The car

[Mortblanc]

I had to have some cylinder head work done on my Jeep this week, which cost me enough for the down payment on a small house!

One positive being that I got a complete cooling system flush and fresh coolant installed.

I decided to take it to one of the local chains for an oil change and they were out of the specified oil. Imagine that, a supply chain issue!

I am now debating a new set of tyres. Getting down to worrisome on the tread depth, but not unsafe. I just don't like to have sketchy tread on a 4wd rig that might have to negotiate difficult situations. I should probably go ahead with that since the prices will only go up, and drastically, in the next few months.

Gear in the Jeep? I have been accused of prepping to start a small town with what is in that vehicle.

I was watching a video about a high priced survival kit last night and the thought hit me, I don't need a survival kit, I have the Jeep!

Part of that is the camping gear I carry year around. I just switch out the summer sleeping bag for the winter sleeping bag. I do need to check the expiration dates on the food. Last time I did that I discovered that some of the granola bars were older than dirt. I forget about the food in the packers.
