part of what's depressing is that at my site, i used to be a part of a team of what was at one time 18 people. there are now 2 of us left.
Hey, at least it's not in an area full of big ol' trees. And wind storms that like to blow over said trees.
FTS-o-meter seems to be broken.
At the day job we have a couple of instruments at a customer location that are whack-a-mole serial trouble makers. Fix one bug, fly home, get a call two days later about a new bug. This has been going on for years.
Every 3 or 4 months I’ll roll my boulder that is this problem up the mountain to management. Today was that day. I got two separate management responses: 1) how come you haven’t made us aware of this earlier? and 2) so what do you want me to do about it?
I do not plan to roll this particular boulder up the mountain anymore.

Sí.
CX-9 Grand Touring, which will be the nicest vehicle either of us has ever owned. Heated steering wheel, even.
my car is pretty loaded but the only option is does NOT have is a heating steering wheel. 
I shall not make that mistake again.

I want a heated and cooled steering wheel.
But yeah, it’s awesome, especially since we don’t have a garage.

With my nerve damage I rarely notice the heat on my steering wheel but I still turn it on and pretend I can feel the warmth.
You think someone without a garage in Wyoming can even be bougie?
I probably missed this somewhere, but are you happy about where you're going?
I've been told heated steering wheel is pretty awesome. I assume my next vehicle will have one, as I want it to be an electric vehicle, and pre-conditioning the car while still plugged into the house will be key to extending battery range in the cold.
but I still can't help but feel there's nothing wrong with driving with gloves on. even with an ancient transmission like mine that requires a pedal and a gear selection lever for each change. I think heated steering wheels are there mostly to make it easier to use your screen while driving. caus' for sure trying to fuck with your phone with gloves on, or worse pulling gloves on and off to fuck with your phone is a pain in the arse...

When their house is worth 12 million bucks... sure.You think someone without a garage in Wyoming can even be bougie?
Yes. Looking into staying inland with the likes of Fernie, Rossland, Castlegard, and maybe Revelstoke and Golden. No coast.
Well, I’m out, our little Boise Cascade is only worth $12mm, thankfully.When their house is worth 12 million bucks... sure.
I even wear Carhartt’s to the Cowboy Bar to virtue signal that I changed my oil myself that one time.
preconditioning the car when it's on battery power is also awesome even if it takes off a mile or two of range.
because then it's immediately nice and cozy. I've got my alarm set to turn mine on about 5 minutes before I step out the door this afternoon at the end of my shift
Shouldn't gloves fix the cold steering wheel thing?my car is pretty loaded but the only option is does NOT have is a heating steering wheel.
you shouldn't fuck with your phone while driving....you shouldn't fuck with you phone, period.
yes, completely.
Well, sure, if you have heated gloves. (I like how tiny they made the price, lol)

Revelstoke was nice on the eyes. Hit up Martha Creek if you can get someone to shuttle....or you feel like 6thelement and want to do the 5000 foot climb
Might also recommend Moose Mountain in Alberta...trails are wicked. Climb is wicked too...
my Outdoor Research ones were "only" $329 when I got 'em in 2022. and they're great.
well, they were great. one broke down, which makes me sadpanda. (awaiting lifetime warranty claim processing.)

I'll look those up.
I noticed a brown haze had settled in almost every day in Saltillo. In the morning one could see the dust spewing out of what looked like a quarry. Crap gets trapped in the valley?
There is some cool hiking at the top of Martha Creek too.
It's just outside of Revelstoke National Park, but I think it's just wilderness of provincial land, so no dog rules or anything like that.
The Forest road to the top was very long, but there was a van parked at the top. Would be a kick-ass spot to camp up there.
This is from the top parking/clearing area
Nice spot to jump in the (rocky) lake at the campground across the street from the trail exit too.
Nice! Those are the kind of camping spot we crave. So far looking at many networks, seems like it would be easy to free camp.There is some cool hiking at the top of Martha Creek too.

Don't know about Saltillo but here in Juarez we are surrounded by desert so when it gets windy we get a lot of dust and the occasional sand storm.
A large heated shop will take care of a cool steering wheel. Just sayin.my car is pretty loaded but the only option is does NOT have is a heating steering wheel.
You could call people from Chiapas that live here Jawas
