  1. "Shut up!"
  2. I don’t have experience with boats big enough to need autopilot. How exactly does it work? Do you just set it and it keeps you going in the same direction or course and the danger is you set it then fall asleep and hit something?
  3. We had a great trip last weekend. Arrived Friday around 11 am. Stayed at Soho House in Fulton Market area. Lunch at Little Goat Diner Friday then arch boat tour (very cool and well worth the time). Dinner at Next Friday evening. We did the multi course pre fixe and it was great. Wine pairings were really nice too. Saturday saw the Manet exhibit early then Duck Duck Goat for dim sum for lunch. Hung out at hotel until we headed to Wrigley mid afternoon. Dead & Co. at Wrigley Saturday night was awesome then to Lou Malnati's for pizza. We thought the Fulton Market are was a lot of fun. Great walking around people watching but a bit less touristy than down on Michigan etc. Soho House has a great rooftop bar and pool area. Can't wait to go back.
  4. many thanks!
  5. Hey doc - any thoughts on soho house v park Hyatt v peninsula? Love soho house in other cities but not as familiar with Fulton market area. Fun area to explore? Any other hotel recs for long weekend for our first time to city? Thanks!
  6. He mentioned Fixe in the OP so I assumed he was ok with anything within that general distance. My apologies.
  7. Ha! My rule is that anything under the MMH umbrella, while pricey, is generally very very good.
  8. Wrong. Lambert’s is great as long as you don’t treat it like a typical bbq place and think you have to order brisket or sausage. Apps and salads are great as is all the grilled stuff. Grilled quail, grilled tbone pork chop, whatever fish they have on the menu are all very good. The coffee rubbed ribeye is one of the best steaks in town. Sides are all very good too.

  10. Will be there in a few weeks for a long weekend. Want to stay in a cool place but most important is probably location - want a good walkable fun to explore area with a bunch of cool shit. Out of 4 seasons, Chicago athletic club, soho house, and park Hyatt which one is in best spot for having fun walking around? I’ve heard that particular park Hyatt is great. Any standout hotels unique to Chicago? We love soho house in other cities but it doesn’t seem like it’s in as active an area (as far as I can tell but don’t know for sure). Also any guidance on how far out you have to be to get a reservation at alinea? Any other recs for a great meal if only a few weeks away?
  11. Thought the characters’ endings minus bran were ok. Crazy thing to me was toward the end it was almost like a comedy or like they were fucking with us or something. The tone of the meeting where Tyrion picked bran and the way they all kind of kept looking around at each other with almost knowing smiles or smirks was bizarre. Same with the meeting after that with bron. Just so different from the way either of those situations would have been handled any other time during the show.
  12. Any recs for Barton hills area? In the hills and will be on a slant - have had people tell me that’ll make it more expensive and others tell me won’t really matter. Anyone know?
  13. We're in Barton Hills and have had it for at least a couple of years. I'd say it's slightly cheaper (was quite a bit cheaper but it's been gradually going up) and materially more reliable/faster internet than our previous Uverse. RC/interface for DVR etc is almost identical to Uverse.
  14. This was my thinking when I bought - basically wanted that one extra passenger option. But we very very rarely need that extra seat and getting in and out of third row is a beatdown
  15. Got a suburban a couple of months ago and love it but have one problem. Got second row bench but am really wishing we got captains. Can they be switched out? Really don't want to go to trouble of trading it in but would be willing to pay a bit for the switch just don't know if that's even possible.
  16. I had a Hutch and loved that bike (my buddies raced at the Brazosport track and I hung out as McDowell's all the time in LJ but my mother wouldn't let me race). It got stolen so I got a Robinson which I liked but not like that Hutch. I'd love to get a couple (one for me and one for my boy). Is Ebay the best place to look? Any other places you all know of?
  17. We're here now and have had a great time skiing the last few days. Very small mountain but only 30 minutes from town and not too crowded especially for spring break. Snow is great right now. Have also enjoyed Pasquale's for breakfast and foundation burger for quick after ski stop. Staying at inn at Loretta which is easy and convenient and relatively cheap. Love roaming around the plaza and other areas. Have done meow wolf in the past and loved it. Hoping to hit up brewery after skiing and 10000 waves soak tomorrow. Also did easy morning trip to national park with crazy coned rock structures. It's an easy hike for kids. Santa Fe is really a great kids town. Our 6 and 7 year old love it.
  18. At least it took a decade to get me.
  19. No he means he's amazed that you're such a fucking idiot. What's the difference? The Muslim side is a huge menacing photo of a young adult who is standing defiantly with a smirk on his face and looks like he's thinking about raping some kids. The other guy's photo is a sweet baby picture with his dad. The headline on the left dehumanizes the Muslim. The headline on the right frames the other guy as a sweet angelic child who took a wrong turn somewhere. The fonts and boldness are even different. I've probably been on these boards longer than you and have never posted anything other than travel stuff and questions on the occasional can you help me with this board. Your years and years worth of moronic shit posts finally drew me out. Also I've been wanting to ask forever. Do you really think the 99% of posters who think you're a fucking dumbass are wrong and you're right? You really think "none of the hundreds who have called me a complete idiot know what they're taking about. I'm right and all of them are wrong." If so holy shit that's crazy #1 to be so confident and #2 to be so wrong.
  20. Thanks!
  21. Is it sold out? Could I walk up and get 4? Don't care where the seats are.
  22. Yeah I like basil (just reg never had any other) but think of it as almost bourbon light. It's my office bourbon.
  23. We'll be at Wrigley but it'll be for a dead & co show. Very excited.
  24. They're telling me that with my leveling kit the 34's will just barely rub on the front wheel wells closest to the cab on a full turn. Discount guys are saying it's just barely that it's not a big deal at all. Any thoughts on this?
  25. Fwiw that's what the guys at discount talked me into this week. They claim best quality at most reasonable price but who knows. I think terra is more street then ridge all terrain then trail off-road. I ordered some ridges and some smaller wheels (selling the 22's I mentioned above). Supposed to be here in a few days.
