Dirty South Crew XX—Southern Belle’s and Holy Hell!

[Bando]

The hot wing sauce at Texas Roadhouse is straight up shizzle. I asked for some hot sauce to accompany my steak and Danielle brought out 3 kinds, including their house made hot wing sauce. One little dip and I was sweating. Asked for a lid for that chit to bring it home, she brought me another cup as well. Broiled some wangs tonight and tossed them in the TR sauce, 10/10 heat & flavor.

It's a shame they don't offer real wangs, just "boneless" chicken nuggets or whatever the hell those things are.

It was like a Monday from hell for me, wife hit a deer with car last night and I had a day business trip today. Alingment is off, one headlight not working, just roll on. Freaking windsheild washer was not working tho so driving in bright sun on the highway with a salt covered windsheild - not fun! Then battery died at McD's on the way home, no jumper cables FFS, not about to stand there hoping for a WK so went across the street to the auto parts store and grabbed a $130 jumpbox to start it.

Silver lining though, I've been wanting a good jump box for 15 years or more but don't like to spend money on myself. This fukr has like 2k cold crank amps and I feel zero guilt since it was kind of an emergency.

Dayum!!! I learned from my Dad to always keep jumper cables in my trunk. Had to use them a few times over the years. Needed them once to jump someone off at work and they had magically disappeared only to be found that evening in my sons truck. Go figure!

Mernin Dirties! Another crappy rainy day here. We have probably had 5 days in the past 2 months that it has not rained. On the upside... it is mid 60's here. Other down side... chance of severe weather. Come on spring time!!!

Yeah, I gotta good pair but they were in my other vehicle. I think I'm gonna secure the jumpbox in my spare tire wheel well somehow, I can see where it would come in more handy than cables in some situations.

Yes. I flew back in to ATL from a trip last year and my battery in my car was DEAD!!!! I had to track down a guy that worked there and he had a jump box. Started right up. Obviously parked in airport parking lot this was much easier than trying to push my car out into aisle to get it jumped off.

I came back from the Arnold one year with a rental car to my BMW at the airport parking lot, the BMW dies in like 3 days and it was maybe day 4 or 5. I thought I was all clever, brought the rental car into the lot, grabbed my cables from the BMW and for the life of me I could not find the fuking battery in that rental. It's no brag to consider myself an 8.4/10 roadside wrench jockey, but even Google would not tell me where the battery was. Ended up turning the key on the X5 and just before the clicking it roared to life under it's own power. Think I had 2 tall boys on the drive home chuckling about that.

Basically all situations.

Check the instructions, it probably says you are supposed to top off the charge every month or so, it's not completely a set-and-forget thing, which is one reason having good cables in the same vehicle is still a good idea.

Topping it off now. No mobile charging option which is a little disapointing. Worked at an auto plant for almost 2 years and we had one in our truck that was always on trickle charge. In that time I think there was maybe 2 vehicles it wouldn't start and we had to get out the cables and get some juice from the truck to raise the dead.

Is this a thing with BMW's. LOL! I was in my BMW when that happened. Had only been gone 4 days if I remember correctly. When I went to Vegas this month I was gone 4 days and came back and it was dead. New battery purchased not long ago. I guess if I go out of town and leave my car I need to get someone to crank my car so it won't be dead when I get back. Not much I can do about the airport scenario though.

There's a thing called a "battery brain" that you install on the battery terminals, has a remote. You get out, lock it, then use the battery brain remote to kill the car, no drains because the battery is basically disconnected. When you get back you wake it up, unlock it and off you go with same battery charge you parked with. About $70.

Long ass week DSC, looking forward to a tasty weekend, though I missed gym days during the week so will be in the gym rather than sleeping in.

TGIF DSC!!!

Yeah I missed several gym days due to a back injury - went to the chiropractor for the first time ever and was told to lay off the gym for a week. Guess I'll be doing double Sat/Sun morning workouts. I feel weak already.

[Bando]

Happy Taco Tuesday DSC. Knee MRI yesterday, hoping to get cleared for squats soon.

On that cut time now... no beers and no tacos. Le sigh!! Hope nothing serious with the knee Bando!

Ayye, I started in January last year, looked great in March and fat again before the beaches opened. Gonna start a bit later this year.

Cancun in middle of March so got to be on point! Plus I have a friend who is wanting to do a photo shoot of me in the gym. Told her let me get where I want to be and we will do it.

That's a slippery slope, even Mr. Olympia is probably never where he wants to be. I would set a target week, then bust your ass to be the best you've ever been and don't let yourself push that week back.

True! So very true. I am and always will be my hardest critic.

Good morning Dirties!! Happy Hump Day!!

Have a great weekend Dirties! Going to be a warm one here thank goodness!

[danap3681]

Morning Dirties!! Wonderful weekend we had here. Warm weather and shooting guns. Getting closer to crawfish time with every passing day!

[Bando]

Happy Taco Tuesday Dirties!!

Legs didn't died. Thinking of chest day today, need some new lifts.

Not a chest lift, but if you want a challenging new shoulders lift--try Pin Pressing. Been doing it for 10 weeks now (adjusting pin height every 4 weeks) and it is a killer.

Thinking I strained my lower lat yesterday whilst doing 1 arm rows. Not as much pain as yesterday but figure I better rest it today. Been doing some stretching and it is helping. Looks like cardio today. Ugh!
