I hope little Monty makes his way back soon Rodney....
Finally got a partial pic of the awning while loading up for the long weekend.

That reminds me that I think something in my awning is broken. I need to see if it will deploy or not.

Grass Flap is at the top right now but really struggling with getting the $300 out of my wallet................
Grass clippings make a nice mulch for perennials.

Wouldn't mind seeing a picture of that.

Well, the prodigal son has returned. Maryann found him when she got home from work. The idiot had found his way behind some old fencing about 1.5' high in the woods behind the house and didn't realize he could go over or around it so he just sat there for 6 hours terrified. Damn fool....

Damn, I wished my “Don impersonation” worked so good! LOL! At least it works someplace!

Well, much like the Titan fuel tank for my truck that I ordered at an awesome pre-sale price then cancelled the day it was shipping, only to re-order and beg to get the price again... I decided that the Jeep did indeed need some help in the bass department. The upgraded HK system was VERY nice and one of the best factory systems I've come across. But, what I mistook for bass initially was all mid bass. So, listening to modern pop type music was 100% perfect as those songs are all mid. However, that's not the type of music I frequently listen too. More often it's country, rock, or retro 70's and 80's stuff. All of those genres had no punch at all. So, it was time to re-order the Stealthbox that I returned to Crutchfield earlier in the month. The price I got was hard to beat as JL had an OE 10% off promotion and retailers generally don't put them on sale without JL being the one to take the hit. However, I caught Sonic Electronix having a 15% off flash sale and ordered up. Beat my previous deal by $20 even after paying the return fee! After a brief delay due to a backorder, the second unit arrived on Wed. I installed it today. Took me about 4 hours and I don't think a shop could have done it any faster. I reused my amp from the X5. Now, I have the best system of any vehicle I've ever owned. Not just for volume or irritating the neighbors but rather, very full and dynamic. $600 well spent!

Thanks buddy! It sounds awesome. Only out of the ordinary thing was I had to disconnect the active noise cancellation mics up front or else I'd get a drone when the MDS kicks in. Very easy straight easy install.

Here is what the slide where the pucks run look like. And the way the clutch engages is now a big plus over stock!

Looks like you got it just in time Don. I saw the pics you texted me too. It's amazing how fast the stock design can wear on the clutch. I have no idea why Polaris doesn't change their design. It's the same clutch on all the RZR, General, and Ranger 1k models and it's bad on every one...

Nice clean install, BTW! And good to hear Monty came back ok. I don't think our indoor cat would act much different outside.

It's one of my Makita GV5000 sanders from work. I use them for exterior sanding during house paint jobs. I think they are on to the model GV5010 now but I'm sure it's the same animal. I always used it with ceramic resin 36D discs. In the pic, I was showing I used it to grind off the plastic welds holding the two panels together.
