It’s not long for this world
I was a bit concerned about the issues my truck has been having the last thousand miles or so, and I figured I should at least have it looked at sooner rather than later. I took it into a local shop and they got it up on the lift. The prognosis was, “It’s (the U-joint) not long for this world.” Continue reading It’s not long for this world

I made it!
I arrived at RTR around 5pm local tonight. Took the bike, rode around for a bit to find a good spot to park, moved the rig, unhitched, and started getting settled in. I’m exhausted. Continue reading I made it!
