    Before I picked up my grandson from the babysitter I stopped by my storage unit and got out a bunch of NIB Star Wars goodies. 25 to 30 years old. Grandson is naturally into Mandalorian big time. This is one item.....1996

    20201226_162846.jpg 20201226_161331.jpg Done......easy peasy. Lodge Sportsman cast iron grille..$110. Everything else is overkill....IMHO. Proof is in the pudding. If I had guests over....easy peasy. Cast iron holds the high searing heat. I can sear several steaks within minutes. Quite impressive but simple to do and afterwards....apparently tiny marshmallows......yes, I'm watching Manny quite closely.

    Done that actually. A woodchuck. Gut and clean, cake it with mud, put it on a spit. Northern Nevada Piute style of grilling. Quite tasty.

    I'm off work all next week. Getting out my Little Chief smoker from storage. Going to smoke a lot of different types of cheese. The weather here will be ideal this coming week. Ideal for smoking cheese. No melt down. Highs won't hit 40 after tomorrow. Today....63. I love Colorado.

    Dinosaur Ridge is pretty kuul. Literally across from Red Rocks. Dakota Formation exposed. The west side has some dino bones in the sandstone you can touch! Large dino bones. The first complete Stegosaurus bones were found here. The east side of the ridge has an ancient beach exposed for about a half mile and was next to a stream. It was pushed up about 60 degree angle when the Morisson formed. The exposed Dakota sandstone formation is mid Cretaceous but lower sediment levels go back to Jurassic. FYI....Cretaceous was around 145 to 66 mya. The exposed beach has sand ripples preserved, dino tracks, croc claw marks and numerous fossils. The first pic shows the belly of a Brontosaurus that you can touch. Pretty crazy place! Free$ too.20210102_101001.jpg 20210102_100433.jpg 20210102_101837.jpg 20210102_102836.jpg

    Happy New Year to you Kurt! I have driven past Dinosaur Ridge so many times. Usually going to Red Rocks. I took my grandson to the Dino Ridge Discovery Center last year. He had a blast. I decided that I needed to go actually walk the mile walk up the ridge. Dang.... All these years driving by it and didn't realize what I was missing. :frusty:.

    Taxes filed. Now just waiting for IRS to start accepting eFile returns. Been waiting for this. In stock for the DC, ready to go. Bolt or weld on. Slee Offroad sliders. Each slider weighs over 100 lbs! Current quote is $1245 which includes powder coat. Local shop and highly respected here in Golden, CO for providing top notch Yota armor. Bullet proof. Wanted to get these for my 07 but things happen. I need and like the tread plates too. BEEF. Stoked. https://sleeoffroad.com/products/sok1241/

    Cheap tailgate theft deterrent. $16 Takes a couple minutes to install. Not a mod but best bang for your $ otherwise.

    Do you ever go to the hardware store? Put the tailgate down for a few minutes to go load something up? Ever get home from a long weekend camping trip and get distracted by kids, barking dog, when unloading and don't realize you forgot to lock your tailgate? It literally takes seconds to swipe your tailgate. This is a no brainer. Had one on my 07. Murphy's Law applies here...a quick use of a screwdriver can break the tailgate lock. Like what thieves do to break an ignition. Like I said....A no brainer.

    Do you ever leave your truck unattended while fishing, hunting? I can think of numerous opportunities for someone to steal a $1K tailgate.....

    This is where forethought and critical thinking comes into play......your posts are based upon your experiences. Fine. But there are asswhipes that steal stuff everywhere. Even in Canada.

    I have one on mine. Thieves know no boundaries and will steal anything! I'm looking into a skid plate to go over my cats before it starts happening here. I'm also getting ready to order security hardware for my rear lights. I already had my license plate stolen from my camper a couple of months ago. The funny thing is, the asshole brought it back. The cop thought that was odd.
