(Actually, I pulled the valve cover and snuck a camera down there to inspect everything before we left. All good)

nice! some of my OSV crew made it up there, including last year's Flying Eagle winner... I don't trust my van farther than a couple hours, no way I'd take it across the country

finally bothered to swap out my master window/mirror switches, those little tabs are a PITA

Gave the BlackSwan a hood wash and detailing. Soap cannon, then warm soapy water with microfibre wash mitt, the clear water rinse, then micro fibre towel dry! Cleaned the Weather Tech floor liners and vacuumed out the interior.
Nap time 💤,

Drove to our IT guy's shop to tune up our PC, my ride was sooo clean. And on way home the rains came heavy, lucky to get in the garage before the hail started.

Not really a replacement but last year I got a 2019 Ford Flex Limited. AWD, EcoBoost, twin turbo rated at 365 hp.
Also just got a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe for the wife. It’s going to be her camping car.
