  1. Tampa king tides are the next two days with the peak king tide cycle in 2 weeks, pretty much worst case scenario for water volumes. Newest models suck for an area we consider more home than where we are currently. Offer fell through on a water front replacement for the house we sold on Sanibel, so that timing may have worked out as a positive for once.
  2. No change in options in the early order bank for ‘23, so just rolled it forward. Dealer thinks it should get built by Christmas. Stupid part is the hard top has been the main issue. I don’t want a hardtop, but you can’t opt out in the 2 door for some dumbass reason. Been looking at old ones now. May double down on stupid and see if I can find one that interests me.

    Have a client that bought $5,000 in Apple stock with an IRA contribution in the early 90’s. $18M when he died last year having never sold any.

    Getting old sucks

    I’m about ready to park my ass in an old folks home and ride out my days. Started PT today for herniated discs, shoulder surgery last week for a deltoid issue, elbow/hand surgery later next month for a nerve issue, and the hits keep coming. I told my wife last night I had to come up with some good stories to tell my future young girlfriends for the 5 substantial scars in 11 months after making it through 43 years unscathed. Anyone have some good hobby recommendations for a 44 year old going on 75 apparently that has had to give up water sports, golf, trail riding, etc?
  5. Same here, jt sent me this way many years ago on a question I had about something. That was a great board when it was active.
  6. All depends on what you want to spend. Nashville is an expensive place to stay now. Westin and JW Marriott for downtown, Thompson for the Gulch area, Kimpton for the Division St bars are all super nice hotels in good areas. Bourbon Steak, any of the M street restaurants, Biscuit Love, Southern Steak, Skull’s Rainbow Room, Puckett’s and a long list of other good restaurants. Broadway is worth a visit, but one night is more than enough.
  7. Agreed, the shoreline and the boats on docks are more important to me than which foot you want forward.
  8. If you’re surfing my boat, you’re surfing port side. I’ve never set up or offered to set up starboard.
  9. I have nothing left of my wall at the lake other than the posts because of people cruising the banks. It irritates the shit out of me more than anything else. If you are wakesurfing, the surf side needs to be towards the middle of the lake at least.
  10. The next time my wife uses an air fryer much less the gas stove and various other appliances will be pretty close to the first. This is one of the many questions I didn’t know to ask when I got married at 20. Luckily for us my mother raised me properly and passed along some kitchen skills.
  11. The sky is the limit. The kitchen is next on our contractor’s list and we’re $80k in with just the cabinetry and appliances. Hardwood and counters will be another chunk on top of that. My wife has a real knack for going with the absolute most expensive option she can find without even knowing what the prices are.
  12. This is surly, both of these things go hand in hand with everyone putting themselves out there on this site. There is always someone on the other side of the coin. For the record this one seems to have been turned up to 11 for whatever reason. Let’s get back to boats. I don’t have one so I’m not even sure why I’m here other than to live vicariously through others (at least those that keep their music at reasonable volume anyways, just kidding).
  13. You seem sensitive about the music comments. Do what you want. However, put me in the camp of not wanting to hear everyone else’s music while I’m on the water, at the beach, on the golf course, skiing, wherever I might be. if you’re out on your own, blast it until your heart is content. If you’re around people, turn it down.
  14. This kid is getting shit advice from a POS dad which isn’t that unheard of. However, the thing I missed somewhere is high school kids chasing out of state NIL deals because certain states allow it which seems dumb as hell. That seems like a horrible idea that is going to be overrun with piece of shit people.
  15. Interior speakers do not, tower speakers on the other hand are designed and set up to project sound. It is one thing I’ve never owned. Not a big music guy anyways, but I never wanted the extra weight on the tower and also did not want them in the way when moving around.
  16. Got word mine is a rollover to 2023. Order bank opens Thursday to edit, waiting to see if there is anything interesting to consider. Really need to just cancel it, but I’ll probably ride it out.
  17. Sweet, severely herniated L4 and L5, 2 months of PT and then reassess. Recommended a nerve block, but I’m going to pass on it for now and just deal with the pain. Getting old sucks.
  18. Shit, I really want to jump back in to lower my cost basis further. However, based on my history this year with stocks I read about on the internet, there is a high likelihood that will immediately lead to it cratering again.

    Forgot about that bit of fun as it’s become an annual routine at this point. I have to take heart rate medicine to keep it under a set level or it will race to the point of being really bad. After finally seeing a legit cardiologist he figured out I had a defect that cut off blood supply to the widow maker as my heart rate increased which exacerbated the problem. Legit best thing I’ve ever done medically was getting a referral to a cardio rather than just taking what my PCP prescribed.

    Wife had one removed a couple years ago. It was the size of a quarter. It took a while to fully heal because it was basically an open wound that couldn’t be closed. We both get checked out by the dermatologist every year now as it will likely be a continual problem. On the subject of getting old, I used to make fun of my dad when I was younger and he slowed down or couldn’t keep up. Shit, I don’t know that I can keep up with what he was doing in his 50’s at this point at 44. One elbow surgery down, another in a couple of months, potential back surgery in the interim, knees and ankles that take way too long to get functioning, my youthful idiocy has kicked me in the ass the last 2-3 years.
  21. This thread is my daily reminder never to put anything in email. I am legitimately curious about the emails our buddy Johnny has. I have zero doubt some of them are damning based on what I’ve heard at the table of both industries over the years.
  22. If I’m spending $500, I would look at the CZ 612 and the Benelli Nova/Supernova and see which fits you better. The 612 is annually one of the top selling pumps out there because you get quite a but for your money. You could also potentially catch an A300 if you go a little past the $500 mark and keep an eye out or buy a used one.
  23. I’ve been in survivor pools for a long time including a couple that pay out $500k+ and I’ve never seen a weekend like this with so many big favorites losing. I think the biggest one I’m in is probably 80% out. Should have bought something a little more fun than a shitty two days of football with that stack of cash.

    NFL Week 1

    That was an incredibly piss poor bunch of coaching there. Who plays for a 64 yard FG try? F-ing idiots.
  25. That was painful. Bought back into my big pools and rolled with Denver. That was an expensive f-ing weekend.
