Checking in.
Last Saturday squatted. Which I seldom do anymore because of my back. Felt a little stiffness in my left knee on Sunday. Not unusual since I've had surgery on that knee.
Monday rode my mtn bike. Overnight Monday my knee looked like it had a grapefruit in it. Figured it was just overuse. So I stared ice and anti-inflammatories. Not much help and the pain was excruciating.
My ortho buddy was in surgery that day so he got me into their walk in ortho.
PA took out 100cc. But wouldn't do an injection because the fluid didn't look right. And I was running a low grade fever. So infection was unlikely but they don't want to inject it if for some reason it actually is an infection. 800mg ibu and tramadol. Helped a little but it swelled right back up so any movement at all was so freaking painful. Little to no sleep these last 5 days. I kind of understand getting addicted to narcotics because I would have shot heroin for some pain relief.
Labs back last night. No infection but confirmed psuedogout.
Went back into walkin. Dr on duty drained another 100cc and steroid shot.
I feel like a new man this morning. Getting old sucks.
Bunch of fucking hypocrites actually. NBC, Men in blazers and everyone else has been sucking on Pep and Cities dick for the last 7 years when everyone knew they were cooking the books.
I've always just stayed near Palapa Bar. 6 times and I've either stayed at blue Tang or Tradewinds which is next door. Can walk to everything I need. Grocery. Sandy Toes. Crab races. Chicken drop. And everything in town. And Tino my fishing guide docks his boat Chuck and robbies. I also feel like you can give your teens free range in that area. I also like being 5 mins from the airport. Both coming and going. I think things are pretty quiet south and closer to some of the tougher parts of San Pedro. But I hear good things about Ramons Village. They seem to have their own set of bars and restaurants. North of the bridge is just too far from what I like to do. You can go as far as you are willing to. There just aren't a lot of restaurants etc But if you're goal is just to be around your group all good
They are the same owner. IMO the second location was always a notch or two below the original much like many second locations. It was just in a better part of town
I know it's cool to hate on mi tierra. Yes the food is average if you live in SA but it's on par with what is considered good tex mex in most other Texas cities. You'd be hard pressed to find a more tex mex experience ANYWHERE and the drinks are cold and the tourist love the panadería. It's the Salt Lick of Tex mex. The Dutch will love it
I would definitely add a Hilton card. You will get shit tons of Hilton pts with even moderate daily spending and 12x on Hilton.
Figure out what airline you are planning to fly to Italy and get their card hopefully with a pretty big bonus.
SWA card is terrible at spending. The only reason to have on IMO is for the bonus. Get bonus. Use miles. Close. Reopen in two years with bonus.
If you travel enough on non-SWA you might look at some kind of travel card but if you are using Hilton and an airline card that's probably going to suck up most of your day to day expenses. If the travel card you pick has a transfer relationship with your chosen airline you could use that bonus as well.
Both of these are not great bonuses based on past number but for example get the Delta Amex Gold with 60k and the AXP Plat with 80k and transfer those to Delta. Now you have 140k delta points. Which won't get you very far bout you get the point.
