Used some left over tint to tint the high beam spot that’s not being used.

Swapped the morimoto mini H1 version 7.0 to the newest 8.0 version. A redesigned projector that has a brighter , whiter , and wider beam than the previous version. Comes with a blue lens and J slope shields for a smoother and just plain sexier cut-off :drool:View attachment 264027View attachment 264028 View attachment 264029
But it means I’ll lose the etching and red passive demon eye. I’m actually okay with that tho.

Had a visitor show up the other night , woke me up around 3am . Looking for left over Halloween pumpkins, they love them. I have video of it, pretty cool. I can hear my guns screaming at me to let them out but not allowed to kill this sweet tasting animal inside city limits :biggun:View attachment 264039

Was about 15 degrees outside , crazy how these animals survive
I saw one in the middle of a BC lake when I was in my teens. He was swimming to an island and I thought something was wrong with him because he swam up to a near-vertical rock slope covered in wet moss. There wasn’t any way for a human to get up that side of the island, it was too steep and slippery. I was thinking there was nowhere for him to go but he just climbed straight up that rock wall like a damn goat. It was a few hundred feet to the top. We just sat there in our little fishing boat going WTF. And the water was cold enough to kill a human too.

What did he do just chill there? They suck at climbing stuff I know that lol. Big and clumsy animals. Not nearly as majestic as goats lol.

My brother was out hiking in the Rockies this summer with my niece and one morning they had just gotten up and we’re getting ready to fix breakfast when my brother said my niece just froze and pointed to something behind him. He slowly turned around and there was a big bull moose coming straight towards their campsite. They stood deathly still and watched as it just strolled right on by like they weren’t even there. My brother is 6-7 and he said he had to look up at its rack.

Ha! Yeah-I’m 6-1 and I’m the runt of the family. Here is a picture of all us kids from a few years ago. (I was about 60lbs heavier than I am now in that photo.)

Looks like even your sisters are tall! I was cheated :oops:. I WAS 5'9 1/2" in high school. I'm MAYBE 5'8" now. You do shrink as you get older.

Chillin at the cousins house spending all weekend baking Christmas presents for the family. Lol our great grandma had her own “Chex mix” style snack that she invented years before Chex mix was invented. mans every person who’s ever tried it says my great grandmas version is better than Chex mix. It’s the bomb and was only made around Christmas time. After she passed I took it upon myself to be the one to bake them during Christmas. I didn’t have time last year because of working on the oil fields. But this year I have time. Each family member gets their own batch. Sooo delicious and it’s one thing I can do to bring happiness to the end of 2020:nono:

On the way to my cousins something caught my eye . Apparently this neighborhood is known to light up the block every year. I had no idea. So I turned around and had to get some pics. It was a mild 1 degree out and the frost was extra frosty that day which made the lights glow even more.

Been tossing around a cheap and easy mod in my head for a while . Decided to give it a go. Strategically laid down knifeless tape then wrapped the turn signal housings in gloss black

There’s a couple vids on how to use the tape on YouTube . Its tough to get started , make sure you have enough slack at the end to grab into. But once it starts to cut it worked awesome.

Looks good, very different so I’m happy. But after install I seen the switchbacks are so bright they actually shine through the solid gloss black wrap :eek:
