  1. 21 mpg out that beast? I bet my wife could get at least 16. We just got a new vehicle for her (subaru ascent, we're a lesbian couple now), and she manages to get the EPA estimated city gas mileage out of it while mostly driving on the highway. Every time I get into it, the average gas mileage for that tank goes up considerably. Apparently she just hates the earth.

    If I was driving it, I’d be in the low teens for sure. Sport mode is a blast, it’s surprisingly quick. I just like my truck more.
  2. My wife wants a Bronco Sport. A fucking ugly, 3 cylinder dog that should get better gas mileage than it does. Fucking dumb.

    Mine got a four door full size in feb. so far so good, Got the big engine and getting 21mpg. It’s nice but I prefer my truck


    She’s wanted one since she was a teenager.

    Apparently we use way more forks than knives or spoons. We had 3 Sams sized boxes of asst cutlery in the cabinet and zero forks. While at Sams, wife tried to grab yet another box of assorted. I put it back on the shelf and grabbed the forks only box. It’s the small victories.

  4. Is taking out and putting robot in the pool every few days not a pain in the ass?

    As opposed to dealing with the pump, hose, and skimmer every time I’m cleaning it? Much faster and easier to drop in the robot and so far I think The pool has been cleaner that it’s ever been (pool is screened in so I have the ultra-fine filters and there is so much dirt being pulled out that I’ve never noticed).

    I justified not getting one for years because of the expense, liked doing it manually, etc. I’ll admit, it is a lot of money and a lot of people do just fine without them and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
  5. We have similar dimensions. Mine is 36X17. Couple of thoughts.
    1) Go 4-6 feet deep. 3.5 is too shallow. 
    2) Go saltwater
    4) Re: cleaner I can’t speak to the Aquavac but we lover our Maytronics Dolphin, which is highly recommended from TFP.
    3) Add more lights. I have the smaller LED color changing lights. We did 1 on the tanning ledge/first step, 3 in the pool directly across from the sheer descents and 1 in the spa. Picture for reference.

    Agree with pretty much all of this. Finally got tired of manually vacuuming and got the dolphin sigma. Why did I wait so long to get one of those!!!
  6. My wife likes to sleep in on the weekends, I’m totally down with it, she gets up super early during the week and it gives me quiet time to drink my coffee, etc.

    Last Saturday we had people over to make Christmas cookies. It’s chaotic but lots of fun. 10 am she gets up and is huffing around trying to clean, get things ready, etc. I always enjoy reminding her that is she got up with me she wouldn’t be so pressed for time.

    Any guesses as to how Christmas is going to go?

  7. I’m the one that usually cooks. When I go to the grocery store, I typically know what we have and buy whatever is needed to make complete meals for the week (I rarely buy junk food). My wife will just walk through the store and buy whatever looks good to her at the time so it’s a lot of random stuff and junk food. She can bring a carload of groceries home and it’s a challenge to figure out what kind of meals she wants me to make.

    A few weeks ago she decided to go on a diet plan. Like any husband that wants to stay in a calm marriage, I told her I supported her 100%. It’s basically high protein, low carbs and 6 meals a day (and it’s MLM). Someone she actually knows lost 100 lbs and with the way it’s set up, she’ll probably do well (it’s very detailed on what she can eat and she’s really sticking to it).

    So the day before she started, she spent 3 hours at the store getting all the food she can eat on this plan. She bought probably a months worth of perishables (half of which have already gone to the chickens) and my favorite part is she bought frozen cauliflower rice with veggies. Checked her plan, can’t have corn, so she picked it all out before she cooked it. After she cooked it, she realized it was a cauliflower and rice side dish instead of cauliflowered rice….. chickens got fed again.

    She boasted yesterday about how much money net she has saved by not ordering lunch at work. It doesn’t come close to how much she has spent on the plan.

    So she’s still going strong with the diet, down 22lbs. She’s been reducing the MLM stuff she buys since a lot of it you can find elsewhere cheaper…

    So this year she’s the volleyball booster president at daughters high school. Previous management did it for 8 years or so and didn’t really let anyone inside the operation (mostly because there were shananigans from what I saw looking at the books), so she’s been learning as she goes and doing a pretty good job.

    Needless to say, tons of deliveries to the house and all the empty boxes end up in the garage (nothing new about that). One of the first deliveries was shoes for the girls, I told her she needed to open them up and make sure they were what she ordered. Good thing, they were completely wrong. I told her she’ll need to do this with every delivery going forward because shit happens and after the shoes, she agreed. Fast forward to last night when she started going through stuff for the dig pink game tonight.

    Guess who has to run around town today to find stuff that she ordered and shows as delivered a few weeks ago…….

  8. You could just say “I made a dumb point” and this entire back and forth would be over. Ark just scored, still a two possession game. No cookies needed

    Jesus fucking Christ. How is 16 points a two possession game.

    I’m done. Obviously since nobody else is backing you up, you’re the town idiot.

    Arkansas is the lower tier of the SEC.

    They are beating you on offense and defense.
  9. Are you retarded? Fair question 

    Fair question. For two quarters of the game, Texas has scored ZERO points. Arkansas has scored 16.

    I like Texas, I like Texas joining the SEC. I think it’s a great thing for both Texas AND the SEC.

    Arkansas has been at the bottom of the SEC since the 90’s. They are rolling over Texas because they play competition instead of walking through the big 12.

    Prove me wrong.
  10. You haven't been around long enough to see 50 years of this shit, youngster.

    Alabama is a blip of being good for only 15 years, but you're too young to know that. Texas has dealt with this shit for more than 50 years.

    Lol. Not a youngster old man. Outside of cash flow, Texas hasn’t been dominant since the early 2000’s.

    Nice try

  11. Yeah, but piggy thought they could just show up and beat Rice. They were looking ahead to the Texas game, as usual.

    Every team in our conference plays like shit the game before they play us. We're always their Super Bowl.

    Fuck piggy, Fuck the Irate8!

    Piggy is kicking your ass. Alabama is everyone’s Super Bowl, Texas hasn’t been that in 20 years now

  12. Quick, informal survey:

    If you have a garage, how much of it / what % is actually functional as a garage vs. has crap / household whatevers in it?

    If discussing, 1 car... 2 car... 2 car single door with a separate 1 or 2 car setup, etc.

    2 gar garage. 20x20 with Air handler, water heater, well pressure tank, washer, and dryer along the rear wall. Not much hope in parking a car in there to begin with.

    Next house will be built to what we want.
