  1. Kick it’s ass. One of my partners son went through treatments for leukemia. It was a long road but he’s doing extremely well now.
  2. Ballast, they are working on dialing in their wake surfing wake.
  3. Hasn’t rained but 1-2 times since the end of May here, now we need 3 days with no rain to seal everything according to the tile guy this morning. Next 10 days, rain projected 5 out of 10 of those days. Doubt it rains a drop.
  4. What are the odds, lose 3 of 4 closers (2.5 really since Philly was a timeshare) on trade deadline day. That really fucked my limited chances on making some progress.
  5. Just for the record both of those options suck.
  6. If my tile gets sealed this week as planned, furniture can go in and we’re done. TV, hotspot, and mantle all should go in this week also.
  7. Either/or questions apparently can’t be taught to my wife. Even after 20+ years of me trying, she still can’t grasp the concept. Do you want me to put this in the kitchen or living room? Answer:Yes. Do you want pizza or something from home for supper? Answer: No. Am I picking the kids up or are you? Answer: Yes. I’ve had to retrain my brain to remember that she is answering the “or” part with no regard for the first choice. She apparently only processes the last thing heard which doesn’t surprise me. It annoys me to the point of trying not to even ask the question that way, but one still slips out occasionally.
  8. We don’t do a lot of BBQ because we don’t eat much red meat or pork. I use my BGE for whole chicken, Turkey breasts, the occasional pork chop cooked over low heat, chicken wings, etc. They all come out better than the oven. The grill gets used now for just seafood and vegetables (zucchini, squash, cauliflower, corn, etc). I cook more then than inside and rarely do anything that is traditional BBQ. Going to give pizza a shot next and see how that goes.
  9. I’ve never peeled garbanzo beans for hummus, add enough oil to get it smooth. I can’t say anyone has ever noticed or at least no one has said anything.
  10. To be fair those stats are skewed a lot by Hader getting rocked in back to back games 2 weeks ago. His ERA was in the mid 1’s up until he ga e up something like 8 runs in .1 innings.
  11. When I bought mine, it was take it or leave it. They didn’t care either way. It had also been on the lot for a little while and they still didn’t come off $1.
  12. Thanks for the post. We’re staying at the Lotte. Pizza and going to Little Italy are all I’ve heard from my two at this point. They aren’t high end restaurant teenagers so we’ll probably mix in a decent steakhouse, sandwich place, and shoot for smaller, local places after that. We ate at La Grande Boucherie when we were there in May and will probably end up back there I’m sure. Oldest is way over planning so we’re working with her on that. I would imagine we’ll hit the big things (museums, World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty, Central Park) and then go from there. She also has a college tour or two lined up so that will limit her sight seeing as well.
  13. Think you meant @HenryJames ,imo.
  14. Post up where you end up, we're going for 5 nights the first of October. My oldest is planning out her itinerary of all the things she wants to go see/do, so we have to fill in the food choices. We'll hit up pizza once/twice and then go from there.
  15. I need to stay out of this thread, I'm going to end up changing my mind on moving on to some other boat type and just add to the boat stable instead. I could talk wakeboard boats all day. I've had one in the garage for all but a year or so since I turned 20ish. I really screwed my back up last time I got on a skate, so I think I'm officially done with the board sports (I can't get into surfing) which kind of sucks to admit. I thought I could still ride it and not get hurt like on the wakeboard, but I couldn't help myself and got stupid on it. I'm back hunting a bay boat again, so we'll see what's next assuming I can sell this one.
  16. For me, it was my mid/late 90's 205's with bags on either side of the motor, in the bow, and under the back seats. Tight, steep wake that was easy to clear and would absolutely launch you. No electronics, easy to work on, and you could buy them for next to nothing. Kids could eat cheetos, drink koolaid, dogs could jump all over the seats, I never cared what happened with them. I've had multiple mid 90's and never spent more than $15k or so on one. Buddy of mine just bought my X1 I had before buying this Nautique. I told him if he ever got rid of it I got first dibs. That was a great boat that used the early 2000's Xstar hull and did everything great, except surfing which is why I moved up. You had to just about sink it to get the back corner low enough to get a decent curl.
  17. It's all personal preference, there is no way in hell I would own a 26 foot wake boat or even a 24 for that matter. I prefer the more narrow width, the lower freeboard of the smaller boats, and the maneuverability of the smaller boats. If I was deadset on getting a 24/26, personally I would just buy a Cobalt R5/R7 Surf so I could just cruise around comfortably. If chop is a significant concern, the Cobalt will eat it up. For a wakeboard boat, Centurion's have always been the best for choppier conditions in my view at least in the little older hulls. Their deadrises and hull shape are great for chop.
  18. I have seen several rental places that rent wakeboard boats. Between them and the boat clubs, keep your head on a swivel out there.
  19. 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.
  20. Spice World minced garlic in the produce section. I use it most of the time now to save time.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Going to siphon votes from the Democrats like they always do and exacerbate the problem we currently have.
