I wouldn't say that I'm an accountant per se, but do have an accounting degree. Work for the federal government as an internal auditor, but do program audits, not financial. In the 20+ years I have been at the job, I don't think I've ever done any real accounting. But I do have a good bit of...

As the name and profile pic indicate, I'm also a Floridian, a native one at that. Speaking of lightning - about 15 years ago I was living in DC and had come down to Tampa for a business trip. Went out to dinner with a coworker, and a huge thunderstorm hit while we were at the restaurant...

Saw this as well, sums it up nicely - Florida Stress Although I do miss playing in the snow in my Jeep - had a ton of fun when I lived in Germany with the winter drives through the Schwarzwald...

Slow day at work today, so played around with some graphics to come up with a profile picture. Think I may actually cut this out in some vinyl to add to the Gladiator - Warning: Florida Man!

Not today, but over the weekend. Wife and I were driving down the interstate and see someone waving us down. We see that his truck was stuck down in a ditch off the side of the road. We pulled over to lend a hand. Turns out the guy had just moved to Florida from Texas, and when he missed his...

My wife was playing around with the vinyl cutter at her work, and made me some decals for the Jeep. We named the Jeep Feegle (after the Nac Mac Feegle from the Terry Pratchett books - basically small, drunk, belligerent Scottish smurfs), so she did silhouettes between the letters. May re-do...

Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches neues Jahr y'all! (we're a mixed family - wife is German, and I'm Southern...)

I try not to, as they tend to get me into trouble! But this looks interesting to me. Wouldn't be a problem for a bone stock Sport would it? I was hesitant to get out too much (especially on my own) before I got some recovery gear, but it'd be worth getting out in a group!

Amazon van got stuck in my TS Eta soaked yard, so I had to pull them out. First time recovering in the Gladiator. Whole time I was commenting to my wife how much easier it would have been if I had a proper recovery bumper and winch. But I was still able to do it with a ratchet strap. Did add...

I got ducked today at the Publix in Plant City, FL. Brought a smile to my face...

And it was the end of October, pretty much right on schedule. Taking it in tomorrow to get the TSB done...

I was referring to the Tread Lightly trail up there - it's one of the badge trails. Info and maps can be found here.

Not sure if Tampa is too far away from you, but I've been very pleased with Courtesy Jeep in Brandon. Deal was easy (gave me what I feel is a good price right up front), and they made sure the transaction was done quickly. I can give you the name of my sales rep if you are interested.

I'm in the Plant City area, but haven't taken the Gladiator off road yet (except around my own property, which is the primary reason I got it). Want to hit up Ocala sometime, but was waiting until I could add some better recovery gear to it - still a stock Sport S. Hopefully I'll have a better...

Just got back from the dealership - the immediately confirmed that yes I do have the problem that is covered by the TSB. However, they said that Jeep is only letting them order one set of parts every two weeks. There are two people ahead of me (scheduled for the 24th and 10th I think). So it...

If you read farther down on the website it says 250 pounds per person...

Sadly, a new dishwasher and clothes dryer. Sadly, because the cost of the new dishwasher and dryer came out of my Jeep's bumper funds...

I was never really intending to lift my JT from the outset - I got this primarily as a truck that I could take the top off of. I was considering getting some slightly larger tires eventually (I have a Sport S max tow), but that was down the line. Living in Florida, I don't have a real need for...

How I got into the Gladiator - live in Florida, so a convertible is a definite nice to have. Was living in the city, with a typical suburban 1/4 acre plot and typical suburban landscaping. Drove a Mustang convertible. In January moved to the country. Now own 2 acres, including a pond and a...

I guess my paint weighs 6 pounds less than yours! It would be interesting to compare window stickers to see where the difference is...
