Two good pics of the runners. They look about the same in the before and after - still smiling!

^Neat pics, Roseanne. You and Don need to take that Jeep out to Jim's (S1997) place in Colorado and go for a drive in the Rockies to really experience some thrills! (These were taken after S2K Days in 2012 in Golden, Colorado, in Jim's Jeep)

To be completely honest, I think it was Coop who showed up at S2K Days in Oregon this past July in a Jeep and that is really what caught Don's attention and planted the seed. And the top down drives in the S through the redwoods and along the beaches heading home gave the little seed just enough more food for growth and now he has this big bright yellow Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock to show for it.

Next I think he wants to get a trailer with equal ability to go off-road. Oh boy.

Roseanne, here is a pic of Coops rig in Colorado this year. That's my Wrangler right behind, and the silver Tundra is trailering another Jeep from Texas.

Yup. That's the rig that started it. Even just the trailer alone was a topic of conversation for us at several points during our trip. He took one look at that and the Jeep and he made it very clear that's what he wants to do.

OK. I'm fine with that so long as he remembers the adage about goose and gander. Actually, it was just really nice to see him excited about something again and motivated to make it happen.

^Jan. 24, 2015. After sitting in my garage for almost 7 years, I finally got my 2003 street-legaled, enduro motorcycle up and running well, once again. I've been paying for the street license plate and insurance for the entire time but let it sit so much that the carburetor needed to be rebuilt. I also had a new front tire and tube put on, and a new chain. I rode it for 20 miles today and plan on getting it in the dirt the next time. I'm a little at why the colors are off so much. On Photobucket, the color is correct but it's sure off on here. The green is much brighter and not so olive.
