    Happy Thanksgiving punchy
    Just heading out to pick up the bro in law and take him to a family dinner and upon return from the central coast my dog isn't eating and I'm genuinely worried about her
    always grateful for the time we have and hope you figure out your back issues soon cause that squad in KY needs you!
    now off to a house full of liberals to pretend like I'm not overjoyed with the current political climate
    I know I'm not bringing up anything that's for sure

    thanks man, she's closing in on 10 which is up there for an akita but still spry as a pup most of the time
    tonight she was actually excited to see me and ate some or a ham bone I gave her earlier
    weird to see any dog indifferent to a ham bone but she was and very moody
    not exactly a good sign but at this point I think its a depression thing after I left for two days and she's getting clingy as she ages
    dinner was fantastic w great company and my daughter made an incredible caramel apple pie
    I have more in the fridge for tomorrow
    hope everyone had a great day w family

    You make any headway on this project?
    If you're looking to turn yours into solar powered, check out the video below. Not sure how much help it would provide but this will be something I basically mimic for my rig whenever that kicks off.

    thanks, yeah I made the deal and got the cart while trading my non working cart to hopefully bring back a profit and maybe zero out the cost.
    its really easy to shift to solar and the only thing keeping me from doing it is my unit not having a roof which I can easily weld on
    but I don't really want a golf cart style roof and am starting to customize it and its a lot of fun
    guy I made the deal w has rigid and flexible mats for the roof and from there its basically lithium batteries
    if I was using it daily I'd go w the solar absolutely

    R.W. Dixon, the last remaing Buffalo Soldier, has passed. At 103.
    Hard to believe there was still someone left from that era of American history...not too many vets left at all from WWII, and even Korea and Viet Nam guys going...
    But a Buffalo Soldier ?
    Just blew my mind...

    Btw, just saw " Conclave" with a really good cast...but if you want a film with a twist you didn't see coming, check this out.
    Very clever.
    Ralph Fiennes outstanding as usual.

    All I can think of when I think about this is a Charlie Russel or Frederick Remington painting of these guys.
    Being born in 1921, I can only assume this unit kept going way after the Indian wars before they disbanded it.

    the power of the vatican is a mystery
    meanwhile in Washington...

    inside every temples holy place is a most holy place where the members have to do something disgraceful in order to prove their allegiance to the group
    in a way that seals them in an eternal partnership to the other members of its inner circle until the columns of those temples come crashing down upon them

    when I was a kid I was in Yosemite and my dad was keeping me and the family at a distance while others were close taking pictures and tossing food to small bears
    they were so cute and I really wanted to get closer until the mother came charging out of the forest scattering everyone that was close
    it chased this one screaming lady back to her vw bug and she managed to get in the thing just as momma arrived
    the bears body surrounded that car almost enveloping it and kept switching positions as it shook it back and forth
    it was terrifying and I'll never forget the noises and intensity that big animal went after her in the car
    I doubt she will either if she's still around but holy crap that was unreal and it was just a brown bear
    really hard to describe how violent that animal attacked a car and what that looked like

    back in the 80’s there was this photographer from surfing magazine named aaron chang
    dude was very talented
    i knew him a bit but not well
    anyway, years later i see a story he wrote about visiting africa
    he talked about shooting pictures of a lion and lioness from the back of a jeep
    all good until the male lion snaps and charges him
    they hit the gas and he said the lion was literally inches away from him as they fled and eventually escaped
    somehow he managed to snap this photo as they sped away
