Dale, I see you up there as well, yes it is... Deb wonders sometimes...

Mike, remind me all you want, I need good reminders as to why I'm out here so long...

ok, enough of the real stuff...

I apologize, but I need to temporarily interrupt the shenanigans to post a bit of that silly car stuff... Forgive me, I know not what I do...

Corey sent me some pics of the completed cage... This is a certifiable ten point cage... There are dual door swing outs, a parachute release I can reach without quick fix extenders... You guys can see the rest better than I can describe it...

I want to thank Brandon for going above and beyond... Attention to detail that's amazing, and he even took it upon himself to paint it... I'll be taking care of him for that...

So...when you "pull" the 'chute, you'll really be pushing the lever forward...

I think I just blew my own mind...

That's no attitude to have! Remember, any zoo is a petting zoo if you're brave enough

I wonder if you could slice the headliner in half, front to back, and slip it in thru the windshield opening. Could clean up the cut with some trim. Just thinking out loud.
