    So... I came here to go inside this huge place... but there are so many people... huge line and crowd to get in... no distancing at all... So... I'm sitting here waiting for people to leave and maybe later I will try to get in...

    I hear loud music playing...
    There are hundreds of booths selling articles from northeast region of Brasil... typical food from that region... and I don't know what else .. don't remember coming here before...

    Hey Mr. @Shooter67 ... were you who asked me about the corn? Can't remember who was ..
    The answer is, the reason one can't find sweet corn in Brasil us because it's a "cultural" thing... it's not as easy to grow as the other corn... and people got used to the non sweet corn... but it does exist... just not easy to find... just like the unsweet corn in the US...
    Here is a picture of a vender selling corn... not sweet... they boil it with some salt and smear butter on top.

    Guess what... they stopped charging the entrance... Just showed my id and they let me enter for free.... I wonder if it's a "seniors free" thing... I don't think I look too old... No... they are letting everybody enter for free...

    This place is freakin HUGE... and there are tons and tons of booths... It's going to take more than one day to see them all...

    Do you do the individual wrap bales or the continuous wrap catapillar on the ground style. Is it worth the added cost?

    Most of my personal bests have been set late at night. I can't hit the gym in the morning and get a good lift in

    Yep. Was bucket squatting and suddenly realized that I couldn’t stand up without the shakey knees.

    Will have a difficult day at work Monday.

    Same here. I think its because our muscles are warmed up from being out and about all day vs being "cold" when you first wake up.

    That said I've been going early in the mornings before work a lot lately. Less people there than the early evenings and the ones that are there in the morning are there to get it done too, so they aren't clogging up the equipment while playing on their phones.

    @farmerjohn64 a 20in bar with 3/8 chain is 72 links. I forget what the 18in is. Maybe 64-66 somewhere in there

    And don't quote me on this but from memory i think 24in is 84 links. The 20in 72 sticks with me because the majority of chains i did were off the 20in bar
