Sitting at the bar at Maudie's in Bee Cave next to two old ladies. I ordered the grandpa special, two tortillas filled with beans and taco meat, covered in gravy and cheese. One of the ladies asks me if it's ok to take a picture of it, and I tell her to go ahead. She explains the other lady is from out of town and doesn't know what Mexican food looks like so she's taking a picture. I tell them what it is and then she says her husband always gets that and adds a fried egg on top, and a couple of weeks ago when he got his colonoscopy they came here at 9am and that's what he got. I tell them that I had a colonoscopy last Thursday and came here and ate chips and queso, 2 pete's, and migas. The lady from out of town exclaims "Is this what you do in Austin? Sit around and discuss your colonoscopies with total strangers at a bar?" Me: "Yep, that's Austin"

Not having to talk to family is a feature not a bug of overlanding.

After wasting several hours doing research I decided to buy this: https://www.deadmanoffroad.com/collections/the-deadman/products/the-deadman-v2 I needed to get something to go around a rock or tree anyway, so may as well get one that can work by burying in the sand as well

Worst part of the whole thing for me was drinking that nasty drink at 5pm and 2am. Second worst was spending the next hour or so on the shitter after drinking said drink. This morning was easy. put on gown, get an IV, rolled into other room, turn on my side, shot into IV drip, weird taste in mouth from shot, wake up in original room stoned as hell. Completely clean, no polyps of any kind, come back in 10 years. Went to maudie's and ate chips and queso, two pete's tacos and sausage migas with a mexican coke. May have been the most enjoyable meal of my life. If you're over 45 and haven't had it done you need to go do it. It's really not that bad of a procedure.

It’s handled blowing up all 4 tires from 10 psi to 35 psi after a day of off-roading. I have considered getting a small hand held that uses the same battery as my impact wrench as a back up. Yes, pretty desolate out there without many trees. I can’t imagine how much dirt/rocks you’d need to pile up to use for a winch. I have seen matt’s off road recovery us big rocks to tie off with various levels of success. They have moved around some big rocks they were using for anchors. Maybe some spikes you can hammer into the ground? Huh, Learned something new today. searched on google and sure enough “land anchors” are a thing

That’s probably my biggest worry. Bought two 2.5 gallon rotopax gas cans. I thought I’d try to figure out the half way point of the trip and if I hit half a tank before I get there I’d turn around.

Yep

TCH typically has a plo double board bomb pot only game going. When I want to gamble it up I go play it. At most there will be one other white boy at the table, with Asians being the biggest group represented followed by Indians and African Americans. I know the most money I've lost is when I hit a boat and someone gets a bigger one. I had 8432 on time, flop was 882 and I remember distinctly that I should fold when someone potted after the flop. I stupidly stuck around and a T and J came out and I lost to 8T. The only way I might call with your hand is if I had at least 2 pair on the other board so it would be an emergency hand in case someone had a bigger boat.

Anyone else into overlanding? I know there's a few sprinter folks here. Going to take the FJ to someplace in June. Built a bed last weekend, ordered a mattress, spare gas cans, some locks to lock the various stuff that will be on the roof rack down. Found this site: https://www.overlandtrailguides.com/ that has a bunch of routes to try along with downloadable maps that you can put in an app. Planning on joining so I can download all the maps. Deciding between the area around Guadalupe Peak/Southern NM https://www.overlandtrailguides.com/post/guadalupe-mountains-adventure-trail or this one, taking dirt roads from just outside Santa Fe to the Colorado border: https://www.overlandtrailguides.com/post/carson-santafe-backcountry-discovery-trail Have downloaded two different apps for mapping, Gaia GPS and onX offroad. I think I like Gaia better. Anyone else do this? What am I forgetting? I have full size spare, shovel, pick axe, traction boards, big jack, winch, spare gas cans, tire patch kit, 12v air compressor, first aid kit, tow rope, emergency jump starter, crow bar, tools,

Trying out different apps for upcoming overland trip. Tracking works on the boat too

Yeah, it's not very accurate. Going in tomorrow morning. Only had some sprite today, trying to finish phase one of this nasty drink right now.

I fold. Someone’s got a bigger boat.

My experience was very similar. My house was $5–$10 more a square foot than the 20 houses closest to mine, some of which were brand new while mine was 65 years old. Had a realtor buddy pull 10 houses that were sold within a mile that were in similar age and condition, all of which sold $2-$10 less a square foot. They said they could only compare to houses that were a couple of miles from mine, in a nicer neighborhood, 40 years newer and around 1.5x the size of mine.

Great. We got a Dick and a Wang on the board. Expect to get fucked on your appraisals.

for fucks sake start a frats are racist thread in the CR if you want to discuss this more there's a conference realignment thread if you want to discuss that. going to start handing out vacations for off topic shit

I think it's a joke, unlike Taco who was for the destruction of Israel (but wasn't anti-semite)

he's gone

I’m with Mikey on this one. Sure we could argue semantics on whether or not wanting the destruction of Israel is anti semetic or not, but it certainly implies you want to kill every resident of the country. I’m sure you’ll argue you don’t but it sure sounds like it to me.

So which is it? Is it ok to yell at jews or not.

obviously my moderation is worse crime against humanity than the holocaust. Do you have any idea how annoying it is to get off a plane and have a dozen reported posts from both sides complaining about the other putting CR in DT?

It is newsworthy, it just doesn't belong in this thread
