Plastic caliber covers. Should be punishable by death.

I was gonna say the same thing, those are way to large and plasticky looking to be actual brakes?!?

I mean, everybody should cover their Dodge Calibers with plastic covers, so we don't have to see them...  :popo:

Another nice sunset tonight. Had to pull over on the way home tonight to snap this.

Yeah, it was plus 14 today. Still a 2 km loop of x-country skiing up at the Nordic Centre, but it’s getting pretty slushy.  :-\

Buddy was out for a bike ride today, but I couldn’t make it. Curious to hear how wet/icy/slushy the trails are now. Might try to get out for a last ride tomorrow.

Kid came home a few days earlier than they thought...


Should've taken a shot from the other side of the camper...that thing makes the camper look small... :P  Quite the load for someone who just got his Class 1 license this year.  Good thing he's been using large farm equipment since he was 15.  You call this big??  ;)

Does he need to quarantine?
After just driving though ND you would think you need an alcohol bath  :hurl:

It's new this year...held up fine.  I'm thinking if he did that regularly, it wouldn't take long to wreck it.  He was only there long enough to dump all his belongings and then off to bring it back to work.

Technically no - "essential service" he is.  He said he must've met 100 people or more who'd had Covid and who were "over it"...guess time will tell.  He's not at work for 2 weeks, but he is home, and he's fine.  No symptoms, nothing.  If he's got it, we don't know yet...if in 6 months I'm radio silent...it's been fun!  :P :-X  I was thinking of sticking him in the neigbours house - I have her keys and she's not coming back anytime soon... ;D  He can water her plants...sleep in her bed...nothing creepy about that at all. 

He needed an alcohol bath just from talking to all the people in Red...fanatical tw@ts that they are.  Nice people, but really...best to avoid politics.

Took a walk down to the beach with Mrs. Railton and the boys at Lunch. 22 degrees here today. So far Fall 2020 is rocking it WX wise.

Agree, they look so much better in the metal than in photos.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

My friend's 2020 Ram 1500.  Love the looks of these, inside and out, and this shade of blue suits it just right imo.  Pretty darn impressive vehicle indeed.

Probably the same one I've seen.  There can't be many in Winnipeg.

earlier in the year, i saw something come up beside me and slowly pass me and was wondering what MB product it was...it was an AMG GT 63S...really nice looking car.
