Hmmm, it's been a while since I posted anything here. I haven't been doing much with the truck recently, just too much yard and garden stuff going on this time of the year, and it is just a tad hot in there these days.
The pups are kinda growing up the above is Blue.
And Jasper in the front with Blue behind the chair.
And mom in the background and her daughter Jasmine in the foreground. A little bit of a family resemblance I'd say. ....... seems we might be stuck with a couple more than we planned, but they usually put a smile on my face, so I guess we'll keep feeding them. We still have the dad as well, he was just being smart and snoozing in front of the a/c in the house, so no pics of him.

Don't tell my wife. She'd take one in a heartbeat.

Well at least it’s not one of those high energy dogs.
Hey tell your wife "have I got a deal for her".
Sounds like a perfect negotiating tool. Say, for some new shop stuff...
I'm biased.
I'll take the sighthound over a dog like a shepherd, about any day of any year! Full admission of bias!
I like that video with the Whippet above, but I gotta say from experience, the Whippet stopped because he wanted to, not 'cause he was made to! LOL!
Have owned Scottish Deerhounds (two of which rather beat up a Shepherd that was supposedly a bad-ass, via sighthound teamwork), Italian Greyhounds (ten feet tall and bulletproof, as they speak their opinions out through the front window, though barely ankle biter high in real life!), and am on my second Whippet, and regretting not figuring out what wonderful dogs Whippets are, earlier!
My whippets have both been able to outsleep my cats, outrun my ATV, and both have been able to eat and sleep away their lives, when it came down to not having much opportunity to exercise, without gaining any weight. (of which I am PARTICULARLY jealous! ) They LIKE a good run every day, but don't NEED it.
The downside of Italian Greyhounds, and to a lesser extent, the Whippets, is that you seldom get to sit anywhere alone. The Iggys were outright blanket thieves, who could not imagine a world where they were not in some form of charge, of where the blankets were, whether on the bed, or when sitting on the couch. The Deerhounds...it gets crowded... fast...Whippets, in my experience, are just appreciative, that you are willing to share...

Wow! Mine is still in the box. Going to have to keep this photo as an idea of what to do to mine. Keep us informed.

That looks awesome. Looking forward to see what you come up with for the PWM controller for the (winch motor?)
I've always wanted to build one, but never had the pressing need for one.

This is what I hope will make things happen..... Yes, it's an ATV winch that a buddy gave to me several years ago.
None of the modifications I made were original to me ideas, I actually fairly closely followed a build by Jere Kirkpatrick on YouTube, with the exception of the winch motor. I stole that idea from someone else.
