I live at 650 ft and spend the majority of my time below 4000ft. Occasionally I go upto 6000ft. But hardly ever higher than that, unless headed way out of my area.
Plus having the diesel, mine is turboed. Which would help at elevation.

Turbo would definitely help. Cheater.

I don't cheat. I just push the limits and play in the grey areas.

Yesterday, but I braved the high school parking lot to take my daughter to her CTE completion ceremony. Super proud she went through that and got er done!!

Did we all drive like that in high school? I did run over a couple of those concrete parking lot stopper things because it makes the girls laugh.

Truck stuff would be an understatement. Hooked up the enclosed trailer, since that’s what I own. Picked up three 77 gallon containers. I’m guessing each is rated for 200lbs or so. Went to the materials place and put a third of a cubic yard of pea gravel into each of them. Probably 800-1000 pounds in each of them. Winched them into the trailer. Drove slow as hell on the way up the mountain to get home. Dragged the things out with a chain and the little tractor. Then opened a cider or 4. I’m amazed that the containers didn’t split open. But it was my best idea to not put a yard of gravel on the floor of a 14” trailer. Definitely ranks as the weirdest way I’ve ever hauled a cubic yard of any damn thing.

I do the same with mushroom compost. It’s free if I shovel myself but about $1k for a truckload delivered. I just take 5 gallon buckets to fill then dump into the bins. That way I only have to manhandle those once getting them out. Makes good mulch for gardens and trees and such.

I have a 5x10 utility trailer with 24" sides (kinda weird for a trailer like that, but it works out). I want to take some scrap plywood I have and make removable inserts for the sides so stuff can't fall out easily. Then I figure I can drop a heavy tarp in it and have the local materials place dump in reasonable amounts of dirt / mulch / etc when I need it and just drive into the back with my tractor to scoop it out

No money for it, and my wife would murder me if I even brought it up, but I’d love an open utility trailer as well. Putting sides on yours would be awesome.

Damn. That’s enough batteries for two engines, an inverter bank, a house bank, snd and a trolling motor. I bet your arms are sore as well.

They are heavy, 8 6v lead acid, electric pontoon. The worst is getting each into their lil cubby holes. Now to take 8 cores back to Costco, $15 each

So you have an…….EB? (Electric Boat) I knew electric trolling motors were a thing but not full on pontoon boats. That’s interesting. We have a 55acre lake in my HOA that fuel motored boats are prohibited on. Wonder if I could get away with a small electric pontoon boat out there.

Mapped more trails

Ran the new BOH trail Brown Mountain.

Was the mountain brown or was the seat of your pants after the run?
