Just received my Bulletpoint Dash Mounting gear. Very high quality gear. I hope their customer service as good as manufacturing. They seem to have left out one of my carbon fiber mount rods…☹

Update: Bulletpoint, within an hour of getting my email, shipped out the missing item and a bonus item. Best customer service I’ve had online ever!

I love battery jump packs, what great tools. Some of you know I use one to work on the old FJ40 Land Cruiser and, to me, they seem impressive.

Last week my daughter's car died at the gas station - it was wicked pissah cold and she'd only driven it a mile to get to the gas station.

I drove up with my jump pack as well as Kate's. But neither had been recharged in a year or so. And they sit out in the car and truck at temps down to 0° this winter.

I connected one to her car and asked her to crank on it when I did and, vroom vroom, her car started. It was connected for one second!

So not for Soupie, I got a little plastic boat this past summer and even though I have two tow insurances (SeaTow and TowBoatU.S. because it's not like Miami where each company has a a few dozen boats - there's one SeaTow boat in Elliot Maine (4 miles up river from where I launch for the Atlantic and one TowBoatU.S. boat in Newburyport, 14 miles away).

Both will do jump starts (something like 30% of their service calls) but I figured I'd get a jump pack for the boat. But since the boat is so tiny, I wanted a decent one but very compact too.

$99 https://myweego.com/products/weego-44s

It's about 5.6″ x 3.4″ x 1″ and weighs 11 ounces, so pretty friggin' compact. Plenty big for a 30 horsepower, 30 cubic inch (500 cc) motor.

No SOS flashlight or any extra crap, just a jumper. But it should also work well for a Ranger and, without its case, it would fit in the glove box or easily under a seat (it does come with the case).

And how nuts is this!?!

I wanted to share a pic of the little boat but not a pic I might have shared here earlier (let no one say I reuse material).

So Nano Banana created this image just from a long shot of Kate at the dock. I asked the AI to make a pic of two women taking lake water samples in New Hampshire. It looks like a NH lake, complete with giant friggin' boulders and even got the reg number right! The only issue is both are sitting on folded down seats, but you could sit like that. Kate's driving and that's a good likeness, but I dunno who the other one is, maybe a Dump Babe attracted by Soupie's chin chain! =D

This AI stuff is really convincing ...

Dug out from last Sundays snow storm. I would have done it yesterday. But some limbs came down. And I had to wait for the boro to do something. I did go to work. Got home with enough light to dig out.

Yes, I’m now part of THAT cult. Not the other cult, just this one. I do have some dignity, you know. Even if it is only a shred.

Dignity? You lost that when you put those lights on (and the grille) being a Raptor wanna be. 😏

With that said I have those lights (the 4 light version) and a damper so there's that. :confused:

I keep waiting for someone to show up here with a DOOD or DORF grille that DIDN'T change the lettering around.

Because you KNOW somewhere, someone has done that.

I notice in your Signature line you @mention Dave. I wonder if every single time you post, he receives a notification that “Chris M mentioned you in a post in the thread…” and he goes to the thread looking for your post.

That only works in main posts. Otherwise I would've had to have changed that years ago. 🤬

Hey Loren,

No, it is not from Custom Auto Works. I bought it off Amazon in Canada. Brand name is “Rioler”. It appears to be identical to this one on the Amazon USA site…
