Well that was a close one
I was about to get it towed but tried the ignition one more time and it fired right up
Pretty sure it was some kind of faulty relay possibly affecting the fuel intake…never had a check engine light and it was running nice and cool. I just replaced my alternator and the battery is brand new. Very weird
On the south end of the strip now near South Point booking a room.
I took it nice and slow the last 90 miles, but we made it
good to be back its been over 8 years
so wait does this mean we arent all moving to baker?
Some people from out of the area don't know this, but Barstow and Baker, while often associated as the two notable stops on the second half of the SoCal to Vegas drive, are very different.
Barstow has a 25k population, takes up a good deal of space, and is a functioning city.
Baker is a shithole with 600 people, a bunch of fast food restaurants, and truck stop, and nothing off the main drag. Baker is a very frustrating place to break down because you can smell Vegas from there -- just 90 miles away -- but yet you're still too far to get reasonably towed. And the town sucks.
All hail Tyde's car ignition for giving him one last spark, and avoiding that fate. The only upside would be potential HOF stories which might spring from him having to spend the night there.
fucking ever talk about our city like that todge me and tine are gonna have a real problem with you
I had some semi-lol story from that Arby's, but it's been like 15-20 years and I forgot it. Sorry.Quote:

pretty sure i dont appreciate todger stadium's slander on l.wow's and my adoptive hometown.
its on sight when he pulls up
sorry, are you staying in your car to save money? for some reason i thought you were staying at bellagio.
I think the correct move would be to stake Tyde in some daily tournaments to get warmed up.
Maybe do 5-7 $100ish tourneys. See if he still has it.....then parlay that into a bracelet event.
i really dont understand staking someone hundreds/thousands of dollars but not spending $100 for a motel for them to get a good nights sleep in.

Let me get this straight, you drove to Vegas with $700 in your account, with failing eyesight and no plan for lodging outside one night? Why did you even bother going out there after 8 years anyway? I am going to be honest, my advice is to get a rag hotel with what you got left and wait for your check. Sell your car to a car lot, given used car inventories you would likely do very well. Then hop a commuter plane back to San Diego and uber it home. In other words cut your losses.
It is positively insane to drive back with one eye blind and failing eye sight in the other. You have a decent chance of killing yourself, someone else or both. Your only focus is to get your eyes fixed at this point. I mean, come on man what you did going to Vegas in your condition driving no less is insane. Actually the more insane thing is driving back 5 hours. You hit a kid on a bike your next stop is prison for a decade.
There are plenty of cars to re-buy down the road, but really you need to be Ubering for quite a while. Eye surgery takes a long time to recover from. This story is so crazy it almost sounds like a level. Do the right thing and hop on a plane back.
Tyde if you go to almost any auto parts store they have a tool that plugs into your car that'll read that check engine code for you. You mentioned end of the last video you wanted to do the right thing by your car so if it were me I'd start by checking codes and also checking the terminals on the battery to make sure they're fully tightened. Sometimes these can be very simple fixes. If you already knew to do this stuff and did it then what are the codes? Once you know what the code(s) are its probable it'll be a simple fix that you can do yourself and most of these parts stores will even let you borrow tools.
If you take the car to a shop you don't know to resolve this without doing your best to solve it yourself you might be spending more money than you need to.
You can't get stuck in Vegs with a broken down car and $350 to your name. I'm sure once the car issue is resolved you'll be a much better investment for the entries with your newly found peace of mind.
I do have some comps for rooms at the Nugget but they only have showers….no tubs.
LOL …..just busting your balls. Don’t go all apeshit. Good luck in your tourneys!
OBD tool (free) and the internet for $100. Tip the counter guy when you get the tool and he’ll prolly offer some help.Quote:

tyde claims he's raking in 10k a month at a sales job, renting an apt at $3k a month on the beach. BUT is broke, driving all the way to Vegas practically blind in hopes the ball tanning guy will stake him.
LOL
Yes my rent was just under 3K…$2750 to be exact. It was a month to month rental that was money well spent. It was a primo location a 3 minute walk to Carlsbad State Beach and very good for peace of mind.Quote:

I was sidetracked to make a spur of the moment drive to Las Vegas to play the Mystery Million, without that diversion, I would have headed north up the 101 the day after tomorrow. I did not plan this Vegas trip but was offered a stake and accepted.
Sorry to disappoint you but I am employed for a very well know national brand name company where I can easily make money remotely when I feel the urgency to do so.
Hope that clears everything up. I am now going to have a nice dinner and then get some rest before settling into some poker tomorrow
Now have a pleasant evening. I will pray a little later tonight and ask God not to give you AIDS
I feel somewhat stupid spending 10 minutes trying to give you legit advice earlier. Your story is riddled with inconsistencies.Quote:

In the video last night you just said you wanted to get back to San Diego, due to your eyes.
Then this morning you say you want to spend a couple weeks in Vegas
Then you say you effectively bolted San Diego and were heading up the 101, effectively blind. Anyone who has driven the 101 from Northern California into Oregon it is mountain after mountain and you would drive off a cliff with bad eyesight let alone nearly blind.
35 mile hike on the Oregon? You really think anyone believes that shit? Effectively blind, life long smoker, and you are just going to pound out 35 miles? What are you going to pitch a tent somewhere and cook to meat on a campfire?
You story is a rambling mess. In fact you sound like you are at the end of your mental rope.
Also, LOL anyone believing you were making a legit $10,000 a month 5 months after leaving rehab. I am not saying you did not get lucky a month or two hustling time shares over the phone but its not sustainable.
This really sounds like the old Tyde, leaving in the middle of the night end of month when rent is due, and taking off to play poker and trying to make a score. We all know why you cashed in your pension with huge penalties, its your sole source of income now.
Get your shit together and get a legit job, even if its staying in Vegas and waiting tables. Fuck man, after 30 years you should have enough evidence this shit just ain't working. There is nothing wrong Tyde to get a job with an hourly wage and getting an apartment with cable TV and living a non chaotic life.
Damn, let the man enjoy the trip and stakes without Debbie Downer.
He can deal with real life in a couple weeks.
Good luck and Godspeed!
Brother thank you for sharing your adventure with the community. We are all shocked to see the "Debbie Downers" attempting to lecture and "rain on the parade". Not something we are willing to tolerate!Quote:

Brother I would like to say I agree with the post above.
Brother I wanted to stake Dan Druff for one simple reason: I have heard he is a good poker player and I thought it was profitable.
Here's the deal pal, with your current set up I don't think a multi day WSOP event is your best chance to make a profit. These $1k events are multi-way, right?
Anyways, I agree with the simpdog, I think your best chance to hit a score is in one of the daily casino tournaments. Know of any good ones? I don't?
I think the odds of hitting something are far higher if you take a shot on a couple daily casino tournaments, as opposed to one WSOP $1k crapshoot with 5k people. Do they get 5k people? I am really not sure. What does one of these local events get? 100 people?
Brother the reality is if you don't have an ideal set up as far as accommodation and having some minor medical discomforts, its going to be tough to grind out 12 hour WSOP days. It diminishes your odds of success.
I think a daily tournament that wraps up start to finish in a couple hours might be our "bread and butter" here pal.
Let me know if you want to run some this week and what day and tournaments would work for you. I have never played in one in Vegas so I am completely unaware of the attractive options.
I'd be glad to start you on 3 $100 Daily Tournaments, the forum can decide how to split the profits pal!
Once you pick the events I can send to you or Druff via one of the payment apps.
You gotta be in it to win it glgl Tyde
And you never know im friendly with the kid who just finished 2nd in the Casino Employees Event- Hes been grinding in Vegas since moving there and getting a dealer job, so could play the $500 Employees Event
Got a chance, and a score 2nd in the $500 Casino Employee event for 45k+ hes got a job at the Casino so played the Casino Employees Event, be confident and don't let forum trolls get you off course.
I won’t stoop to Bottomsets level, nor will I waste a lot of time ‘authenticating’ my previous post, but I will say this much…
Money to me is a gigantic pain in the ass, and as far as I’m concerned, a necessary evil at best
I fail to see the problem with the idea of jumping in my car with a few hundred bucks and no hotel reservation snd rolling into Las Vegas with no particular agenda. I actual prefer being more carefree and just letting things unfold.
Since I phased out alcohol from my life, I’m basically bulletproof. I mean that nothing really bothers me anymore. If there is a bump in the road, I just shake it off and calmly evaluate the next move.
Perfect example was my car breaking down in the middle of the desert. It simply didn’t phase me in the least. In fact quite the opposite. Instead of being pissed off and agitated freaking out, I got my beach chair out of my trunk, sat in the shade, and was grateful I didn’t get stuck miles from the nearest exit. Complete reversal of what could have been a source of stress was turned intoba positive, and things just worked out
I realize that Bottomset is just baiting me, casting doubt on every word I post here. I mean the guy managed to turn my unexpected cash windfall from my old union into a depressing prophecy of imminent financial ruin
I’ll never apologize to anyone about my choices to live what might be characterized as a ‘nomadic’ lifestyle. I’ve been bouncing around the world since a few days after I graduated high school and have few regrets
My life is far from perfect, but I love my independence and being mobile. I’ve had financial ups and downs and thats OK. Whats most important to me is peace of mind, and the last year of my life had been amazing
Its just amazing to me to see these cretins pop in to shit all over me telling me what a broke, unhappy, homeless loser I am when in reality I’m content, employed, and living very well.
I am posting content and these Vegss updates for your entertainmen, and because its fun. Not to ‘prove’ anything or make wild made up claims based on a lie.
and I certainly don’t feel a sense of urgency to post pay stubs, or to spend an hour writing a lengthy post explaining how I have gone on at least a dozen long distance hiking trips over the course of my life.
Long story short, even if I was down to my last 5 bucks living on the street, I’d still have a smile on my face because I’m resilient, and have the ability to adapt to whatever curveballs life throws at me
Some people are just so unhappy with their mundane, boring 3 bedroom 2 bath lives, that the only way they can feel better about their miserable existence is to dump on others. I’m probably guilty if this myself in the past
That said, whatever happens in Vegas win or lose is just fine with me for better or worse. I’m happy to play some poker, and with a little run good might win some money. If not, I will head back to north county and resume’ my life.
Life is just one giant shit show anyway. I choose to take it all in stride and just enjoy the circus. I made it this far and couldn’t care less about the endorsement or approval from others
Knowingly driving effectively blind is not living a carefree lifestyle. It's being a reckless prick, not to yourself, but the rest of us on the road. I don't give a shit in all honestly if you cash a million in Vegas or become homeless. I just hope if you elect to drive blind again you don't crash into a minivan of kids. Hopefully you get your licensed revoked before you drive into some kid on a bike.Quote:

Let alone those on drugs or alcohol. I gave up bike riding due to the massive amount of alcohol containers on the side of the road.
My neighbors are near 90, he complains his wife drives with poor hearing, yet he doesn’t have any vision in one eye and poor in the other.
Always wear your seatbelt and constant act like someone is gonna hit you.
Mobility is freedom and most will not give it up.
OK so as far as poker and the WSOP is concerned…
really not necessary to go over my poker ability or results too much because my record on PokerStars speaks for itself. I’ve had 1st place finishes in at least a dozen large field MTTs with a career ROI in the 130% range. I doubt anyone on this forum would question my tournament experience
I’m already playing in Flight C tomorrow in the 1K Mystery Million
Truth is I haven’t taken a hard look at the schedule. I know there are countless options, but haven’t given it much thought past the 1K Mystery Million
For anyone interested in staking upcoming events, I think the Senior Event is a good option, maybe one of the upcoming 6max deepstack events, or the daily $250 which I believe runs throughout the series
I really have no concrete plans past the 1K tomorrow. After that I’m open to suggestions
I’m not soliciting a stake here, but some have expressed an interest for upcoming events and I’ve got nothing but time to spend the next couple of weeks taking some shots
Overall I think the best value has got to be the daily $250 which is low risk high reward. Looks like a win is hovering in the 35k range
I already miss Carlsbad and my morning beach walk, but if I have an opportunity to spend the next month grinding at the WSOP, I’m cool with that too
Wish me luck in the 1k tomorrow LFG
Bottomset you ignorant white trash miserable fuck
Hot news flash…my vehicle is parked at the Rio and I have no intention of driving. When I leave Vegas I’m going to pay someone to drive for me through California Rideshare. I intend to invest some of my imaginary savings to address my condition immediately. JFC why am I even wasting my time replying to you
Seriously can you please just drink some paint thinner and hot semen and choke on a giant bag of dicks. Go jump off the Golden Gate bridge or play marbles in the freeway. I’m done even responding to your depressing bullshit
go ahead and send me another private message again sucking my dick so I can not read a word of it you turd flushing drunk loser
Tyde, I will be there on 6/19 to 7/17 I will commit to putting you in two 1pm 250 daily’s at minimum. 50/50 split.
I believe one of those paid like 50 dimes last year.
Let me know if you still plan on being around then
GL tomorrow

PM me if you want, we can exchange contact info.
Probably a good time to start grinding hard every day and putting in some serious hours
