  1. I had this same experience in Venezuela regarding the “street” exchange rate. Also, don’t know if this is the case in Argentina but in some African countries a crisp brand new $100 bill brought a better exchange rate than any other denomination. Don’t bring old wrinkly notes.
  2. A buddy of mine broke his ankle falling off a set of rollers. They take some getting used to and skill. Never tried it myself.
  3. I've ridden on the road in traffic for 30+ years. You have to act like a car, pay careful attention to what the cars are doing around you, and yes, to turn left, check over your left shoulder, and when it's clear, move to the left turn lane.
  4. Well that sucks. Looks like Chinese batteries put it out. Is there any vehicle in the US that qualifies for the full $7500? Still like the Mach E though.
  5. Anybody have first hand experience with the Ford Mach E (electric Mustang crossover)? Thinking about this for my wife’s next vehicle now that the kids are gone. She just drives around suburban Houston and almost never more than 20-30 miles a day. I’m looking for the utility of a straight electric. Don’t like Elon and all his shenanigans, so am not seriously looking at Tesla. Like the idea of the federal rebate. Pros/cons? Seems like an electric fits our mission.
  6. Man, that's not funny and all. Can't imagine drinking a whole "box" of Black Box in one day. The headache the next morning can only be cured by more Black Box. Sorry for that, and the kids' experience.
  7. Ought to go over well.
  8. Old school hub and bulletproof wheel. Work of art really.
  9. FIFY: 83 was an aggy ass whipping. Rick McIvor holla.
  10. There are practical aspects to all the road cycling specific clothing items that once you’ve ridden a good distance over several hours, you will really appreciate those qualities, and you won’t go without after that. And you’ll get over the self consciousness feeling quickly. 90% of amateur road cyclists don’t have a perfectly trim shape like the pros. Nobody cares.
  11. Bookmarking this thread for potential June trip to include Yosemite and an Astros game.
  12. So is Bond a 1- year rental? What's his remaining eligibility? Size-wise seems similar to X Worthy.
  13. Jester has a certain early 60's Soviet architecture vibe (and smell) also.
  14. Sark seems to follow and embody the Saban leadership and accountability style which is great for our program. That’s a great foundation. Lets pay that man.
  15. Baller move. If anyone ever deserved to pull that, it's Saban. I'm sure it wasn't the first time it had been discussed at the AD level. There was probably an understood "let me know when it's time, and we'll be ready" from Greg Byrne.
