I can confirm that. I grew up in Wisconsin.
That little white space south of Green Bay is not a dry county, it is Lake Winnebago.
In reality probably 60% of the fishermen on that lake are drinking beer. The other 40% are drinking rum or other hard stuff. But since they live elsewhere...
My Engel has been good for 25 years and counting, but new ones are about $1200, I think. I added a Setpower AJ30 after AZScorpion got his and while I haven't used it a lot I am happy with it. It fits the small backseat area of my Supercab better than the Engel. Its great for the shorter trips...
I can't speak for the Dometic itself ( I don't have one) but a portable fridge and a second battery to run it is certainly a game changer. I bought an Engel in 2000 for my then-new Jeep and I loved it. I ran the starter battery down a couple times and learned a second battery and an isolater...
I drove in Wisconsin for 20+ years with 2WD. The only time I ever got stuck and needed a tow was when I fell asleep and drove into a ditch. I never had 4WD until I moved to Arizona. I don't really need it but I do like it.
OK, mud tires explains it in my mind. They don't work well on pavement, and probably shouldn't be used at speed on pavement. I am speaking from experience from a Jeep I once had. Those tires were great off road, but sucked on pavement.
Now at 4 years old and 22,000 miles, I still have no interest in a "truck" with a 5' bed.
If I didn't want a truck I would buy an SUV. More comfort, better gas mileage, lower price.
I just hope this transmission holds up a few more years until I get put in a nursing home.
Clovis NM is much worse than Amarillo. I had to live there almost a year while in the Air Force. My POS mobile home was just downwind of the stockyards. Amarillo smells pretty good when you are coming out of Clovis.
I learned about this in grade school science class about 60 years ago. It never ceases to amaze me how many people buy black cars and trucks here in AZ. My red one is bad enough.
Cholla buds seem to work best for packrats. Its one of their favorite nesting materials, and I have lots of them around. I have also used rat poison blocks.
That is what I use for packrats. If you release them alive they will come right back. I take them swimming and release them afterwards. The buzzards do the rest.
I have seen similar things with Android before. You play music in some app, and then some other music starts playing, and you can't control it - its not coming from the app.
As far as I know its an Android bug.
I used to have an Android tablet that did that, my friends Android phone has...
