  1. What do you want to do? If you want to charter big boats in the Carib with friends, then doing the ASA courses (up to bareboat cruising) will get you there. If you want to sail around the lake then take ASA 101 and buy a small boat or join a club. The ASA courses are good but nothing is better than time on the water.
  2. My son has gone through 2 walmart bikes in 3 months. Both with busted hubs on the rear wheel. I've been riding all my life, bmx and mountain, and I've never seen a hub lose its bearings. This is on my 10 yo sons bikes and he's not a big kid. Freaking insane what a pile of shit those walmart bikes are.

    Retiring on a ship.

    My wife and I have been planning to do this for 2 years now. Sold everything 6 months ago and bought a Manta 42 cat in SW Florida. Neither of us are boaters so we're taking our time learning and hope to leave the dock for good in the spring.
  4. I can sort of see the appeal of dividend companies for the olds. Did you look into moving him into a dividend fund/etf like Vanguard's VHDYX or VYM?
  5. Rendezvous is kind of it's own style in Memphis: grilled ribs with greek spices. I'm not a fan and only went when out of town guests had to go because they heard so many great things about it. Central BBQ is great but I don't know if they do dry rub. I also like One and Only BBQ and they have dry rub on their menu.
  6. A ketch rigged cat with daggerboards? Talk about a unique beast. I had to google that since most cats don't have boards and way less than that have ketch rigs. It's a Chris White Concept 63 https://www.chriswhitedesigns.com/concept-63 Badass.
  7. +1 for that $400 Honda mower. I bought a similar model 15 years ago. I treat it like shit and it just keeps on going.
