We back in the saddle again. Heading to Hot Springs Arkansas in the morning. Been too long since we took the buggies out to play.

Yes looks like it goes down the middle of the property. Found a little gun range not too far away and put a few rounds down range. Last night a dumb @$$ was pouring gas on his fire and blew the can up. Had to medi vac him out. Not sure the outcome of that but made an interesting evening. Three nights of the thoughtless, self centered,brain dead moron running his loud ass generator is getting quite old. About ready for a green tip to find its way through the engine block. Thankfully the ambulance is prettywell insulated and quiet inside. Other than that been a great weekend.

It really is difficult to fix stupid.
We all know ways, but it could be costly.

Finally a peaceful evening. Relaxing day today capped off with... "where's the meat?" ... "we ate all the meat didn't we?"..... "ummmm ya. I thought you gonna get the steaks" "no I got the deer meat n burger meat no steaks." "I got can chili, mashed taters n cheese" ohhhhh hell ya!!!!.
And moved my mattress across the front. Fixed lots of wasted space issues but no more 6' red heads hehehe.

Home safe and sound. Throw out bearing is trash. Now to decide how to start replacing the drive train and axles and minimize down time. Getting spoiled camping with the ol girl. With no wind to speak of and pulling a buggy I got a little over 9mpg, get about 1/2 that with headwind. Thinking with 4:56 maybe 11 or 12mpg.

My son has them and he set them up. They work well for us but honestly only used them on 2 trips. We were 2 mile markers apart and pretty clear. I have a intercom set up that I hooked to this trip and that helped me a lot both on hearing and transmission. Truck is too loud otherwise. They seem a lot clearer than cb.

He said that we use GMRS only and had to get a license for it. Took about 5 days.

Yes, My son said that a lot of HAM guys fuss at people that have these because it too easy to use the frequencies you have to take the test for. With GMRS you have to get a license but it restricted to GMRS use and whoever is on the license (family). We will get our HAM license one of these days but its a time thing and we dont use the radios enough. I think that I said everything correctly. Im not educated enough on this stuff.

yes for sure. I think there will be a lot of things that are licensed now that will probably be out the door then.
See if this will help.
