  1. When you said splurge, I didn’t know you meant a $23 bag of chips! But by the time I got to the 99 ranch, I was already all in. Damn tasty though!
  2. I appreciate that info! My dad actually bought it at a yard sale about 10 years ago and I want to say he paid about $2,000 for it. Never used it. So that $1,000-$1,500 range probably sounds about right.
  3. My dad has a Pitts and Spitts ultimate upright smoker. Maybe 15 years old and has been kept under a shed, not used much. He bought it used. It’s this one https://pittsandspitts.com/product/ultimate-upright-smoker-pit/ Will have to measure the size. Any idea how much I should ask for it? Not really finding anything online.
  4. We do like the van and have not had any issues with it up until now. We got the 2500 sprinter. I think it is around 20 feet in length. We purchased it in 2021 brand new from Georgetown Mercedes and then had it converted for camping. The fan for the a/c is making a little noise and of course it went out of warranty in August. We are having difficulty finding a local shop to service sprinter vans. Shops that service Mercedes, won’t work on the van. Dave’s ultimate automotive said they service them, but I don’t know if they are any good or not. Might need to check some local (Austin) sprinter forums too.
  5. Does anyone know of a repair shop that works on Mercedes sprinter vans in the Austin area? Trying to avoid taking it to the dealership as it is just out of warranty.
  6. From the Westlake Hills taking down some Christmas lights while trying to do a little work before 6:30 tonight. TEXAS!!!
  7. Ah yes, the pride of East Bernard. I think they were 2A back in my day.
  8. From a chilly Newark, DE. Spending Thanksgiving with the in-laws. FIGHT!
  9. My girlfriend and I took her 9 and 10 year old sons with us for two weeks back in July. They love Pokémon and had the time of their lives in Tokyo, especially Akihabara.
  10. Maybe I won’t be cruising in two weeks. https://cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/2024/09/royal-caribbean-cancels-cruise-onboard-icon-of-the-seas/
  11. Sailing on the Icon of the Seas the first week of Oct out of Miami. My girlfriend is a big cruiser and wanted to try this ship. Hopefully our time is better than the traveler in the article above!
  12. Just preventative. I have had acid reflux since my 20’s. I take omeprazole to control it and it does a great job. I had a preventative endoscopy 7 years ago and it was fine. I was due for my first preventative colonoscopy at 46. Even though my Dr didn’t recommend getting a second endoscopy this soon, I thought I might as well get it done anyway, since he would be doing the colonoscopy
  13. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Endoscopy results looked good. Had two benign polyps removed during the colonoscopy portion. Everything looked fine. Peed out of my butt for a few hours last night and again for a few hours this morning after the second round of bowel prep. Propofol had me sleeping like a baby during the procedure. Had a big lunch afterwards. I’d almost do it again just for funsies! 46 years old. I’d encourage everyone to get the screening done earlier rather than later.
  14. Yes, when I had it 7 years ago I was out. I know they gave me Propofol then. I’ll have anesthesia this time too.
  15. Starting my colonoscopy prep this morning for the procedure tomorrow. First timer. I went ahead and scheduled an endoscopy at the same time. I’ve always had acid reflux and had an endoscopy 7 years ago and everything was fine. Just thinking 2 birds, one stone here. Chicken broth and ensure clear for breakfast! I take the bowl prep at 5 pm. 🤞
  16. From the hills of Westlake Texas!!
  17. In the middle of our two weeks here in Japan. (Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo) been pretty hot but still enjoying our time here. Had a Kobe (A5) sirloin here in Kyoto last night at Mouriya. Kobe on the left, Wagyu on the right. Pretty, pretty good!
  18. I get there the 13th thru the 28th. First time in Asia. Looking forward to it!
  19. hmmm, better than Julio’s?
  20. May 2nd here
