  1. Had no intentions of getting the shot any time soon, but had a client call out of the blue with extras so went ahead and did it. 2nd shots for both of us today, we’ll see what the next day or so bring I suppose.

    It got me thinking on some of the things we tried/did growing up. My dad was/is a dumbass, so he was always at the front of the line to try something. There should be a parasail setup in there somewhere still. You had to slow down half way down the lake to clear the TVA transmission lines that crossed. The lake police ended up ticketing us for using it and threatening to arrest him if they saw it again. We built a 3/4 or so sized jump and also a baby one that we would pull into a creek and hide it when not using it. We had skis and knee boards we would use on it that are probably still down there. A tube or two went over the baby one along with the stand up jet skis. I think most of the slalom course is still down there somewhere. It has been run on skis and wakeboards. That doesn’t even begin to get into the stupid stuff done on kneeboards, jet skis, etc.

    Not behind a wake boat, we did it behind my old Ebbtide. I never really liked it, so it didn’t last long and got relegated to the back of the basement. It was the old sitting style though. I can‘t imagine it will be any different behind a wake boat. You just have to pull at surf speeds and the wake typically flattens out behind the surf wave. I need to check the basement at the lake house sometime and see what all is in there. A lot of memories and some really stupid ideas more than likely.
  4. Wife got pissed at me this afternoon for not supporting her and always taking the kids side in their arguments. Oldest daughter then yelled at me for always taking my wife’s side in their arguments and not supporting them. This was all over a stupid ass argument they had at lunch over nothing. I grabbed extra beers and the dog and went outside for the remainder of the afternoon. A wife and 2 teenage daughters qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment for a week or so a month.
  5. 6 months after the hole was dug, we finally have water. Maybe 6 months from now, we’ll have some landscaping and the 18x40 covered patio/room/kitchen.
  6. They typically do not extend the extended deadline. I would think it’s still 10/15, but I have not looked.
  7. Simple solution, never ride in the back seat of your own vehicle. Who cares about other people back there. When my kids were little, I used to laugh at my wife doing carpool in her A5.
  8. Rosemary is much more private/quaint feeling than Siesta. Depending on kids ages, you will feel more comfortable turning them loose in Rosemary. Siesta is the busiest of all mentioned if you have to use public beach access. The main beach is massive, but you can stay further from there but you also lose the walk ability. I think you can take the trolley setup though. Rosemary felt too uppity for me, so we’ve only been once. I would rather get a house on AMI or Blue Mountain and have to drive to eat potentially. I’m not a big fan of other people so we’re always looking for low beach volume.

    Speaking of bench spots, I could use a couple more. This is getting ridiculous.

    I hate 5 IP, 1 ER games.
  11. It wasn’t Sea Pines, we went to Wild Dunes. The main pool was closed, but it was a nice resort. I preferred the Omni at Amelia Island primarily because the Fernandina Beach downtown area was a nice setup and we liked the houses. I have friends that go to some place on St Simon’s Island every year and never go anywhere else. I haven’t been though.
  12. I’m not an East Coast fan of a resort fan, but Sea Pines is a nice area. I just don’t care for the beaches or the water and the few times we’ve taken the kids they have had no interest in getting in the water. From a house standpoint, Rosemary Beach would fit your requirements, something around Seaside but outside the immediate loop would fit your requirement, a house in the Pine Island area of Anna Maria would be probably the highest on my list, something right around Siesta Key, etc.

    Hopefully you do all of that while running full ballast right by docks.
  14. LUV.
  15. I sure am glad I cashed in some SWA stock back in late January to get on the Surly stock bandwagon. It’s up another 30% since then, this side portfolio not so much. I think I had better luck with sports betting as a hobby.

    I don’t think it will ever hold up for the full season, but I was curious how going P/P and then best available from there on out would work.

    JD Martinez is showing out.

    Wake boat prices are past the point of stupid right now. At this rate I’m going to sit out another year or do something stupid like buy a new one. I’ve seen piles of ‘05-‘07 models in the $50k range. Damn boats were cheaper than that new.
  19. Maybe should have waited a little longer on those it looks like.
  20. In, guess I’m buying some more IBRX as well. Need to average down some anyways.
  21. Brew replied to BurntOrange&White's topic in Hobbies
    He should initial them somewhere. Then when he buys them off Craigslist he could look for it, since there is at least a reasonable chance he’s bought his back.
  22. Based on her spending habits, you better call quickly:
  23. I’m sure my wife will be calling and bumping up my life insurance based on the cardio issues and us having round 2 of Pfizer in a week. That already isn’t my strong suit.
  24. You have until 5/17 to make retirement contributions. Nondeductible to Roth seems fairly well covered at this point. Simple process with no other IRA holdings.
  25. I have different definitions of old school than a few of you. When I think of old school candies, it's the stuff you only find in a Cracker Barrel or candy store now like Charleston Chews, the little two tone brown peanut butter bars, the lemonheads in a box, sixlets, etc.
