Thanks. Yeah, I'm talking about road trips too, usually going a couple hundred miles or so each way, and stopping along the way to explore little towns and fun looking places. I guess I've never been to the parts of the country with an 85 mph speed limit. It sounds like something I'd want to...

The speed limit around here is 65 mph. Why would I want to go 90? I want to keep my driver's license and not get expensive tickets. I seriously do not understand the need for speed.

Fwiw, I ony have one vehicle now and when the Slate comes out, it will be my only vehicle.

Thanks! 😊 And also thanks for the earlier rec, which I remembered today: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=TIDRADIO+TD-H3 I guess I'll get into the weeds on radios for a bit. While we're waiting to hear more about the Slate. 😉 I actually am glad that there are ways to call for help that didn't use...

I had an AM/FM/Weather radio years ago, that had a hand crank and also batteries. But I lost it. I'm looking for a new one. Any recs?

Thanks! Interesting feature, I like it.

That looks like a very nice tent. A lot heavier than my Eureka Sunrise 11, which unfortunately they don't make anymore. Nice tent with great ventilation, easy to set up once you figure it out and only 24 lbs. vs. 61 lbs for the Backcountry T5. And I'm watching my weight with the Slate 😉

Lol, well indeed yes, anything that I get does need a kayak carrier! 🥰 But I do love the innovation! The only reason I wouldn't want one is that my tent has an 11' x 11' floor size and fits a queen size cot. I just got a queen sized Exped MegaMat too. I wasn't kidding about glamping! 😉 Also...

Other interesting bits: They have orders from Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Hey sodamo! And also: "to date we've had 9.3 million different configurations created on the Slate Maker." I did three of them, that was enough. I wonder how many people have done them and how many, and how...

Oh I love that! So sweet. 😊 And I think I heard that same thing about front cameras. What madness.

Nope. I specifically said that I didn't care about towing. I cared about payload only. Google gave me that info. I couldn't find it on Ford's page and I stood corrected about that. I still would never want a Maverick.

I'm with you on wanting something that fits in a parking space. And absolutely agree that the extra doors eat into bed space. No thanks. So, 1500 lbs. The Maverick still has too many drawbacks, including a shorter bed. I also don't care about top speed. I just want to safely get where I'm going...

I think they're real people. Only because when I was chatting with one of them this fall, they told me their name and that we'd met at the in person event in Hollister and I of course remembered them and we had a little chit-chat. It's rather unusual of course, most chat agents are bots. I've...

As I said, I don't care about towing. I will never tow anything. I know some people want that, but I am not one of those people. A Google search told me that the hauling capacity was 1,156 to 1,545 lbs. I couldn't find this info on any of Ford's pages and I didn't feel like knocking myself out...

I don't know what I would get. I really want a smallish 2 door EV truck with a camper shell and a roof rack. Something big enough to haul my glamping equipment and my kayaks. That I can see over the hood and not miss small children, which apparently is a problem with some of the newer pickups...

What I'd like to see in a new model is a two door truck, pretty much the same as the original model, but with a longer bed. And with some kind of camper shell with windows. And roof rails. With more cargo capacity. Improved batteries would always be nice. I'm still never going to tow anything...

For a minute, I was thinking of Haleakala, on Maui, where people descend on bikes. Haven't done it myself though it sounds marvelous.

Yeah, probably getting kittens used to something is way easier than trying to teach an old cat new tricks. 😉

The trick with cats is to get some feliway spray, which does something to calm them. Spray that on a towel, put the towel in the crate and leave it open for them to get used to. Then find the cat and get them in somehow or other and be prepared for them to meow loudly the whole trip. Hopefully...

Without comment 😉
