  1. Saw what?!?! A freaking year? Wow
  2. What was your match day like? Did you make it into any Spurs pubs? I always hang out in the back garden at No.8. Or did you just hang out at the stadium? Did you take the overground to WHL or one of the busses from Seven Sisters
  3. What do we think about this signing?
  4. All good pts. I'm not super worried about my son but his car has given him some problems. Im more for my daughter I dont want her stuck out at her soccer fields at 930 with a car that wont start. So Im going to sign up
  5. Bill Miller is the best chain BBQ restaurant that I know of. Price to value is pretty damn good. It's not easy to make that much BBQ for that many restaurants (77) and expect Texas Monthly quality BBQ.
  6. I have one teeen driver (18) and another on the way (15). Whats the benfit to AAA vs the towing coverage on your auto insurance?
  7. You has me confused with the Gallo pic. I thought I accidently clicked on the Guatemala thread

    RIP Chuy's

    Anyone who eats at Chuys will have no idea if the quality goes down or up
  9. Get the Aspire. Huge bonuse now. 175k. Silver and gold do nothing for you. I get upgraded all the time with diamond and you'll get double the pts per Hilton spend on the card 14x vs 7x. and as a diamond you get 100% bonus pts on top of the pts you earn on the acutal stay. Keep the card for 10 years and that qualifies you for lifetime diamond status. Throw in a $400 resort credit and a free night every year it will more than pay for its fee. And it also give you $50 qtr credit on your chosen airline.
  10. Just back after 9ish days. Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. Won't rehash. 3rd time visiting. Will not be my last 10/10
  11. You can always tell who the CR rookies are when they leave their shit on the treeline and head out to the water
  12. My sister has lived in st Pete for a year. Was just there a few weeks ago and plan on movimg there in a few years. Lots of fun spots. Hawkers Asian Green Bench Brewing And something sisters Brewing Brick and Mortar I liked all those
  13. Moving into the old A frame Whataburger left abandoned like 8 years ago. I drive by coming home from work and my daughters school pretty much daily
  14. Throw some thoughts and prayers up for the people of Belize. Looks like they might dodge the really bad stuff but all the Belize people/bars I follow on social media are shutting it down for a few days
  15. I have no idea what this is but it looks pretty tempting. My hotel just emailed this to me. SHould I do it?
  16. So in a crazy turn of events my son has decided he is not going to Japan. Typical 17 yr old decided last min that missing 8 days of work was too much and some people just dont enjoy being away from home for that long. Shouldnt make a huge difference in what I do but now will have a slightly more adult slant. Deos anyone know what those indoor float shows where the actors are dressed really cartoonish? Lots of lights and confetti, ,etc Its hard to describe. I screenshoted these from a YouTube video
  17. I was just wondering what happened to Rodon
  18. The low yen is so perfect for my trip in 10 days
  19. I'm in CA for a soccer tournament out in Norco but we went down to Hunnington Beach in between games. Fun place to eat and drink. Beach was packed last week because its hot AF in Southern CA right now. We're staying an extra day and headed down to Newport which I enjoy as well and its super close to SNA. That's all I got. Oh we ate at G's boathouse which was kind of fun. Oh and this house a block from PCH is $3mil
  20. Tale from the trail...TLDR got a spider bite on Wed when my right wrist brushed into a tall weed/bush on a trail Ive ridden hundreds of times. 30 hours later I'm in CA at an urgent clinic at 10pm getting antibiotic shot in the saddle to battle the likely MRSA infection and a 7 day supply of clindamycin. If you want to keep reading. Coming down a drop. Hit the bush and felt a really painful sting on my wrist/forearm. I wear long sleeves year round. Pulled over to see if ti was a bee stuck in my shirt. Noticed two small marks. Figured they were thorns. Pain subsided. Finsihed my ride. Went home and washed and disinfected. Thurs flygin to CA with my daughter for a showcase in LA area. Wrist is now swollen, hot and really red. Been around long enough to know this is more than thorns or bee sting. ONe of the soccer moms is a nurse. Had her come take a look at and shes like oh man you should go to the urgent like now. First one was closed so I almost went home but she texted me another place because she really wanted me to get meds. After an hour Dr. walks in and is like oh boy you need antibiotics now. He said if I had waited another day or two I'd most likely end up in the hospital battling a massive infection. This morning. HEat is gone. Redness is not going past the pen marks the doc made. Unfortunately I can not shoot webs from my wrist yet.
  21. Ironically I had a credit in Yen for like 6 years on uber because I couldnt find my Uber in the Roppongi chaos I remember the language barrier but didn't seem to have a huge problem with it
  22. We just redid our kids at the post office in SA. Paid a bunch of fees had had all of our documents being divorced it seemed like we had to have extra shit but maybe not. Paid for express since both are going international this summer (UK and Japan) Had them in 3 weeks. Since my son was within a few months of turning 18 they gave him a 10 year. Updated both of their GE accounts.,
  23. I booked this. Anyone want to throw out a good first night dinner in Osaka? We are staying near the Osaka Castle
  24. Scooter riders are the biggest squids on the road. Scooters easily do 50+ and more yet I see scooter riders wearing almost nothing. A crash at 50 is going to hurt just as bad on a scooter vs a Ninja 6R
  25. Whats that an electric or hybrid scooter? Update on new rider journey. My skill and confidence is growing by the day. Doing rides that Id be scard to do a few weeks ago. Im all over the city now. Been on some access/frontage roads but not quite ready to get on the highway and do highway speeds yet. Also have not ridden at night but thats going to end soon as I plan on going to a local meet up that require night riding but I can mostly avoid highway. Or are highways safer?
