  1. Scroll up, just a few posts is all it takes. Local Ole Miss boosters are worried, but not surprised. Lane has been huge to them as it finally got the school in the National discussion. They aren’t looking for NC’s, just relevance and a big win every once in a while.
  2. I really well done stained tongue in groove ceiling works perfect for outdoor setups. Every time I go outside I end up just standing around looking at it. This isn’t the greatest picture of ours, but you get the idea.
  3. What’s the highest value WR that would be a fair trade for either Josh Allen or Fields. My WR’s are garbage (currently Sutton, Mooney, and Lazard) and it’s time to get one solid WR for one of the QB’s. I could also throw in a James Conner or Jamaal Williams if it moved the needle to a tier 1 receiver. Guy with the worst QB is currently starting Olave, Hopkins, Diggs, and K Allen. Next worst is starting Adams, Higgins, and Jefferson.
  4. The whole Vandy area is nice, but there is nothing amazing about their stadium or their team by any means. It is far enough down West End that it’s not really connected to downtown, but it’s an easy walk across campus to/from the Division St bars, Hattie B’s, etc.
  5. We tried going back against the warranty on ours and never got anywhere. I had roughly $30k in railings on a large deck and two large sets of stairs and the top rail faded down quickly and did not hold up. We used their cable system for the middle portion (not sure what it’s called) and it was great, but the top rail would not hold up to the sun. The decking material held up great and was easy to maintain, it just felt like the surface of the sun mid day in July. I think a lighter color would have been better though.
  6. Depends on which composite selection you go with. For the lower end that would probably cover it. We did Trex on a large project and one problem we had is it was hot in direct sunlight. You were not going to walk outside in the day without shoes which also was a problem for the dogs going out. It was in South FL and we probably should have gone a much lighter color, but it was miserable. The railings also did not hold up well and looked rough 12 months in.
  7. It’s one of those things that was preventable and should have been better planned out. It has also not gone over very well locally. Ultimately, water was something people were not prepared for.
  8. Yeah, makes zero sense. They moved them to the trailer park that sits basically at sea level where the people lived that cared for them. All of them including the ones that were displayed at the park were lost. So much was lost that it is what it is, but it’s a sad deal. Several of the birds had been on display there for the 20+ years we have been going. Went down last week and the whole thing is pretty tough. The entire island has pretty well been washed/blown out. Pictures don’t do it justice. A few things are back open, but who knows what it looks like 12 months from now. Due to the fact they didn’t allow chains, it will take years for the restaurants/shops to recover. Most were owned by people on the island that owned multiple spots and had everything tied up locally that was destroyed. We have talked to several that may not reopen that are long-term staples. F-ing sucks because of how interconnected everything was. Makes recovery hard. We’re back looking at houses now trying to decide whether to go ahead and jump back in.
  9. Checks notes, 28 points against GB is 9-1 this year. Dallas did Dallas things like Dallas always does. The offense did enough to win for 3 quarters, played passive in the 4th and the defense let it slide away.
  10. Pulled the plug on my Surlyhorns investment portfolio. Decided to harvest some losses to offset some some property deals. Someone send up the bat signal if anything starts looking promising.
  11. Sitting in Naples at the moment with a flight out Wednesday afternoon. Debating whether to try and get that moved up earlier that day or let it ride and hope windy conditions don’t cause problems.
  12. RIP Coy Gibbs, Joe has had a pretty terrible run to have to bury both his sons. After everything at the beginning of the week and then with it ending this way is tough/

    Getting old sucks

    I’ve had 4 of them in the last 5 months (wife goes for 2nd in the last 6 weeks tomorrow), I think my ortho doc is trying to get me to cover his private school tuition for him. I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Morton’s Neuroma for finding its way into my life. Working on getting another surgery scheduled before year end since I’m well past my deductible at this point. Thought I had a foot sprain that wouldn’t heal, nope just another f-d up nerve issue causing problems.
  14. Physical Therapy made a world of difference with my back issues. Between the herniated discs and some compression issues on several nerves, I was nonfunctional for several weeks. They put me on a 45 minute a day regimen of stretches and core exercises and I feel a ton better.
  15. Good plan, this state’s f-d at this point especially with the addition of the people that are moving in every day. We’re doubling down on political tendencies. As soon as our youngest graduates, we’re moving on.
  16. Looked at a Nardo Gray one on the lot today. They have a tentative deal and deposit on it but are going to let me know if it falls through. They also have a blue one on a truck now that is not sold if you want blue. He thought it would be here in the next few days. It’s pretty stout. Drove the other 3 I’ve been looking at. I may end up leaning towards the S6 as many miles as I drive. Looked at an SQ8 also but it was sold as well with no others coming in.
  17. Our kids have been traveling with us since they were little. We take a short trip or two a year without them, but for the most part they have always gone. Get them into the habits early and life is much easier as they get older. We took them on planes, made several long trips a year by car (probably the best thing we did because it’s never been an issue hopping in a car for an 8 hour ride), took them to restaurants including nicer ones, etc and have had zero issues even through the toddler years. They could navigate airports by themselves as early teenagers and had flown by themselves at that point. The parents that avoid it are the ones that have little shits the rest of their youth that they can’t go anywhere with. We are also not doting parents by any stretch. We can’t wait for them to move out, having a driver is awesome because her sister is her problem, etc. We did want them to see things with us and be able to travel as they got older and not be the kids / young adults that everyone looks at funny because they are being assholes though.
  18. Chicago for me if Denver is out. Nowhere else on that list sounds interesting in the least bit. We go several times a year and prefer it over NYC and the other big cities. We’ve toyed with the idea of buying a condo downtown and spending the summers there after getting out of south Florida, but I can’t decide. What about some of the California areas?
  19. I was at Audi Littleton yesterday. They do not have an RS6 in stock. https://www.audidenver.com/used/Audi/2021-Audi-RS+6+Avant-98250d390a0e0a9344656a414aee3e73.htm May just not have updated their website. It was on one of the car gurus or auto trader sites where I saw it originally. I was looking for a gray and there are only a few.
  20. Yeah, I've only been able to sit in one and start it up. I know pretty well how it will drive, but i still want to drive one. Maybe I'll find a used one for sale here. I was looking through all the used ones earlier and there is one at Audi Denver in Littleton. It is a 2021 Daytona Gray. There are quite a few around me, but I did see that one out your way.
  21. No, they had one getting ready to be picked up when I stopped by. He is supposed to let me know the timing on the two they have that aren’t spoken for the first of the week.
  22. I’m pretty well looking at everything I can think of. Looked at a used Tesla so laid today with virtually no miles in it. They also had a GTR in the lot but it was stupid price wise.
  23. I'm getting very impatient waiting for mine. Went and looked at one yesterday along with an S6 and an RS7. They are going to bring an Etron GT by later this week for me to look at. Thinking of getting out of the F250 (and 20+ years of F150’s) and going a different direction, but can’t decide what I really want to drive every day. I have a hold on a Denali Ultimate in case I just decide to stick with the SUV/truck world.

    Getting old sucks

    Told my wife last night I needed to come up with some good stories to tell my next wife about the multitude of scars I’ve developed from various surgeries (go in for the 4th and 5th different cuts next week) over the last 12 months. My 43rd year on this planet has been a rough one in stuff catching up with me. Finish up first 6 weeks of PT on herniated disc issues next week and hopefully avoid surgery on that one. I’ve moved from can’t sit or stand for very long to able to get through the day with just general soreness. It’s going to cost me some hobbies and I think I’m going to have to give up my truck and move to some old person vehicle that rides better, but that sounds better than back surgery. Fun times, but it could be worse.
  25. My wife watches all the stupid shit that Bravo puts out. I was standing in the living room last night while one was on and one of the ladies professions was Metaverse Entrepreneur and another was Metaverse something or another. I just shook my head and watched my investment continue to slide.
