Being primarily a lurker, I couldn’t resist chiming in here to say your brother sounds like he sucks. I smoke a prime rib each and every Christmas and it’s the highlight of my BBQ year. Every year. I would probably kick anyone out of my house that says they don’t like it smoked but that’s just me. They can enjoy their Christmas elsewhere.

Long time lurker of this thread for both dlatin's trip (absolutely amazing) and also the wakesurfer boat gang (of which I'm a member). Forgive me if this is thread hijacking but I almost never take my boat to other lakes as ours stays in our boat house year year round and, quite frankly, I've been too damn lazy to trailer it and take it anywhere since I can simply drop in with the push of a button. That being said, we are planning on venturing down to Austin to meet some family visiting for a few days next week. They're renting a house for the week in Round Rock and the wife wants to take them out on the water. I have not been out on Lake Travis nor Lake Austin in almost 25 yrs so I was looking for advice on best places/ramps to put the boat in the water, recs on going to Travis vs Austin, random thoughts and comments for someone unacquainted with these lakes knowing that our primary activity will be surfing. If it helps, we're a bunch of olds and we'll have kids that are 12-14 in age so not looking for the party scene. Thanks in advance for any advice. Oh and I know the rules. To keep this on topic, boat pics or GTFO.

Just logged on to say the same thing. No clue on how to record the game. Can record pre and pos game but not the game time slot from 7-10. Is this an atttv specific issue or is anyone else having this problem?

Long time lurker here but I've followed this thread since page 1. It feels like this is a full time job to keep up with all of these offers and to play the chess game correctly. It all just makes my brain hurt. Being Surly, I doubt anyone will take any pity on me and that's cool with me. However, I'm hoping a few of those that appear to be winning at this credit card game would consider helping an old and talk to me like I'm a five year old. My scenario is that my wife (no pics) and I currently have one Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select for personal and one Aadvantage CitiBusiness Select for business transactions (we are a small business owner). We have both cards tied to one AA member number so all miles are consolidated. We've had these cards for 20+ years and have never even considered another card out of sheer laziness to look around. However, I clearly see we are missing out on maximizing rewards. These two AAdvantage cards do nothing for us except offer 1 mile per $ spent. Currently, we charge all of our monthly personal expenses on our personal card, pay as much of our business expenses as we can on the business card and then pay off the balances at the end of each month. Thus, we currently have approx 1.2M AA miles. My goal at this time is to get a new business card in order to capture as many rewards as possible. Our goal is to complement all of the AA miles that we can use to fly with a card that will allow us the best opportunities for cheap and/or free hotel rooms/resorts. Our business expenses that we charge to our business card currently average about $20-30k per month. So I come to you assholes for advice. My questions are what would you do and what's the best way to maximize rewards? Should I open a new business card and have my wife apply separately as well? If we did that, can rewards be merged into one account?
