The BS Thread v2

We had a Volkswagon Taos as a rental car. Drove it all over the Quebec countryside and man that is a shit car. I could write a paragraph on it for all the issues it has but yeah...just don't buy one Can't believe Volkswagon released a POS like that.

We had one as a rental earlier this year. Besides the MPG, it was trash.

Yeah the MPG was the only good thing about it, averaging 30MPG at 100kph (62 mph).

With all this humidity, this hog passed out from heat exhaustion and fell right into a CCI hollow point I happened to be shooting

“The River House Broke. We Rushed in the River.”

The July 4 Texas flooding ripped our Kerr County home from its pillars, pulling us into the water and into the night. Then morning came.

In Chicago for the week while the girlfriend is attending a work conference. Found this ramen place that was amazing

Pork belly?

Pork belly?

10 hour pork tonkatsu ramen and skirt steak rice. Not sure what they do to it for 10 hours but it sure was delicious!

@tx_shooter if you need new lenses, I replaced my UA polarized lenses with some replacements from Revant. I have forgotten that they are replacements. The optical quality is top notch.

I need to order some replacement lenses for those Ray Bans still. It just pisses me off that Sunglass Hut does not have any receipts.

During 4th of July sale I ordereed an Olight arkfeld ultra and it came with a free little AAA powered keychain light. Got my initials laser etched on there and I have to say thus far I am impressed with the light output for the price. It is also a laser pointer for those who have cats or ADHD friends

Toyo AT3's are fantastic in the sand. I pulled out a Dodge dually and a 2wd Dodge 1500 this past week and it barely span a tire yanking them out. I was also too lazy to air down and they still performed.

Just landed in Rome. Slept maybe 45 minutes on the flight over. It’s 9:30am. Gonna be a long day.

I always take a quick nap at lunch on the first day so I can make it to a proper bed time.

I did get an hour nap in around 3 today. So about 3.5 hours ago. I will make it to a normal bedtime but I was struggling earlier.

That's where you want to be. I always try to stay awake the first day so I go to bed at the regular time there and to me (probably doesn't work for everyone) it helps me get over the jet lag faster.

There are three ways to skin that cat. Take a 1.5 hour nap upon arrival, a 3 hour nap upon arrival, or stay awake with no naps until bed time. Arrival time and airplane rest quality all play a role in that, but my learning and experience says naps are best kept to 90 minutes or 3 hours to avoid waking up from a deep cycle.

I opted for the 3 hour nap today in London. I am afraid I might have issues getting to sleep later tonight though, probably should have gone for the 90 minute option like I normally do.

While in the UK…

It was a good day today. Hit the Vatican and all that is involved with that. Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica were incredible. Photos do not do it justice. Words don’t do it justice. The coliseum was cool, but fuck it was hot and crowded. We went to some restaurant for dinner that was super cool. Kinda like an underground catacomb with live entertainment.
