I’m back baby!
Shake down run complete last weekend! I enjoyed some time over at Haspin Acres in Indiana. You can’t get too far from help there, so it’s a good place to test things. It evolved into a full on off-road thrashing once the shakedown went so well. I can’t believe the stuff I climbed. The pictures posted today are the easy obstacles I hit. This weekend, I’m headed to SE Ohio with a couple club members to hit the unmaintained “roads”. Using the word road for these is really a misnomer. They are hardly recognizable as passible by anything other than serious off-road equipment in most cases. Should be fun. Will be a good test of my repairs….
It does seem to be a good balance of power, torque, traction and robustness. Love the lockers, they’re like cheating… I can spin all four wheels on decently solid dirt and not break anything, all while crawling right up over the obstacle at hand. We see how it holds up. I know I need to give my springs, steering, control arms and shocks some attention, but hopefully that can wait until later in the year.
Nice parking spot…
Notice my new handle is directly over top of the rear tire! Quite an angle. It made for an interesting climb back in. It was more of a pull-up exercise than anything else, hahahaha.

Julie getting ready for one of her runs, taking out the garbage!
Thin as a dime…! Julie was cold. One of the instructors noticed and said something like, “Well yeah, you’re thin as a dime!”

President’s awards!
The same but different
This wallpaper from my hotel this past week looks like it is just a repeating pattern, but then you closely and realize there are lots of odd little differences in some of the pictures. Zoom in and see how many you find. ;)
