Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

It's been a long day, but I'm into the last half hour of my shift (hopefully). I swapped out the Taco for the Death Sled on my break. That was a delightful change of pace, and I look forward to the ride home as well.

 

You are all kids! 66+

 

Adam - I know I gave you a new name for it but stay upright and do not apply the name!

 

For sure. I'm embracing the irony of the name, because I ride like an old man!

 

Saw these at the store yesterday. Made me chuckle.

 

Yeah, idiots are everywhere.

 

This shit made me seriously laugh for some reason

Thank you

 

RIP Paul Walker

 

That's a couple of nice looking bass you got there.

 

BA!

 

I'll second @NWPirate. This is Badass.

 

I'm all for supporting small business but I also love a good discount even more so with todays climbing gear prices. For all you Veterans, Law enforcement and healthcare workers out there look into a website called expert voice. You have to sign up for an account but it's basically pro deal pricing at 30-60% off retail. Tons of brands on their site.

I'll jump into this 'dialog'... cuz there's 2 sides of the fence to debate here

Can't remember who said that they'd 'dime out' the perp if they had name/info, but here's my perspective on it...

9 times out of 10 there's an explanation why an event occurred, why it wasn't immediately resolved, and it's usually not criminal or malicious in nature; either it was purely accidental, there was some other emergent/pressing situation the person(s) were working through, the responsible party had no idea who to contact (IE>>> I've got no idea who owns or is responsible for this), etc....

Bottom line, IMO, is that most of us are honest people and will take responsibility for something we did (right or wrong), and knowing that if it were ME w/the information about YOU, I'd give you the benefit of the doubt; meaning I'd PM you directly and say, 'Hey, this looks like you/your rig, and it looks like LE is trying to contact the folks involved. You may want to reach out to XXXX agency and see what they need before they contact you via other means'...

I struggle w/the fact that folks here may feel obligated or enticed to try and connect the dots based on an article, a post, a newsfeed, or whatever and what limited info they have about you or me from interaction on this forum...

Again, I am in no way condoning intentional (or accidental) desecration of public land or private property, but on the other hand let's give each other the benefit of the doubt, man up, and reach out directly to whomever you think is responsible and see if you can't encourage or motivate them to 'do the right thing' if (in fact) they weren't already heading down that path

 

The multiple times I've had people hit and run my vehicles makes me feel differently. There is a pervasive "it's only illegal if you get caught" mentality, and a huge push toward nothing being "your" fault. It's always your parent's, or society's, or the patriarchy's, or (insert trendy boogeyman of the day here) that is to blame. Personal responsibility is a dying trait.

The shopping cart litmus test is an internet joke, but I think it has a degree of merit to it, and there's a whole lot of unreturned carts roaming the parking lots. That's a no penalty scenario and people don't do the objectively correct thing. Add in the risk of penalty and the number of people willing to just bail to avoid taking responsibility goes up... a lot.

I do agree with the rest of your post, though. If I knew the person I would definitely be talking to them to try and get them to do the right thing.

 

Good shout out! I've got a veteran buddy who uses expert voice for lots of stuff that he buys. Some really good savings on lots of stuff on there.

 

Apparently my weather app thinks I need to get laid. This was from this morning.

 

That's why I started shopping at the store where you need a coin to get a cart.

 

Your weather app and the rest of us in this forum...

... and remember you just said that folks are inherently flawed and generally unable to make the right decisions, so we'll just take care of your decision for you

I'm starting a GO FUND ME for G-EZs hooker date

 

Honestly, if you're gonna start a go fund me for me, I'd rather the funds went to kitting out the Death Sled. Way more fun to ride.

 

But is it wrong??

 

Are weather people ever right in anything that resembles a level of consistency that you would trust?

 

So, now we have it... this is where you're doing it wrong

It's HER job to 'ride'; not yours

 

They're 100% accurate.. when they're right

 

Uh, both, please.

 

That is a great tip, thanks.
