  1. It was originally from Canada. Something I found out not to long ago when I found a registration hidden in the sun visor. It was painted not too long before I got it. Big chunks of paint/rust are falling off the frame and other parts. There's a guy in the fj forums that has one in a similar condition. He's sandblasting and painting and it seems like it's working for him. There's also a oil based under spray that's supposed to be good but the closest place that does it is in Arkansas. That closed a year or so ago and was tacomas, tundras and sequoias
  2. The only place I've heard about is http://www.wiseguyschicago.com/index.html in Round Rock. I'll go tomorrow and file a report. I spent the first 6 years of my life in Chicago and Texzilla is 100% on point when he says they have the correct Chicago vibe. So many details they get right about the town and the people. Absolutely loved the show, first show I can remember that nails the frantic pace of being in a kitchen. Brought back memories of my teenage years working at various restaurants.
  3. I had just totaled my 4runner and messed up my back when I started looking for FJ's. Because of my back didn't really look too hard under it. I noticed a little rust but it didn't seem too bad. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I went under it to install a plug for the trailer. It was way worse than I remember it being when I got it. A few trips to the beach probably didn't help. So I took it over to the body shop around the corner. His advice: paint it and sell it. Being that I'm not completely unethical I'm not planning on doing that, what would you do? Kinda leaning towards just driving it till the wheels literally fall off and replacing parts as they go. Looks like anywhere from 20-35k for a nice one, and I'm guessing I'll get 10-15 for this one, so it seems it would be cheaper to just sandblast/paint the bottom and replace the suspension parts as needed than spring for a newer/less rusty one.
  4. Up and down week for the 4+ card tourney circuit Sun - Plo Shuffle. Thought for sure I was finally going to bink one. Got heads up with big chip lead, 800k-200k against an old regular who may as well play his cards face up. Plays strait ABC poker. Lose 5 strait hands including strait-bigger strait, K high flush to A high flush, two pair T6 to two pair T7. Boop second place. Won $450, put in $150, $300 profit. Mon Lodge BigO - can't get cards, get AKQJT, flop QTx, bet, call , K turn, get it all in, call. Other guy has AJ too, looks like a chop, river club and he has two clubs and two already on board and I'm out around 20th, top 12 paid. Tue Plo Bomb pot 52 social - Second time I felt good about winning. Around 500k in chips, no one else above 100k with 6 to play with antes at 15k. Can't win a hand for a couple of orbits, one dude keeps winning all the pots, we get to 3 and chip leader does not want to ICM, so me and other short stack agree to chop 2/3 and give him first place money. Win $500, put in $250, $250 profit. Thu BigO at 52 social. Finish 5th, top 4 chopped evenly. Didn't win an hand the last hour or so. $-230 Sat - Quarterly Big Big O at shuffle. $215 buy in. Fire two bullets, get no where. $-460 Sun - PLO shuffle 512. Every tournament should be like this. Play tight aggressive. Lose first buy in when with AA95 get it all in on J55 flop vs JJ. After buy in slowly build up stack. Super aggressive dude keeps raising and raising, showing bluffs and getting lucky and amasses a 300k+ stack with no one else very far over 100k. I wait patiently and get AcAd3c2d limp preflop, he pots, one other caller, I repot all in for $62k, call, call. Flop 9c5c4d. I can't ask for a better flop. They get all in and it's QsQcJsTc for aggro and KdKsJT for old ABC guy from last week. Turn 6 giving me a strait, river 9. Now I'm chip leader with $200k. Aggro guy boots his stack and we're down to 3 with one guy at 2 big blinds, ABC old guy and me at around 300k each. Two big blind guy wins 3 pots in a row, and now we're all about even. Old guy limps to me in the big blind. I have KcTc8x2x, flop is Ks8c2c. I start thinking about how I'm going to trap him, he pots, I repot, we get it all in and he shows Ac9cxx. I'm ahead! yea. Turn Jc, I start trying to figure out what I need for a strait flush, completely forget about the two pair I got, K on the river gives me the boat, bye bye old man. Mr two blinds and I end up at 300k chips each after that hand, we agree to chop so I get $600 for a $420 profit. Up $100 for the week, now up $779 for the month, played 68 hours, averaging $11 an hour. Played 15 tournaments, cashed in 9.
  5. US played England in soccer a few years ago. England talked all kinds of shit before the game. The picture is of the own goal they had. Defender passed back to goalie and he missed it.
  6. I was drinking way before I got to the navy. I didn't think I had a drinking problem but boy they sure thought I did.
  7. enough with the racist talk, start a thread in CR if you want to discuss.

    not mom and pop but I love Gus's downtown
  9. I played a lot of golf at the Air Force base down the road from us. I typically shot mid to high 70’s. In navy tournaments/scrambles I was always the A player. At the Tuesday afternoon scramble at the AF base I was always the D player. If your team didn’t shoot 11 under on 9 holes you weren’t winning. Those Air Force fuckers played a lot of golf.
  10. Ha, didn't even notice the neg, I had already given him a timeout for being a jackass.
  11. 125 was the limit for 6'3 so I made it by 5 pounds. Didn't matter how much I ate, I could not gain weight. Averaged around 5000 calories a day in high school.
  12. I also gained 30 pounds in boot camp going from 6’3 130 to 160. Gained another 20 in A school.
  13. 2/4 cashing this week. Lost $87 Monday big o at lodge, finished 17, top 12 paid, ran A94 into AA on a A94 flop. One buy in and one add on, $-140 Tuesday PLO bomb pot at 52 social, ICM chop with 4 to go, $120 to the good Wednesday PLO at lodge, finished 5th, +$223. Friday shuffle PLO bomb pot, finish 5th, they ICM chopped after I got knocked out. -$290 Total for the month, cashed in 7 of 11, up $679
  14. I like that the first pic in the jeep thread is an LJ.
  15. Wrong neighborhood motherfucker
  16. I ran it up to 250k and was chip leader for a few hands. Then lost every hand I played for about an hour. ICM chopped with 4 left, I got $255 for a $95 profit. At the break I had 50k in chips and counted around 800k chips in play. With $1500 guaranteed $1500/800k = .001875. $100 gets you 50k in chips = .002 so it was a good deal. Did the ICM with me with 50k less in chips and I would have made $116 less, so the $100 got me $116 and it also allowed me to play a few hands that I probably wouldn't have if I had less chips so it was probably a good add on. Now cashed 5 of 7 tournaments, up $766 and averaging $30 an hour.
  17. Ended up with 14 runners, $300 overlay down to 7 old dude 200k, me 160k, 3 at 100k and 2 around 50k
  18. Bad news everybody. karen from last week was banned from shuffle 512. old man from last week is here, only 9 runners so far
  19. oh, he knows he's 2+ years away from getting a mortgage and needs to get his shit strait now to make it happen then.
  20. Now know why McLaren is so slow this year. Just saw a commercial showing them/bragging about using webex. Huge disadvantage for the team being stuck with that shit-ass software.
  21. You have to play 2 hours till the rebuy period is up or we would have chopped. I told everyone at the start lets be nice and chop in two hours. Everyone nodded their heads and then 3 of the first 4 hands had an all in and call leading to 2 rebuys. And yeah, the ad-on period at the end of the two hours becomes a prisoners' dilemma. If no one buys in great, and if everyone buys then you probably should too.
  22. Got a buddy that's been a professional gambler for a few years and needs to straiten up a few things with the IRS and get his bank accounts in order so he can buy a house. Anyone here want some work or know someone who does?
