I actually went for a spin off-road. First time in a while.

It's an app called Canada Topo Maps. They amalgamate a bunch of maps from various sources into one app. It shows all sorts of abandoned roads and structures.

I have a topo map application for my android phone and it's great. You can record really precise trails. I use it for mapping trails you can't see on the satellite view.

I always wanted to install custom topographic maps on the Uconnect but I haven't ever been able to figure that out. I just use a phone app now.

I just have the regular PADI open water certification right now. I'm not sure how many dives I have so far, I'd have to go check the log book. It's not enough to start any training like that, I would be doing a bunch more regular diving before that. I don't really know any other divers, everyone...

I've seen pictures of those signs. I wouldn't go into anywhere like that. There aren't any underwater caverns round here anyway. I would like to take that course eventually though.

Hey that's pretty cool. I never dove caves. My gear is definitely not up to par enough to dive anywhere but open water. I thought that tooth was an old block and tackle at first glance. The water here is a little chilly, I have a semi-dry suit. I'm not really sure what that means, you still...

Honestly that sounds just like our groundfish trawlers, a bunch of re-purposed new-to-them boats patched up with bubblegum weld and electrical tape. Lucky you made it back to land. I do some diving too. I usually go off my parent's boat. They have a cabin cruiser at a marina close to some good...

Anyway. I centered it better and it looks good now. I doubt it mattered much to anyone around here but it's on my vehicle and I'm the one having to look at it all the time. I still have the best looking welding vehicle around, all the other shops have rusted out pickup trucks or cube vans. The...

I may end up doing that. I'm gonna use these to see how they hold up against the windshield wipers.

I added my company name and phone number to the Jeep today. I went with a windshield banner because it stays on when my roof and doors come off. I'm still going to get my logo professionally made to go on the doors but that's too complicated for me to do at home. The stickers were cut with my...

Are the carpets removed? The floors do get hot. I ripped all the carpet out of mine and found some warning stickers underneath about that so they do expect some amount of heat in that area.

Those salty Quebec roads have taken their toll on that body. I've done some auto body welding and I could probably weld that so someone else should be able to as wel.

I killed my winch today. I was using it to uproot some very overgrown high bush blueberry bushes and the winch just died. I did the first bush no problem and we went to do the second one and the winch gradually slowed down and stopped. The engine was on and the battery is charged. When...

Smittybilt makes good bumpers. My ex went through a stop sign with my Jeep and hit a Chevrolet 2500. It bent the truck frame. I figure the only thing that saved my vehicle from being a write-off was the bumper.
