Got out of Topeka around 0800, rolled into Sikeston about an hour ago. The whole like driving at dusk , it is that heavily overcast. Started raining on me around Nevada Mo and never completely stopped. Kinda glad I opted for the hard doors after all.

Oh hell ya!! That looks like some good food. My mom cooked that kind of stuff raising 4 kids. We usually had a big garden on the farm. Fried ocra and liver and onions were a regular. Recently had L+O at a small cafe in Pahrump Nevada just outside of Death Valley called Mom’s. Their slogan was “Food so good, you’ll think we kidnapped your mama!”. They were right!
 
I forgot to mention, the drive today was 480 miles. Found the “ comfortable “ cruising speed is 64mph, although I hit 80 twice due to not paying attention. It could easily do 70-75, but I don’t like the way it feels at those speeds.
Temp gauge never moved off it’s normal spot and the oil pressure was right at 30psi at speed, dropping to 12-15 at idle rpm’s.
About halfway through the day, I noticed a RF squeal through the radio that hasn’t been there before( cheap plug wires).
480 miles took 26.3 gallons of gas which equals 18.3mpg!! Almost double what I’ve been getting on short jaunts around town
NO WAY could I sit in a CJ for 480 miles! Respect!

Ahem...snide remarks incoming:

Don't you have to have something, to monitor?! 🤷

"little dinky thing"...heart? monitor? CJ5 frames? ...something else? 🌭

"Yeehaw..." did the difibulator portion just kick ya?!

"Why you need one? Too much ketchup where it dont belong?!"


OK, im done...love ya bro!!!😆🤣😂
Completely roasted from 3 simple sentences! 👍

Suuuuper interesting video that I came across on YT. It's about repairing a Jeep speedometer. I don't know how many of us are capable of this level (I'm certainly not), but I enjoyed watching just the same. Very detailed.
 
Good morning. It's Thursday, in case you weren't aware. I have a little green light blinking on/off on my chest. Wifey is now calling me Ironman! I hope I don't have to live up to it!

Be safe today. Look both ways. Sometimes you just need two hands!

Safe travel mercies, Chris. When you see Bob, please pinch his azz and give him a sloppy kiss for me!

Tell the wife to wear six layers of clothes and stay in the other room, or you'll never get an accurate reading from that thing. Oh, and don't look at any jeep parts!
 
Up and at it, 2 cups down...may need 2 more ☕ ☕ +☕ ☕ =😁

Taking truck into mechanic this AM...another coil pack has given up...I dont have the time or desire to mess with all that, fuel rail removal, etc...but am probably going to have him replace ALL packs and plugs while hes in there.

Cort has been the definition of a student athlete lately, practicing hard and hitting the books...had one of those weird "proud dad" moments as he was sitting at the island working on homework, shirtless, with his cleats still on...pretty much defines "student athlete" for me! 🤩

Weather as of late, and for the next week, is supposed to be pretty amazing...I think even @Keith M. would approve!! Could use some rain, but cant complain about the temps!!!

Morning Jeepers! Darker mornings have been keeping the cats at bay. On first cup and last of the banana bread. Oh nooo! 70* this morning with clouds and a few sprinkles. Thank you Mexico. Beautiful, balmy morning. Today is grocery shopping. List and menu are made. @Skerr: Marcie had to wear hers for 2 weeks. But all was good. Praying yours will be too. 👍🏻 @KDub1984CJ7: Beautiful sunrise! Brings back memories of my two sons growing up. @ChrisReyn:Wishing you safe travels and no Jeep problems. Haven’t checked this morning to see where you’re at. :) I actually got the pool filter cleaned yesterday. One less thing on my list. I forget which one of you is the plumbing expert but…. I have a hose bib in a tee where the water main comes in. A few years ago I changed the hose bib because it wouldn’t shut off completely and I couldn’t find replacement guts for it. The new one I put in would cause this awful screech and whine when turning it off and on. I put up with it for awhile and then finally changed it a couple years ago and the new one does the same thing. What’s up with that? None of the other hose bibs do that and the old original one didn’t either. :unsure: Any comments or suggestions? You all have a great day and safe travels wherever you go. :coffee:

Went for a walk and saw a squirrel cooling himself from the heat by laying flat on the sidewalk. I spooked him but he jumped over to the nearby tree root to cool himself again.

It then struck me that his goofy position reminded me of something.

View attachment 4336014
It says unflavored deer corn... should it not be flavored like deer? what is the point of popping it, adding butter, and enjoying it IF IT is not deer flavored? :unsure::LOL:🤪

Do you have to wear it for twerp weeks?
You have to wear it all the time, not just on twerp weeks. @Skerr ... :LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::LOL:🤪🤪

A hiver has me... but oh well. I would tell you what's going on, it would shock and scare you.

well that is about enough from this big job troll-ogre-lycanthrope.
i'll leave you with this.....


Edit: Addon: Adderall:
My cat can lick the hair on his back to keep it groomed.
I can't see mine without a mirror, and have to pay someone to keep it braided.

Did you know that the bridled weasel / masked ermine can kill most large animals, including deer and bear by chewing through the back of the neck and severing the veins and arteries? The only animal that can avoid the fate, is the (Big, Medium, Small) cat as it is flexible enough to grab the weasel from it's neck.

@Skerr Think of ME in a thong.. and see if IT shocks you back to life. 🤪🤪
