Good management, Ed.

I gave my GP an idea of the stuff I/we do, and she said maybe don’t go that extreme. Sorry, Marlene. :geek:

One guy I went to briefly told me not to lift anything over 25 lbs for the rest of my life. I flat out told him that doesn’t work for me, and I’ll never be able to comply. He says there comes a time when capabilities diminish, and things one used to do are no longer healthy or safe. F that tosser, he got shytcanned at first opportunity.

Not to go off on too much of a tangent, but @SnakeCharmer and I met an 83 year old woman out hiking today. She and her partner were doing a 12-14 mile hike with a good bit of climbing. It was also hot as balls out there. When we ran into them he was resting in the shade, and she was climbing a peak off in the distance. Anyway, she was spry as hell, and it was obvious that she didn't see anything novel about an 83 y/o out for a strenuous 14 mile hike in the heat. I can only assume she has chosen adventure as a way of life, and it's a strong argument of the medicinal properties of activity and adventure.

...and when she got off the mountain, she spryly hopped into her armored car, drove over some e-bikes in the parking lot, and disappeared in a cloud of diesel exhaust!

What year is it? My little 2wd manual Tacoma is ‘04 with 280k. It has gone over several mountain passes (in 2nd gear since it is a 4-banger) and shuttled Cannell/SART/PCE/Noble with up to 5 riders, bikes, and camping gear. Also served as a work truck in AZ for a 4-person archy crew. :inlove:

Uh, but you bought a Subaru....
My 2009 subaru had more problems from new to 95,000 miles than any car I've owned, and I still loved that car.o_O
And that lack of reliability Includes when i had a '70s mercury Bobcat ( rebranded Pinto wagon :gag: ). Wait, the Mercury is a ford....hhmmm...

But really, go for one of these Karlman King SUV. Saw it on display at the Irvine Spectrum. Armored and awesome.

Your Dodge is a beast, saved us lots of time on the trip to Koko & back this year. Maybe 05 was just a good year for trucks cause that's what my duramax is and it ain't left me walking yet. I think that was also the last year they used real metal to build trucks. Now they use recycled beer cans.
