Good morning everyone!

Put in a 180-degree thermostat last night in my wife's Odyssey. Was a little more difficult than I expected, a rats nest of wiring makes access to the lower bolt a bit difficult. Taking it for a test drive this morning, and then we're off to the Mall of America with some friends who are visiting from Texas.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hope the mini van gets nice and toasty inside Tom....
Good luck at MOA... That place has got to be a zoo...
Well unless the Black Lives group makes it impassable...

Good morning everybody.

Hopefully your new thermostat delivers for you Tom.

The protests at MOA didn't work so well Randy. They tried to shut the airport down instead.

I saw that on the news down here (that they invaded the airport)....

You know what - ALL LIVES MATTER - not just Black, White, etc.. The way they are going about this just helps alienate themselves from most of decent society.
Frankly - I hope the Metropolitan Airports Commission and MOA ownership throws the book at them by pressing charges all the way...

I don't believe in sport killing or whatever you might call it.
I was raised to only kill if it is to save my own life or if I am going to eat or wear whatever it was that I was hunting. The military changed part of that for me for a while, but I've held true to those principles..

I would only shoot what I would eat also. Most deer hunters do Randy.

The BLM people will "maybe' get a slap on the wrist. Nothing more.

The one we test drove was the Edge Sport. It comes with the bigger wheels. You can find one with "normal" size wheels too. We told home we like both but are leaning towards the Explorer for more room.
