That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

20 years ago my best friend and I did 9,000 miles in three weeks in my ‘96 Mustang GT, and that was my favorite road trip I’ve taken. This is an anniversary tribute but probably with a slightly different itinerary so we can hit Tail of the Dragon and then head west on I-40. We also want to see some of the same parks as last time with some ones I missed in ‘01. Last time we went straight west on I-80 until Colorado and then wandered around. We also went all the way to California and up the west coast, but i think Utah Woll be the limit this time. I requested 16 days off work so hopefully that’s enough.
If you guys have any issues when you're at Tail of the Dragon and around Knoxville let me know. I'd offer to meet you guys at the resort and buy you lunch but covid and my work schedule is a mess right now. If you're heading west on I40 and heading anywhere even remotely near Birmingham it is very worth going out of your way to stop at the Barber Motorsport Museum. https://www.barbermuseum.org/

Driving down to Austin in a few months should be a good time though. Pretty crazy that the cruise control pretty much does everything for you.
Same to you, stopping by Barber adds ~5 miles to your trip. Maybe hit it on the way back, only two hours from Atlanta, and set aside a lot of time.

Yeah, they talked about it just after I posted. And also, yeah - dirt tracks are a thing. Guess they had to try *something* to make NASCAR actually interesting.

You gonna drive straight through, or do it over a couple of days?

That's a pretty decent drive (~950 miles from ATL to AUS), though you can shave about 30 miles off by going through DFW (doesn't save any time tho.. I-30 can eat a bag of dicks).

I-30 *is* a bag of dicks.

It's a lot better between Dallas and Arlington, now, though, with the added lanes.

So we both went down there and I called my brother in law who just became eligible, and he got his first shot while dad and I got our second. They were ramming people through, they had called a bunch of 2nd dosers in.

And even after all that, some guy wandered up and was all "I hear you sometimes have extra shots" and they did another count, and found one last shot for him.

Good times.

Reposting but seems ot go here now too -


It's not even that - it's the fact the federal govt are yet again being fuckups and leaving the heavy lifting to the states while trying to blame anyone else, its the distruption to lives over and over again when covid escapes and there are rolling lockdowns, job losses and events cancelled without notice, it's especially family who cant see each other even IN the country because borders slam shut... let alone there's tens or hundreds of thousands of residents who have been cut off for partners, family, children etc and still face extreme uncertainty about just "When the gently caress will I see my wife / husband / parents??????" - there's a lot of people cut off and a zoom call don't cut it. Also there's still tens of thousands of Aussies who still cant get back home and it's costing them big time.

Oh yes sure we're being doing good about actually dealing with the disease but there's a hell of a price that's being paid all the same by a lot of people and frankly just loving gimme the vaccine already so this can be over

Just got a root canal. After the freezing, didn't feel a thing.. and even the freezing process was fine.

Dr said that the root was largely necrotic and had an infection, so it was a good thing we got it done. I'm hoping that's why I've just felt kinda "blah" for a while now and almost certainly made me feel like poo poo a couple weeks ago.

I could smell the dead root and the infection as the Dr was cleaning out the canals. He said it wasn't terrible but a good thing I got it done. We were talking afterwards he said that he's actually had a couple patients ask to have it with no freezing. At all. I can't loving imagine :psyduck:

You probably need to find out what the server IP is or the domain name for the host server. From there depending on how it's set up, the file is at http://ip/~username/path/to/file.name or http://ip/path/to/file.name depending on whether the file is in your own ~/public_html or the main one, ie whether it's shared or private/virtual private server.

You'd have to set them up an FTP account to make that downloadable.

Simplest answer will be to put it in www_root or public_www (something like that). The link would then be http://www.yoursite.com/file.ext. Edit: This really does differ by host, my current one has it as '/all_domains/sitename.com/'

That may not be the right answer, but it would work and if you aren't trying to protect the file or anything, it's fine.

Yeah, pretty much that. You can link directly to the file space in your WWW folder (mine happens to be "public_html" on the server side), usually.

For example: http://wright-here.net/files/SE_FCvacports.pdf

On my site just looking at the folder is forbidden ("http://wright-here.net/files/"), and I haven't bothered to figure out how to change that, but is should just be a directory read permission.

edit: both of those are working links, BTW, so you can see what they do.
