Walking & Rambling

Weekend Update

Well, we had a good weekend, weather wise, and I didn’t have much to do at the house. Saturday morning, I did make a run to Home Depot for a few things hen came home and did a little work. After that, it was off to the PreOwned Store, where I bought the Jeep. I picked up a used bumper with a big brush guard and a bikini top for summer. Came home and installed the bumper. Now to drive it! I decided to make a run up to Amicalola Falls State Park for the 2010 Appalachian Trail Celebration & Backpacking Clinic. I wanted to see a few folks and meet David “AWOL” Miller, the author of AWOL on the Appalachian Trail. David & I are friends on Facebook, but have never met. As I was walking up to his table, he recognized me. It was real god to finally meet him. Had a great drive up, a good time at the clinic and a great drive back.

Sunday, I actually got to go play golf. Survivor Dave & I had a fun round, as long as you don’t factor in our scores.

Oh, I should also add that I did the 15 to 20 gallon gas mod on the Jeep. when they built the jeep they used one tank, but offered the 15 gallon as standard and the 20 as an upgrade. All they did was change the sending unit and put in a long vent tube, so it would shut off at 15 gallons. You remove the extra tube and you have 20 gallons. Of course with the 15 gallon sending unit, it stays on full for a while.
