part ice and one part water that has sat for a couple minutes and stirred right before you test the probe. Obviously should be right around 32-33

    A little humour for your day

    And how they bill the S out of you or have housekeeping knock like they are serving you a warrant if you are still in your room at 10:05. Yet very often they don’t have your room ready at 3PM.

    Jeep Talk

    You laugh but my wife’s 2019 is the berries when it comes to getting around town, parallel parking, garages, etc. The turning radius is def better than it should be. I have a quad cab long(er) bed Silverado with a 2in lift and there are many parking garages I can’t get into. And the turning...

    Jeep Talk

    You liked the Corsa over the Borla kit? What was your deciding factor? I love their axle back kit. The wife didn’t (her jeep) 😂.

    DB Encounters - share here

    Hunted Wyoming Region G a few years back. Hiked several miles back on public in a roadless area. Got back well before day light. About 5 minutes before shooting light three different groups of residents came zooming in on UTVs and setup on top of a bunch of folks, including me. I confronted...

    Blood Meridian - I Don’t Get It….(Spoilers)

    Quality post. Agree. I haven’t watched a single Tarantino film that I loved and with the exception of Pulp Fiction, I would have been ok if I hadn’t seen any of them. And it’s not the violence, I just find them to be dumb. The Dracula take is a good one. I’ll think on that some more...

    DIY velvet preservation

    I’ve done it four times and four different ways. First time I had no ideas what I was doing and I rubbed the with salt and baking soda. Shockingly it worked well, but I’d never do it again. Second time I used velvet lok spray. Ehh. Wasn’t impressed and everything smelled like their...
