This weekend I had too much fun. I was actually glad to go back to work today, to get a break from all the fun. Went downtown for Mudbug Madness (an annual crawfish festival), and came across this:

They were having the USA Collegiate Wakeboarding National Championship this weekend. I had no idea that was a thing, but wakeboarding is cool so I stopped and watched for a bit. By the way, yes, that is the actual color of the water. It's not called the Red River for no reason.

Crawfish is good, but 3 pounds is not nearly a substantial enough meal for all the beer that was consumed. I was 3:00 am drunk by 6 in the afternoon.
This guy did a juggling show. Something tells me he could do some pretty impressive trackstanding.

Cars made with turbos after the late 80s usually have a jacket around bearing that water runs through (CHRA) to help dissipate heat, no real need for a turbo timer, but it wouldn't hurt.

Today I swapped bars with my friend, 38cm nitto rb021. I really like the look of pursuits but I'm not sure if my hands will be comfortable on the tops (where I spend most of my time). So far there is a lot of pressure near the base of my thumb. I have them angled down to hopefully reach the outside of my palms, if that makes sense? Any tips would be nice, is the narrowness a factor?

I really didn't like the feel of RB-021 FWIW. I think they were too narrow and my hands didn't like that.
That car is hawttt

Welcome to the subie brotherhood.
fwiw, I have a turbo timer. Can't hurt and the gas it 'wastes' is completely negligible. Bonus, it has a pretty good engine bay temp reading.

Then I woke up and realized I live in Canada, and don't own a gun.

Last night I had a dream where I was riding in a state where carrying a firearm was legal, so I had a handgun holstered on my back, visible to the cars driving by. It was a serene dream, and I was bothered by nobody as I rode through traffic.

In AZ, as far as I know, you don't need a permit to carry open, but do if you want to conceal it. I don't know the laws that well because I'm not really a gun guy. See lots of redneck ******bags carrying while they're shopping at costco though. Guess ya never know when you're going to have to take someone out over economy size ketchup.
Be happy you live in Canada, you're much better off.

Nah, not old enough to open carry a pistol in CA, and It'd be too cumbersome to carry a rifle or shotgun of course.
