Daily postings of interesting news, photos and other commentary. Maybe even the occasional rant. And some Jeep stuff too. And as always, I will continue to reveal the treacherous actions of the snakes.

OK now that we have covered that . . . . . .

Quick update:

The new armour plating on the Jeep is complete, except I am going to to make Maaco touch up a couple spots that they missed. Pictures as soon as I can remember to get both my Jeep and camera in close proximity.

The "brain" of my Jeep is currently sitting on a workbench in Wisconsin . . . . being upgraded. The Jeep still runs w/o it, but the suspension system is static.

Spent 4-5 days in N.C. It was a working trip .. . . but I did find the time to teach the nephews how to play Texas Hold 'em.

It would seem I am playing some sort of Kickball drinking game tomorrow. I sure there will be a follow up story there.

Cherrio - have a good weekend everyone!

TJ-
Good luck in the kickball tourney. I just did the dodgeball tourney with the TB Sports League and there were lots of shots taken, but few involved hurling a dodgeball.

Double ewwww!

What kind of upgrades are they doing to the brain? I bet writing software to control an off-road suspension system is fun!

The added short cuts/hot buttons to various functions, made the system react faster and more precisely, and made it so that it shows the % lift status for each corner when in manual control mode . . . . . yeah . . . its cool!
