ASUS machines work fine. The water is what ruined it

Yup. The food was better than I expected and I may have used my drink tickets.
I flat out suuuuucked at the “challenges”
Alive and kicking
Rain the last 2 mornings has been crazy. The flooding was about 2 miles from us. The water in the canal behind my mom’s house is pretty full but no flooding
Norman floods with a good rain so this wasn’t a surprise to the natives but that didn’t stop the idiots from trying to drive through 5 inches of water on the roads.
The severe weather went to the south of us thankfully but the lightning was crazy. Hail fell about a mile away from us.
Get a reprieve tonight and then tomorrow night/Friday morning we get the last round and then it’s 95 degrees and full sun for the next 7 days.
The lady friend did a long weekend in Memphis. I was alone, sipping a Hi5, and ended up spending almost $600 on paintball gear.
Guess I’m all in

I'm currently in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Very different to anywhere else I've been in America. Interesting and well worth a visit.

@Aussie Bruin you're more well traveled in this country than I am. Enjoy!

Love love that area, i just arrived home from a roadtrip across Nevada and Arizona.
If you have any questions about that NM area, please, i am more than willing to talk about, American south west is my greatest passion.
Thanks! I think that's often the way. There are many foreign tourists who will have seen more of Australia than I have.
One of the things the US really has going for it for travel is the variety. Every state/area is different.

I agree. When I was 16, my friend and I spent a summer going cross country on Gray Hound busses. We bought one round trip ticket to Silver City New Mexico and went down the east coast to Washington and Atlanta, then across to New Orleans, Houston and San Antonio. We went to Santa Fe and had friends in Silver City. Then we went up to Colorado Springs, and Denver, then back east through Des Moines, Chicago, Columbus and home.
Amazing trip, such different places and lifestyles.

Went out to run some errands on my lunch break and got a flat tire. Completely flat. Had to call AAA, then called 4 different tire shops before finding one that had tires that fit my car in stock, had it towed there and replaced the front two. $300 and 2 hours later I made it back to work. So that was my adventure for the day.
Thanks. We've actually today pushed north into southern Colorado. But we'll be back in the south west going to Arizona then Vegas next week. We saw a little of northern Nevada earlier in our trip too - Reno to Carson City and Lake Tahoe. Enjoyed that area - great scenery around the lake and mountains, and Virginia City still has all the trappings of an authentic wild west/frontier town. Lot of fun.
