Lots of small snakes in the grass. I suspect thats dinner.

Nice looking bird.


`taking the jeep to Redline muffler in Loveland in the morning. Looking to "fix" what the prior two exhaust shops have not gotten right. I'm learning. The "midway" support - off of the trans to the exhaust pipe near the cat - was not (perhaps for as long as I've owned the jeep) installed. I didn't know about it until a couple years ago. As such the exhaust system drops down a bit and this pushes the exhaust manifold down pipe into the front driveshaft (not normally, but when flexing over rocks) - punching a hole into the downtube giving a loud exhaust. I hope to have this issue FIXED, for good, this week!

Then for the steering column lower bearing - gone - and backordered everywhere.

Good luck with the exhaust!

The hawk was back today for lunch, My wife actually saw it catch a snake and fly away.
