  1. My daughters are teenagers and they control the music, that may very well have something to do with it. I’m not sure One Direction or Taylor Swift are going to attract the ride a longs. Music is one place we have failed them as parents. They just listen to shit.
  2. I clearly ride on the wrong lakes based on your experiences versus mine. Maybe it’s the kids that are always with me that throws them off though.
  3. I would probably be in if you’re doing a hundred, dynasties can be more time consuming than redrafts.
  4. Anyone want to shoot me a first rounder for a couple undrafted guys? I may even throw in Gleybar for the right one.
  5. The problem with Parsons is that you just had two stud LB’s go in the 2nd after the Cowboys picked to the Giants and Browns. Either could easily be the top LB in the draft and they were sitting right there for the taking with a second.
  6. I enjoyed making the drive once, fly back from KW though if you can. Also, it doesn’t matter what you drive, you’re only doing 40-45 the whole way so a Mustang or something similar works fine.
  7. Just would have been ridiculous to not end up with anything out of that game. Jacob Degrom has opened up this year nasty. 50 k’s through 4 games and 1 ER.
  8. Pulling up the scoreboard and seeing the Cubs have 11 runs through 6 and then checking the stats to see Contreras is 0-3 with 2 K’s is rather disappointing.
  9. Her car, her deal. I’ll just make her drive the road trips and I’ll sleep.
  10. Super cruise was not available when “we“ bought the new Cadillac last month. It is hung up with the chip shortages and they were not sure when it was going to be available. I told my wife to wait until it was out as it was the main reason I was fine getting one because we run a lot of highway miles. She came home with a new one anyways.
  11. Probably, but when she asked why I wasn’t having side effects, the response “Because I’m awesome” seemed better at the time. We’ve been married long enough that being in the dog house occasionally isn’t a bad thing. I was already there for being in the middle of her and the kids argument over stupid shit, so might as well double down. Her birthday is this week, and I bought her jewelry. I’ll be clear by the weekend.
  12. Ended up having zero side effects from the second shot while my wife has been curled up on the couch since yesterday. I’m sure that has earned me dog house status, but I’ll take it.
  13. Based on posts I have seen here and other places, a sense of sadness for where we are as a country still.
  14. Screw factoring, it’s about like using a payday loan place as an individual. I understand their is a need for it, but it better be your last ditch only option before you go that direction. It’s hard to extract yourself from it and you also have to have solid margins just to float the cost which then brings the question of why you need factoring in the first place. Sure, it’s to cover the 60-90+ day float from buyers, but is that worth the double digit percentage cost? We just took two large clients out of factoring deals and back to traditional banking arrangements and to say it was difficult to find a bank that wanted to get involved is an understatement. Their factoring arrangements were like Scarlet A’s on their chest even though both had rock solid financials at this point.
  15. 3 of my top 8 draft picks are on IL with 1 of the other 5 being Gleybar who sucks balls this year and would be better served on IL. Another DTD popped up today, I could really use a few more bench spots. This short bench makes it difficult to make adjustments.
  16. Had no intentions of getting the shot any time soon, but had a client call out of the blue with extras so went ahead and did it. 2nd shots for both of us today, we’ll see what the next day or so bring I suppose.
  17. It got me thinking on some of the things we tried/did growing up. My dad was/is a dumbass, so he was always at the front of the line to try something. There should be a parasail setup in there somewhere still. You had to slow down half way down the lake to clear the TVA transmission lines that crossed. The lake police ended up ticketing us for using it and threatening to arrest him if they saw it again. We built a 3/4 or so sized jump and also a baby one that we would pull into a creek and hide it when not using it. We had skis and knee boards we would use on it that are probably still down there. A tube or two went over the baby one along with the stand up jet skis. I think most of the slalom course is still down there somewhere. It has been run on skis and wakeboards. That doesn’t even begin to get into the stupid stuff done on kneeboards, jet skis, etc.
  18. Not behind a wake boat, we did it behind my old Ebbtide. I never really liked it, so it didn’t last long and got relegated to the back of the basement. It was the old sitting style though. I can‘t imagine it will be any different behind a wake boat. You just have to pull at surf speeds and the wake typically flattens out behind the surf wave. I need to check the basement at the lake house sometime and see what all is in there. A lot of memories and some really stupid ideas more than likely.
  19. Wife got pissed at me this afternoon for not supporting her and always taking the kids side in their arguments. Oldest daughter then yelled at me for always taking my wife’s side in their arguments and not supporting them. This was all over a stupid ass argument they had at lunch over nothing. I grabbed extra beers and the dog and went outside for the remainder of the afternoon. A wife and 2 teenage daughters qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment for a week or so a month.
  20. 6 months after the hole was dug, we finally have water. Maybe 6 months from now, we’ll have some landscaping and the 18x40 covered patio/room/kitchen.
  21. They typically do not extend the extended deadline. I would think it’s still 10/15, but I have not looked.
  22. Simple solution, never ride in the back seat of your own vehicle. Who cares about other people back there. When my kids were little, I used to laugh at my wife doing carpool in her A5.
  23. Rosemary is much more private/quaint feeling than Siesta. Depending on kids ages, you will feel more comfortable turning them loose in Rosemary. Siesta is the busiest of all mentioned if you have to use public beach access. The main beach is massive, but you can stay further from there but you also lose the walk ability. I think you can take the trolley setup though. Rosemary felt too uppity for me, so we’ve only been once. I would rather get a house on AMI or Blue Mountain and have to drive to eat potentially. I’m not a big fan of other people so we’re always looking for low beach volume.
  24. Speaking of bench spots, I could use a couple more. This is getting ridiculous.
  25. I hate 5 IP, 1 ER games.
