A few other things we got into…
These are a few pics from other folks that started to filter in after Andy and I spent the weekend riding together. I really like these rocky sections. They look really cool and are fun/challenging to climb.
Enjoying a night out on a gift card
One of our range patrons and friends gave us a gift card he'd one. We'd been wanting to try Club Oceano at the Greene so that have us the perfect excuse.

My mom enjoyed a nice walk around our paths
She stopped by after visiting my dad's grave on his birthday. She grabbed this pretty shot of the pond and colors in the process. I miss my dad❣️
Ran out of room on my freedom flaps
That's what Julie calls them and I like it. Technically they're called freedom panels. Anyhow, I filled them up with stickers so after the last trip with Andy, I had to expand to my tailgate.
The aftermath…
When Andy and I were on the trails, at one point when I was leaning over and coming down off the back of an obstacle with a bump, Andy said, "Ooh that sounded like body damage!". I shrugged it off and said, "Naw that's what body armor is for". Well, after I got it cleaned up I realized he was closer to right than I was. I did hit the armored fenders (that's what they're for - rattle can repaint them and keep going). You can see that in the bottom pic. I also managed to scrape onto the hinge pin on the same side (top pic). Again, I have matching paint in a spray can so I can touch it up, but that was closer than I thought to a decent dent… Another half inch and I would have been less happy! If you're worried about scratches, scrapes and dents, don't take your Jeep off-road.
It’s been fun supporting my cousin all these years!
It's been our privelage to provide a little of their support for their mission field. It's always been funny that his name is the same as mine, haha. Looking forward to the next phase of their work. Enjoy this look at their prayer cards from over the years.

Next up, a doggie bath date with Julie!
We took the dogs to a self wash. You can see the various stages and faces of Chloe during the process. IT was as a fun way to spend the afternoon together. We hit the grocery store and grabbed some takeout in the process too. Pretty convenient setup for the dogs. All the stuff you need and only $14.
After the cleaning routine.
I’m getting more efficient at knocking off the trail dirt. This is about an hour and a half later. Some off-road foam, the pressure washer and a trip to touch less car wash. Mostly it’s important to keep the functional bits underneath cleaned off and knock the chunks out of the various nooks and crannies.
Cool new band
I got a gift card from Apple so decided I'd try this cool band for my watch. It's surprisingly comfortable and light. It looks pretty nice too.
