I have been using this watch for my Uncle over the past year and it is great. Can make calls to it, and set up a geo-fence to send alerts. They can send out SOS to all family members. It's not the sleekest watch but very simple and so far great. The best part is it reminds them and you to put it on a charger each night. At first, I would call when it would alert me that it was charging, and eventually, it became a habit for him. https://www.angelsense.com/gps-tracker-watch/

I was of same mindset but a friend who went previous convinced me to do it and honestly was one of the better decisions we made and I guess depends on where you are staying. For the ones you get in Cinnamon Shores(Top Deck and/or Sage) they are all 6 seater but can be 4 if you flip down the back seat into truck bed. We drove it everywhere, down the beach and into Port A. We basically never got in our car once we got to town which kept sand and wet stuff out of car. We enjoyed the 15mph cruise on the beach while sipping a drink. Obviously not any more legal than a car but you get the point. Was about $145-$165/day 9am to 9am. Digital start and gas powered. With little ones that forget stuff at house or want to run back home to grab more booze it makes good sense.

I have not been to Port A in 20 years but took the family down last week and we had a blast. The water and beaches are nicer than I remember and we loved everything about the vibe. We stayed in Cinnamon Shores and ate 3 meals out while we were there. It is obvious Port A is struggling like the rest of the country to get people to work. Service at most places was just OK and the Top Deck Golf Cart guys said they can't get anyone to apply or stay on. Our first meal was at Dylans pizza within CS and it was good pizza and salad, we got seated pretty easy but getting the pizzas was slow so order apps. We ate at Grumbles one night and was perfect. Order at counter and grab a table and drink while you wait. I was expecting TGI Fridays type meals and it exceeded my expectations, good for large groups and kids. On our second to last night we ate Isabellas in CS. Really cool atmosphere and good menu. At first our server was rushing us and then service after apps came to a complete halt. Dinner took close to 2.5 hours for 4 people. Food was good but not worth the $35+ per plate and slow service. Vibe was lacking as well, place could be so much more. My wife's favorite part of the trip was our nightly golf cart ride down the beach into Brons for a ToGo Pina Colada. We will definitely go back and give Texas our money VS 30a. Next time will try to take a guided trip based on some of the previously recommended services.

@cactusflinthead I did some yard work this weekend and dug some to repair sprinklers and noticed a grub in my St.A. Anything I can put down now?

That’s good to know removing them is that easy.

@Chewbacca talk to me about the rear cargo space with those seats folded up. Has it been a pain?

Great info. Have them bringing one by the house today for a test drive and make sure it fits in the garage.

Looking for some Land Cruiser advice. Always been my dream car. Looking at purchasing a new 2021 and wanted to get any feedback on the model and features. Both good and bad. Why do I want new? I have been driving the same pick-up for 19 years so want to treat myself. Would consider the LX570 as well so any buying advice you can give would be much appreciated.

Any recs for Sunday Brunch?

Texfan, there are not enough people that would qualify, but saw a potential solution today announced by CSL Behring. They are partnering with SAb out of North Dakota who can produce Polyclonal Human Antibodies. So hopefully a therapeutic like this is the solution to fill in where human donors cannot. https://www.cslbehring.com/newsroom/2020/sab-covid-19

Anyone have a good PPR Cheat Sheet? Drafting today.

I have spoken with locals and they are all about it. The kool-aid is flowing from the water tower. Supposedly 3-4 "stud" guys have transferred in.

We are headed to Costa Rica(Papagayo) in June, what are fishing conditions like this time of year? Any recs for boats?
