You should be fine running a 4 popper at the altitudes most of the Appalachians offer.. as long as you aren't towing anything larger than the boat you talked about last spring.  Did you ever name that thang?  It's bad luck not to name your boat. 

Smell that?  Winter's coming!

Dude's got Bros, a Subbie, an Arcteryx and plans to make a lot of trips to VT.  He must have named it!

Yup.  It's the fastest color too- orange, just like mah bewts!  I love my black Stingray pants so much, I just couldn't pass it up.  Diamonds suck anyways, they don't keep you warm or dry at all.

Right indeed!  I dubbed her "The Dirty Little Oar" 

My fishing buddies (one at a time, of course) will call me up and say "Hey man, let's drag that dirty little oar through the woods and throw 'er in Demmick".  It never gets old.  One friend in particular talks to the boat as if he were the circa 1920's villain in that black & white movie that the kid in "Home Alone" watches... (In his best '20s gangster voice) "You've been smoochin' with everybody- Sal, Moe with the gimpy leg..."  ...  "I forgive you baby...  BUT MY TOMMY GUN DON'T!"  Yeah he really lets her have it, that dirty little oar...  but she loves it.

I might think differently about big honking SUVs if someone driving one would lower his electric window one time and offer me to skitch up a big hill, but that's not going to happen. They only think about themselves and how can I get past this guy without changing lanes or scratching my paint? Yeah, yeah, you have a lot of children, so you're entitled to more of our limited resources. God forbid you leave your filthy polluting boat at a dock somewhere, no gotta drive it home, it's family.

I see by the stickers on your rear window, that you might follow the number 1 rule of Italian driving, so, uh, why do you still have that rear view mirror?

Even an Aston Martin?


If God hadn't meant us to ski, why did He give us mountains, snow and gravity?

That's funny. 
You'd be surprised how little a rear view mirror is necessary when you learn how to use your side mirrors properly.

What would ever give anybody that idea?  My wife would torch the truck if she ever saw a DOOK sticker on it.  There has been a time when there is a Texas sticker and the OU sticker on it.  Many would say that is a bigger sin but I did my grad work in the UT system so I will pull for them as long as they aren't playing OU.  I put a sticker up when the UT football team beat USC in the Rose Bowl a couple year ago.  Even here in NC I got quite a few comments and questions while that Texas National Football Champions sticker was up.  People most often asked if I lost a bet.

Smell that?  Winter's coming!

The blue face in the upper left corner.  Hard to see its details in the picture, but thought it might be a blue devil.

Speaking of Christians

"Throughout scripture are various teachings of restraint-not taking more than you need, loving your neighbor, giving to other people. People often ask me "Was Jesus an environmentalist?" Jesus identified with marginal people. And probably today he would identify with endangered species, coral reefs, and forests, because he identified with pain and suffering, and right now creation is in pain and suffering. I would go so far as to say that if Jesus were here, he would not drive an SUV." - Rev. Sally Bingham, cofounder of the Episcopal Power and Light ministry

Jesus was not a Duke fan either.

I always thought he looked like a hippy. I bet he would tele ski to and make sure everyone knew he tele skied also.

My brother in law had a great quote whiling looking at Jesus on the cross, "My cult will have a way better mascot"

No one cares that you tele.

UP,
Fwiw..if you have dirt roads to travel..and.if its differential/torque can handle slightly bigger tires, 3" body-lift(often requires a little body work around wheels)..find out the correct spacing and get some slightly bigger, firm, aggressive tires on it.  The 3rd party tires will amaze with their glide and float...  3rd party intake/exhaust will give you more kick per spark.
