It was pretty good! Friday was spent watching movies with the family and my sister. Saturday was spent watching the boys most of the day, then going out to eat and to Kings Island (an amusement park). Sunday was spent watching USA lose the Women's World Cup and hiding from the sun...it was hot!!!!

How about you?

My weekend was pretty low key. I didn't do anything noteworthy. I worked on my website, I went to Barnes and Noble and took advantage of the Criterion Collection sale, and then I went to work on Sunday. I drove the Jeep around as much as possible, I hate to talk about that thing so much, but man I love it.

 

[Diggin Deep]

Sounds like a good weekend. Why do you hate to talk about your jeep?

I feel like it sounds like I am bragging, and I'm not. It's a Jeep, not a Masterati.

I've never gotten that impression...besides us middle class folk can be just as excited about a jeep or a truck as the rich folk can about a Masterati!

Good point, buddy.

Yesterday I went out to go to work, and there was a light drizzle the night before. I had water in my cup holders and my seats were wet. Shortly after I got to work the sun came out, and dried it right up.

LOL...You got to love that! Do you have a hard and soft top for it? How much of a pain is it to open it up an close it every day.

I have the hardtop. It's two pieces and the back portion weighs 140 lbs. I can easily lift it, but due to the awkwardness of the weight distribution, I can't put it on by myself. I just leave the tops off all the time, it's sunny here in the Bay Area.

Quit Bragging!!!! LOL :jk

I am bragging about the top that is too awkward for me to remove and re-attach myself. :24:

 

[Diggin Deep]

LOL...I'm a goof like that! Good Morning BTW

Nice and good for you!!! However, I'm not a Toyota fan, so you and I can't be freinds anymore! LOL...I'm so just kidding

:24: Haha! Why not a Toyota? I love those a they seem to last for a long time with very minor repair needs. I saw ur Ford truck tho' :thumbup

I was supposed to get a Subaru Tribeca but changed my mind as the reviews of 4Runner are so much better. Besides I love that it can go dirt road and mountain driving eh!

Oh... good for you.

Thanks

 

[Darrell]

Nice, Poo Poo Doo Doo. I've always loved Four Runners. :thumbup

 

[purpledove]

Me too! I can race you!

I only have a sunroof though. Wishing they have topdown editions for 4Runners eh. It's be awesome
