  1. Bump... All kinds of shit going down. Dake vs. Ringer are wrestling off for the world team in AUSTIN! My family is driving down to attend. The worlds start Sept 14th, this might be the best US team ever. My boys just got back from 8 days at U of Iowa wrestling camp, what a terrific experience. They got to wrestle in carver-hawkeye every day.
  2. yup, took one of those one strap sling backpacks. much more secure and smaller than normal b'pack.
  3. My youngest son's nickname is "cant get right". so yes, i love this movie.
  4. its funny as hell. my boys are here for a wrestling camp and they run every day. they keep saying "dad, man, this weather is awesome for running but all the northern kids are passing out". im sitting on the porch in this "heat wave" enjoying a beer and the beautiful weather.
  5. I've been up here (iowa city) for a week. it was 90 the other day and they had a heat advisory.
  6. I worked in an ice cream hardening room (i.e. -20 warehouse freezer) in college (Yarnell's). I could tell stories for hours about what we did with that ice cream.
  7. I did that a couple weeks ago...pork belly cubed and smoked. took leftovers and ground with brisket burnt ends and some ground meat. damn good burgers.
  8. Mt gay XO is incredible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I hate disney more than anything, however, i understand you have to pay homage to the mouse once in your life. We did it and i hated every moment so yes, just bite down and get it over with. -drinking around the world is indeed the highlight. pace yourself....i was stumbling by the time i got to japan. -we had one of those disney planners do our entire trip. when we got to our hotel i sat down with the concierge and she threw our plan away and re-did it. MUCH better than what we had planned. someone else said to use the people who work there for advice, do it. -you will see the worst in people while you are there. i helped an old lady up who got trampled after the fireworks one night. people suck and disney is a magnet for those people. foreigners, generally speaking, have little to no manners, watch your 6. -get a bottle of good bourbon on your way to the hotel, dont buy booze on campus if you can avoid it. have fun.
  10. wow. drove down 35 from kansas to dallas yesterday and was about 30 minutes behind the storm the whole way. that was a f'er! north dallas/addison looks like a disaster area this morning.
  11. Got my brothers response. -Merrimans for sure -Huggos and Huggos. Said one is casual and the other is nicer/dinner. touristy but solid. -Big island grill in Kona, said the fish is excellent and fresh there. -Fish n Pig in Waimea.
  12. I have costa's and m. jim's and both are great with terrific customer service/warranty. However, op said cheap so i would say foster grant, body glove, etc at academy is your answer. for $20-30 you have usable sunglasses that you dont care if they drop to the bottom of the lake. I have 2-3 pairs in my truck for the hellofit.
  13. My brother did the ol' "fuck it, i'm moving to the big island" deal about 6 years ago. sold everything and left and never came back, hellofa midlife crisis for that fella. he went full native. with that being said, he has the place figured out. he snorkels daily and knows where to get the best food. he lives "up the moutain" from hilo, about as far west and still be considered in hilo. i'll see if he has some insider info for you.
  14. hmmmm, dont think OP is gay but this is certainly an option.
  15. So i know PB went all aggie but i want to get my 600 pictures downloaded. Right now it says my account is restricted and cant do anything. Should i just pay the $4.99 monthly fee to get access? If i do that, will i be able to download my pics?
  16. To prove this point. Friday he was riding with his friend to wrestling practice. Kid was crossing traffic and wasnt paying attention and a car was about to t-bone him...hit the accelerator and went sideways into a tree. My kid was in the passenger seat. Luckily no injuries but proves how stupid these kids are. They were in an old dodge truck and they didnt even get bruised. My kid now changed the game and said he wants a truck. His immediate reaction was that if they were in a small car it would have been much worse.
  17. Not gonna lie...i watched 8 seasons just to see sansa boobs.
  18. TL;DR...we gettin' fucked or what?
  19. FYI, my son is a vexillologist, in case you have any questions. Funny story, he called a photographer out during an art show one time. He claimed a picture he was showing was taken in some little village, i think he said italy...my son asked why there was a flag of zenica-doboj canton in the background. Laughed my ass off as my 12 year old walked off eating his ice cream.
  20. -learned to speak Mexican -learned to play the harmonica. thats about it.
  21. Ok, ages wrong. 15/16, oops. Anyway, one will be a freshman this year and the other a junior so more like 2 years together in high school. However, i know i wouldnt want to share a car so i wont argue that. guess ill just stick with the path i was heading down and find the best hondakianissan out there. i guess insurance is the same on all those? jr wants an 80's bronco, so do i.
  22. I'm sure this has been asked, but I couldnt find it anywhere. Started doing research for cars (16 and 14 year old boys). Couple questions: 1. Thinking about getting 1 car for them to share for a couple years until the older goes to college. Does that work? They play the same sport and practices, etc are always together so i think sharing a car would be ok? 2. I'm leaning toward a 3-4 year car with fairly low mileage. I also want the safest car i can find. Lets say my budget is 10-12k, what is the best vehicle in that price range? Searches are coming up with kia optima, altima, jetta's, etc. I would guess any of those would be about equal? Would one be cheaper than another when it comes to insurance?
  23. i know you fairly well, so i know what you are really wanting
  24. Yup. Good experience. Walk in, point to the car you want, out the door in 20 minutes. They dont haggle, which kinda sucks, i like fighting with those dudes, but prices are good. They also gave me top dollar for my trade. Wife is in a jag now, trying to talk her back into a mb.
