    Tamale recipes???

    Just a couple weekends ago I went with my closest friend from highschool back home to our homecoming football game (our team got destroyed) and then to his grandmother's birthday party. If we go back in time almost 30 years [sfx: Wayne's World flashback]... I've been eating tamales and loving...

    What's your idea of a minimalist camping trip?

    I'm building 2 sets of camping stuff. One is for Jeep based camping and while not a bunch of stuff, it includes a bigger tent, cot, regular camp stove, an action packer full of stuff, etc. The other collection is for carrying on my motorcycle - a Yamaha V Star 1300 cruiser. This is my attempt...

    night vs day riding

    I prefer driving the Jeep at night for much the same reasons you do. If it weren't for the lack of visibility for road hazards and animals (and people seeing me), I would also prefer to ride my bike at night. However, in the interest of staying alive, I try to do most of my riding during the day.

    Random Scenic Shots

    A picture I took last month near Platoro, Colorado. And kind of a creepy picture of my dad.

    Meat Grinder: How to buy?

    My brother and I use an LEM that I got on clearance at Academy for our sausage making. It's very easy to use and clean. Definitely was a worthwhile purchase. We use the stuffing attachment on it as well. The only thing we've noticed is that meat tends to build up along the auger and behind the...

    Your pick for a solid guitar throne in the outback!

    I've got a couple "kick-around" guitars that are my throw in the Jeep and go guitars. They're decent enough, but not my gigging gear so if something horrible happens to them, I'm not going to get too upset. If my Yairi got crunched I would really be sad as I can't afford to replace it anytime...

    Arizona Traverse: Who will be the first moto to complete the route?

    Hey Kermit! When did you come back?! Very cool to see your name here again!

    Headlight Modulator

    Ah - I'll check that. I'm blocked from work, but I will check when I get home. Thanks - I didn't know about that. Edit - I just changed the settings - hopefully it will be visible now.

    Headlight Modulator

    Strange - it works on all 3 of my computers. It's a link from Facebook - maybe you have that blocked or something?

    The mother of all camp cups?

    I like! I lack the skill, technology, equipment to make anything like that so I'd probably be interested in such a thing.

    Biological survey in the Sierra Madre Occidental

    That was a nice article, Jonathan. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed the violin piece as well.

    Headlight Modulator

    http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150258108689261 If this worked, this is the modulator on my V Star 1300 just after I installed it.

    Headlight Modulator

    I agree. I've put quite a few miles on since installing mine and it definitely gets noticed. Well worth the relatively low price.

    Tonight's Dinner Will Consist Of........

    While camping last week we cooked up some pretty good stuff. Probably the single best meal was also one of the easiest. Found Hatch chiles for .61 a pound and bought a bunch of them. Roasted them over the campfire and then made tacos for breakfast - scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and a bunch...

    The Perfect Brew........!

    I found a pretty good beer last week in Colorado. Went to the San Luis Valley Brewing Company in Alamosa and tried the Valle Caliente. Very clean tasting lager, extremely refreshing with an awesome little hit of green chile to finish. I bought all they had to bring home with me. That was 4...

    WTB drivers side lens PIAA P-4000

    Good day. I hit a deer yesterday morning and while my ARB bumper did its job protecting me and the Jeep (no damage at all from about a 65 mph hit), the PIAA P-4000 in the bumper suffered. It looks like all I need is the lens for it. Rather than spend $60 to buy one from Summit or another...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    I put a Yakima Sparetime bikerack on my Jeep today! Ummm... the pic is sideways. The rack isn't.

    Passed...

    Cool. I was planning to take the test Saturday but life interfered with that plan, so I'll try to get the one in September. I've had my radio installed in the Jeep for awhile now, just haven't been able to do anything more than turn it on and listen. My dad (W3WFE) gave me the West book and I've...

    Do Jeeps have feelings?

    I've been thinking about this quite a bit since I bought my motorcycle and have been riding it almost every day. I park it right next to my Jeep and I sometimes think the Jeep looks sad. So I give him some attention from time to time. I just bought him a new CB antenna and installed my Blitz can...

    Headlight Modulator

    I have a modulator coming in the mail. I bought an LED brakelight and I'll see what kind of difference it makes. It was fairly inexpensive, so if I don't like it, I'll just put the other bulb back in. I also have a Hyper-Lite LED brake/running light system coming in the mail. I've been looking...
