My neighbors dog seems to be going through some digestive issues. He seems to like to eat plastics as well. He is a Catahula. Large goofy dog. We went through a few Dachshunds before I got my Black Lab. Read it forward, she became my mothers dog and I wasn't allowed to keep her. I was told that...

Blackdawg I sort of have to ask. I've been around black or black and tan dogs for around 55 years and our group still has 3 Black Labs, pure bred or mixes. Do you actually have a black dog? I'm not much of a horse person but I helped out a lady friend set up a winter enclosure for her loaner...

I may be a strange person but I remember our first dog when I was about 6 YO. A Dachshund and she was standing on the back deck of the '55 Pontiac warning off other drivers. Used dog that we got because she was biting the children messing around with her pups. I go over to the neigbors house and...

Life goes on and you just try to deal with it as best that you can, however I can on a good day call up tales about the dogs over my years and I actually have several dog lovers that want to enjoy what I have typed out about them in my life. The bad, I have had to deal with 4 suicides around my...

Duncan was a good friend but he passed a few years ago from Hep C. I have lots of tales about him and about others I have been friends with over the years. I rarely tell about Duncan and his drug crazed friend out with a .357 shooting out streetlights in SF at night or him out with a .444 Marlin...

I can't say that I have ever hit anything larger than a Phesant on the road. My friend Duncan grew up in the bay area and they moved to Idaho to get his family back to the land. He worked in the tiny hospital at night as a janitor to fund his way through schooling to get his degree as an...

It looks like a great trip. Lot's easier to get there from your side of the state vs my many hour drives to get there, even if I have been doing them for over 30 years. Top of Onion Creek would have gotten you into the Rose Garden IIRC. This wouldn't be the time of year to attempt it. Lockhart...

You did well for a first road trip. They can get to be addictive so carry on to see more places and keep on with the pictures.

We went through a period where everybody needed to own a boat. The boat/ camping shows were always fun to see what is new that they expected us to get sucked in on. I almost bit once for a pontoon boat. 36' 350 Chevy IO, all the things you would want or need on it. I got somewhere towards smart...

RV and boat shows are fun to wander around in to see how the people with deep pockets can spend silly amounts of $. Back in the '90, 2000s's everybody had a motorhome. Some up into the $850.000.00 range and always came to bragging rights at times. How many batteries, water and waste thank...

You people have some great vehicles but I am biased. My formative years were spent in things like Suburbans and Travelalls. Sigh, shuffle, shuffle. I suppose I'll just have to make do with I own.

Not vehicle specific but in my 3B I carry about everything in a big tool box that doubles as a rear seat. About as many tools and parts as are in my garage. I think I've dug a screwdriver out of it but other friends seem to like the fact that everything is in camp for them to do repairs. It...

Nice work guy and good for your father for knowing how to do lead work A few years ago I spent a few months welding in new metal on my 3B and I was serious about wanting to do lead as it would be more in line for a '61 Jeep. Nobody knew how to do it around here anymore. I made do with Bondo and...

You do some good trips and write them up well but you really weren't in mud. If you are really in mud if you think about a shovel to clean the windshield. I avoid mud anymore.

Don't mess with the moderators because they have the power to boot you off the forum. I was kicked off of a Jeep forum because they were saying I am a racist and a bigot. I didn't kiss their behinds correctly actually. I explained it all and how it was an accepted use of a term for these...

Phoo. grab it by the horns and run with it. Some people think I am an idiot, some think I am the smartest person they know. You only have one person to live up to a standard for.

Good for you for picking up the trash, I've been doing that for over 50 years. I go out camping, 4 wheeling or even out on my motorcycle I end up picking up trash somebody left there. I've come home with the back of my 3B packed full of trash more than once. You can have Vegas, I've been...

Like many here I have done roads like for over 3/4 of my life and it is fine. One trip I was looking at the mountain and trail and suddenly I gained an appreciation for the first person that dug the first road into the hill on an old tracked dozer, perhaps an old cable Cat. Not fun up there...

I'm not sure if you can find it, a member here, Hudsonhawk had a write up about him building a teardrop for his Jeep trailer.
