If you remember I was complaining about not being able to do my own alignments anymore, I went back to my old Audi dealer and they hooked me up. My buddy Justin got it dialed in perfectly.

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoy them. Photography has always and will always be a hobby of mine, it’s something I like to do and I’m always happy to share. I don’t take what I have for granted and in a world where people love to focus the negative, I like being able to share the places and experiences that I enjoy.

It probably can't be stated enough how :jelly: most of the board is man. The area out there is gorgeous and it's seriously on my list of retirement places if I could talk the wife into leaving the state ever.

I still have pictures I need to post up. I’m at one of our secret facilities in the middle of nowhere so I have zero reception with AT&T. At night I take a station phone back to the house and use it as a hot spot but data is limited before it gets capped so I try to conserve. On the weekend I’ll usually drive an hour to get to the closest Starbucks to sit use internets, I’ll probably do that this weekend and get some more pics up.

My son wanted to see a whistle pig (Marmot) and a waterfall like in his Rocky Mountain National Park book, so we went and found a water fall and whistle pigs.

Here's the first marmot, my son got upset because he was to loud and scared the marmot away.

Image

The next one he stayed quiet so we got like 6 feet from it and he could check it out.

Success, thats a happy kid

In his book ABC Rocky, it’s the alphabet and each later has something related to the Rocky Mountain National Park. It says Y is for yellow bellied marmots, also known as whistle pigs because of the noise they make. I laughed a lot and then starting calling people that. My buddies soon to be ex-wife is “the whistle pig” now.

I finally decided to upgrade some equipment for in the garage. Prior to the lift I had a rough timing getting this thing off the ground. I could lift a front wheel by the lower control arm, to get it off the ground, and then remove the tire so it could come down to the level of the jack stand topped out on the frame. With the extended travel suspension on it it has some extra downward travel.

I actually washed it, I even used soap! All it did was reveal that the truck is fucked. Massive amounts of hail damage from the storm last week. I was out of town, I knew it was bad, but I didn’t realize how bad. The roof, the top of the hatch, and the entire right side is covered in tiny dents, as well as 3 small cracks in the windshield. That got me looking around at some other stuff, the weird pattern on the fence on the backyard that just showed up, it’s a shot load of tiny dents in the wood from the hail. The roof of the house is getting inspected tomorrow.

I talked to my Allstate agent and they said the storm from last week has been labeled by the insurance company as a “catastrophic event”

Sad! Untimely install of the King suspension. What now?

Sorry man, that's a huge bummer. We got hail storms in Texas occasionally. Every realtor recommended getting a house with a garage or covered parking that could fit all the vehicles for that reason.
