alright project toxic closet is done. mold gone. junk stuffed back in there (after weeding out some junk). 2 bedrooms and the hallway smell like bleach now. even sprayed the walls with some stuff that's supposed to help prevent it from coming back.

I have a closet that did that, I cut out the door and screwed a grille over it.

i have duel doors and always leave at least 1 door open about 3". it helps, but i still have issues.
and when the room was painted (20 years ago now) we used some mold prevention additive in the paint. it helped but there's just no stopping it.

Nowadays, I typically shy away from Horizon Hobby/Tower Hobbies. For whatever reason, I went to check out Arrma and Team Losi Racing websites for info. I clicked on my saved bookmarks.... takes me straight to HH.

Here comes a d-bag first world problems rant about a family vacation...I'm sorry, have to get it out:

Got back from the beach Saturday night. Came home a day early because the rain and storms would not let up. We were able to go out on the beach once, on the first day. Out to the fishing pier once, for about an hour, between storms. We did a lot of eating at restaurants (all of our favorite spots are now terrible...who the hell overcooks steamed shrimp at a seafood restaurant NEXT TO THE ACTUAL OCEAN), shopping, and hit a couple indoor arcade type places for the kids. On Friday, the highway flooded out and we were literally stuck on the island with the only option for leaving being a ferry.... wife and I did two puzzles that day. It got to the point where I would sit out on the balcony and wait for the rain to stop so I could go walk the dogs. As soon as we would get outside, it would start raining again. It felt like the trip was haunted.

This was our once yearly trip which usually consists of driving out on the beach and fishing all day, every day we're there. I've done this every summer since I was in my mom's womb in 1986.

I am not one of those dads who hates family vacations, but this one kicked my ass. I'm feeling like I may be burnt out on my home away from home.

When you need that time to recharge, and it ends up more stressful it sucks! Sorry about the weekend, we have had this happen to us, but the opposite. We went to the coast and for some reason there was a miserable heatwave. They are not set up for that kind of weather, few places have AC at the coast. it was not a good time.

the once mostly quiet home insulation place behind work that's been empty sense October now seems to be some kind of shipping hub. Friday it was empty. today its full of cars and metal carts being rolled around and people loading cars (mostly Tesla's and Priuses with the occasional mini van). and i can see why packages get delivered in the condition they do. toss on cart. wheel through bumpy concrete parking lot, toss on ground, "organize" into piles. force tetris into vehicle.

I was being attacked by horse flies and made a break for it.

It was all good until I went down a gravel path in the woods down a hill. ATVs use this trail, it's freshly dug up constantly with fist size stones.

Here's me, big hat, camera gear on, truck in one hand, transmitter in the other booking it out of there..then it happened. I stepped on one rock, I started to fall, I stepped on another, my body tells me were going down.

Like a 6'4" tree I try to land on the edge of the trail (grass). My shoulder lands there, thankfully.

I caught a one second clip of it too. "Ugghh boofffttt" just like upright, than sideways LOL

Two uniformed security officers pulled up at the dirt park this morning and informed me that motorized vehicles were not permitted and asked me to leave. How many BMX parks have security guards patrolling them? I think some buddy is really up tight.

Well. Vehicles haul people. So this is technically not a vehicle. That being said do they allow electric bikes? Probably a hall monitor tgat couldn't pass police training and waiting to pass the training for security gaurd. Time to sprinkle grass seed.

Sometimes you just can't run fast enough or in the right direction.

I agree! Security officers??? Were they in a car or were they on Huffy's too?

Did you see a badge or get the nane of the security co? Was one wearing a clown costume?

Because you are 1000% correct! Who hires security for a bmx park?
Do RCs really pose a threat to bmx track surfaces?

Just remember to bring a box of briberrrr... donuts next time and I'm sure you'll be fine.
