    Yeah, it should be interesting. Since (as of now) they are forecasting cloudy weather, I am sure there will be plenty of people trying to chase a clearer sky. I think when I get home I will have earned a good long nap, with no driving for a day or ten.:hair:

    I've had tourons ask what time the tide comes in, and they are surprised that I don't know because they think it comes in the same time every day, they also ask if it's a rule that all the fishermen have to park their boats in the same direction in the harbor.

    "Tourons", haven't heard that one for a while. Soooo appropriate. :yes:

    Sold $250 + of #12-#14 welding lenses today. I have 8 left, they'll be gone before noon tomorrow. Pretty crazy the way people are geared up for this.

    :rofl: :lol:

    This weekend, thousands of tourists will invade Wyoming. Dear Lord, help us.

    Here are the current odds for the stupid things those ‘tourons’ might do during their visit to the Cowboy State.

    Trampled by a bison: 10-1

    Gored by an elk: 15-1

    Mauled by a bear: 30-1

    Falling into a geothermal hot spring: 25-1

    Vandalizing a historic monument: 7-1

    Starting a fire: 3-1

    Attempting to ‘rescue’ an animal: 50-1

    Assault and battery with a selfie stick: 20-1

    Nude Streaking: 2-1

    Hospitalization due to a ‘bad trip': 5-1

    Get your bets in before the window closes and good luck, Wyoming. You’re gonna need it.

    Thats worse than here in oregon, it hasnt quite lived up to the hype. The bad thing here is we get the "rainbow family" types some of them will steal anything not nailed down.
