hitch cargo carriers (basket)

Finally used ours and I must admit they are handy and bang for buck. I even wondered about the tolls but no same as just the car itself.

Now I would not carry 500 lbs because that's a lever and would apply more than that on the tongue of the hitch receiver.

funny thing happened at a get together this weekend

My wife's aunt had a surprise b-day party and her cousin truly pulled it off. It's difficult and "nice" when people are really surprised.

Anyway, wife's uncle asks me if I want their gas grill.

I laugh as I thought it was a joke they just got it a few months ago. I've been without 5 years and using a Weber kettle/charcoal, and was going to get one but the pandemic blah blah blah

Should Transport Departments Lie For Safety?

The context for this article is that here in CO Interstate 70 has been closed for weeks due to a mudslide which is a consequence of a wildfire last year. It re-opened today with one lane in each direction and it is anticipated that it won’t be fully open ‘til ski season. I am under the impression that the open lanes have a lot of hard caked mud and the speed limit is 35 MPH.
