Just took and passed my Extra Class this evening. I only missed one question. I went from no license to an Extra ticket in 2 weeks. It does help that I have worked in commercial communications for years. 73! KE0VJR

four options 1) turn around 2) use an axe or hatchet 3) use a bow saw (easy to pack and relatively cheap) 4) small chain saw. With all the beetle kill pine and high winds these days around Colorado, I carry a small 18" chain saw and a bow saw. I went down a trail not too long ago and went back...

Looks like a great setup. I am a big fan of tool bags.

While tools are nice, parts are better... Check online and find the most likely to fail stuff on your rig. On the early Jeep Cherokee's it is the crankshaft position sensor, or the TPS. I carry a pair of strippers/crimpers with a ton of waterproff butt splice joints and extra wire. I even...

Welcome. I have plans to be down your way on an expedition within 18 months.

I have air bags that I air down for washboard roads, and sometimes if it is really bad, I do the tires as well. Offroad, since the trailer is light, has shocks and air bags, I rarely air down the tires. Shocks are well worth the money on a trailer if you don't want it bouncing around and...

We used to have Sand HIll Cranes on our ranch outside of Stanton, TX. They were pretty rare back 50 years ago.

I've had my Jeep Cherokee for 21 years. My wife surprised me with it for my birthday. She's a keeper (both the wife and Jeep)

Just thought I would check in. KE0VJR General Taking my extra in a week. Just missed it the first time by one question. I work in communications so the tech part was easy, I just had 4 hours to study. Maybe if I get through the study guide all the way I can get at least one more question...

About 20 years ago when I first moved to a new home off of Taft and 45th, I saw tracks in the fresh excavated dirt at the end of my street.

That human attack occurred within 7 miles of my house. A few years ago a 5 yr old was snatched off of a hiking trail while with a church group, within 20 miles of my house. They found parts of his remains a couple of years later.

Moose tastes better than bear.

Moose actually kill more people in North America than any other mammal, including bears.

When I grew up southwest of Walden, there were no moose in Colorado. Around 40 were released over by Rand around 1975 and now they are everywhere. I had one walk across my lawn by Boyd Lake two years ago. You don't normally think about seeing moose way up above tree line, but they had to go...

The way it works is if it is a total loss, they pay me the total amount, otherwise they pay all the bills to repair it up to that amount.

I run with Farmers Insurance and have for 30 years and love them.

You are never really alone on those trails.

Chugging pretty good with a 4.7L stroker at over 300hp. I got pulled over by a state trooper going up a very long hill on the interstate here doing 94 mph (which is where it likes to cruise). He didn't write me a ticket, he just wanted to know how I did it since his XJ could only muster 55...

Nice clean project. You should be proud.
