❤️ I picture him looking at you with pride, just like he always did. He thought you were amazing. This is the best.

Terrific tribute to your grandfather. And, I too, have stopped at random gas stations to take pictures of old trucks (much to the chagrin of my wife).

A few more things to add to your list: the wild turkey (again), coffee grounds and egg shells (for compost), bacon fat, and a screenshot on your phone of anything that catches your eye.

Thank you. Saving bacon fat makes me feel like I’m a pioneer. I listened to the Bear Grease podcast and now I think of that every time I cook bacon.

Troops is the coolest vehicle on earth. I dream about it. But Tundra will have to do for now.

TBH I never expected to love the Tundra as much as I do. Before having one I always thought it was too big. Then we got one because... it's big. And it has turned out I love nearly as much as I've loved a few of my cruisers. 2011 and drives like it's new.

That’s awesome. I’ve been grateful to drive a big vehicle (bigger than needed on occasion) more times than I’ve wished I had a small car. That’s enough justification for me.

Crying over here on this end 🥹 this was so beautiful !! He’d be so happy to know your studio apartment is doubling as a garage. That is determination. ♥️

I heard Nonna made a short rib ragu this Sunday, changed it up.
