I was at a casino in Mexico and stumbled upon this incredible collection of Don Quixote art. Reading Don Quixote is great to learn Spanish, learn insights into human nature, laugh and enrich the soul. Miguel De Cervantes was a genius.

Any sports betters here? I'm at the Wynn in Vegas and I always like to place a season bet on an NBA and/or NFL team to win the championship. (No sports betting in Utah)

Looking for middle-grade fliers ... like the Jets winning the Super Bowl.

I usually have no problem making these bets but I just haven't followed pro sports as much to make an educated bet.
Da Bears!

Drove 600 KM from Mazatlan Sinaloa to Ajijic Lake Chapala In Guadalajara.
I always had a fear of solo road trips in general, but through Mexico being my first was a big ask - it turned out completely fine.

I have over 100+ pics of the trip, but for some reason I cant explain this is my favorite.

Da Bears!
As a lifelong die hard Bears fan I second this. Saw it at +6000 yesterday. Could we go from worst to 1st in one year? Doubtful, but a 20 buck bet on it would make it fun if they end year at 11 - 6 and make a run at it.

Wynn only has em at +3000, nearly half the return.

I took the Bills which is not considered a flier. The Jazz or Pelicans for the NBA championship, the DBacks for the World Series.

Good move at those odds not worth it as Da Bears have a lot of work and need way higher payoff. I have no idea about bball but love that Bills n Dbacks bet, you got a chance, good luck!

If anyone here is into old style cars,

I just saw a 1970 bronco with a full restoration, train horn, new engine, a custom orange color, wheels that were like 3 ft big with maximum suspension and 400 hp.

It was probably valued around 450-550k.

I heard what sounded like a super car behind me, next thing I saw was a truck that was like 11 ft into the air.

IMG_1688.jpegI was just looking for my cards from old card company I wanted to start with 2 of my friends like 4 years back.

I think I gave the 200+ hand drawn beta cards off to one of the “owners”.

I was able to find an old sheet with ones we didn’t make, we can probably make them better and actually launch.

what do you guys think? Those drawings are a$$ as there were 3 “owners”

One was the main drawer, he was great at drawing, he made most of them

The other was responsible for names (the one who drew the ones above)

I was in charge of new cards, concepts , the playable aspects of the game, and sketches.

I think I can get all of us together and revive this, I want to hear what you guys think?

They were called chip cards,

It started when I was at one of their houses waiting to go play dodge ball.

I drew a crown and a potato chip.

Boom king chip was born.

I remember we were planning out our entire future with these cards.

Many of our friends didn’t believe us but we didn’t care

Oh how many times we got in trouble for talking in class about new concepts.

We asked our teacher if we could sit at the back during lunch and work.

We had a whole triangle of elements and which ones over powered which.

Anyways, what do you guys think?

Now I remember why I don't gamble regularly and make sports bets, as soon as I posted a bet on the DiamondBacks to win the World Series, they lost 5 straight games.

A man taking on his first 100kg squat.
20230801_192910.jpg
And it was doable. Got 3 good reps and one scuffed one.

Crazy to think that my pr was 80kg just two weeks ago.
I started purely training strength after seeing a huberman podcast episode where he spoke about the benefits of doing strength for a few weeks a year.
I decided to focus on getting stronger untill I stop getting noob gains from strength (been training for year but never cared about weight).
At that point I'll go back to hypertrophy training for maybe a year and then see where I am at.

Also it's just fun to lift heavy shit in th 3 to 5 rep range.

Congrats man! I agree, sometimes I just do crazy shit for fun.

I normally do like 8-10 reps/failure.

Yesterday was legs, I went with my friends and they set it to 65kg.

I did it once, they tried, couldn’t even make it budge.

I then did 45 kg for 3 reps, they did one.

Legit they stared at me, they realized that I got strong a$$ legs.

(First time me ever hitting legs in my life, I have good genes ig)

That was on leg extensions btw.

Today I can’t even walk lmao

I don't often get cut off on the highway.

But when I do...

At least it was a fellow fastlaner's work truck.

“Fellow fastlaner…” I love it… how do I get my girlfriend to start seeing dirty trucks full of paint and lawn mowers this way…

No really. If I am not mistaken the JP on that truck stands for @Juan Pimentel I am 99% sure that really is his company. I met that dude at the summit.

I think it's funny to "out" his employee on here. Was tailgating the guy in front of me after he cut me off. Of course, if it was actually him and his dad that cut me off on the I17 around 200 today, that would be extra hilarious. Slow down JP!

Massive stack of cash earned from such activity.

Last time he posted, he was actually crushing it. They went from struggling to blowing right past $1M in revenue.

Hope he gets good business liability insurance the way his guy drives though... #BizydadNeedsANewPairOfShoes

Congrats Chosen One!

I was referring to stacks incurred from a lawn maintenance biz as those results change people minds real quick. But than guess he would have a chicken and egg issue as would need his ladies head nod to go forward. But since he is fast laning something to over a million I'm sure he could get a go ahead if he wants to get into the JB business one day.

He wasn't talking about me, he was talking about the owner of the truck. Granted, most everything I have (prior to starting my own biz and real estate investments) comes from a sweaty/blue collar family biz that resembles this (started by my grandfather), where I worked all my teenage summers and my 20's, paid for my childhood home, all our vacations, my college, our vehicles, and on and on. Still doesn't convince many people because they would rather look cool than know the truth. Hard to turn a slowlaner into a fastlaner!

What did Thomas Edison say? "Opportunity misses most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like hard work."

Another thing is that many people care more about looking good than getting results!

My bad, just read the second part of BDs post. Out walking by river front and this old man does not have his reading glasses. Agree on all you posted on, time to get the overalls on and get to work.
