Thanksgiving weekend stuff

The not so fun part

Unless you are towing a camping trailer or have large kids that would be too cramped in the back seat of a smaller pickup, I would say a Toyota Tacoma. Toyotas might be an exception to the ashtray rule, even the new ones are reliable and cheap to maintain

It was a good day

Depends on what kind of job the truck is going to have. Personally I think a good rule of thumb is if it doesn’t have an ashtray it’s too new. If you’re buying something with ashtrays you probably don’t need to spend 20k unless it’s a highly sought after, well preserved truck.

7 years off the booze today. If you can drink like a normal person that’s cool, I can’t. Without going into too much detail, I had 3 major life events happen all within 3 weeks of each other that made it abundantly clear I was on a path to destroy my life if I continued to drink. While it really sucked at the time, I’m very grateful things went down the way they did. If those 3 events happened say within a 3 year span instead of 3 weeks, I doubt I would have came to my senses. I don’t credit myself much for my sobriety, of course it takes will power and discipline but those are gifts from God. Also, my dad, a recovering alcoholic who has been sober since he found out my mom was pregnant with me has been a huge support on this journey. If your drinking causes any issues in your life I encourage you to give it up, it’s doable and worth it. 7 years ago I never could have imagined my life would look like it does today. I hope no one takes this as judgement. If you have a healthy relationship with alcohol, carry on. I envy you a little bit.

No love for the bugeye 😤

Heavy duty

No way, e-bikes are mega 🌈

1x conversion on the dad bike. Old school downhill mountain bike parts definitely make your dorky dad bike faster 🚴‍♂️💨 now I think the forks need to be painted black #bikestr
