  1. A quick trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in the Rivian

    Last Saturday was a new moon and I had some new lenses I wanted to test out. So we hopped in the truck and drove up to RMNP for some astro photography. Before heading to the top of Trail Ridge rd, I got some great shots of bull Elk. It’s rutting season so they’re out strutting their stuff...
  2. Quick look review: Rivian Duffel Bag

    Rivian’s new duffel bag arrived a short while ago. I took a few shots of it to give you my thoughts. It’s a pretty good sized duffel with plenty of room for coats, shoes, etc. Besides the main compartment, has two zipped end pockets, two interior mesh pockets, and a interior zipped pocket along...

    I did a search and didn't see anyone posting this. The tailgate pad is getting attention but Rivian also released a new duffel bag and a packing cube set. Both have Rivian branding but the duffel bag is shaped to fit in the gear tunnel. It looks like a quality product as well. I just ordered...

  8. Still dealing with insurance but ordered a new R1T

    Today I got a bit fed up with Nationwide. They’ve been taking way to long to get our claim settled so I can get into a new R1T. They stated it’s taking a long time to get the assessment done so they can determine the final payout. For those that don’t know. Our truck was totaled after an...
  9. Toyota Touts 745-mile range, 10 minute charge for Solid-State battery

    IF Toyota can successfully bring this to market it definitely close the use case gap that justifies ICE based vehicles. IMO, 10 minutes for charging is more important than the range. If we can get 300+ miles of range in 10 minutes or less, it’s game over for ICE. Only diehards and collectors...

    ???? Today I had the most expensive trip to IKEA without buying a damn thing. It was wet and rainy and the guy behind me wasn't quick on the stop. He got a face full of air bag and distroyed his otherwise lovely X-Terra that he said he paid off just a couple of months ago. I was well behind the...
