    Wife is finally done with Cali!

    Skip the weekends at saguaro. We try to hit saguaro couple of times a week in the afternoon since it's only 20-30 min for us. Hit the water by 4pm and head home after the sun goes down. usually only a handful of boats during the week and half of them are fishing.

    Is the 2024 Beef Shortage a real thing?

    Joel and Amy provide a phenomenal product and are wonderful people to deal with. The paper it comes wrapped in holds up well. Wife and have no kids at home now so it takes about a year for us to go through a half. Never ran into an issue with any of the product keeping for this period of time.

    Paint job cost?

    The cost of paint has gone through the roof. When I had my wife's mustang painted about 7 years ago, the paint materials, base coat, clear coat reducer, hardener, etc was under a grand. My current hot rod went in the booth 3 weeks ago and just the paint materials cost $7500. They had me pick...

    Paint job cost?

    My f-350 crew cab is going in for a repaint on Monday, same color with minor door dings to fix. Quote started at $11k, will probably be a few thousand more. I keep adding stuff to have done while in the shop like new bed liner and windshield.

    Burned out stage?

    Our desert trips used to be like this. Now, I am going for a ride. You are welcome to follow, stay back in camp, drink, fix your shit, etc. I quit letting it eat into my riding time. As for your buddy that is showing up, drop a pin, he will find camp easy enough and we will see him when we get...

    Lets talk about 20 somethings living at home

    Our rule with all our kids was after high school, they either went on to college or trade school. If they didn't choose one of the above, they paid rent and still had to abide by some simple house rules. Mom no longer did their laundry, dinner was still at the same time and if they didn't show...

    Buyers are liars!

    I have an 05 chevy 1500 short bed and get asked a couple of times a week if I will sell it. My canned response is it takes $50k to replace so if you want it, price is $50k. I have been wanting a 70-72 C10 short bed so I started telling them if they had that to trade I would kick in the cash...

    Buyers are liars!

    Was selling a stacker trailer, get the low ball text. Every time he sent me an offer I raised the asking price $1k. Got someone claiming they were a church offering 25% of asking, did the same thing with them. The first phone call I got, the guy asked me to text more detailed pics while on the...

    Hot Rod Magazine switch to a quarterly publication schedule.

    Sad day for HRM. There are start ups out there to fill the void. In the Garage Media has Classic Truck, Modern Rodding, and All Chevy Performance. They started in 2020. I don't enjoy reading off my phone, tablet or computer. I prefer the printed copy.

    Jerky…. Anyone do their own Jerky ?

    Do it on the dryer and traeger as described above. Tried a number of different recipes, the one everyone seems to like the best is a Hawaiian recipe that came with our dryer. Costco has thin sliced NY Strip that we have been using.

    Been going to the dunes since I was a kid. I really noticed a change around the time Crusty Demons of Dirt came out. We do off weekends most of the time, refuse to get near kamp kindergarten because of the shit show it has become

    Do y’all let people drive your shit?

    Person by person decision. My kids use my shit regularly but they also fix it if they break it. I will let my dad use anything I own, as far as the rest of the family, they can go f themselves. My brother in law constantly asks to borrow my flatbed to move cars he is trying to flip. He never...

    Don’t you just love empty flights?

    Went to Germany in May, overbooked on the way over. Return was only about 30% full. Pilot told everyone to stretch out and enjoy the flight.

    Do your kids want a boat when they get older?

    As long as I have a boat, I don't see my kids buying one, they have used my boat more than I have this year. I raised them right, don't have an issue with them taking it out. They respect it, clean it, and keep it full. Beginning of the season my son called me to let me know he picked up the...
