I made birria tacos today. Simmered a ox tail, some fatty spare ribs and a chuck roast all day. It was great.

A little to early to start on this, but it smells great. Tonight's adult beverage is decided already.

@Eoin - If there is any sun where you are today then, "Is the sun over the yardarm?" If so then have at it...pace is the watchword.  Enjoy-

Lucked into another "snake" gun today.  Drove about an hour to get it.  This is the King Cobra, .357 Magnum Target Model.  4.25" barrel.  Now I need to decide whether to shoot it or not.

Looks sharp.  I would not at all be surprised if you’re happier with that purchase in the long run.

I don't see those Broncos losing value anytime soon. They should hold their value as much if not more than used Wranglers. Especially as time goes on with accessories coming to the market.

I don’t either, unless they can’t solve the gremlins. They sure got a lot of em

Thanks guys, looking forward to a nice ride, the car I traded in they gave me $500 for and said they didn’t really want it.. so that should give you a idea of the scale of upgrade. If I was a bumper sticker guy I think a BGE sticker would blend in nicely!

A front premium parking spot at my kids school auction.   A relative bargain. The Lego set auctioned after that spot went for 17k.

You would be amazed at what Unopened Lego sets go for in the secondary market.  If this was a 'Lot' with 6 or 7 total sets you could get there without to much hassle.

These were school donation bids.  

I did want the Lego set though.  3600 pieces.

That is pretty cool.  From a school donation standpoint it makes a lot of sense.  You can only deduct the portion above the market price, so that person gets a cool set and a nice tax deduction, and the school gets a huge influx of dollars.  Sounds like you have a good parent group.

@alaskanassasin Sharp looking ride, I'm digging the bronze rims. Do you have any other close up pictures of the running boards? SWMBO wants some for her 4runner. She want's new rims too but she will have to wait on those.

alaskanassasin

Thanks! I really don’t like the running boards, I just pivot out of the seat and stick my feet on the ground so the running boards hit the back of my calves. I also bypass them when I get it but I will give it a week or so before I remove them.

They do not fit into the mudflap.  I actually replaced the Predator steps on my Venture with these.  Keep an eye out on the 4runner forum classifieds for free take offs.  That's what I did.  If your gonna be in the rocks, get sliders.  If your looking for a step for the wife.  These are good.  Most sliders do not protrude enough to be a decent step for the picky.
