I don’t know the official numbers, and we’ re nowhere near Houston-level flooding, but it’s ugly.

Tornado passed a few miles from me as !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on my way back from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Been an Oppo kinda day.

The arrow below? Points to the roof of a car. There’s also an SUV flooded out, hidden from view .

After detouring a couple of times I found a way home, although several other cars turned away from this route too. Sometimes (well, nearly all the time) I really, really like having my Jeep.

And the 4Runner? The frame is in great shape, considering the age and mileage. Not so sure about the rest of it, though. Shocks are shot, the engine has no power getting started from a stop (I suspect fuel injection problems but definitely not my area of expertise). I might have my mechanic check it out next week but I’m thinking I’ll go see about !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! instead.

Stay dry, as much as you can!

Going to be a long wet week if the forecast is accurate. Don’t think staying dry is an option.

A Liberty? Really? REALLY?

Glad you’re okay, stay safe. Stay away from FC A mistakes.

Ugh. Not great weather for Fathers Day. My dad gets antsy when he can’t work outside.

I’m no particular fan of them, but finding manual Cherokees is proving quite challenging.

I spend 9 months waiting for summer and this is what I get?

I did rather wish I had a snorkel today. With the wheels so far forward it’s very easy to send an uncomfortable amount of water up towards the air intake.

Its crazy how wet this spring has been, and summer is shaping up to be the same.

As best as I can tell, we nearly reached our average June rainfall for the last 40 years in one day, and there’s high c hance of rain each day all week long.

You’re better off with the 4Runner.

I’ve had my share of mechanical challenges with my Jeep, but that 200k mile difference between the 4Runner and the Liberty is hard to ignore.

I take it this Cherokee and the other that you just responded to are sold?

That’s the same one I’ve been trying to see for weeks. For a while the owner would respond to my inquiries to let me know someone else was coming to see it, but he’d never give me a heads up when it didn’t sell, and now he’s not replying at all.

I’m assuming it’s sold, or a lemon, or he’s just too hard to deal with.

Noooooooooo. I have a finite and shrinking number of summers remaining to me. DON’T DENY ME MY SUMMER.

Relax, you’ll be hot and sticky like usual in no time. Just be sure you have everything cleaned up before I arrive. Y ou have a month.

I certainly never thought I’d be shopping for one. If only the Commander had come with a manual.

Price is right. Too far away for me to want to go see something that doesn’t run.

I met a Comanche owner recently who found his by posting in Wanted on Craigslist. Thinking I’ll give that a try.

Every now and again I think about decorating my Jeep with tasteful decals, but I don’t think the hammer and sickle would go over well.
