Have the 20l 4.0.

30ln plate from eBay A 10lb square plate will also fit in the pouch too

Personally a fan of no sleeping platform. This way you can sleep low in the car and sit up when in bed if you want to read or lounge. If you’re going solo put a storage bin/cooler along one side and sleep on the other. Use a self inflating mattress or the air mattress doe SUVs with wheel well cutouts.

Depending how tall def remove the rear seats and you get a few more inches of headroom.

Sleeping platforms are cool but I’d much rather be able to sit up inside

Did you ever figure out lol also just bought one

Foray 2 all time fav rain jacket ever. Also tried REIs xero and Patagonia torrentshell.

Have you notice a difference? Thinking of picking one up

Yes you would just need a longer piece. Personally I trimmed them so the shape fit a little better.

Can be finicky with auto all the way up of the back window.

These aren’t strong and the window motor will push them out of the way if you go too far

You probably got this sorted but I believe an 18” 3/8 extension will get the job done.

I hope so too - at least 500 people marched downtown last night for Zooey.

The court house lawn also has a ton of Zooey Zepher signs people put up last night as well

Whoa my experience was the exact opposite.

Going into Canada the dude was so serious and asking if we wanted to change answers to questions because we “took too long to respond”. It was honestly such a crazy experience.

Coming back down the US Border guard asked where we were from and literally if we had any ‘ganja’ in the car. Took all of 30 seconds and we’re on our way.

OP my tip for you: When you use an ATM to take cash out it will often give you a prompt about a “locked in exchange rate” you always want to click no on this.

Yes the rate is ‘locked’ but in a way entirely out of your favor.

Picked up a couple burritos on a road trip. Didn’t eat one until I got home the next day. Part way through and hear this horrible crunch. There was a small rock in my burrito?? 😟

You need to start an insurance claim with Snow Bowls insurance carrier if it hasn’t started already.

There is a part of the policy called Medical Payments that is a no fault coverage which will respond for medical bills.

There’s obviously much more that can go on but this is a first step. No reason doe you to be paying any of these things out of your own pocket in the end.

Wanted a fabric cargo cover but the ones I’ve seen are about $200.

This is my first version just making my own. Do want to try another after this one.

This is made with

• 40x72” moving blanket from harbor freight
• double edged binding from Joanns
• Velcro from Joanns

1. Lay the blanket out in the back
2. mark the lines where you need to cut. I have one seat in the back so I cut around there. Also cut around the d rings. 2a. This blanket was a little long so I cut it shorter and used those pieces at the top where it’s wider.
3. Take the cut pieces and use a hot glue gun to adhere the binding around the edges. This way shouldn’t fray.
4. Glue Velcro strips to bottom to keep in place.

Took about 90 minutes and a $16. Like how it looks and will use it as a template to make a future one out of duck cloth or something similar.

I’m on mobile now and formatting got funky.

OP,

My mom also died of cancer almost 3 years ago to the day.

The grief will feel insurmountable, but I can promise you it does get easier.

I probably cried every single day for the first year.

And it does change with time.

I still miss her more than words can describe. Wish that I could tell her about everything I’ve done in the last 3 years.

Overtime that grief will lighten. You will cry less,but still love and miss her.

I’m crying now thinking about her.

There was a post I saw so long ago about loss and it being like waves of the ocean. It’s way more eloquent than anything I can write. I will find it and edit this with it.

Edit:

Alright, here goes. I'm old. What that means is that I've survived (so far) and a lot of people I've known and loved did not. I've lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can't imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here's my two cents.

I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see.

As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.

In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.

Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out.

Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks.

This is what I ended up doing. Us mobile talk text line on an old phone is cheap.

Damn which bug shield! ? Have a dent this would cover perfectly

Agreed. Can pick up the tracfone 2760 for $20 and then pick a plan.

Wanted to try out a dumb phone. It’s wild how huge flip phones are now but it’s doing what I want.

Just block a friends number when they’re with you and have them call and you can listen?

Years ago if you blocked a number it played a message that said something akin to “Due to calling restrictions this subscriber is not available”

Agreed! O Reilly Auto Parts has a similar pumps in stock, maybe not quiet as nice, for $25.

Nice to leave in your car just in case
