Love the woodshop updates! Hopefully we get to see that workbench soon.

Nice, catching up on your thread now that I have the time. First of all, LOVE the Doxa. I'm a huge Clive Cussler nut and have owned a couple of 1200T Sharkhunters but sold them. Always meant to get the 1200T Pro but just haven't been able to locate the one yet. Love the design and style of...

"In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself." - Laurence Sterne I've always had some affinity or attraction to the mountains. My parents fostered this as a child, when we would disappear on the weekend or sometimes an entire week up to a campsite somewhere in Montana...

Nick, just took the time this morning to catch up on your thread. Lots of changes, and a ton of work that went into the home automation. Great stuff and really interesting to see what those systems can do. My dad has dabbled with it a bit but you've really made some cool systems. It's been fun...

Huh. I never thought of that. Thanks for the idea!

"To be left alone is the most precious thing one can ask of the modern world." Anthony Burgess I awoke to the utter silence that only exists in the voids between civilizations, the places where mankind has left only the most minor marks on the landscape. An early-morning chill carried only the...

They were just grateful to be rescued! I am using a Nikon 16-35mm or 24-120mm attached to my D610.

As a shakedown to test everything, I took the family, once again, to the mountains outside of Cooke City for some four-wheel adventure. This time, I wanted to show my wife the beautiful scenery of Lake Abundance and the big bowl created by the mountains surrounding this area. She had never been...

The next order of business in the shop was another wiring job on the Land Cruiser, this time to set up a plug to power my 12v refrigerator. I have owned an Indel B refrigerator for my truck for about 8 years now, and it is a complete departure from traditional coolers in all the best ways...

Bob, I am routinely filling between 20 and 40 with a fairly slow compressor, which is why I like the clamp-on style for this application. Lower tire pressure on the trail is a game-changer when dealing with rocky or washboarded roads. So much better for comfort, less equipment fatigue, and...

Bob, do you need to hold the trigger on this to get the tire inflating? I like that I can clamp mine on and walk away for a minute.

Sometimes mine doesn't get all the way seated, but I just push the lever and push it further on the stem and that fixes it.

The air hose is from the fill-up kit I got from ARB a long time ago. The chuck itself I found on Amazon, it's a latching closed-flow version. I did have an ARB one, but it kind of fell apart on me after a while, so I found a substitute. Closed flow is important so that it doesn't blow air unless...

There was a bit of fallout from the muddy experience in the Little Belts, unfortunately. I got a little too aggressive at the carwash and blew some of the clear coat off the paint at the back of the passenger side. I was pretty pissed at myself about this, and spent an inordinate amount of time...

While all of this was going on, I was using my extra time to finalize everything on the 100 Series. I had cleaned up all the wiring, gotten everything installed, made sure the seats were in and looking good, removed any trash or debris from the work areas, and then wiped down and Armor-Alled the...
