  1. Why does everyone live in the hottest part of the state?
  2. Priceline is kind of dying. My go to is Hotwire now. Just used them for my trip this weekend. Also got my hotel on last minute travel.com using google somehow (just kind of fell into it). That deal was nuts.
  3. I usually use Hotwire. Did the blind deal. Saved $15 off per day on their advertised discounted price. Then they let me upgrade to a shitty crossover for free. Then at the kiosk I negotiated the counter guy to $10/day additional to upgrade to a Jeep Wrangler.
  4. The song is awesome and so are the other two she’s released off the album.
  5. His playing was great, but he stole the stage with his incredible showmanship. Just on another level of elite talent with the likes of James Brown, Hendrix, MJ…
  6. If I’m ever in a position to buy a plane, it’s going to be a cirrus because parachute!!! Why haven’t other manufacturers started doing this?
  7. I made some great friends from Houston, but damn they’re shady and street smart.
  8. I might have gotten lucky with a small stone. The pain lasted four hours, then subsided substantially. I still don’t feel right. Just pounding water trying to flush everything I can put of the system. I wasn’t really looking to see if or when it passed. I kind of regret that now... My first stone 16 years ago lasted 24 hours and involved a trip to the hospital. This pain was the same feeling, but on the left side instead and probably 60% of my original stone’s pain level.
  9. Pretty sure I’m having one again right now. It’s been 16 years since the first one when I was 25 years old. Woke up tonight with that dull stabbing pain, but more to the side than the back. Took some Advil and it’s helped a little, but I’ve seen this movie before. It’s about to be hell.
  10. Need some advice: Big Family vacation in July and I need to decide between houses in Incline Village (on mountain with great views) and South Lake Tahoe (Zephyr Cove on mountain with great views). We don’t care about gambling. Want good beaches and stuff to do with kids, and to avoid riff raft.
  11. His athleticism is off the charts. He was either injured or just not good at football last season. If you can run a 4.38 and have a 40 inch vertical, athleticism is not the problem.
  12. Incredible final season. One thing the writers missed on was leaving Henry should have had them reference and discuss the Russian kid that they drove to almost suicide in season 4 and not wanting Henry to suffer the same depression and loneliness in Russia. Also, I wish they would have shown a quick future montage of Oleg getting released, Paige getting on a plane to Argentina, and like someone else said Henry getting a call from Russia.
  13. Isn’t this the plot of “men at work” with Charlie sheen and Emilio Estevez?
  14. Just shock that shit, wait two hours, and cannonball.
  15. Full disclosure: I was using a line 6 multi for many years and hated it. I want good clean tube tones and overdrive. Then add some good pedals to compliment.
  16. I am ready to dive balls deep into the amp first, then add pedals.
  17. I had this last year and it seemed to help, but not as effective as I would have liked. I’m hoping this year is better. I’ve done a few more things to reduce standing water areas.
  18. Thanks for the ideas. Very helpful. I really like the idea of a used Mesa Boogie.
  19. Also the orange solid state 120 gets great reviews and is really cheap. My fear is that it won’t sound warm enough when recording. Also note my style varies a lot depending on the song I’m asked to play lead on. Very little metal, but lots of crunch and hard driving rock.
  20. My research has yielded these so far: pravey classic 20, egnater 30. Vox 15, HK 20 tubemeister, black star club mk50, orange dual terror 30, and a marshall dsl.
  21. I need help. My 26 year old Marshall solid state shit the bed and I want a new amp head anyway. I want tubes. Two channels that can do nice cleans, crunch, and hard rock distortion. Prefer to have reverb on board. Want a modern cab simulator out for noiseless recording. Want to be able to reduce the wattage. Also prefer to spend under $1000, but this will be my forever amp so I’ll listen to more expensive ideas. Whatcer i get can run through my Marshall 1960A 4x12 cabinet.
  22. Not sure about current tax code, but you might be able to depreciate the dwelling as well. As long as you never sell or just do a like kind exchange, you’ll never have to pay tax on the true-up.
  23. That looks pretty sweet. Did you do the wrap yourself?
  24. I’d encourage all of our players to sing whatever alternate lyrics they want when the song is played, as long as they are in good taste and respectful to the university. A new song, or at least new words, will bubble up organically.
