  1. I have seen several rental places that rent wakeboard boats. Between them and the boat clubs, keep your head on a swivel out there.
  2. It all depends on how much money you want to spend and how many people you are planning on carrying around. All the big brands have entry level boats all the way up to loaded out $300k+ boats. The 24/26 are big boats especially if you are towing and storing, I’ve always been partial to the 21/22 foot boats because of ease of transport and you can still carry 8-10. They also better represent the old MC 205 and SANTE 210 which throw the best wakeboarding wakes of all time for my preference, steep transitions and narrow wake. The big boats are too wide. I’ve owned 10 or so Nautiques and Mastercrafts over the last 20+ years and it’s like the Ford/Chevy debate. They both do everything well, but they each have followings that think their brand preference is the best. If you’re going to be pulling tubes, I would look for a model without a back deck walk through that has a tow bar. They just don’t pull that well from the back tow hooks on a wake boat because of the wake size. Just listed my SAN 210 if you are looking at Nautiques and want a mint, low hour Nautique.
  3. Spice World minced garlic in the produce section. I use it most of the time now to save time.
  4. The $7500 credit has been in place since sometime around 2010. Early on people were using it for plug in street legal golf carts. Most of the EV manufacturers that got into electric early have already phased out of it as there was a 250k car limit. The new one is a double down to incentivize behavior just like they all are.
  5. Ours are converted from wood burning to gas logs. It wasn‘t much of an issue to get it done. However, you’re dealing with gas lines, pay a plumber to do the connections and test everything. Don’t screw around with gas.
  6. It should be her decision at least up to a point in time in my view just like it has been which is going to require federal legislation at this point.
  7. Feel free to read each of my posts above. My position on your first and second paragraph is crystal clear in multiple posts. On the last paragraph, I think I was clear in what you quoted. There is a line somewhere where outside of medical issues viability has to be considered. Treating it as a for/against issue isn’t going to work in whatever legislation hopefully comes to resolve this and protect the right. Even Roe took into account prenatal life in their decision.
  8. Going to siphon votes from the Democrats like they always do and exacerbate the problem we currently have.
  9. Abortion is and has always been a divided topic with a lot of variables. In it’s simplest form where is the line in the sand between the fetus rights and the mother’s rights? I assume we can all agree that a late term abortion is a problem although that does infringe on the mother‘s rights. I have zero interest in debating specifics because I don’t know where my line is, but to pretend that it’s entirely black/white is stupid.
  10. I typed out a couple things, but shit they all sound weird in the context of this discussion and not knowing you. Without going into details you don’t want to share, I am interested in the guidance that was given in what sounds like a situation with inherent risks. In certain states the conversations that have to be had before going into a pregnancy attempt where there are risks make you wonder what era we actually live in. Could my spouse or doctor face prosecution, death, disability, etc because of a gray area that results in inaction/hesitation? It’s fucking nuts.
  11. I read what he is saying as if a doctor makes a call that it‘s medically needed then so be it. I may not be reading that correctly though. I also think people on here get carried away with putting someone with a different belief in the most extreme box they can think of rather than realizing that some people may be on the other side of the issue but more to the middle than the extremist. Not everything is strictly for/against. Discussion/discourse used to be a useful tool of trying to work together.
  12. As the father of two daughters, it is about medical emergencies. I’m in a state with no out clause. As a father of two daughters, it’s about the 10 year old rape victim who’s doctor is now under investigation. As the father of two daughters, it’s about their right to make decisions that impact them being taken away from them. As I said earlier, I would consider myself pro life in principals of what I think, but pro choice in the way the laws should be written. I’m all for more counseling options, better adoption options, anything else that gives women a better option to go to term, but I’m not naive enough at this point to believe it should be forced upon anyone.
  13. You asked for scenarios, those are scenarios that doctors face where they are making medical decisions that are now dictated by ambiguous language in a law which is what everyone is f-Ing telling you is a problem. “Medical emergency” has no clear legal definition in Medical terminology including the definition used in the law. Also, based on what the AG has said in public, do you think he is going to take the doctor at his/her word that it was a medical emergency and move on? Doctor signed off, it’s good with me? Doesn’t feel like that is the case.
  14. TX has the heartbeat statute doesn’t it? I read that as a fetus without a heartbeat can be aborted although it’s not 100% clear because it say once a heartbeat is detected. Does that mean it’s off limits at that point or only while there is a heartbeat. TN for instance doesn’t have a medical emergency or heartbeat statute. Right now, any pregnancy termination here is illegal.
  15. Current OB’s are worried about future recruitment issues and how it is going to impact graduates and where they decide to practice. Maybe more clarity will be legislated in, but right now the unknown would make me think twice about practicing in the south.
  16. Go look at the Elizabeth Weller pregnancy issue that was made public. What happens when you have a nonviable pregnancy but the mothers life isn’t in immediate danger? Water breaks at 18 weeks, pregnancy has virtually zero chance of viability, mother isn’t dying today but doctors would end the pregnancy under any prior circumstance? What about a case where a mother is diagnosed with cancer and treatment is dangerous to an early term fetus? What about an older women that has an unplanned pregnancy that puts her in an extremely high risk situation where the doctor believes her life is in danger later in the pregnancy but is not today? What about a prenatal screening that shows the baby has Trisomy 13 or some other catastrophic early life death sentence? Should the mother have to carry to term, have the baby, all the while knowing the baby will not live to see 1 or likely end up stillborn? What qualifies as a medical emergency? Does the fact that it will become a medical emergency later in the pregnancy but isn’t today valid for terminating today?
  17. You keep saying that last sentence, but the only case it is allowed is if the mother’s life is in danger as I read it. There are other medical emergencies that would cause a doctor to terminate a pregnancy that aren’t allowable based on the law.
  18. I don’t know the numbers, but I do know the OB practices I work with deal with a number of medical emergencies that end in a terminated pregnancy and still born babies induced/born annually. They can’t even agree amongst themselves how to handle some of these situations now because our law here is any terminated pregnancy is an abortion (which is bullshit to call it that) and illegal based on how our law is written. I don’t know the details of your particular states law, but here it is black and white. Prosecutors in the larger districts have come out and said they will not prosecute, but it still has doctors in a no win situation on a medical issue. I don’t know that I would historically consider myself pro choice, but I don’t see how the cases like the 10 year old girl and all the others don’t make everyone realize that where we are is a bad situation.
  19. I tried the randy method and the jt method and both lists sucked.
  20. The books are worth a read if you like this genre. There are some other similar writers, but Greaney does a good job.
  21. Books get into it further, but his father was a SWAT trainer and ran a training academy that both sons worked in and ran training in. It wasn’t a random encounter with an inmate.
  22. Late mid year check in, I’m closing in on my college weight which was my goal when I started trying to drop a few pounds a year or so ago. Down close to 50 at this point from making some simple diet changes and walking every day. I can eat the same thing every day, so I pretty much eat the same breakfast and lunch almost every day and gave up a few things like bread/pasta/potato’s in the process. I’m going to see where my weight settles at some point before making any more significant changes. Refocused and made some adjustments in early June and have dropped 15 of it since then and still going.
  23. To be fair the pool and 2000 square feet of patios were done in about 5 months. The building has been the delayed part. It started 3-4 months after the pool finished and has been mostly done for 6+ months now, just waiting on floor and finishing items and parts for the gas lines. TN, rained once in 6 weeks since starting on putting out about 50 rolls of sod. He spread it out over 3 different installation times to help, but sprinklers have been running for the last month and a half. We are finishing up an addition, moving all drainage underground, and reshaping some areas also, so we have new sod all over the place.
  24. Travertine for the patio area finally showed up after 6 or so months. Looks like we’re finally in the home stretch almost 2 years after digging a hole. Hopefully inside a week or so we’ll be able to put out the furniture that’s been sitting in the garage for months, get the TV installed, and snap a somewhat completed project picture and be almost done with this phase. We’re still waiting on the shake shingles to replace the temp shingles, but that is what it is at this point.
  25. If your are looking on the Brooklyn side, we stayed at the Williamsburg in May and it was a nice hotel in a good location. It was a few blocks to the ferry and right off of Berry St where all the restaurants were at. The rooms were incredibly small, but we didn’t spend much time there. They have a nice pool area and a bar in an old water tower with great views of the City.
