Growing up I suffered more injuries from tubing than all of my other teenage activities combined. However, my dad was an idiot and 12-13 year old me thought nothing of flying off a tube doing cartwheels and rupturing eardrums. My kids know when they go with other people not to ride if they are wild. However, I’m sure they probably do just like I would have.

We go through VRBO for our rentals pretty much 100%. The house we rented last year was probably .25 mile past Blind Pass on the water with a dock, kayaks, pool, etc. The condo we rent is pretty close to Jerry’s. We are looking to buy a house out near Blind Pass and Bowman’s Beach.
There are several condo complexes on Sanibel that will have similar amenities to South Seas although not quite the same. Pointe Santo is one that has a lot going on including daily activities for the kids. It’s too big for us, but it is quite popular in the rental market based on the condos we have looked at. There are several others that have onsite kids activities as well although none will have the same style pool setup.
Wife and kids are probably going to start spending the summers down there and putting the kids in Sea School for a couple of weeks. If you need to keep kids busy, it’s the ultimate kids beach activities group.

We start outside the wake too and ride back into it, but I don’t have one of them new fangled adjustable wake boats (unless you count moving people around as adjustable.)

Be careful out there. A family I know through some other people lost there son today when someone was pulling him on a tube and swung him into a dock. I can’t even begin to imagine what goes through your head as it is happening.
We were out last weekend and the sheer number of stupid people on the water seemed to be up over prior years. We had to keep a constant eye out while our kids were in the water and finally just gave up and left.

Undercover Ultraflex is the only way to go. It is completely flush mount and waterproof. It’s pouring right now and I can walk out and there will not be a drop of water in the bed. If the tailgate is locked you can’t access it, it folds up and locks down if you want it partially open, and you can fold it up against the back window and lock it in if you need the full bed open.

You could have just put the trash out while she was running since you had time.
Based on the fact she is running for an hour you should probably go schedule 1 hour consults with all of the local female divorce attorneys. She’s getting in shape for someone.

Wife was meeting up with some friends for supper at 7:15. She texts me at 7:23 that she just got there, no one else is there and should she get a table or wait. I told I would go to the bar and order a few beers because she still had a wait ahead of her if my experience with women’s timeliness were accurate. There has been no response for some reason.

Just buy groceries at Jerry’s and pay the premium.
We did a couple of things on Sanibel for the first time this trip that the kids enjoyed. There is a shelling trip that runs out of Captiva to the south end of Cayo Costa. It is much more narrow than the north end and there were fewer people. You can snorkel near the pass and find stuff you can’t find anywhere else.
We also rented a pontoon in Tarpon Bay and took the kids out fishing. The boats are cheap and they rent you fishing gear too. I had my stuff but used their stuff for the kids. We went through 4 dozen shrimp and half a dozen crabs in 3 hours and they had a blast.

The Bubble Room is the Fudpuckers of Captiva for those familiar with Destin. It is strictly for the kids.Â
We spent two weeks down there at the end of May and the beginning of June. It’s still our favorite place to go and we’ll be back down at the end of July to narrow down the house search.
I will say the northern end of Anna Maria Island is a great option. You get the beaches and water clarity of the panhandle with the low crowds and older Florida feel of Sanibel and other areas. I’m 100% done with 30A.

A million years ago, the very first person to almost run me off the road because she was busy yapping on this newfangled contraption called a "cell phone" was a good looking gal in Houston....behind the wheel of her Range Rover. The nature and character of Range Rover drivers has not improved.
Based on the wheels on my wife’s RR, I can vouch for the fact they can’t drive. However, that is nothing new with her and lines up with most other “hers” I come across.
She has a black friend though, so her character is fine.

 The cartoon is also baffling to me substantively. Is there a single piece of data anywhere that supports the thought that there is going to be a red wave?  Seems the only indications range from blue wave to hold serve.Â
Were there any data points at this point 2 years ago giving dipshit a chance of winning either? He has mastered the art of the “work” on a level that even Vince McMahon would be proud of.

And you agree that non-union members shouldn't be eligible to receive benefits negotiated by that union?
This is the piece that makes no sense. There is no way for non members not to receive some tangible benefit for union negotiated benefits.

I’m sending thoughts and prayers on Facebook and all other social media outlets since it is the in thing to do now.
Casting a vote for Bredesen and pushing as many people that way as I can.

JFC. She isnt radical. She's just young. She has the same platform as who she will replace. The "Bernie effect" in districts like hers isnt about radicalism. It's about not waiting for "your turn" even when your congressman shares your views.Â
Her platform is radical to an outsider looking in from a southern state but normal for that district. It also could be termed a radical shift going from the normal old white guy to young nonwhite female with a different work history than most.

I think he means per seat each way
Correct. Thanks for the info above. I’ll check booking through UR first.

The article is poorly written and makes some pretty out there representations on the effects. The tax law made 3 fringe benefits nondeductible to for profit entities which are qualified transportation benefits, qualified parking facilities, and on premise athletic facilities. Then it went further and said that nonprofits should be treated equally on those fringe benefits and pay UBIT on them. It is definitely an issue though, especially on the parking side in cities where private parking lots are the primary parking available and a fringe benefit is provided.

Just got DL trip partially booked for the second week in October. Looking at 3 days at DL, 1-2 days at Universal, and 2-3 days doing whatever else the kids want to do in LA. I’ve still got to figure out where it makes sense to stay or whether we stay at the Grand Californian a few nights and move North for the rest of the trip.
Hopefully that will permanently complete my Disney parental requirements after 5 trips in a little over 24 months covering all US Disney parks and both Universals. I did find out this week I have two work meetings in Orlando scheduled for this fall. I think I’m going to tell my wife they are somewhere else.

You can set up Mastercraft 205’s and Nautique 210’s to surf pretty easily. A few bags and people that can move around will create a surfable wake. You’re not going to get the huge wake you see on the newer boats, but we’ve surfed everything from early 90’s direct drive 205’s to new boats. I still prefer the multi use ability of the older boats over the new boats although I would recommend a vdrive over a direct drive.
Like everything it is all about budget and what you’re looking for.

My wife has decided she wants to go to the UK for our 20th anniversary/40th birthdays. I’m not a fan, but it is what it is. I’m points stupid, so tell me what steps I’m missing here. I’ve got a ton of Chase points, have an AA account, and BA has a direct flight to London from my local airport. Looking at the AA award chart it looks like business class seats are 57,500 miles. Is this whole process as simple as convert 230,000 UR points to AA and then use those to book the BA flights? Do you pick seats at booking like a normal flight or are they assigned later? My normal go to is just to pay for the seats and waste points on something stupid, but these things look to be $12k if I buy them so I may as well burn some points.

Lock thread. Blacklab wins again.
Don’t even get him started on websites.
A few years back I used to gamble football pretty heavily. I would play 50+ plays on college and every NFL game and had a lot of big ups and downs. I can’t even count the number of bad beats with big dollars on the line from stupid shit happening at the ends of college games. It’s part of the reason I quit playing.
However, the worst single loss I remember was on NE/TN in the snow several years ago. I had a friend that had played college ball with one of the TN DB’s. He texts him the morning of the game that both NE corners were going to be out and TN was playing okay that year and had a great practice. It was a double digit line, in the snow with no DB’s so I went 4 figures each on TN, the under, and an under/TN teaser figuring the absolute worst case was 1 out of 3. It ended up 59-0 with Vince Young and Kerry collins combining for no yards passing.

The most died in the wool R I know who actively supported Trump has moved to the middle in discussions lately. He sees the problems related to how far everything has moved over and has given up Fox News. There is still hope.

And by the way, I’m not certain because I don’t know you, but odds are that I’ve done more actual good with my own funds and time for blacks in the last 15 years for blacks than you’ve ever done or ever will do.  You kick my ass at internet virtue signaling.Â
Your self awareness is somewhat lacking.Â

You both can be wrong and right, but much like every other debate neither side actually reads and considers what the other side is saying.
Government backing has clearly influenced housing and college. Non government entities would still be involved if the government backed out, but things would look drastically different than they do now. That may not be such a bad thing.

Watched the first episode last weekend and haven’t really been interested in watching the next one. Based on the reviews above, I’ll give the next ones a shot this weekend.
