My kids have been telling me the same thing about the Harry Potter books. He must be doing a great job if I'm hearing it from random sources. -jim lee

+1 for that. Audio books just EAT the miles. Or, for us in the PNW, my kids bring along recordings of the radio show "Second date update" Those can be hilarious! As for music? Only when driving alone, for some reason. -jim lee

Ain't that the truth. The worst is when you find one, sometimes complete, and its sitting out in the grass somewhere. You talk to the owner and you get the "Oh no, I'm going to restore that some day." Or you get the "That's worth a lot of money!" And it sits, for years and you watch it...

Bring 'em along. Tell 'em "this is what we do around here.." :) -jim lee

Made it 1/2 way.. Here's the story : Build log link Scroll about 1/2 way down and you can see where we took off. It has the whole story including our demise and the "Tow of shame" home. You're in Mt Vernon? Join us locals for a picnic this Saturday : Rally point link -jim lee

Wow! That's slick too! Love the way you think. -jim lee

That's slick! -jim lee

Haha! I know, because no one here has actually seen Franklin! Sad really. I feel like the kid that's always making up stories about his toys at home that no one ever gets to see. Everyone probably thinks I've just been Photoshop-ing the images and spinning tall tales. -jim lee

Thanks for all the replies everyone! I really appreciate it! Hoping that tomorrow I can spend some time on this and get the window box cut out. @Jedi has set up an overland picnic for this weekend, and I'd dearly love to be able to take this machine. I'm thinking that we may be forced into...

Camping in the rain Monday, October 8, 2018 Clutch fixed and suddenly we have a seemingly reliable machine, finally. Above we’re picking up a local batch of dumplings for lunch. Tasty! So now that the machine is running again, its time to rebuild our confidence in it. Oldest daughter...

The forum loading used to be really slow on my machines. Now its speedy quick! If it was something you guys did to improve things, good job! If not, good job anyway! -jim lee

Woo hoo! Welcome even more new people! -jim lee

+1 for Hydroflask. I bought a big one on a whim. Out of the store I started to get some buyers remorse when I realized that my hand couldn't span it, it wouldn't fit in my cup holder, probably kinda' heavy when full.. Then I took it along when we did the WABDR in the blazing heat for about a...

Why make people go somewhere else for introducing themselves? In the main forum, your post is lost in about 10 minutes and a very low percentage will be local to you anyway. What's wrong with introducing yourself "locally"? -jim lee

Peter, you on a trip now? -jim

And of course the carryall broke down on that Baker Lake trip as well. But its all fixed now! Isn't it about time to meet up for a burger and maybe some light off-roading or something? Anyone? Even a luch run would be entertaining.. A picnic? -jim lee

Hey! We seem to be neighbors. -jim lee

The disk drive on my computer died and the original Carryall Blog was lost. So.. I’ll start this after the end of what we will now call Part I of the Carryall blog. When we left off our story last time, Franklin had broken down again heading home from a camping trip to Baker Lake. Everything...

Heat exchanger with coolant water? Just like your car's heater but liquid to liquid as opposed to liquid to air. Boats sometimes use this kind of setup. -jim lee

I was wondering.. Why not, instead of legs, make up a adapter that goes in your hitch receiver that sets your carrier at table height? Haul stuff without the adapter. When you stop, empty the carrier, pull it out of the receiver, install the adapter into the receiver, reinstall the carrier to...
