I represent the minority/Asian community. If you want your race-color represented by Mercedes, by all means make your voice heard.

So went camping this weekend. Friends of ours have a wicked lot, with a river flowing just 45 feet away and beautiful scenery all around. Had plenty of brews with a seafood boil on Saturday. It rained on and off all Friday, Saturday and Sunday though. We got filthy AF after playing with the 2 seater...



These were a few of the toys I played with.


This thing was a blast. 1000cc DOHC engine You can see the edge of the 3rd trailer that was out there. It's the one we stayed in- not nearly as nice as the other, much newer two that are there. All three stay out there year round.


Obligatory puppy pics


Who's a good boy!? We had him on a leash for one of the days. The Beagle he was playing with found some old cooking oil/grease deep in the trees that some dumbass dumped out there, with his crazy powerful nose. Our pup followed him in and we couldn't keep the two out after. No human food for you!!


And colorful fire. Oooo! Aaaah! It was some powder stuff that changed the flame color. Magic!

Haha, I don't quite pass the test. I dont drive a truck and I don't own a quad, dirt bike or side-by-side. I also don't own a trailer and I don't go hunting, or ultra conservative. Im a terrible redneck!

I do enjoy beers by the fire though. I'm pretty sure every canadian does! I fuckin love the outdoors, whether its hiking, snow shoeing, snowboarding, mountain biking, whatever. Keeps me young at heart.

Camping is fun. I'm more of a tent dude than RV but I have a friend who has a lot with a 5th wheel on it and I go each summer just to BBQ, drink beer, camp fire and all around enjoy nature.

Thanks Adam...dude, 21" overhang...2CM granite (the one you got pounded on was probably 3CM) with a laminate edge to build up the look...with 3/4 ply under for support...
on the old island, with the formica/plywood combo...people would lean it would bow down. Stressed me out...figured with the steel I would not even sweat it if 3 people were leaning on it at the same damn time. They recommend support for anything over 12", I believe.

Surprised it's not a blonde hair blue eyed edition



No major debacles for install...
they forgot to put in a hole for the soap dispenser (we forgot to ask)
they showed up with the wrong sink...had to go back to the shop and cut the granite correctly and steal one from another job. We wanted squared edges, not rounded...they offered us the one they brought us in error for free if we kept it, $300 free!...Betty said hell no.

Got 3 of the bathroom faucets and the kitchen sink faucet in...p traps were reconfigured for the master and one of the kitchen drains...cabinet trimmed to fit the new cooktop...last thing is making room for the garbage disposal. The new sink holes are much further back.

I'm fkg tired.

Me too, man. The whole trailer thing is a bit foreign to me, but it was nice this past weekend with all the rain we had. The only thing I don't like about tenting is when you gotta get up in the middle of the night to take a piss... that gets annoying

Sometimes I wish I didn't move into a house that's pretty much done. I don't have shit to do, I've been making up shit as I go along.... adding shit that I don't really need. I want to do plantation shutters throughout but I have 4 over sized windows and then 15 regular windows.. then I have some windows on top of windows... probably would cost 6k..

Man, there is ALWAYS shit you can do. There is ALWAYS stuff you can improve. You're not being creative enough!

Shiiiiet. I didn't realize it was a 21" overhang. In that case, yeah, good idea

@ your new avatar....hahahahaha...
yeah, man...no doubt...no stress now, all supported!

Betty's car needs tires!

Flippy, our car was a solid foundation for upgrades...but Adam is right, look around and see what you can do yourself and all the cool trick stuff you've seen and wanted. Upgrading lights/fans...making mirror frames with a router. Any excuse to buy a new tool!

I LOVE plantation shutters. But I have a lot of black friends so I won't buy them on principle.

They're a lot of money...I get by with the bamboo looking ones...they look nice.

Hey its not like the RLX is a sports car, even in sport hybrid trim. Fuck it has no clutch even. It's not exactly rocket science to feather the go pedal. No worrying about optimum gear selection. No worrying about rpm. No worrying about fuck all besides the go pedal. Its not like 377hp is earth shattering either. Unless you're a dummy, of course

He's posted a couple of pics in his thread.. probably laying low since we found out he's a space case living in the closet with low self-esteem (read high, gay, and suicidal).
