im younger 43 but i have had my issues.

i no longer drink, that was a big change right there. 

diet is a big one. i dont have a relationship with food at all, i eat beacuse i need to, im a gym rat i eat alot, but i eat the same things pretty much every day.  i know most wont like this part but my diet is mostly vegan. after 5 years or so i just started eating some chicken here and there, and some turkey. red meat is not good for your body, i felt a difference when i cut out dairy. sometimes ill have something with cheese on it and i can feel the difference, i feel sluggish when i eat something heavy in dairy. 

i totally understand the not sleeping and not turning your brain off. have you tried edibles? those have helped me in a few ways. my brain still will not turn off but it will change my thoughts to stuff that just doesnt matter and i can relax. i dont take alot just a 10mg is good but i do take it on empty stomach. also with pain management. i have a bunch of tramadol, and used to take one here and there for bad pain i get sometimes from previous injuries. for me a 10mg edible does a better job than a 100mg tramadol and i dont feel like crap and useless like i do on tramadol. my fav edible is one from lost farms, the strain is wedding cake its an indica dominate. 

as for TRT, i have been taking it for probably 6 years, im on the low end naturally and being a gym rat i wanted it to help with building muscle. the dose is small about 200-250mg per week. i have tried higher dose but felt better on the lower. it will suppress your natural but not shut it down, if you want to come off the TRT it is possible and your body can rebound, coming off can be done like a PCT protocol that bodybuilders use when they come off a roid cycle, mainly using something like enclomipene, this can also be used to help boost your natural if you want to try that before TRT,(there are sites that sell this as a research chemical and completely legal to buy)  those test booster pills everyone sells is snake oil. also you need to go injection, the other methods are just not as effective. there is also a TRT called a pellet therapy, they will cut your cheek and place a pellet in the butt muscle that will dissolve over a time period, normally like 6 months. 

last is exercise, this is something you have to want to do. i love the gym and dont feel right if i dont workout, its as much mental as it is physical. if there is a sport you used to play finding an adult league would help. even just going out for a walk with the dog is great, being out moving. i also play a pretty competitive adult hockey league, its not just a bunch of out of shape guys still trying to play its some decent hockey. exercise is tough one for people to get going, but if you stay with it and stay consistent you will notice differences and feel much better, but fitness is a slow journey, remember you didnt put on the weight overnight and it wont come off overnight. the fitness part is something i have really enjoyed. 

my daughter likes little arts and crafts. we get stuff on there for alot cheaper than going to michaels or hobby lobby. i dont see any difference in the stuff we get on there compared to the stuff at michaels for alot more money.  that is the extent of what we buy on there. 

i didnot think new years was anywhere close to as bad as halloween. after this year  im done with halloween/camp rzr. i hated that weekend. i dont like the type of people that were out on halloween, and i have never seen the place so trashed. this trip we were out in wash 27, our group got out there on wednesday we had a big group so finding a spot for 9 trailers was harder, if our group was smaller probably would of been a little different. leaving on monday was not really an issue. took about 45 minutes to get from wash 27 to the highway, i rolled out about 11am. on halloween we could not leave untill 6pm. noticed alot of people started leaving saturday and sunday. the washes looked like they thinned out alot by sunday evening. the fireworks at midnight were still good but not as much as the previous years. i still plan on being back out for new years next season. i do look forward to the rest of the season being off weekend trips. 

gilmores was renting sand boards at one point but i dont know if they still are. you would need a big dune to even make it worth it. the sand in glamis is normally pretty soft not the best for sliding. we take a snow sled out with us alot and the kids play on that. we found on big dude and the adults tried it, not much speed going down at all and the hike back up was hard, we found another one where we took on of the SxS down to pick up the person that was sliding down. tried to attach a little video trying to slide down what looks like a smaller dune was was actually kinda steep.

Nothing funnier than watching LA in CHOKETOBER.  Sounds like you are still bitter about getting bounced by the Madres, then swept by AZ,  Then LA fans whine that SD is buying a team, LMAO!!!!  Ohtani contract is a 20 year deal, 2mill a yr for first 10 yrs, then 68 MIL a yr for another 10yrs!  Not sure how that will work out

DODGERS PAYROLL IN 2040= 84,000,000

FREEMAN 50YRS OLD    5,000,000

BETTS  47 YRS OLD        11,000,000

OHTANI  45 YRS OLD     68,000,000

im not bitter they got beat it happens. i just find it very funny how others try to trash talk when their team does not have a record to back up the talk. no one ever whined all other fan been saying that about LA forever. now we could say that about the failed money splurge in SD last year and the years anaheim did it. the whole choke thing cracks me up too, your team cant even make it there but here they are saying another team "chokes". its a game anyone can win at any time any day. 

sounds like you are pretty bitter though.

Less than Yore team and we won as many games in the playoffs as  you did

still makes me laugh, cant get in but still trying to talk trash, last season was a joy to watch after all the talking SD players and fans did. coudnt make the playoffs. barley got above 500 and finished 18 games back in the division. with a payroll so big they had to take out a 50mil loan to finish the season. 

angel fans have been trying to say similar stuff which is even funnier considering their performance.

Being a padre fan I hate them but damn paying somebody 70mil a year is Cray Cray cuz they will still go out in the first round of the playoffs

funny  a padre fan talk about another team going out the first round when they RARELY even make the playoffs (7times in team history). what was the padres payroll last year? where were they when october rolled around?

when i was looking for something for the rzr i was looking at noam just because of price. others had good things to say about it but what i didnot like is how everything was mounted on the cage. i ended up with the MTX thunder system. one big mistake i made on that was instead of buying the kit that MTX makes i bought the everything separate, it was cheaper. but MTX kit is listed as plug and play, but you only get the plug and play connectors when you buy the kit as a whole. i dont know installation at all and wanted the plug and play so i could do it my self. MTX does not sale the plug and play connectors. lucky i talked to a rep at the sand show and he was able to set something up for me to buy the plug and play. when i bought it a site was doing a flash sale of 10%, they had advertised it on the rzr fourm, then they had an additional 20% off your first purchase if you gave an email address for marketing. i didnt get the sub, just the four speakers and amp was plenty for me. dont need crazy sound just something.

So, did you miss my point? People suck! Everywhere. As for your "real" question that I missed, how else do we address it? I've not once said I was against enforcement. Matter of fact I welcome it. What solution did you mention? Because unfortunately, you can't just throw those people out. 

i do get that people suck, my how do we address it more was a question of the people that are doing it, you are not like them but get lumped in with the stereotype. the stereotype would not be a stereotype if it was not a common occurrence. you dont want us to blame a group, as you are part of that group but not a part of the problem group. that part is what got you mad, and i understand that,  its a behavior issue not a race issue but those behaviors are coming more from a group. there are lots of videos all over social media from the weekend, fights and trash. we see these things in the washes the hill and the drags, but we dont see those issues at places like swingset, china wall, hotshot. im not trying to make anyone mad or personally attack but i just dont see another way to address the common theme with the issues. 

im all for more enforcement, all my stuff is legal and i dune sober. of course i dont want to get stopped by the rangers. but if me getting stopped here and there means that the ones that are the issue are also getting stopped then im ok with that.

Facebook hinted at a similar event. Check it out. I wonder how many of these folks were there to hear the "Banda Music" oh, that's right! It wasn't one of those events. 

 

i was asking a real question wanting to try and an actually conversation, yet you bring up something that has nothing to do with off roaders or glamis. just to try and show some point.

        I am definitely all up in that stereotype but play no part. My whole family flies that Mexican flag proudly to which I don't understand and have constant friendly arguments and jabs about it. I am a proud American and respect the dunes more than most. If you disrespect ol' Momma G in front of me, I'll be in your face regardless of what you look like. They have learned way back since the first trip I took them there. Now I'm proud to see them correcting others. Believe me, nobody wants to be stereotyped but hey, that's life. Just know that because they are flying a different flag in this great free country, doesn't mean they are trashing the place either but you do you. 

my self and other have said the same thing, feel kinda bad about lumping everyone in together as there are good people that share the same characteristics like yourself BUT those are the ones causing alot problems, how else can we address it? more times than not the stereotype checks out. there were camps by us this weekend playing loud banda all night and setting off fireworks using a certain flag for a whip, after they left we went and cleaned up the trash they left. the other camps around us picked up after themselves. group infront us of at the hill, same music playing super loud in their cars, same whip, throwing beer cans on the ground as they reach in their ice chest to get another one. 

kinda same topic, anyone know anything about the life flight that landed at olds on saturday night? rangers cleared a big spot in the back for the chopper to land.

Should Camp RZR be responsible for clean up? Y'ALL thru the party. When I throw a party, I'm usually the one cleaning it up. Too large a crowd? Peace

i think they should. with them investing so much money into things at glamis i would think they would want to help keep it clean and not give environmental people a reason to fight to close it. flats and the washes at the minimum, they are a big reason why there are more people out there. we all got the invite marketing flyer in the mail. if they are going to promote the party they should clean up the party. maybe they do and we just dont know about it,

100% on Holiday Weekends and Weeks. The extra staff is already there...put then to full use.

Heavy fines and IMPOUND toys, the problem will get fixed fast.

I saw the videos, pictures, etc. It sucks to see, but the problem is pretty bad with the Latino / Hispanic Community.

See a problem, go after the problem. Seems simple right?

I don't see BS Laws protecting Litter Bugs and Inconsiderate A-holes in Glamis, so why don't the LEO go after them?

Heavy fines and IMPOUND toys, the problem will get fixed fast.

 

don't put us all in that category. Simply go after the rule breakers, its not hard.

i kinda feel bad lumping together one category of people, there are good people that share similar characteristics, but dont really know how else to address the problem crowd. they are a big part of the problems we are having. dont really have the trash issue at the hang out spots that require duning and a little sense of direction like swing set, china wall, and flag pole.

It is freakin embarrassing what the off road community has become.  Zero respect for anything.  While I appreciate the Monday morning carnage, I am saddened to see what the future brings.

i was really bummed at the condition that alot of camps were left in. the one next to us left everything including the big BBQ. we went and cleaned up the trash but didnt have a way to get the BBQ out. at the hill watched a group infront of us throw their beer cans on the ground and grab another out the chest. sad to say but they are all the same type of people, you know the ones that play the music we cant stand till 4 am, all wearing fox riding jerseys. not saying all of that group are like that but you cant deny that alot of issues we are having have been getting worse since that group started coming out in large numbers. reading the comments on some other posts alot of people feel the same way. we complain about overreach from the rangers but after this weekend i would welcome a little more activy from them. alot of it is the ease of financing a SXS, but i cant knock that too much because that is how i was able to get my rzr.

Would you say that staying off Gecko Rd be a more calm atmosphere? Or at least a better hard packed area for the RV? 

if you want to stay off gecko you should of had your RV there last weekend. getting a spot there on Thursday most likely wont happen. even on Thursday expect to be down in the high number washes. our group will be there thrusday evening im guessing we will end up around wash 20. 

normally when we are camped way down in the washes we will go up to somewhere close to wash 6 and then head into the dunes.

Coyne at the show was going to sell my friend a Maverick R for $1,500 under MSRP and no dealer prep or freight charges and no mention of any ADM.  He declined as he already had a deposit/deal on one through his local dealer. 

If your looking for a 4 seat Pro R - Wheels N Motion in Chatsworth, CA is super easy to deal with and they were not charging any additional mark ups.  My friend got a 4 seat Pro R from them for MSRP, plus tax last year when inventory was really low. 

Inventory is pretty high for most dealers and people are not going crazy these days buying everything.  Deals can be made. 

 

i got my turbo S from wheels n motion, this was  2 years when it was very hard to even find inventory, deals were not happening you were just lucky to get a car but their fees were way less than others, fees were something like half of what the fees at berts were. it was an easy process.

He just has the hole in the bed for the gooseneck.....does your Pattriot have the male portion that goes into the receiver. He does not have the puck system

mine is attached using the traditional rails. so dont think it would work on his truck.  

i have the BW patriot, not sure if there is much of a difference. i am out in palm springs area (la quinta). if you cant find something closer let me know.

He wont have the turning radius.  Even with 4 ft forks it wont turn 90 deg. maybe 45 at best. I can pull mine into the back shop yard no problem but if i need to cut it hard its a set down and reposition the lift to do it.

its not a hard cut, i have room to make the turn gradually, here is a pic of the area, the yellow arrow is the warehouse door the trailer is in.

What if you had a set of dedicated forks and shortened them as much as you can but still clear the front of the trailer? It would or could move the lift point closer to the forklift which may help. My $.02 

worth a try for sure, i have one spare fork i can look for another, i dont need to move the trailer far at all, just in and out of a warehouse but i does need to make a 90deg turn to get into the warehouse. once i had the landing gear set too low, and i was able to lift up the front of the trailer enough with the forklift to get a block under the landing gear, but just lifting and moving it are 2 different things

i enjoyed the show, only had one complaint, the lack of full face helmets. daughter needs a new one thought it would be a good place to see different ones and get her one. no luck. i bought an all black one for me on a really good deal, but only saw a couple places that had a very limited stock. we will just take a trip to chaparral. lots of motocross style helmets but its the side by side show and more people using full face not motocross. saw some other good deals on things that i liked but dont need. didnt want to spend money just for the sake of spending money. was nice seeing more deals on new machines again, couple years ago when i bought my RZR you were lucky to get a machine in stock let alone get a deal on one. of course there were plenty that had way too many lights and speakers with a crazy price tag.

I'm not to sure about welding to those forks.  They are harden steel and it may fatigue it.  Id find some rectangle steel stock and make it fit over both forks. Then weld the tube on the steel stock.  

Just my opinion.

thank you! i dont know much about steel or welding so the response is greatly appreciated.

I agree, I didn't know until I tried it. But..... when your pushing the 5er, be very tender on the forklift brakes. 

i have a spare fork from my old 5k lift, if i had a tube welded on to the fork like you did on your set up do you think that would that be too much pressure on one fork?
