Did you screw the motor, or did you get lucky?

Wonder where @Dantheman1540 went? He hasn’t been on here since last November.

Fell in love or just fell in, I'm not sure which.

The lack of a response all this time leads me to believe he did not get lucky :(

It’s crazy how time flies, and I have too many projects these days.

Tahoe is fine I let it eat at 7k a few times on the way home today, this motor is darn tough. Like my favorite sock brand #merinowooltillidie

Anyway yeah trucks great other than head liner is getting bad, and it still needs a trutrac, and my magnusson needs to find its way on it, and I still consider selling it for a ratty muscle car. I miss yall but I am super busy and don’t have much computer time these days. Here’s some random pics of cool stuff.

Glad to see you check in. Need to try some darn tough socks. They're my go to these days. They'll look right at home in the crocs, 4wd mode only.

What happened to the plane?
That’s what I was saying darn tough socks are the only option these days. Darn they are expensive but also tough and no blisters are kinda nice.


The plane done wrecked itself, low experience pilot recently purchased the plane and basically bounced off the water during landing didn’t hold the nose up and it nosed down ripped the entire front to bits and flipped upside down in the water. Nearly killed both occupants, one dude had like 40 face/head stitches, the other dude had a big ole booperoo on his head. They got rescued by passing boaters and I coordinated the recovery, pretty gnarly very glad they lived. Also I have the wings if anyone is interested in them before I cut them to pieces and cram them in a dumpster lol.

Ended up helping the owner sell the wreckage to some nice guys in an avalanche with a really crappy trailer. We happened to have had our biggest event of the year the next weekend and having that on our apron would have been a Debbie downer.

I have a seaplane rating. Happens too often - especially if the water is smooth and glassy.

You have a plane too? If some come on down to americas seaplane city! Tavares FL FA1 I’ll get you some swag lol.

It’s funny we say all the time there’s really only two types of seaplane pilots. Really darn good ones that are all around studs and high performers. Then not very competent ones which sometimes it’s because they just aren’t super smart, sometimes it’s lack of experience, or bad state of mind. But man it’s so easy to spot good vs bad ones.
