Stayed at the Bellagio for a few nights in June….room rate was $199/night which is not bad for the hotel, however, the resort fee was an additional $55 per night. After the fee, parking, and taxes it was around $100 a night more than advertised.

SEMA show in Las Vegas

Has anyone here ever attended? This year will be my first time attending and not sure what to expect other than it’s a very large event. I’m looking for any advice especially in regards to helping see as much as possible over two days, what to avoid, etc.

Thanks in advance.
Driving to Yellowstone from Louisiana in a couple of weeks. Renting is way cheaper than the wear and tear on my own vehicle. Looking at around 4,000 miles.
I’ve read a couple of threads here over the years and was always pessimistic on if these things really work well but finally decided to order one. This is a complete game changer…..one of the best purchases I’ve made! I didn’t get the heated model but the cold water is no issue and you get instantly clean without all the toilet paper waste. Wish I would have gotten this a lot sooner. Below is the link to the one I purchased if any of you baws should so choose to indulge:

Proof that spending time on the OT actually can be productive.



I’ve been looking at hot tubs for a few months. Seriously considering one of the inflatable ones just to see if we would use it before spending the money on a nice one.

Pretty sure someone in the Baton Rouge area is now missing a PlayStation..

Tetons alternative and Yellowstone

Posted by cryptkeeper on 2/25/25 at 1:57 pm
We have a cabin booked for 4 nights in June in between Cody and Yellowstone park entrance. We have two nights prior to arriving there that we were looking at spending in Jackson Hole and seeing the Tetons. However, the lodging cost has us second guessing this decision. What would be an alternative to spending two days/nights prior to arriving in Cody? We will be coming up from Amarillo, TX by car. Thanks.
What’s even more stupid is some of the grown “adults” defending these morons on rants and raves.
So there is already chatter about another big system coming through Louisiana around 2/6. Any of the weather experts here know anything about this?
I turned 45 this past summer and my doctor recommended the cologuard….I ended up doing it right before Christmas. Came back negative and I believe you are supposed to follow up with another test in 3 years if I read it correctly. I will probably do the colonoscopy at that time just to be on the safe side.

I want say thanks to everyone who started and has kept this thread going. If nothing else, by keeping it on the first page for an extended time it served as a reminder to do it and helped put my mind at ease when the time came.
So I guess we won’t be seeing any snow around Baton Rouge? A few days ago it looked like we might see a little but the temps look higher now Thursday night.

Probably a really good idea lol

Looks like I’m going to be searching out a tractor now.

Thank you all for the advice. The only very heavy lifting will be round bales of hay and that is not every month as well don’t have that many cattle. Sounds like the tractor may be the safer bet.

Thanks. That’s my concern with my budget is that I’m going to end up getting junk.

I’m looking for something older and used.

Not opposed to that either….skid steer just looks like it’s more fun to operate.
