How I used to sleep in crowded hotel rooms at conventions. "You want the bed?" "Nope, gimme a blanket, just gonna crawl under this side table because it means nobody will step on me in the night."

Did you wake up to find 3 tcc goons and a furry having a gay foursome?

I don't go to conventions anymore for a reason.

Also Dave now knows about tijuana flats. He mentioned a burrito livestream, so keep your emergency radios charged up.

Tell him that real men drink Endorphin Rush to wash down their burritos. Also, I know Orlando is kinda big and all, but my favourite Tijuana Flats will forever remain the one across from the library downtown. Pretty neat place just for the atomosphere, but then again that was 13 years ago.

Yanno, seeing it parked there like that, I have to change my thoughts about the bed wood.

Tighten down the hardware, make minimal repairs, leave it like that, don't replace the wood, it looks goddamn beautiful.

What? Psh. Used to hold burritos under the tap and give it at least three pumps. Endorphin Rush and Don't Be A Chicken Sh*t.

Admittedly, my brother could out-do me and drink the stuff straight. I couldn't.

Right on the fuckin' knee too.

Honestly, the leadup was making me think there was an unfortunate driveshaft + balls related accident.

Dick used to be a flatrate mechanic, then he took a corner of quarter inch plate to the knee.

So Sims, I got a favour to ask you. When the truck's ready to move itself around the city, can you go park it in front of 7893 Canyon Lake Circle and take a picture? It's in Metro West just off Edgewood Ranch road which is near Old Winter Garden.

It's the closest I'll probably ever get to to this legendary vehicle since I lived there over a decade ago. If the pineapple-shaped fountain is still around, try to get it in the shot please. Bonus points if the HOA descends upon you in a heartbeat, they put my dad through hell while my grandma was dying.

So I'm curious what the state of the wiring is in. I remember the first time Dave had to leave the truck he was scrambling just to get it started and he posted a pretty disturbing photo of the wiring job. Questionable automotive wiring terrifies me more than death.

My buddy rewired his boat a couple years ago. With speaker wire.

When I discovered this I cursed him out for about 15 minutes because I know I'm gonna have to rewire his loving boat for my peace of mind.

If you're doing an entire boat, it may be cheaper to import it.

I have to convince him to let me do it first. He believes it's totally okay because there haven't been any problems so far. I may have to mechanically stress a few splices until something starts smoking to make him realize that he should let me fix his boat.

My wife (who is a stylist) tried to do everything to save my hair when it started rapidly thinning.

She left for a week and I shaved it off. That was almost 2 years ago, and I regret nothing. Now I'm lazier with it, and usually just do it every Sunday vs every day, but still. And having a job where I don't have to shave now means I finally have a beard.

If your beard is itchy, and you really want to keep it, use beard oil and a good moisturizing shampoo. It relaxes the hair and keeps your skin moist, which takes away all the itch.

I find anti-dandruff shampoo helps a lot with beard itch.
