Attitude Changes.....

[Alpine Spirit]

Well over the years I have noticed some changes in the way Tammy (my wife) looks at wheeling in Moab.

Couple years ago on Fins N Things she looks up and says "OMG... We cant drive up that!" or "NO WAY... Im walking up this one!"

This year... Behind the Rocks "Let me in... You're not gonna roll this truck without me in it!!" :roflmao: :crazy:

Isn't she AWESOME!!! :bannana: :bannana:

Lol, same with my g/f.

A year ago she would say "Don't go 4 wheeling! You'll break something then I have to drive!"

Last week "I don't want you going 4 wheeling without me."

There is a down side to that - now my wife wants to drive on the trail and she takes the X around town when she has a perfectly good Yukon.

Yeah Jordan mellowed a little this year but she still freaks out A LOT just not as bad as last year. She hates tippy so this year I tried to get it tippy as much as I could (especially on the sand roads with the high banks) she got upset a few times. :) Next year she will hopefully nap. :)

I haven't cured Candy of her fear of tippy yet, but a lot of progress was made when she drove Seven Mile Rim last year. She really didn't want to do the tippy thing around the base of Merrimac butte, but once she did it she was all like "That wasn't so bad..." I suspect next time she won't even hesitate.

I have yet to get my girl on the trail.

There are a few factors to that:

She doesn't like to get dirty (she makes me use hand sanitizer after leaving walmart)

She goes to sleep at about 330-700am so she hates waking up early.

and-I just got my rig up and running not too long ago so she only had a couple of opportunities.

I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of, "Honey, not with me in the truck"s coming from her mouth.

[Sully4x4]

Eh, you're getting new seatbelts, right? Use 'em :D

[DamnHippie]

Hand sanitizer? That'd be enough to make me say "So long and have a nice life."

I really don't understand this desire to live in a sterile world, especially considering that we have about 4 million years of evolution as hominids that equip us to fight off casual exposure to the microbes we encounter every day. I think it won't take anything like 4 million years to end up with generations of children too sickly to survive as adults because their immune systems were never challenged enough as children to develop properly.
