Holy crap. Michigan came out with the lifetime trailer plate about 20 years ago. My single axle utility trailer plate was $75, and it migrated back and forth between a boat trailer, and snowmobile trailer and the utility trailer for many years.
Wow, that's a real mess.
I think that's the first time I've ever seen a cop working.... they're even pushing a wheelbarrow!

Maybe there was a big box of donuts we couldn't see.
I get all that.
Saw this one today and thought of you. He had bigger tires on the back, probably to make it hook up better

Well got some of the issues hammered out of the German oil burner. Took the dash apart and fixed the blend doors. That was a pain. Now I have heat, and it comes out the vent I want it to. Installed a short throw shift linkage kit. The factory stuff was pretty loose and shot, plus the shift kit was cheaper and looks cool. It also came with new bushings for every place that moves at the trans and in the car, besides the big pivot ball on the shifter. Which I need to find a way to take some more slack out of. Man it shifts much nicer now. Went for a drive with the wife and kids and caught a whiff of coolant. (The guy said it had a slow coolant leak, but never left a puddle. I thought it must have been the Heater core, but I was wrong. It a plastic housing thing on the back of the head. Has a small hairline crack in it. Got one ordered, will be here Friday. Hoping the new silicon radiator hose kit shows up, would be nice to drain the coolant once and be done with it. New down pipe should be here this week yet, as well as a bunch of regular maintenance items, head stud kit, 3 bar map sensor and a new vgt control valve. Brakes are kinda mushy, so I need to look into that. It stop very well, besides the warped front rotors. Pedal doesn't fade, it just soft for a little before it stiffens up. I've been told it's "normal" but I don't quite buy it. Have stainless branded likes incoming to replace the rubber hoses. That should be showing up next week. Egr free intake should be showing up from across the pond next week too. Found a bigger injection pump, and a factory lift pump kit for it too, just waiting on the guy to give me a total with shipping. I'm hoping to get a better clutch, turbo and injectors next month ordered for it. Been back amd forth with the guy thay will be doing the programming for me making sure everything will be driveable, not smoke (too much anyway) keep some decent milage, and not blow rhe engine up till I get the shop finished so I can pull the engine and do internal work.
Here's a few picks of today's tear the dash apart project. All those holes used to have foam on them, the foam deteriorates and open the holes in the blend doors, then it's good by hvac. She blows good heat from wherever I want it now.

Thats one thing I haven't put much thought into. I want to get slightly wider tires for it eventually, but I don't want that stupid look with the blown out side walls and beads nearly inside out.I get all that.

Dang...get a D8 up there and cut into the bank about 16' or so as a temp fix
Today's scrounge...load of mostly very dry and heavy black locust and some Sycamore. And, of course...overloaded...
One more load to get...Sycamore and the Maple to the left of my truck...

Yes, but you live North of the MTA surcharge, which is more than the registration fee for a small trailer!
Just got done with my tax work about 1/2 hour ago. In addition to my scheduled appointments, one client got an amended dividend statement and I finished up another one that was in process with 5 different States! What a PITA, each State has their own rules, their own forms, and their own methods of allocating their share of the income. It is like going through a can of worms!
It is time for a glass of wine!
Supposed to do that by Friday, we’ll see.
This happened today on the highway to Kings Canyon National Park, just over 4,000 feet elevation.

These pics bring back memories of living in Colorado. One winter we watched an ICE boulder of equal size tumble out of the high country. We watched it travel probably 2’000 feet of vert. It totally wiped out the fencing at a ball park in town park. I’ll never forget the sound ! Was like a freight train, and then some. Coolest thing i’ve ever seen in the wild.
You're going to need both hands for that one
