I like to get on my bike and look for street art all over the country
Some areas are sketchy
Many are in alleys
No biggie
Street smart and I dress down

I just take pics and move on not taking notes
Here is one of my all time faves
All I remember is that it was a small town in NW oregon
I saw a couple smokers nearby taking a break
I asked about it
They said its been up for 2 years and they are still trying to figure it out
I like unique and edgy

Phoenix today

I don't even remember the drive so if there was construction, did not notice. I'm retired. I'm not in a hurry to get anywhere. Every drive is stress free because I could care less if stuck in traffic.
Here is a pic I took in Phoenix today. Teddy is one of my favorite Presidents

Atomic Testing Museum Las Vegas
There are a gazillion games out there
From the simplest dumbest games such as Bac
That take no intelligence to play, none
To games such as chess that intelligent people play
Too my surprise, saw my all time favorite game
Battleship.
Just kidding.
Sid Meiers Civilization is in the museum
How cool is that
I still play, version 5, still love it
Greatest game ever in my opinion

I love life outdoors be it the country or city
I couldn't spend a vacation indoors at a casino and hotel room
To me its not really living. Some love to take pics of food and money and chips.
Boring.
I love being outside exploring and seeing something unique which is picture worthy
I've spent over a year in the RV life exploring the big outdoors in this great country
Life is beautiful when you experience life outside

2. Not meant to be humiliating or insulting, just simple thoughts and factual interpretations and all in my opinion.
Here goes:
Why do you feel the need to indirectly pay homage to the Fantastic and Great MDawg with every single post you make? You seem to be thinking about him every time you post? The first few words at the beginning of EVERY SINGLE POST you make are supposed to be directed at him, no?
Also, why do you post things like

Mdawg
Yea, I think I remember him
Isn't he the guy that posted a pic that I personally took in his own thread
I found that kind of weird but then my pics are far more interesting
Also I believe Mdwag fan coachbelly made a post on this thread that I interpret as trolling
Quote: coachbelly
It's not that nobody believes you...it's that nobody cares.
Wise up
As too keeping it real, there is no doubt that some members consider certain threads as fiction
Thats fine
I just don't want anybody to think that my REAL adventures fall under the same category
What do you think of the Pics and stories
I'm having the time of my life on a trip of a lifetime
I worked hard my whole life to accomplish this
And
I'm in a sharing mood
I think everyone that is reading this thread is enjoying my real factual adventures
Nobody is getting suspended due to this thread
Its an asset to the forum
Your welcome

Quote: billryanThe next time you are making the drive from Vegas to Phoenix, or vice versa, may I suggest going via The Carefree Highway. It is one of the most scenic roads I've come across with giant Cacti lining the road. I think it is after, though it adds a few miles to the trip. It's a few miles south of Wickenburg and takes you to Rt 17.

I'll keep it in mind
All my credit cards are attached to Vegas that I pay off every month.
Got to hit it up on a regular basis to collect my rewards
No fiction, all facts
Gambling trip report.
Hmm, was this a demand or request from Marcus
Anyway
You want gambling, you got it
I used to use Caesars credit but they only give you 50% credit to gamble
So I mostly use MGM
I earned 450 bucks in points
Loaded all 450 points on a video poker machine
A little unlucky
Walked away with 400 dollars in cash
Thought about playing bac
But no
Lol
Spent it on food and entertainment
I still gamble but just to run points through a machine
Its fun
A chance at a Royal as I am collecting cash
Win win as opposed to losing at Bac
Heck, even the Dead spelled it correctly.

I 1st used this handle on old Prodigy network to write reviews of Grateful Dead concerts
The handle spelled correctly was taken
terapined was not taken
Stuck with it ever since on every board
Misspelled names and words generally not taken on any board for a handle.
Makes things easy when I sign up anywhere, never taken

I thought I just responded to "the Fantastic and Great"
color me surprised
Wow

Oh well
Different strokes for different folks
By the way, if anybody really likes my adventures, please refrain from calling me the Fantastic terapined or the Great terapined
terapined is fine but bare in mind the t is lower case

What do you want from me Mdawg?
Let's get REAL
Upset that nobody is taking you up on 10k
I consider it close to a scam. Surprised the Whiz let's you get away with it. Everybody knows a bac system does not work and everybody knows you will somehow walk away with the 20k. Its so fishy. It smells.
Thats why the recent response is no interest.

I am not MDawg I am MarcusClark66. Are you accusing me of being someone other than myself? Also, why are you accusing MDawg of orchestrating "close to a scam" and that he will "somehow walk away with the 20k." I am sure you realize how insulting that is to accuse him of scamming and that he will walk away with wager money.

How can you lose
I join you in agreeing that you win every session and bet

You win every session.

OK terapined and MarcusClark, let us indeed get real and cut to the chase. This thread is to be the adventures of terapined. You BOTH seem to be making it about MDawg. If you wish to discuss the adventures of MDawg, there is a thread for that.
It is pretty clear that terapined has a low opinion of MDawg and even suspects MarcusClark of being his alter-ego or sock. He is entitled to his opinions and beliefs. He is not entitled make insulting accusations without evidence.
Marcus has said how little he enjoys this thread. I again invite him to block the thread. Maybe someone else might want to block this thread, too.
I've started a discussion with my fellow moderators about this thread and this latest spat. I recommend that neither of you guys post in this thread until we have deliberated.

Not an Apple guy so did not take a pic of the Apple room and they had every single one
Did take this pic

The Apple][ was the first computer that I bought. I think I paid $2200 in 1984. I started programming on a mainframe but when I got the Apple it changed everything for me. Access to a computer 24 hours a day was enlightening. I am pretty sure that is when I officially became a nerd.

The Apple II changed my life too. My high school bought about 20 of them, replacing their old punch-card computer. I took their computer programming class and I knew after a few weeks then what I wanted to do for a living.
However, my father wouldn't spend the money on one and I had to settle for a Sinclair ZX81. Don't get me started with a rant about that PoS. However, for the $100 cost, you can't complain too much.
My bothers started to play games on the Apple II at friends houses and between the three of us, we wore my father down and he got one. I could program on it for hours, making simple programs to find prime numbers and such.
