We now own a Hellayellow, diesel powered, brand new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, with running boards.  Diesel for the economy and torque over the available gas engine.  Reviews indicated highway hills don’t cause it to rev or downshift whereas the gas engine in the same hill will downshift several times, run high rpm and slow down.  Since we will be crossing numerous mountain ranges on our trip, that’s important to me. 

Willow, I'm sure you're aware of the towing power, and steady power that come with Diesel Engines. My diesel is a set it and forget it trailer towing machine. Up hill, down hill the cruse control barely fluctuates. It's also very cool that you made a trans connection with the sales person.

 

Hugs,

Hey @KymmieL, I thought getting a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited kept me on your good side.  Keep this up and I just might not buy you a cuppa in Cheyenne.  It isn’t just yellow, it’s Hellayellow.  Aka hell of a yellow!  lol.  All weather tires, not off road.  
 

it has rained a lot today.  Making up for our drought.  
 

By the way, we accepted a contract on our home today.  We had the offer in 24 hours on the market and signed today, about 36 hours from hitting the MLS.  So just keep it in mind, when I make it to Wyoming, I’ll be the homeless one.

 

current idea, Virginia to our daughters, then Ohio to visit a friend.  I80 west eventually reaching WY, then work our way to Yellowstone.  Next stop will be Portland to see our son and his wife.  When we leave there we will follow the coast south before turning east to Crater Lake, Lake Tahoe, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Maybe Ft Smith before finding a way to New Orleans then Atlanta, back to Charleston and back home.  At that point home means living on our boat.two of us and a 60 lbs dog on a 32 foot sailboat doesn’t leave much space to do anything.  Dining room/livingroom/sleeping for 2, kitchen which is a sink,gas stove and an ice chest.  office which is a desk, head and two state rooms which are less than the size of a double bed each.  At least after a couple months crammed into that our new place will feel huge.

 

time for this girl to get some sleep.

 

Hugs

 

Willow

@MmindyI understand that this will climb most mountains with out downshifting or increasing revs.  When we drove it home, the shift points were under 2000 and it coasted along at speed @1500.  Already showing average fuel mileage at 29mpg. Needless to say I’m happy with it so far.

Willow, I have a few friends with heeps so it is all good. I am just mostly a Ford girl. Well Ford and Buick girl. We have a 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat FX4. We got it simply because it has all the goodies that I wanted to put on our 2000 explorer Limited. Rear locker, trail control,270hp 290tq turbo 2.3l. plus it was new and reliable. 

I had a decal on the window of our first Explorer trail truck, "screw your jeep thing." My friends with Jeeps thought it was great.

 

OK, You get over to Laramie and I'll buy the coffee.

Good Sunday morning y’all 

 

@KymmieL I had a Ranger in the nineties 2x4 long bed stick.  I enjoyed driving that.  But I lived where traffic jams were commonplace.  I also had a bad left knee.  My doc said no more clutch.  It was replaced by a Ford E150 conversion van.  Like driving your living room down the highway. Came in great for going to Florida to get our son in college.  Then came my first Jeep.  It was a Liberty. 
 

we lived on a steep hill at the time.  One winter we had a pretty bad snow.  Now most of my neighbors had a 4x4 something Broncos, Toyota’s didn’t matter everyone  knew if you wanted to get up the hill in the snow you had to have one.  My son called me, he was stuck on the main road and the snow plow was coming. Could I try to pull him out.  I got in my Jeep,backed out on the hill and drove off.  Everyone of my neighbors just stared.  I got to him hooked up and started pulling. After we got home he tells me he forgot to take off his parking brake.  So nothing stopped that Jeep. And this one has the same transfer case and even better anti spin differentials. Not the Dodge setup they use in all the other Jeep badged Rams.  So while I like Fords, (my beater is an Explorer Eddie Bauer)! Nothing beats a Jeep unless it’s highly modified.

 

This one is named Tweetie.  I’m guessing that’s strike three, eh girlfriend? ?

 

hugs

Congrats on the new ride Willow. We need more Jeep girls, there's already a lot of Jeep guys. Someone around here said something about Jeep girls are supposed to wear crop-tops. I'm like 50K sit-ups short of being able to wear one myself but I guess it's a thing.

Oh yeah, I did own a Ford once. My friends were nice enough to push it into a ditch down the street and start it on fire while I was out. In retrospect, they probably did me a favor.

This is a rough day for me. I know that me being trans is killing my wife. I can't stop being trans without killing me. I want to live. I'm excited that I finally figured out who I really am. I'm hoping for a miracle.

Not knocking a Jeep but I drive a 98 Ford Station Wagon.  Not bad for running errands. Not good at going up any sort of hill. I got a gig with the census last year as an enumerator and when eork ran out in Vancouver WA I was sent to Humbolt County, Northern California, mj capital of the US. I drove 600 miles to get there. If you know anything about the region it’s pretty hilly with all sort of dead end dirt roads into the hills. I had to put it into first gear most of the time but we survived. I was so proud of the old girl. All the roads were posted with signs that said 4WD or some such. Pfft! We were the top producers that week and they sent me to Birmingham AL the next week to help clean up that area. The old girl was waiting for me at the airport in Sacramento when I got back for the long drive home. Got it checked out when I returned and all it needed was an oil change. It’s been running great ever since.

 

not to say that I would not have loved to have driven a keep up all those hills though!

I’ve been popping in every now and then to see how things are going. I haven’t said much. Not sure if I’m doing this transition right. I’m not running into any roadblocks. I’m gradually presenting and feeling more and more feminine as the hrt works it’s magic. I think I’ve added an inch to the bust. I guess it’s like metamorphosis. It’s going to take a few years so I’m going to enjoy the trip as much as possible  my insurance didn’t cover estradiol so I have switched to Kaiser. I have had to pay 3 months full fare so far—I guess that might count as a snag? Though having driven all over Mary Jane country for a week in a Ford station wagon it’s just a pebble on the roadside!

Hi Agnes,

   I'm familiar with the Garberville area and lifestyle.  Maybe your car looked old and non-threatening like you belonged there.  Any new bullet holes in the old Ford?  A lot of good people there, but very private.   Big business is messing it up for the small farmer just like everywhere else these days.

Willow....your statement is hilarious.  However, I like my Ford F-150...no, love it!  LOL LOL  However Dodge makes great cars and trucks, as I also have a Challenger, and it has had ZERO issues.

Cyndee, that is a new one.

 

I had thought of a Liberty if I left. It is a chick Jeep. bare with me. look at most of the time you see a woman driving one. But mine would have been built for off roading.

 

Well, starting my run of closing shifts. Disappointed the wife today. Being I don't go in until 2. she wanted to ride over to Cheyenne for breakfast. But we cuddled in bed till 10. She could have gotten me up at anytime. It was nice sleeping in for a change though, and cuddling too.

I just made a custom aluminum cabguard for a customer's 2021 F150.  It has the high output V8.  Fantastic car with a pickup bed.   Very well built and comfortable.    As for Dodges,   Well my friend at Cummins says " the Dodge pickup is just the crate we ship the 5.9 in".   I have taken several out of dead Dodges and put them in other things.

I've heard some of the new Jeeps have all sorts of issues. The current joke is...I tried to get a picture of my Jeep before it had any problems but they wouldn't let me in the factory.

      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

      I used to include going ti worship but no longer    awkward good fir you. enjoy. :)   raine  sorry. my family is pretty lousy at support too. my part time job helps alot. hope it gets better fir you n all
    • Ashley0616
      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though. 
    • missyjo
      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie

      Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength.   I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.
