    The fucking desert. I hate the fucking desert.
    500 miles in just over 7 hours. With all the construction and the fact that it rained the whole way, I'll take that as a win. Also, all the rain meant my windshield is basically bug free.

    This hotel room...ugh. I guess it seems like a nice place to have your kidney stolen.

    Feeding the deer. Right before you plant your gardens.

    Gee. What could possibly go wrong there?

    Garden is in the fenced in back yard with the dogs. Deer don't get within 100 yards of it, ever. Those dogs are absolutely horrible guard dogs -- they love every person who comes to the door -- but if there is so much as an armadillo in the yard, they'll wake up from a dead sleep and go ape shit at the window until I kill it.

    Got back to Vegas about 3 this afternoon. This trip justifies every cent I've spent on my car....she ran flawlessly. She had a bit of a rough idle when I got to town, but I'd just run her at 95 for 7 hours across the desert with the A/C blowing, my idle is a bit ragged too.

    I'm sure we'll both be fine after a good night's rest.

    Congrats to @bewildered for having a kid!

    Went to Tractor Supply yetserday for some welding gas. I had a small tank of c-25 that I used for some simple MIG stuff, but I've since bought a new, fancier welder, and it does TIG and other things that meant I needed to expand my available gases.

    Went to the TSC, waited in line outside for about 45 mins until someone clued in that I didn't need to go inside to get welding gas, so they sent out some old dude named Chuck.

    Chuck was the shit.

    I wanted to exchange my small tank of C-25 and buy a new, small tank of Argon.

    No such luck... no small tanks of anything... but he did have a large tank of both C-25 and Argon.

    "Let me hook you up."

    Did he ever.

    Ended up returning my empty small tank at full price ($350), and then sold me 2 new big tanks at a discount so they were each $175. Then he charged me for the new gas in each.

    In the end, I was expecting to drop $500+ on a new tank and gas, and instead I got out of there with 2 new large tanks and gas for each for under $150.

    Go Chuck!

    Tractor Supply is awesome. They’re a little more expensive, but I always go there because people know their shit and they’re friendly. Also those Coleman pit bikes they have are awesome. I got one, put a new exhaust, air intake and fuel injector in it and it fucking flies!!!

    congrats @bewildered!!! Being a parent is both the most stressful and most rewarding thing you’ll ever do. My boys decided to make a swimming pool in my garden cart today, because country that’s why. Kids are awesome, welcome to the best club on earth.

    So MMA fights are taking place with no fans in attendance. Yet the fighters still have walkout music. Like can't they just do that with ear pods or something? Bluetooth that shit. We don't need to hear your crappy taste in rap music.

    Some road trips are better then others.

    I've driven across country more times then I can count. There is a huge difference between driving a late model vehicle and driving a 25 year old car that looks good and is just stretching it's legs passing everyone in sight.

    I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to do any of the wrenching on my car, but I did direct what was done and threw lots of money at it to make sure it was done correctly. It is somewhat my creation.

    If I'm looking for an adventure, I'll take a road trip in an old car any day over something new. No one walks up to you at a fuel stop to compliment you on your Altima that went by them 25 miles back down the road.

    I was laughing about that too, it seemed hollow. I actually like no crowds because I like hearing the impact of every strike, that intake of air when when received. These last two events seem to have held my attention better than previous events.

    I wish ours was like yours. Here the employees are almost clueless and the store is very poorly stocked. There’s one just over the border in PA and I may try that one sometime. Down there it’s more rural, maybe someone takes their job and ag more seriously.

    I greatly prefer them for the exact reason you mention. I'm sure the fans who would otherwise be in attendance disagree, but that's not my problem. Some of those leg kicks sound like gunshots going off. There was one last night, I won't spoil it for anyone, but I looked up "what the FUCK was that??" and realized it was the tv.

    Thought it was funny how everyone was giving Dana props last night. I think we all were. Of course, they are the ones getting paid. The only athletes getting paid right now.

    Did you not hear? Pro wrestling has been deemed essential and performing scripted matches to empty arenas. I guess they did Wrestlemania in a training gym this year, that is hilarious.

    Athletes? Yes. Sport? No.

    I can’t grasp how fucking mentally retarded that is. It isn’t quality enough to be a studio dhow, it’s a bunch of oiled-up gaytards screaming into a microphone with no crowd reactions. I stopped watching this nearly two decades ago. It hasn’t even tried to improve its product once yet it sells out stadiums. When people still went to it.

    One thing is for sure, our air will be a little less poisonous once Vince McMahon is finally in the ground. Die slow, sociopath.

    I’ve been to several live UFC paperview events. Its a much better product on TV than if it in person. The cage gets in your field of view. Their are camera people in your way. You end up watching on the various big screens throughout the arena.

    There are a few UFC events that I would have loved to be in the stands for... top of that list is GSP winning the title in Montreal.

    Seeing fights in person is never that great unless you’re right up close. And MMA attracts a very large douche audience to help you stay away.

    Team sports live.... night and day.
