Post up a reptile and I will ID that sucker PDQ! I hate bugs. I am fascinated by them but entomology was the most difficult part about studying zoology. I would like some help ID'ing this larvae. We have have had a huge outbreak of moths since the big rain storms and although the moths and...

Viewing the fishing thread and seeing the rag-tag groups down here this year, I thought maybe we could get some kind of team going for next year. I envision a BARF sponsored team with maximum GoPro coverage. The team could stay at my house for the duration or if people want to live a little...

This has nothing really to do with Twinkies, per se but since they can't sue me for libel, why not. Many posts in the past about some of these food movies: Forks over Knives, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, Food Matters, etc. I watched these as well as "the Gerson Miracle" and was sort of blown away...

I dragged a bunch of old guitar mags out of storage while in San Diego last week. Thought I would search the tabs for some obscure song to learn. All of the ads for ADA equipment reminded me of how much really great shit they put out. What did they do that caused them to go under? More...

Like every self proclaimed intellectual, I have read a bunch of Ayn Rand books. Perhaps because I was too young or more correctly, naive, I didn't fully understand the real meaning of her books. I just watched a documentary on Netflix about Atlas Shrugged and its philosophies. Damn that is some...

When I was in the Navy I took pictures of all the misspelled signs I saw. In case you don't know, the Navy is like Batman (the TV show) where EVERYTHING is labeled. Walking around here in Cabo, we see some funny stuff and I thought I would share some of them. These tacos may give you the...

I am out of my contact for our Androids in December and since I will be back in California in a few weeks, I thought I would take the opportunity to mail them to anyone interested. Both are almost 2 years old. Droid 2 Global-slight scuffing on bezel around screen. No other significant flaws...

With all of the KS activity about the election, sports and SEAL books, two topics in which I don't have much care or concern for and one of which I just gave up on trying to add any intelligence to, I thought I would write a post that shares my recent occupation and observations. After living...

Hey mods, how about we start suspending people that just make comments without being interested in the sale or even moderately hiding their trolling? Even though it is clearly posted in the rules for the grab bag, people still comment and even cock block sales, for no apparent reason...

Sure, you have heard of the guy at the CIA who had a fake Master's from the internet. You even have fake doctors here on BARF. Let me tell you why Mexico is a professionals dream. It is because you can become a "professional" with even less. Down here you can: Call yourself a chef and not know...

As I am starting to back into a nice groove at the gym, putting some muscle back on since my focus is no longer on being lighter for racing, I stopped for a bit of reflection yesterday. As I was walking through the gym I looked down in amazement that my feet were moving, one after the other...

You lot and your first world problem. Starbuck's ran out of soy milk. They stopped carrying Le FooFoo croissants at Costco....blah, blah, blah. As Los Cabos welcomes the G20 conference here this weekend, spending a gazillion pesos sprucing up the place for the world to see, I haven't had water...

How can a company with such a huge piece of an industry have so many problems with computers? Server overload, not enough band width, the list goes on and on. Its not like it is a cheap product. The hardware support is pretty good. I have rarely had a smooth log on to the results section of...

I used to hear all the talk about Mexicans and leaf blowers when I lived in California. Sure, I heard them here and there but never really paid attention. Then I started to notice their use. Man! Those dudes used them everywhere! Just like the person that runs their vacuum over some detritus on...

Anyone have an old Verizon phone with a serviceable battery lying around? I want to keep using Verizon but since my data and texting are too expensive here, I want to drop my data plan, which is required with my current Android. I actually need two phones, one for my GF as she has an Android...

I have been monitoring mylaps for T-Hill and it sure seems that people are being kinda slow. What is weird is some slow guys are putting in some of their best times. Is it conditions, new season jitters or what? On another note, good to see some guys that drifted off coming back into the AFM...

Can one of you wacked out geeks help me set up a VPN or whatever it is that makes my Playstation and PC look like they are in the US? I am sick of using my weak Spanish on websites and also getting the reduced, lame, outdated and subtitled Netflix service. There was an article in the paper down...

In a new post a BARFer suggest a book. Upon reviewing my memory from the last few years it occurred to me that many, many folks I have encountered don't read books at all (including eBooks you wise asses:twofinger). I was discussing books with a fellow sailor on my last deployment and attempted...

I see so much talk about the other guys in the RC but it almost seems like I am the only one taking notice of Tyler O'Hara. Is there something I am not getting? To me he has always been a polite, soft spoken dude who can ride the shit out of just about anything. Constant podiums in the XR1200...

I ran into Jesse Ventura at the Los Cabos airport. I remember that a few months back there was a thread about him becoming a Mexican citizen and that he lived in Mexico. Didn't know it was here. I would have loved to have sat down and had a beer with him and swapped sea stories but he seemed a...
