  1. Agreed. The global fish market system allows you to have fresh fish (aka flash frozen) almost anywhere with a fairly major airport. The idea that a restaurant is spending time and resources to get fish off the dock is probably pretty low. The days of "distance from the coast" as a sign of fresh fish I think it pretty far gone these days.
  2. Any trip back from Padre Island cerca 1980's saw my dad stop at every one of these damn vans for the best price for mediums and a few jumbos. If we were lucky he'd pick one of us to leave the station wagon and watch the magic happen
  3. I have not, nor will ever knowingly buy any seafood from SE Asia after watching a documentary about their practices. If its not Gulf shrimp no thanks
  4. I know it's just opening up in the last year thanks to El Presidente locking up all the gang members. My daughter is headed to England with baby momma to attend a soccer camp which happens to coincide with my sons 18th birthday. So I'm taking him to El Salvador with me. My son is not a fan of the beach but ATVs, zip lining, volcanos etc he would enjoy. Anyone been esp since they've cleaned it up?
  5. I'm lucky that I am the sole financial decision maker in my party of one. As far as I can tell the used market is pretty strong supply wise. The only reason I went new was I wanted the color. Otherwise something used woudl have been just fine
  6. That was a clear foul on Mads. Right in the back
  7. Um what. We scored first?
  8. How on God's green earth
  9. Buy a shit load of Delta gift cards and send them to family
  10. You don't deserve those points 😀 Buy a Delta gift card
  11. Well I dropped my bike today. At like 1mph. I used too much front brake when my bars were turned slightly stopping at a stop sign. I didn't get my bars straight before braking. Something to work on. A few scuffs on the muffler and front brake lever. Thats why Im practicing in my neighborhood for several months. In hindsight I should have bought a 2k used beater and learned on that. I will say the most annoying and honesty uncool thing is to be told by everyone who knows I got a bike is to tell me a story about someone they know who died etc. I know it's dangerous. I know the stats. This would be like me telling someone who told me their 16 yr old got a license. Oh hey your teen is 10x more likely to be injured or killed as a new driver.
  12. Instead of jamming this up with newbie shit maybe I shoild start a new thread for newbs info. Classes, gear, advice etc?
  13. Absolutely. I'm close to $700 in gear already. We will alao be taking advanced rider courses
  14. My soon to be 18 year old son is buying a bike. His mom and I begged him not to but even with financial dis-incentives he's going to be 18, has a job and free tuition so not much we can do. I could maybe push him off for a few years but eventually he is going to get one and be pissed off. So my choice was to fight him or join him and learn to ride safely and together. So add me to the motorcycle owner list. Took my class last Tues/Wed bought this Saturday. Finishing paperwork this afternoon. 2024 Kawasaki Eliminatore SE ABS. It's a 451. Looked like a perfect beginner bike. Matches my car
  15. What was Sichuan Garden called before? We used to go there all the time when I went out with coworkers many many years ago
  16. Agreed with the two above. Travel agents don't have access to secret cheap short connection flights
  17. Have a nice Saturday.. Garbage today
  18. That could have been much worse
