We decided to escape the snow and go visit our friend in Phoenix who was having a party to celebrate the end of his semester at nursing school. Malachi the Wonder Beast got lots of attention and we got to experience the heat that is Phoenix. In short, the party was lovely, but the heat was too much. We did stop on Friday to see an engineer friend of a friend to consult with about the Grolar Bear. The poor Grolar Bear is a bit heavy, even for the bear hybrid that he is. The engineer had built quite a few of his own rigs and gave us some advice which we will followed up on at the Overland Expo at the end of the month (more details later.) Slick Industries was very nice to give us a consult though since he doesn’t build vehicles for other very often at this point.
