That sucks man! Sorry to hear that. I understand though, that happened to me a few weeks ago (probably 8-10 now... wow that's a while ago) ended up just fishing for the day and going home. What was the place you were supposed to stay at? I usually stay at a state camp ground so it's only $7 a day for a tent $3 for a hammock.

Hey WW,

Sorry to hear about your trip. We've had a few similar trips over the years. In fact, a few years ago we drove 11 hours to get to a campground that had been flooded and we to set our tent in the mud. That's when we decided to get our Roof Top Tent (RTT). Kinda sucked at the time, but it made for a good story later...

Thanks fellas.

I got one of those little tents you just throw in the air and it opens all up...I normally just use it when im going out alone, its light, small, and quick to put up or take down.. And for what i paid (around 25) its pretty great and has lasted me 3 years... Granted its not top quality by no means but works out just fine for me. I took it on a survival course once 2 or 3 years ago and i had the cheapest tent there... And half the guys would of traded with me after the first time we moved camp areas.

But anyways since the camping trip was a bust i set it up in the living room for the kids, and the wife grilled some hotdogs and hamburgers here at the house. The kids are in the tent now happy and watching cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Cbear, we normally stay at state parks as well.... But i have been on a mission to find a more secluded camping area. No luck yet though. Growing up we got in a kayak/canoe/john boat and just fished our way to a secluded camp area. Ill be glad to get back down there. At least i know of areas to go there.

My father owns a little land right on the Suwanee River and thats always been a good place to get away from everything. I guess now a days he has a RV type camper with electric and all if thats your thing and if not, because if i go camping i prefer a tent... their is plenty room for tents. with a nice fire pit, tent area, picnic area and a lifted deck area. Also a floating pontoon dock, if its still there, in the water on the beach of the river if you wanna swim.

Most of the stuff done to it now i havent even seen yet. Hell i remember when the land was just trees and hogs LMAO i remember paddling up on the land when it was flooded and the kayak i was in kept hitting a branch i couldnt even see in the water, so i reached around and tried to pull the branch out the way... It was a boar.. Missing a couple legs... I can fully admit i was a little freaked out HAHA

Who steals garbage cans?!?

We just picked up 3 new garbage cans last week to replace our old cracked ones, and I get home Friday after work and notice one was missing. I had even paracorded the lid to the garbage can stand so the wind wouldn't blow them away, and they cut it and took a can and lid. Kinda pissed off yesterday, but today I took out the garbage and the somebitch came back last night for another one!! Friggin garbage man hasn't even touched it yet and already two are missing. Yeah they're only like $14 a piece, but it's MY $14! Now I've got one can left, which I'm now marking up all around it "Stolen from..." and my address, with a sharpie.

I'll be walking the neighborhood back alleys for sure for the next few weeks, and I swear if I find them, those people will have their garbage bags cut and their garbage thrown in their backyard...and maybe I'll leave a deuce on their porch step... Currently trying to figure out some sort of alarm/warning system for my last one - maybe something with some paracord and an air horn? Hmmm...

That sucks bro.

I remember talking about this same exact thing in another one of the snark threads many months back. First time we put a new garbage can out here it was gone. We ended up finding a used one later on the side of the road.. It was a little broken up and ugly so we figured no one would steal that one.. Wrong they took it too.... Now we just put out trash bags. And I still had to put a sign out saying all cans are in the recycling bin NOT the trash bags to keep the late night walkers from ripping open our trash bags in hopes to find cans or other recyclables.

So, friend of mine on Facebook challenged the "hearies" to a lip reading challenge. The "deafies" that are taking it are scoring between 40/55 to 48/55. I took it and got a 44/55.

If lip reading was an essential part of interpreting... SURE! Hell I'd love another straight guy in the field that I can share the work with... I'm really sick and tired of being the "go to guy" to go with so the deafies can get prostate exams and told "yes sir, you got herpes, stop f(...)g those hookers on the street and get you one of them high class 'Escort' type chicks... they'll rob you blind but not live you in a bind!"

You should put some stickers or spray paint a star on it, make it easier to see from a distance.

LOL, i was being sarcastic. I didnt think that was a good score. I had to replay most of them several times and even then id only catch a couple key words and then take an educated?:rolleyes:? guess

Most likely i'd get fired pretty quick.


And sorry but being a snark thread and all i cant NOT do this :D

Actually that is pretty good... Most of the deafies I have talked to that have done that "challenge" have gotten mid-teens to low 20s. Only a few have gotten over 30 at all... Even a few that are "integrated" in the hearing world have gotten low 20s to mid 20s. Only a few have gotten higher than 30. It isn't an easy challenge... I just went with gut instinct when watching them. Although if they wanted to make it REALLY hard, the sentences wouldn't show up till after the video was over and you wouldn't be able to repeat the videos.

We weren't talking about the fruity stuff you drink when you share your cot on the mountain! The men are talking!

I had a buddy that would call me out any time I did something not "manly". I would just remind him that I own 30 guns and two old trucks and he has a Sigma and a Ford Focus. That shut him up pretty quick.

I don't care if it is girly. Them fruity drinks is delicious.

A sigma? Seriously, what was he thinking.


Zzzzzzs, that is a pair of wooden jaws inside 1/4" square tube. There is a huge cap screw to lock the wooden jjaws. Then you can position it in your vise however you like. Mr. Musselman uses it lots. Nifty gizmo. Don't have one myself.
