Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

I love dogs.


You going to post pics of the poultry as well?

 

Take out the passenger one too. Wife can ride in the frunk, toss kids in the trunk, even weight distribution and all that.

 

True I forgot he put too much on. Too soon @T-Rex266

 

For the Tesla people that have to have a front plate

Sadly, the ones that look the best and have good range are more money than I am willing to spend on a car. Can't imaging the insane registration cost for a Tesla in Wyoming.

 

Here is Nelson the peacock showing off for one of the chickens. He’s just over a year old, so his train hasn’t started to really fill in.

He’s “wild” (just showed up one day last spring with who we assume is his mother, Josephine). They live in the trees around our property, mostly above our chicken coop.


Kevin was the first peacock that just showed up one day out our house - in July of 2018. About 1-1/2 months ago, all three of them just disappeared - we assumed the worst (coyotes), but it seemed odd they had made it this long wild.

One neighbor had seen Nelson about half mile away in one direction, which would kind of make sense because the males are territorial and Nelson was getting old enough. Then we learned from our other neighbor that Josie had three babies over by his shop that he was trying to keep sheltered/protected, and that Kevin was now hanging out at another place about 1/2 mile the other direction where someone had four new peacocks in a cage/coop.

A little over a week ago, coyotes managed to get the three babies, and Josie started hanging out by our chickens again making a bunch of noise. About three days later, Nelson was in the yard again. We don’t know if Kevin will come back yet or not, but the neighbor has let HIS neighbor know that Kevin is wild and is not to be caged up with his other four.

Kevin, earlier this spring:


and Josephine

 

She looks so happy

Guarding the herb garden

 

We chuckle because she is always smiling

 

That's awesome. Wonder if the guy with the caged ones would let them loose and you guys would have a little neighborhood flock to enjoy.

 

FML. Apparently Wyoming doesn't want you to have an EV. There's a flat $200 fee in addition to regular registration.

 

Hey, Sean, @T-Rex266 what's the MSRP for the Tesla you got? I found a tool that calculates the cost of plates for my area, but Wyoming goes off of the factory value to determine the cost.

 

So MSRP of 66. That's what they use. I'll punch it in when I have a free moment. Stuff is hectic at work for a minute.

 

Honestly - they are cool birds but three hanging around is plenty.
They are peeping Toms (my daughter’s bedroom window has the porch roof right outside of it). They are loud during mating season (~March-early July), and they can be kind of bullish to the other birds (Kevin used to constantly torment our old rooster). They also leave much bigger shits than the chickens do…

 

I want my Tundra to do 0-60 in 3.1 seconds!

 

Ok, so in the tool I'll use the $50,640 for a model 3 LR. Personally I think the S and X look way better, but let's try a budget one and see what the plates would be.





Almost a grand. Lets look at one the same price if it were used, say a 2019...




Also, add in the $200 electric vehicle fee to both of those.

Fair enough. I've heard they are loud as hell, but man are they good lawn ornaments.

I pay enough in fuel, thank you.

 

Oh, wait, now that I read that, it's a different estimate. The state gives zero Fs about your savings, so they'd go off the $62,990 and this is what you get. Plus a $200 annual fee for an EV.

 

Nice pics, but where's the Taco?

 

And the SUSHI!

 

Yeah, I corrected that. The cost of the car is more than all the fuel, tires, maintenance, and accessories that my Tundra will use in it's lifetime. No benefit for me to get an EV. Maybe if I win the lotto.

 

Ok, gonna need you to get pics/vid of this flame-nado! I'm a bit of a pyro.

 

@RainMan_PNW

Hey, that plasma cutter wouldn't happen to be portable, would it??

 

Same here!

 

I'm around $64k OTD with mine.

That's crazy WY bends you guys over on vehichle fees, probably has to do with the lower population. Gotta find money somewhere...
