Broke down an replaced the CSI fridge/freezer with this:
ICECO VL45 Portable Refrigerator with SECOP Compressor, 45 Liters Platinum Compact Refrigerator, DC 12/24V, AC 110-240V, 0℉ to 50℉, Home & Car Use (with Insulated Cover)

Construction seems solid and compressor has five year warranty. The CSI did good until it didn't. Can't complain too much as I didn't pay much for it about four years ago. It went some rough places and got me back home. Got used to having the extra capability to freeze packs for my other cooler and overflow groceries so I bit the bullet on what seems to be a reliable unit. Doesn't draw quite as much on the battery near as I can tell. Fangers crossed!

Got new tires installed....after a 4 hour wait. :pensive: I replaced the MT's with AT's because they are quieter, ride smoother, last longer and cost less. Besides, at least 95% of my tire wear is on road anyway, so why waste the tread just because it looks more off-roady?

BLUETTI solar generator with panels to power my rig off grid. Having a solar generator with the new LifePro battery system will insure a longer battery life.
Solar will now power fridge/freezer, lights, charger system for phone/drone/iPad and keep our new StarLink system up and running full time.

I did the same my Mickey Thompson ATs are way more superior than 3 other MTs I’ve run.

I just bought a small folding shovel from Wally World this week.

Get this. It's an age restricted item and they actually ID me. FYI I'm as bald as a bat and my beard is 90% gray. I haven't looked under 21 for probably 20+ years and that could be being very generous.

"They" must be getting ready to ban all shovels.

I’ve just been inspired to kit bash between 2 hobbies and create a folding shovel with a collapsible Magpul handle, in basic black. An “assault” shovel, so to speak. Use your imagination-

I'm pretty sure these are behind locked glass in some Austin area stores, as most camping stuff is, due to the homeless situation now.

I don't think I'll ever go back to MTs again for the same reason.
