  1. 7/13 Drove from Billings to Glacier NP got in late and noticed an oil leak under the truck. Figured that I would take a look in the morning. Tuesday 7/14 the leak was massive and had to be dealt with before we could go to Yellowstone. Found one shop 35 minutes away that could look at it on 7/15. Everywhere else was 1-2 weeks away from being able to take a look at it. I guess the mechanic business is good near Glacier. Had it towed to their shop (thank you AAA). We also found the last rental car in the area, so we were good. The shop led me to believe that there was a possibility that the truck could be ready by Friday 7/17. They were full of shit. It was ready on Tuesday 7/21 at closing time. So 4 nights in Glacier turned into 8. We were extremely lucky that we were able to find a rental car the whole time and that our campground was able to let us stay in our spot the whole time. The folks at North American RV were the nicest people that I could have asked for.
  2. 12, 9 & 6 Flights are dirt cheap right now into Glacier National Airport in Kalispell, MT. I looked last week and I could have flown non-stop from Dallas for $218 RT. Might be worth the Rona risk.
  3. 7/11 drive to Mount Rushmore and camp at Custer State Park. I had no real desire to see Mount Rushmore, but it was the right distance from our last stop to make sense. Mount Rushmore always a bit meh, but the kids enjoyed it. Their favorite part was the scoop of ice cream at the end. The unexpected main attraction was Custer State Park in South Dakota. This place was great. We could have easily spent 4 nights there and not gotten bored. Had sex with the wife in the RV spot next to the shitter in the Blue Bell campground at Custer State Park. 7/12 drove to Billings, MT and stayed at the KOA campground. The basic ($60) campsites suck. Pay the extra $20 for the upgraded site. The swimming pool was packed so we avoided that, but the putt putt course was decent. The kids got some s’mores so they were happy.
  4. Leave Dallas and arrive in bumfuck Nebraska on 7/10. Did you know that Nebraska has a National Forest? Well you do now. It actually seems like a decent place if you have a 4 wheeler, dirt bike or horse. Drove through a torrential downpour in Oklahoma. During which a piece of my travel trailer decided to come loose and drag behind me. Had to pull over on the shoulder on I35 in the rain with 18 wheelers passing about 4 feet away from me while I reattached the trim piece. Fortunately I had some self tapping screws.
  5. On the 4th of July I decided that my family needed to get out of the house for a while. We’ve got a travel trailer and my wife and I have a little extra vacation this year since we really haven’t used any yet. The plan is to leave Dallas on 7/10 and return on 7/25. The itinerary includes Mt Rushmore, Glacier NP, Yellowstone NP and Rocky Mountain NP. In spite of virtually zero advanced planning, I am able to secure campsites prior to departure at every location. It’s a lot for 17 days, but I think we can pull it off. The biggest risk is my truck (2003 Excursion 6.0L) or my travel trailer having issues. * I meant to start this thread a couple of weeks ago so I’ll be writing my first few posts a week or two “late”.
  6. If your company was worth a shit they would have increased the reimbursement by 1/3 so your after-tax money would be about the agreed upon amount.
  7. Add some carmelized onions and roasted garlic to take it to 11.
  8. 1. Do you realize that just about any decent smoker can be outfitted with a controller? 2. There’s no reason to stay up all night tending a smoker unless you either want to or unless you are eating BBQ for breakfast. Most briskets and butts can be cooked in 5-6 hours.
  9. Shut your fucking face you Uncle fucker.
  10. Does she know what you did to her mother on that table?
  11. Listen to this man
  12. @Wulaw Horn your kids are definitely never going to want to sleep in a tent with you.
  13. PM South Austin’s mom
  14. Leftover beef enchiladas that I made last night that I decided to have for breakfast this morning.
  15. Who wants to join me in my quest for world domination?
  16. What’s the minimum amount of time you would recommend staying at/near Yellowstone?
  17. This guy has upper management written all over him.
  18. Poke them with your finger. When you can easily go a knuckle deep, they’re done.
  19. I believe that ranchers had to hang on to their cows a bit longer when all of the packing plants were closed. More time = more weight That’s about 3x longer than it could have taken you.
  20. WTF happened to your table?
  21. I’ll have seconds.
