This is a build thread I don’t really want to do right now, but several have requested it and I’m moving into a slower period of building so I’ll be on the internet more. I can attest that it’s easier to do a build than a build thread.
I’ve been building all Summer. One qualifier and some backstory. The qualifier is I probably won’t respond to many of your responses, though I’ll want too, and if helpful I will do my best. I just don’t have much time or energy. I’m super busy and don’t sleep more than 5 hours/night Actually the build will slow down this week but hopefully important things will happen slowly this Fall. So, I’ll try to be pretty thorough about what’s happened, but like @tworley says, not wordy!
I had been looking for an LJ for six months and thinking about it for two years. I tried to buy one from a forum member but it never precipitated. It was/is really a perfect LJ. Most of you know him as @Irun. Then, a buddy from the west side of WA, who has frequented this forum in the past and occasionally in the present, let it slip to me that he had put his up for sale a few days before. After trying to understand why he would sell, which details will not be shared here, but are a big factor, I told him I’d buy it.
It’s a very nicely outfitted rig that my girls immediately named “The Silver Fox.” Not much comment, but it will have a silver fox with steel blue eyes somewhere on the rig.
If the PO hadn’t followed the same build philosophy as me I never would have bought it, but it was too good a deal to pass up, and the PO needed to get out of it. What are good friends for? He has first buy back rights if I ever decide to sell this unicorn. Really, ‘04-06 LJ. Yes, please!
Home.
I’m excited to see what happens. Of course, I have a plan.
