Early August 2022
Yakin it up at Baker Lake I took an early morning trip up after this one, I launched farther up lake on perfect calm water, not another soul in sight. As I started paddling there was a Loon sitting on the lake that started calling as if on cue, so surreal- Loons are pretty rare around here. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750869177.jpg |

Wow!
A decade goes by fast, bought my PU used in 2015 with less than 20K on it. It's been fantastic, I did have a head bolt break and got them all replaced with the recommended version. Closing in on 100K now and I still really like this truck. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750954628.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750954628.JPG Son, you know you need to balance the carbs after rebuilding them, right?

Since GM no longer sells a 2500 4x4 suburban and a dealer friend of mine, told me a few years ago, if what I currently own was still available, it would start at $125k :eek: I’ve had the transmission rebuild and upgraded, done the brakes, Bilstiens, bare metal paint, the fact that I could get a crate engine, with warranty, installed for less than $10k (like Glen did for his ElCamino) makes it a “No Brainer” that I would be dead, long before I spent the money on mine, before reaching the replacement costs. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1750983698.jpg |

Summer is in full bloom
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1751034564.jpg Took my Trek E-bike to a local place called the Zimmerman Hillclimb. Walked it down to a landing, locked it up and started hiking up and down the stairs- great workout, rarely see anyone else and it’s tucked into a nice stand of trees providing shade. Three times up and down the 200 steps is enough for me. I continued on and turned it into a 6 mile bike ride. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1751034564.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1751034564.jpg |
