I have a ton of space if there was a drop-in battery and cooling system that’d replace the floor of the bed/hang under the cargo area above the rear axle in my Scout 800... there’s additional room for batteries/cooling units where the Saddle-style OG fuel tanks are, and an absolutely cavernous engine bay by today’s…

Seeing the vintage of the donor vehicle above, I can see why they’d want to do the mods they did... though they could’ve done far, far better in my mind.

Turning every trail it flumbers upon into silt.

I’d love to see the tow rig that’s capable of dragging a 9500lb. brick sideways up a steep wash 30 miles from nowhere, and a screenshot of the bill for recovery.

This officer is blowing the whistle in N.Cal... every department nationwide needs to have their books opened up and heavily scrutinized.

I can’t wait for the game of ping-pong that Hertz and tesla will play with the courts as to who’s at fault when the first wave of injured/stranded/crashed lawsuits hit.

I have a neighbor in lower wine country who street-parks his year-old BMW M3 due to his model why taking up a garage space. Their driveway is such a decline they don’t park on it.  I get nervous for the guy when I see the local kids onewheeling a couple feet away.

The number of new Defender’s I see in wine country shouldn’t be surprising, but it always is... and quite a few look like they’ve seen more action than vineyard parking lots.

I’ve seen a surprising number of Mach-E’s in the North Bay area, no ID4's yet... but I did see my first Bronco 4 door and have to say I’m not really impressed. It’s rather like a star-wars version of the jeep commander, and I hated that thing.

I kept the tri-fuel 55oow backup genny after replacing it with a solar/battery system solely for the ability to use my welder & plasma cutter remotely if I need to.

“That’s a High-C on the high seas... Yeeeaaa!”  

Ruralish North Bay here... I can sit on my deck at night & hear cars around the vineyards and orchards doing burnouts/one man sideshows as soon as it gets dark. I know exactly where it’s happening as evidenced by the black marks and chunks of tire I find on my morning drive. The town police are aware, but it’s the…

Looking at CA from a MN native who moved to the North bay three years ago, fire season is intimidating. We had no issue getting home insurance, other than since we bought our home its value has almost doubled & we were required to have a security system. Our home insurance includes having a crew visit our property (if…

The reforestation initiative shows direct promise, as does planting massive Kelp beds in areas the oceans are rapidly acidifying. Reducing heat islands in cities is another focus that’s getting more attention, green spaces and heat-reflective road coatings are two avenues of improvement I’ve seen promotion for.

I’ve been horrified at the idea of introducing a new being to this planet since the very early 2000's.  I’m not regretting my personal decisions, but my wife has brought up fostering or adoption of an older child or pair of siblings, which still hasn’t had a proper conversation since we moved states.  Adulting sucks…

We sold my father in law’s stake in Fairbanks after he passed. We found plenty of reasons to visit though, mostly in the winter. The thought of living in a similar climate as I did growing up in northern MN isn’t a choice I’d rationally make. It’s fine when you’re younger, but even dealing with twin cities winters got…

I had a Perkins mech. F.I. in an old Hyster fork truck I needed rebuilt a few years ago...$5k for a full rebuild & reseal with a three-month turnaround.  Mid-70's vintage IIRC.

Having Bill Murray show up at St. Paul Saints games was always a treat when he was in town.

Why not storm the capitol and smear shit on the walls?

Let’s be fair... the Emerald mine was a straight-up trade for He-Lon’s family’s Private Jet they weren’t using any longer.
