You should try it with a real shop, try in the neighborhood of 20 tool boxes and another 50 equipment cases...and that is just the little shop
I DON’T want to try to itemize 20 tool boxes. I can’t even get 3 right. What the fuck dude. Don’t fry my brain!!!

Fact of the matter is @Hookturnr, my garage is in no comparison to a shop, large or small. I can do shit but the “shop guys” are capable of much more than I can offer. Some of those dudes are true artists and craftsmen as I’m sure you know.

What's the story on that building, an old fort of some sort?
I would love to visit the US one day and visit the reserves to learn about the native Indian culture, it's something that has always fascinated me more so then other traditional cultures around the world.
Well, definitely go to the West. Don't go near the Smithsonian! Worst Indian Museum and Casino ever.

I'm not kidding.

Triplebull, have you been on the Hopi Mesa's

Yes I have. I have not dug deep into the area though. You?

The Navajo Nations are the shittiest lands in the west, bar none. They've flushed the entire history of the area down the toilet and replaced it with meth , heroin and alcohol. All of my worst memories come from the Nations . Feel free to never post that anti-motvational trash in the future.

I'd rather spend time in Navajo Nation than San Fran or LA, but to each his own. I won't make excuses for the shape of the reservations of the 4 Corners area, but it's not like white man is totally innocent in the big picture.

Worked on shit like that for 13 years. We had fires in the back of truck a few time. Once they put dpf systems on the trucks that was when we lost our first truck to a fire. High psi oil and 1200 degree exhaust is not a good combo ?
SkyDrol fixes all that but God have mercy on your soul if you get that crap on you! It’s like Satan himself pissed on you!
 
The Four Corners area is home to the Navajo Nation. One of the gems of this region in Canyon de Chelly National Monument.

"Chelly" is pronounced "Shay". The canyon has two major arms that drain towards the west. The southern arm has two impressive sub-canyons.

I've spent more time in the southern canyon but while we were on our Social Distancing Tour 2020 last week, we swung by the northern canyon to check out the Mummy Cave area. I was blown away. I've been trying to learn how to take larger and larger multi-row panoramas and the Mummy Cave Overlook was a chance to go ape shit. I took 8 rows of images, each 35 shots wide. The composite image was 55 feet wide by 25 feet tall at 72 dpi. Shrinking it down to page width takes away most of the fun:

But when you zoom in, the fixation of large montages starts to justify itself:

And then, zooming further in:

I'd like to check out the Mummy Cave ruin up close but the Navajo are very private people and they are very protective of their land. You can hire them for jeep tours of the canyon and I'm tempted to check it out.

When in college I worked in the oil and gas fields in the Four Corners Area. The majority of the well sites were on Rez land including Navajo, Southern Utes and Jicarilla Apache. I love the Four Corners area and it is beautiful country but unforgiving. We serviced a Gulf well field in the Bisti Badlands which is a very inhospitable part of the Navajo Rez. Brutally hot in the summer and treacherous in the winter. Never made it to Canyon de Chelly but hope to one of these days. A great read is Blood and Thunder which tells of the exploits of Kit Carson and Canyon de Chelly is mentioned in the book. I went to grad school with several Navajos and they pretty much stayed to themselves with most returning the Rez after graduation.

Oh shit yeah. I was prepping my acft for a mission and hydro troops replaced an accumulator but didn't do the ops check. So I am on the ground and another troop went to the flight station. He turned on the pump and when 3k of pressure hit a cross threaded B nut it exploded and fuckin skydrol soaked my flight suit head to toe and that shit got in my eyes too in spite of ppe. God what a miserable night getting cleaned up. I wanted to strangle the asshole that did that.
