Upgrades

Lately, I have been holding up at home, playing video games, watching TV, and shunning the outside world. I have mixed feeling about this. Part of me wants solitude, and parts of me want to get out. I have been trying to play Borderlands with Twin A, but he doesn't last very long. Yesterday he dropped off without warning. For a person who says he plays a lot. He seems not to stick with it.

In a bid to cheer myself up, I have decided to invest in some upgrades for the Jeep Gladiator. I have ordered front and rear steel bumpers, a winch, and some extra lights. I have scheduled to have a local place to install the new parts on my birthday, September 18th.

I have been second-guessing my winch purchase. I bought a Zsuper from Amazon. It is a cheap Chinese winch. It has some mixed reviews on the site, but I figure that as many times as I will use the winch, it will be fine. Besides, it is orange and goes well with the rest of the color scheme.

  1. It sounds like you're in a resting period. So am I. You'll want to do more eventually. Enjoy the down time right now. It'll pass.

  2. I did have to laugh at your wench purchase. While I stay at home pretty much, I do go out to movies, and have lunches with friends.

    1. Yeah, I am having better luck finding a winch than a wench.

  3. I think shunning the outside world and insulating ourselves is tempting these days, plus, climate change locally is making being out and about miserable this Summer. Our mighty Saguaro Cacti are literally exploding and falling over from the intense prolonged heat!!!
