  1. We did great wolf lodge for our 5 year olds. It was perfect. Close to cheap food, lots to do on site. Three days, two nights. Then continued on to hot springs Arkansas and went to their amusement park Magic Springs (coasters and water park combined) one day and the science museum the next. Not a bad summer trip if the point was to end up in Arkansas to see my folks.
  2. Wife wants to go to Hawaii....or any island beach. I’m thinking we will likely travel in the winter or spring. It’s just us. We are 40ish and open to some hikes or sight seeing but likely also a looking to schedule a massage and a lot of just taking in the sun on the beach. Even in the off months, 5-7 days to Hawaii starts at $3000. Is there a better option. I’d rather pay less in airfare and stay and more into the extras while we are there. Suggestions from the pros?

    Shit My Kid Says

    At the pool and my kid says “lions are mammals.” Me: Yep. They are. “I’m a mammal” Me: Yes you are. We all are. “You’re not a mammal. You don’t have any hair. You’re bald. “
  4. I know it’s a gimmick but I think this looks badass. I’m considering is despite already owning a couple Ps4s largely because I don’t have a pro model yet.
  5. Everyone knows no self respecting southerner uses instant grits.
  6. It can. This was an example, not every day.
  7. Carmax will offer just above auction if you are lucky. The dealer will offer less. Always sell on your own if you want to maximize profit if you have the time.
  8. People that plan meals all day. (Wakes up) What do you want for breakfast? (spends 20 minutes talking about what to eat for breakfast from eggs and bacon to French toast, to breakfast tacos and eventually decides on bacon and eggs) 30 minutes to make breakfast. 10 minutes eating breakfast. 5 minute break. What’s for lunch?
  9. I was tempted by YouTube tv but according to their website (and tell me if I’m wrong) no LHN (I enjoy the baseball) no ID and no HGTV (wife requires them).
  10. I love my Honda mower. Self propelled selectable speed. Mulch or bag. I almost went with a ryobi or ego mower as the battery stuff is good now. And if you aren’t careful gas can ruin a small motor now. I do have a ryobi 40v string trimmer. One charge will be enough to clean up the yard twice. The front attachment is eXpand-It compatible so all my attachments from my string trimmer (edger, limb saw, tiller, etc).
  11. We don’t like it. I’d like it gone. I don’t know if I trust someone to dig next to the house.
  12. This thing. I don’t like it. What’s the smartest strategy? Beavis and Butthead style cut near the bottom?
  13. You didn’t ask me but ill respond anyway. This setup works as I get access to both local and streaming channels but it isn’t ideal. I’m already irritated by switching between antenna and PS Vue streaming.
  14. I got suddenlink internet installed today. Speedtest shows >900mbs down 50mbs up in Pflugerville. Overkill, I get it. I am using a Netgear CM700 modem I bought then read reviews. Evidently it had some Intel Puma Chipset that has some design flaw according to the interwebs. Two issues: latency issue and DoS susceptibility. From what I’ve read, latency would be most evident in online gaming which I don’t do much. But I don’t what to hang on to something with known flaws. I’m not seeing any issues but I’ll probably replace it with the CM1000 (Broadcom chip) because it’ll always be in the back of my head.
  15. Two of the big rides were out of commission but since I was with kids under 6 it didn't affect me much.
  16. Agreed. I’ll know next time
  17. Eating at Last Chance Lakeside Cafe in HSV. Verdict to follow.
  18. Had to look it up http://mentalfloss.com/article/61552/what-vocal-fry There are podcasts I would listen to if other people did the voice. Stuff you missed in history class is one. Lore is another.
  19. Magic Springs today. Not that busy. Never waited for a ride. Kids had a good time but they were toast by 5pm. As far as dining, we ate at the Purple Cow (50s style diner) and their food was good enough. The shakes were really good.
  20. That’s debatable. In fact, it has been debated. It’s no serial.
