Officially Unofficial Build Email Libations Game........

Good Sunday Evening, Kids!
Having been out of the loop all weekend I spent the last half-hour catching up… @SAVEUP , Russ, keep your chin up, and your nose to the grindstone while everything settles out… Cuts out of nowhere simply SUCK, and as you know, many times cause lots of unintended consequences. You and your workplace are on my list of upwardly mobile thoughts and prayers…

A quiet weekend here in the PNW, and tomorrow I get to start modifying my diet in prep for my way overdue colonoscopy… oh joy! It’s been about 7 years and I was able to delay last year due to Stev Austin and his brother Steve, but those dang doctors just keep nagging… kind of seems they “like” rooting around up in there with a plumber’s snake… my bride thinks it’s funny, and we’re not expecting any issues (no pun intended), but sheeeesh….

Snow is finally back up in the mountains and the skiers are happy. Traffic on our too small highway is a mess again on weekends, so all is right with the world…

Trying not to be concerned about national and world events, but concerned for those who find themselves at a disadvantage whether at their job, at the grocery store, or even just going about their daily errands… If you can, keep a few greenbacks handy and help someone out who‘s not as fortunate as you… It‘s easy to look the other way, but even a small bit of generosity may change someone’s life… You don’t need to know the circumstances, as none of us is without blemish, so lend a hand and make someone‘s moment.

KIndness costs almost nothing!

I was at this show at the Boston Garden in 1982. It was a crazy night. We went back stage and met the band and then we were told that we had to leave and find our seats. Probably the best concert that I ever went to. Billy Squier was excellent, too!

I would have loved to see Queen live… WHAT A GROUP

We never found our seats, so we were just free wheeling.😂

It was incredible!

Rebel Rebel: David Bowie went from queer icon to family man — and an alien reborn

Happy Monday morning!
Prayers to @SAVEUP! It will all work out no matter what happens, I know because I've been there many times. But it is no fun going through it.
I took down Christmas decor yesterday. Nice weather was taken advantage of.
I need to schedule an oil change and tire rotation. I need to hunt down a new fuse for my portable air compressor. I need to ask someone about my steps on the Bronco. My left foot is screaming at me that I cannot be jumping out of my Bronco. And I need to find someone that can help me move a dimple, created by the step as I was ripping it off, so that I can open rear passenger door. And I really need to wash her, she is filthy. Yup, 1st world problems!
Have a good day! Stay safe. Hug the ones you love!

Howdy from sunny Arizona, today anyways. No snow or rain. It's never good hearing about job loss. I can say from my side, when I have to do it, due to cutting expenses, it is definitely not fun. It's agonizing.

Yesterday was off-road app day. I'm way behind the curve on this and so was my buddy. So we took the sxs out back and just focused on using the apps. I had the Polaris gen-1 Ride command going, Gaia was in Louise s control and my buddy using onx.
Our biggest win was stopping our phone shutting off (stop laughing).
I was in the bronco last month on a trail, using the app and following. The tablet shut off and while on trail in a group I was trying to get back to the map and it was asking if I wanted to upgrade. Lucky I don't believe in littering the desert, so my tablet came home.
Anyway, a productive app day yesterday. It easier when both vehicles are experimenting with waypoints and such.

For all you poor PNW football fans dealing with too much snow here, and too much flooding there...
Something to cheer your poor water-logged souls:​

(And I'm not even Catholic--or a Seattle fan!)​

Superstitious much?

Hoping you’re right!

Bowie and his Mrs.​

Saw Bowie at Foxboro Stadium, Glass Spider Tour. It was incredible!

Well,
I assure you @Sven (Steve) is celebrating with his beloved Bobcats tonight as they claim the FCS National Championship. Well done MSU!

Time to familiarize ourselves with the Sci-Fi classics where robotics and computers take over the world.
Utopia or Dystopia?

Good morning my Libations Crew family!
I have a pot of Folders for anyone needing a 3rd or 4th cup.
I took the Bronco to Mild to Wild yesterday afternoon. The owner wS able to tweak the damage the step caused as I ripped it off on a ledge on Saturday. I can now open and close the passenger rear door!
Got a fuse for my air compressor. Had a 35 fuse. They didn't have one. They suggested that 30 may work and advised not to try 40. Hope to get the new fuse in and try it before I need to leave for a doctor's appointment.
Mild to Wild owner said to bring in the steps and they will see if they are bent and if they can weld the broken clasp. I will also bring in my stirrups so I can learn how they attach. My right hip and left foot can't tolerate getting in and out without steps. And I need them to flop the top back and forth. So hopefully tomorrow I can get that addressed.
Got the oil change and tire rotation scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
Hope to do 2 trails on Saturday that I did in my Rubicon. I'm sure my stock Bronco will tackle them like the champ that she is. And, I will not have any steps on her, some severe ledges and waterfalls on these trails.

Have a good day! Stay safe. Hug the ones you love!



Here's a pic of me from Thursday and my new plate. Got enough rock rash so that people will know the type of WLD I am. Lol

Good morning afternoon everyone, looks like I missed the morning coffee so I’ll just add ice, cream, and sugar, and call it an “iced coffee.” 😍
I don’t have anything new for this rainy taco Tuesday, but I do have this Month's calendar displayed below.

Oh, somebody loves you!
I like that. Maybe I can get something like that made up for a rear-tire graphic. Hmmm....?

Dang. I thought we were getting Ice Cream! Going to be 78 in Dallas today. I may need to make that happen.
