    Fun fact Sarah, there’s a great camera tripod company called “3 Legged Thing” and one of their tripods IS called Dave. They name all their products after their employees. Their CEO also runs around in a chicken suit on their ads and videos. Totally your kinda humor. They make amazing tripods.

    Wow Sarah, you're knocking on the door of half a million subs! Well deserved!! Seems like just yesterday your content was all Mr Dos, and you and Sarah (Part Deaux) were headed up to SLC to pick up TaterTot and document your adventurous road trip home. Do you still use that ingenious swamp cooler in your tiny garage at home? Do folks still send you license plates and tools? Do you still head out to the desert to visit your old dilapidated car review site? Still a cat woman?
    Now the TT is being enjoyed by one your lucky subs, and the MR2 is the nicest one you could find in the States. That's a long journey from Air Force aircraft and AGE mechanic, it's been a real joy being privileged to see a sneak peek into that journey - many thanks for that. Your perseverance, enthusiasm, expertise, humor, music preference, and determination are all inspirational, as is your quest to do and be the best version of yourself. If I were in TUS, I'd buy you an adult beverage and raise a glass to your continued success!! 🥂
