Maiden Voyage Of Newly Christened Moby The Tundra

I should be going to bed right now. That is the case most nights but, I find myself up after all others have gone to bed. I am up obsessing over what to do with the Tundra. I pour over the websites, read the forums, look at the Google images; all in the pursuit of making my Tundra the best expedition Tundra ever! It kind of reminds me of one of my favorite book/movie, "Moby Dick".
I remember watching John Huston's Moby Dick made in 1956. You get to see all the characters pretty quick into the movie, except Captain Ahab. He's too busy in his cabin studying his charts, poring over all the information accumulated from years of research to make sure he does what he can to catch his quarry. The only hint of him was the sound of his peg-legged walk on the deck at night. Reminds me of my footsteps across the tile, as I make my way to the fridge to refill my tea before I go back to the PC and pour over my whaling charts and er, I mean web pages and forums.
If you haven't figured it out by now, I have decided to name the truck "Moby". Partly because a coworker said the the Crewmax Tundras reminded him of a whale (come on, you know he's right!), and partly because my Tundra has a Captain Ahab. And much like Captain Ahab, I am beckoning you, albeit not from a watery grave of entangled harpoon lines strapped to a white whale, but from my desk chair, in front of my pc, to join me,...

AHOY!!! First family trip with Moby has occurred! We packed up the kids and went to Austin, TX from Houston, TX. I know, not much of an expedition but, any time you travel with kids over an hour, it's an adventure. I really appreciate all the room in the back seat of the Crewmax Tundras and thank God for Nintendo DS's!

Cabin-wise for the trip, no complaints from me, not the same sentiments from the wife. Not that she had any issues with Moby himself, but with the laptop desk that attaches to the passenger seat.
I use my truck for work and being an IT guy have added a "Jotto Desk" fixed laptop mount for Moby. If you are in the vehicle, just by yourself it works out great. If you are in the vehicle with a passenger, not so great. The problem is with the design of the screws that allow you to adjust the tension on the various arms. The end of these screws are long handles that stick out at various angles and poke things like; your wife's knees, your wife's legs, your wife's feet when she crosses her legs, your Chik-Fil-A Styrofoam (didn't know Styrofoam had to be capitalized did ya? It's trademarked!) cup full of sugary, sticky sweet tea as the wife madly swings Jotto Desk out of the way.
Yeah if you are looking for a good laptop desk and care nothing of your passenger's comfort the Jotto Desk is great. An alternative, which i may try sooner than later, is the Ram-Mount laptop desk. It has no arms that stick out, just leg, knee, foot and Styrofoam cup friendly rounded knobs.
We'll cover more on the trip and truck later but for now, Ahab needs to hit the rack.
