  1. I have two boys and another on the way. No plans to have more after that. 
     

    There is something very rewarding seeing them interact with their great grandparents and grandparents and taking them to our favorite vacations spots and homes we grew up in. I’m looking forward to taking the boys hiking and flying over the western United States when they get older.

    The world is going to shit? I’m sure every generation has had similar sentiments. It’s an excuse but not a good one. There doesn’t need to be an excuse to decide to not have kids. They are an investment with no guarantee of return. A risk you could say and life is full of them.

    JFC, it is not like any of us are in Southern Afghanistan wearing armor. Run some fans, go play UNO outside. Eat Popsicles or drink beer. 

    Sorry, just tired of people talking about the heat. You live in Texas. It is hot here. Called Summer. 

    Preach. I am handling it fine.

    Can’t wait for ump scorecard to come out, zero chance it was anything less than +1.2 runs for Houston. Ump had it out for us tonight big time. Oh well. Lineups were a wash, you had minor leaguers and we had Gallo, who doesn’t belong in any form of professional baseball and is probably worth -5 runs a game by himself somehow. The entire fanbase hates him so fucking much.

    Whatever. Fuck houston.  

    The amount of joy I derive from your dumbass posts almost makes me feel bad about myself.

    I’m in San Francisco this weekend, one of the major cities that went on über lockdown for quite a while, and very few fucks are given right now. More masks than I saw in New York City a few weeks ago, but still a small minority.

    I hope you are finding a good sushi place. Hakashi Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill was awesome. I sat at the bar and the owner was great to talk to. He just started making all kinds of Sashimi and putting it in front of me. I don't think he has a liquor license so I just bought a bottle of Jeffersons at the corner liquor store to have with dinner. 

    Bonus. I did not catch covid there.

  5. For some reason my dumbass did not remember you can book flights through chase’s travel portal and use points. To the airline it is like you payed with cash. 
     

    On my work trip to Boston my wife decided to go last minute. Miles through United was 42k round trip. Using points on the Sapphire came in at 31k points. And she received 3k miles for taking the trip. 
     

    Looks like I’ll be using this method to fly the family to Seattle in September as well. I’ll save about 38k points because United’s dynamic award chart is shit and I haven’t seen a saver award in forever.

    LMAO at people flying commercial looking down their nose at other "poors" flying commercial
    #teamprivate

    Flying private is the biggest waste of money out there. Yes, it is convenient, but just wasteful, not to mention not friendly to the environment. But you do you.

    It’s pretty fantastic when traveling with kids and going out to West Texas or the better beaches in FL. 

  7. Work travel is every person for themselves. I usually try to get intel on other coworkers flights and I make sure I am on different itinerary. 

    Family right now is me taking the three year old, one year old, the stroller, and the bags with 18 different types of liquid through clear and pre line while my wife goes through the poors line.

    I would’ve said the redesigned Sequoia but they fucked up second row captains chairs. Instead of sliding forward to access the 3rd row, they now fold forward eliminating access to the 3rd row if you have car seats installed. I don’t know what the fuck Toyota was thinking with that design.

    There is too much to think about when buying a vehicle for 5. 
     

    Anyone have any experience with the diesel engine they are putting in the Yukons and Suburbans now?

    Don’t know how old your other 2 are but regular Tahoe becomes tight with second row captains if they play sports or your travel much.  It’s night and day difference between that and the XL/Burb depending on your fancy. 

    Good info. I am working off the assumption that we won’t make road trips past 3 hours. But I didn’t even think about sports… not sure how I could be that dumb, my oldest is three, and is probably a year out from starting soccer or T ball. 
     

    My FIL has a 09 suburban with 40k miles sitting up in J Hole. He offered it to us but it doesn’t have any cameras or sensors and no leather seats so my wife said no. I think it’s perfect. I mean parallel parking is kind of difficult, I had no idea how much I rely on those sensors, but I think we would get use to it.
