    More "what should I buy" questions- Grand Cherokee

    At this stage, and with the fact that will be DD, looking newer. Hoping whatever rig end up with to be '08 or newer.

    More "what should I buy" questions- Grand Cherokee

    Hopefully there is not a limit on how often I can ask for advice on different vehicles before being banned from RME! As mentioned before, looking for vehicle that is primarily daily driver (80 miles/day), but also good off-road and hunting rig. My Montero Sport fit the bill well before...

    2000 LX470, 142K miles, lots of maint items done

    Falls about where I want to spend on a rig, but older than hoping for, plus need to lift and new tires soon. But open to some arm twisting. About what MPG are you getting, especially highway?

    Today I Want This....

    The only argument I have heard as to why higher oil prices are good has absolutely nothing to do with its effect on the broader economy (the other jobs/industries involved as noted above) but that it reflects the broader economy. Meaning strong economic growth means increased demand for oil...

    Your best practices when negotiating a salary...

    This is a great point! Look beyond just the hourly/monthly pay and see what else they have to offer. This is especially true when it comes to 'raises'. I offer my employees a match of up to 3% of their pay into a 401(k) after one year employment- a guaranteed 3% raise. But very few take us...

    Wiggys sleeping bags

    Photo is a musher, checkpoint about 100 miles south of Churchill, Manitoba. -20F or there abouts, mild winds. He spent his night (well, the 3-4 hours of sleep he got on the trail) just using his Wiggy's bag, no tent.

    Wiggys sleeping bags

    I love mine. Can't remember the model name for mine, but is rated for -60F. Have used it on the Canadian tundra. Not sure of temperature in the tent, but the water bottles under my cot took 30 minutes plus in hot water before could start pouring a little off to drink, and would get hot at...

    wildlife lense questions- sports as well

    My Wyoming trip this past Saturday was rather disappointing as far as photo quality. Last year a couple of monster bucks posed nicely in good light, so great photos came easily. Unfortunately not the case this time around. Has me thinking it is time to invest in a lense upgrade. I have...

    What'll you buy when you win the $1.5 Billion powerball?

    A couple weeks ago had a discussion with my teen-age kids about wealth (not at all saying it is a bad thing.) I tried to figure out how I would spend a single windfall of $10million. Even taking into account taxes had a hard time spending it all. Guess I don't have expensive enough tastes...
