81 here Tacanta, and still purchasing vehicles! Don't throw in the towel...
Thanks for the reply, and as a retired personal trainer, Spinning and Body Sculpt instructor, I'm in perfect health and pretty fit, but I would expect the LC to STILL outlast me! Time will tell, Nuke, and keep on truckin'!
Howdy El Chorizo, and thanks for the welcome! I'm in Pie Town and love it here; the solitude was exactly what I was looking for!
Howdy Dragoon, and I appreciate the welcome! Haven't been east of 25 yet, but one of my brothers, a retired cop from Norfolk, VA, visits twice a year and then heads to Roswell (he's a UFO/UAP nut) and he loves the New Mexican omelette at Cafe Chubascos in Quemado, 25 miles west of me, and as a former OTR driver, I've had omelettes from NY to Miami, San Diego to Anchorage, and it is the best omelette EVER! Where you located now, and if not NM, do you miss it? And yes, the Hulk has done me well, so no complaints, but if I can swing it, the '24 LC is next!
Definitely agree on the fun factor of the Bronco, and also on the wind noise, even though I have the MIC. Gonna miss the MT if I go LC, but yes, the extra room will be nice, especially when I don't take my tear drop and sleep in the back of the Hulk; with a 100 lb Pittie/Mastiff, it gets a little crowded! I was only getting about 22 mpg, checked the tire pressure, which the knuckleheads at my dealer had set at 50, reduced it to 39, and I'm averaging 25 mpg now! And yes, the Airsteams are beautiful, but WAY out of my price range, and the NuCamp Tag XL Boondock has worked out great for me. Glad that your Bronco has run well for you, and have fun shopping for a trailer for your LC when you get it!
I haven't heard of Cafe Chubascos, but I'm adding it to my places to visit next time in NM! I live in Fredericksburg, TX now, but all my family is in NM so I go back often to visit them.
Well, not often do I hear a name for a town in New Mexico that I didn't know... but that's a new one on me!
Only about 100 folks live here, and I'm 6.5 miles down a dirt road from PT! I love PIE, so it's nice to know that we still have 2 restaurants that have pie, but unfortunatel the BBQ place, which also had pie, recently closed but has a couple of food trucks for events, like the annual Pie Festival on Saturday, 9/9/23, so come on down!
There have been 2 BBQ places I've loved that have gone out of business. Sad days
