it really says a lot about how much our society has evolved that even when i'm trying to insult stymie by calling them an incorporeal mass of foul vapors, i stop myself from using "it" out of respect to their gender identity (of which i have no knowledge)

Jonny 290 posted:730 miles, average 18.something MPG, and total trip cost including gas food lodging was about $210 for 3 days 2 nights drat dude, that's p. dece mileage on the expedition my folks have a big expedition, think it's a few years newer than yours? anyway any time i borrow it for a day or two, the avg fuel consumption starts off sitting somewhere around 10mpg and by the time i'm done it's already up around 13. i'm curious about your rig's radios. my only adult experience with CB is messing around with a little old unit from the 70s connected to a rooftop magnet antenna. do you have separate antennae for each radio, do they all use the same antenna? also i dig the pics, especially the mountains. i love a good road trip.

Nah i have dedicated antennas for all the radios, makes it a lot easier. the CB antenna on mine is that black whip on the driver's fender, just a lil 4 footer but it's well mounted and i'm smart enough to know how to tune these things so they work well and don't blow your radio up. i just have a $30 or so uniden pro 510 XL radio, it's basic but does the job just fine.

I guess big sur residents had a little protest about tourists wrecking the place and Joshua Tree has started closing campgrounds during the shutdown because of the huge mess

SInce I have always been an indoor cat and have no direct experience in the woods, let me share my favourite and highly aspirational moment from The Soul Of A New Machine He went away from the basement of Building 14 that day, and left this note in his cubicle, on top of his computer terminal: "I'm sick of nanoseconds, I'm going off to a commune in Vermont where I'll deal with no period of time shorter than a season".

Notorious b.s.d. posted:i have never "got" big sur on a fundamental level big sur is pretty overrated but I think people mostly love it because of proximity to the bay and counterculture history (Henry Miller, Kerouac, hst, etc). in reality it's too crowded most of the year and there's poison oak fuckin everywhere. but most people are disrespectful shitheads who ruin everything and leave trash everywhere so I don't blame them for being mad. Mendocino on up the north coast is prettier and often a lot less people 🤫

Turns out you CAN clean something as wild as so much “trash” — in this case sea glass from being a former dumping site — just give the place a reputation and people will pick it clean Imagine what’s happening to actually protected parks right now; oh wait I don’t have to: https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2019/01/joshua-tree-national-park-close-cleanup-repairs-vandalism-illegal-roads Though kind of paired with that goes posts like this that kind of depress me sometimes as well

well its not just hicks trying to abuse resources now that they will have trouble catching them -- its also instagram girlfriends and ~adventurers/travelers~ trying to get good shots on their current loop Brought To You By <PRODUCT> and they're not going to let some silly gate stop them; they're hard to control to begin with even when they have staff also mix in a mentality of "well just little old me driving/camping/walking down here couldn't really hurt anything right" only 200+ other people have that exact same thought process full-fledged rangers in some systems, like the California state parks system, are also the parks LEOs so you get some crossover with Blue Lives Matter stuff which is always a little depressing

Detectives said the nickname “Ca$h” was linked to Baird while Agawereh’s nickname “Truck” was already known to police. literally execute these people, imo they also posted it on instagram because they are too dumb to live

eh a bit of insight into my own brain tonight showed that its not being a pharmacist or even being a real busy pharmacist that drains my motivation to live, but all the extra reports and poo poo my boss wants, and the lack of support given to do so. lol if only they knew how much I wanted out of that place
