  1. The younger they are, bigger the age gap. There is a significant difference between (27 vs 18) and (37 vs 28). Heck, I dated a 21 year old when I was 17 for over 2 years. It was a great until we realized we really both were at different stages in life. It was a huge age gap and it didn’t surface for a couple of years. From my experience, here is my assessment : Probability of something bad happening in your situation is high. Probability of a long term healthy and stable relationship is low. Probability of something in between is well, in between
  2. Currently have a 7 year old Sony 1080p/60Hz. Looking at the Sony 55” A1E. But not sure I’ll like the picture $2500 better. Is it worth it? Most things we watch are streaming Netflix, Amazon, YouTube TV.
  3. By chance did you get an estimate for the back?
  4. In theory, this is correct. From my experience from replacing all shut offs with quarter turn ball valves in my house, I can say they will perform the same in the long run. I have valves that are less than 10 years old that won’t completely shut off. I learned that when I installed the bidet.
  5. I had Audio Mobile install a Pioneer head unit and backup camera a couple years back. It’s south off of Lamar. Victor is the owner and operator. Similar to you I got it for android auto and apple car play.
  6. I had a friend get his Titan done at Car Toyz with 2 tone leather and it cam out nice. I was thinking of doing the same for my F150. However I need to add a headrest to the middle seat in the back first. Anyone know of an auto custom shop that would weld one on to the frame? The seat doesn’t have slots for the headrest and the kids are now tall enough to where they should have one.
  7. I got something cheap on Amazon and use Torque Lite for the app. I’m not sure about intimate thoughts since I just got it to read and clear codes when we went to the mountains. The thin air kept tripping codes. Just make sure you get one that is compatible with your phone since some are android or Apple only. You likely need to buy the full Torque version of the app.
  8. But did it come with a lot of ice cream?
  9. Yup good call...not sure why I didn’t see it.
  10. Mrs. Cannon goes away for the weekend for a ladies retreat. I stay home with the 4 kids. On Saturday morning half of us go grocery shopping, the other half clean house. Saturday afternoon we host a board game play date and have kids’ friends over for dinner. Saturday night, the kids and I have a movie night and my brothers-in-law comes over crashes on the couch - he needs help with his car and showed up a day early. Sunday morning I do all the work on his car (swapping out parts of his tiny crammed as fuck Japanese contortionist-designed intake) because it’s clear he is in over his head. I thought it was a great weekend - we took care of business, the kids helped out and got along, we did fun things together, I helped my BIL with his car. We ate healthy and made badass salads through out the weekend. Wife comes home, immediately starts complaining about random shit and goes into OCD floor cleaning mode. WTF.
  11. Why? This video demonstrates the effectiveness at close range. I actually have been thinking of downsizing and customizing a 410 as my primary HD weapon.
  12. To answer your question, there are several biometric options these days. I know a few people who have the speed vault posted above and like it. The other thing to consider is how and where to secure the handgun safe. At a minimum you want to secure it with a cable lock. However, I suggest re evaluating a home defense weapon. I personally would not chose a handgun because if I miss a shot, the round is going through a wall with most of its inertia. Like you, I have other people living in the house (on the other side of said walls). I opted for a tactical shotgun with picatinny rails for a remote pressure light. The first 2 shells are birdshot (8 and 6) followed by 2 buck and finally a slug. Birdshot will still go through a wall but it would not be as severe. I increase the stopping power in my shot selection since my goal is to neutralize the threat while making a reasonable attempt the preserve the threats life (knowing full well that it creates additional risk for my own life and legal liability). For that, I receive a lot of criticism but I do it out of personal beliefs. To each his own. The other aspect I like about a shotty is that it’s hard to miss. There is a difference between shooting at a range and shooting in the middle of the night, half asleep, with adrenaline pumping. Unless I’ve done a lot of tactical classes and competitions, I won’t trust myself to be that accurate with a pistol under distress. I have had unpleasant experience of having to get my gun out in the middle of the night under those circumstances. Let me tell you that my vision and judgment was totally fucked going from deep sleep to oh shit mode instantly. Fortunately it was a false alarm. However, the alarm woke my kids and had them wondering around to investigate. You just never know the situation you’ll face until it happens. However I digress. There are also tactical locks for shotguns as well. I have one from shotlock. https://www.shotlock.com/. I configure it to hang from the breach. With the breach open, there is no way it can accidentally fire.
  13. Deleting the account and adding it back fixed the problem. There must have been a corrupted item that was forcing re-synchs
  14. One of my favorite plays was when DJ came across the line untouched and ran way behind the QB, he was going so fast. QB was dropped back, standing tall and apparently didn’t her the LB directly behind him. DJ just pushed him to the ground from behind. QB toppled over like a rag doll.
  15. Anyone have issues with Apple Watch calendar draining their battery running in background?
  16. Att one charges through the App Store.
  17. Maybe. Maybe not. It means Cheap Chinese electronics are in your AC unit. When I had my ac unit replaced I asked to add an American made Cadillac line capacitor to the order. My buddy who did the install laughed at me. They do not exist. Hmmm that’s why dad always kept caps on hand.
  18. Where do you find the cap locally?
  19. I shit you not when I tell you I spent $17 bucks on the engagement ring. That’s right seventeen USD. I actually asked her if she wanted a nice ring and a fancy wedding, or if she prefer to buy a home within the next two years. So I bought a plain silver band which she wears and appreciates to this day. We bought a house 2 years later and paid it off 12 years after making the first payment (on one income nonetheless). Don’t get me wrong there is something to say about tradition, making her feel special, etc. However, there is also something to being financially forward looking, setting goals, and taking some of the rat race pressure off of your marriage. Have the conversation with her about where you want to be in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years. Then discuss how you two will get there.
  20. Yup. Depends on how hard you want to work for the extra coin. The last two cars I bought I emailed every dealer within a 200 mile radius, gave them the specs of what I wanted, gave them less than a week to give me their lowest price, and advised them I only deal with the sales manager. They had one shot. Half didn’t have inventory or didn’t want to play, a quarter had crappy pricing, and a quarter were hungry. If dealers tied each other, I pushed the envelope again. For this to work, you have to have your ducks in a row - down payment, easy to get financing, straight cash deal, etc. you can’t be a pain. It’s got to be a quick deal for them. It’s not very hard especially towards the end of the month.
  21. 100% spot on. This place gets TexAgs pretty regularly
  22. DT was the glaring need. They should have taken the best one available regardless of value. This was a deep DL class so I hope this kid pans out. That was the only reason I didn’t completely lose hope in trading away the 1st round pick.
  23. Esto. You’re at a point where you can change relatively easily. The firebox does look a wee wee.
  24. I’m looking for a NAS to run as a plex media server and to store pictures and a small amount of files. - Most movies are H.264 1080P MKVs. - May need HW transcoding capabilities - Clients are mostly roku ultras and iPhones - Only need 6 to 8 TB in capacity / RAID 1 - Needs to reliably work and be easy to use Not interested in building my own. Thanks in advance, WC
