That is all…….

With the oldest needing a vehicle and an opportunity coming up, it looks like I will be purchasing a new vehicle. Well, new to me but only slightly used. It is a 1990 GMC Suburban. Unfortunately, only 2wd so my offroading ability is going to be limited. But it only has 30k miles, new tires and the interior is immaculate. The exterior has 35 years of sun fading and paint largely blasted off the horizontal surfaces, but no body rust in the lower half. Last time it was on the road was 3 years ago when it was pulled into the garage it currently sits in. Had spent several years in the lot at a repair shop as it was in the shop for new tires and an air conditioning compressor when the owner took ill and then passed away.

When I went to look at it with the kid he looked into the back of it and said, "Put some curtains in the back and a mattress....." I cut him off and told him he would be driving the Saturn because he likes to drive where I put single digit miles on my car daily. Speaking of single digit mileage, that is about what the boat gets if the notebook with every fill up and miles the owner kept is any indication.

Should be a fun ride. Full whiplash bench seat in the front and enough room to carry around a lot of fishing poles. Will likely give the rusty spots on the top a sanding and a rattle can paint job. It has fuel injection and electronic ignition so isn't a "Light's Out" vehicle but will do a to b just fine. Oh, and it has a trailer hitch so can pull the camper. Sure the mileage will go down with that.

Went to Moab & had reservations at North Rim Grand Canyon lodge, so it burnt to the ground….

Moab was high 90’s, hot a blazes and the AC could hardly keep up. Then the wildfire smoke moved in and really restricted visibility and ohhhh it stunk 

Golly then the truck threw a code…..Ford dealership could not pull a cod, ORilleys could not pull a code

And then the passenger door electric lock stopped locking/unlocking 

Could not figure out what’s wrong with the truck

Had extended a couple days in Moab and made reservations in Monument Valley to see John Wayne’s movie locations and made reservations in Kanaub UT at a old school hotel where lots of movie stars stayed when filming 

Truck was running rougher, idled wonky and nobody knew why 

So we canceled all the hotels & went home

Kanab UT had a 72 hour cancellation policy and said we canceled 2 hours after the 72 was up. So we canceled 70 hours before check in so tough luck 

Had record of calling with time stamped e-mails…. Just got it refunded thru the CC company was the hotel absolutely refused to budge 

Ford dealership we got the truck at fixed it under warranty (door latch) saying nothing wrong with motor

They damaged the window Trump fixing the truck & absolutely refused to fix it while saying we owed $100 for fixing the truck under the extended warranty 

It only costs $1k to fix the trim/molding and it’s not under the warranty 

Told the manager they have lost us for life, will never purchase  other vehicle from them or go to the service department since they refuse to fix what they damaged 

Sigh………Really need a beer….

Have an appointment for the truck the end of the month with a different shop to have new plugs & wires put in, have old wires with a history of cracking under high heat and fouling plugs while misfiring 

That’s only $1K to use NGK plugs and OEM wires……🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Going to Billings Montana tomorrow…..

Really need a vacation but can’t afford it 🥵🥵

[GOA News] GOA is Doing What Spineless Politicians Wouldn’t

Gun owners have a historic opportunity For nearly a century, the draconian NFA has suffocated our Second Amendment rights, weaponizing bureaucracy against law-abiding gun owners like us. But here’s the breakthrough: Congress removed the NFA’s legal foundation by eliminating the $200 tax on suppressors and short-barreled firearms. There’s just one problem: The unconstitutional registration requirement remains in place. Previously, the …<br/> <a class="postReadMore" href="https://www.gunowners.org/na080625/">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>
