  1. Same. Mower, edger, weed eater. Did have a battery die on me after a few years of use, but replaced it with a newer (higher amp-hour) one that still works with all the tools.
  2. To be fair, that could be the name of this forum...
  3. Damn, sorry to see this experience, Goofyboy. Props to you for jumping in and doing what was needed for your son.
  4. Looking forward to the movie...don't love the title. I'm sure it's been covered before, but it sounds like a porn knock-off of the franchise..
  5. I'm too old for this shit!!!!
  6. I don't have any rep to hit all the posts in here, but certainly a lot of good advice and insight. - if you've been through this kind of thing already, please, please, please keep sharing. I remember feeling so lost that hearing from *anyone* who had even the slightest similar experience helped ground me a bit. - @Ojo Rojo and anyone else facing these potential situations: feel free to PM me - even if you just need to vent (which is normal). I'm no expert - and every kid is different anyway - but I can listen like a motherfucker...
  7. No worries. - Applied behavioral analysis therapy was great. - Diet changes - no dairy, minimal processed food - melatonin - some supplements that claimed to be "anti-inflammatory" (these are the ones that seemed like BS to me at the time, but since we were seeing improvement, I didn't care at all to change it up) - helping him learn to deal with stress for himself
  8. Every kid is different, let me start with that. My son, now 17, was diagnosed PDD-NOS when he was 3. That day was the most confused, overwhelmed, and helpless I've ever felt. Like you, I imagined all the worst case scenarios you can. Fast forward to now, and he's in normal classes at a normal high school. He's a good kid and a good student. He's quirky. And he can still get overly emotional when things go off course. But he has learned to adapt and succeed - so hang in there, there is hope! Get all the help you can - talk to people (like you're doing here), talk to experts, talk to off-the-wall-kooky doctors. Talk to everyone. You will find stuff that works for your son. You will find things that your logical brain says shouldn't work, but you won't give two shits if it helps your son. We still leverage the public school resources, and also did a lot of therapy when he was younger (ABA was fantastic for us). Keep your head up, and realize that this isn't the final outcome. But this is the start of a journey that you & your family will have to navigate and complete together. Send me a PM if I can help.
  9. I haven't had any issues with the wifi, but when I had a temp probe fail, Rec Teq's customer support was fantastic. They quickly sent out two probes, no charge. I've heard stories from others as well praising their support. Definitely recommend giving them a call.
  10. reminds me of this actually:
  11. Only use the pellet here. As mentioned above, I did use a gas grill to sear steaks (reverse sear - smoke on the recteq...mmmmmmm), but now have added a bullseye to take searing over as well.
  12. I've had an rt-700 for a few years now (3? 4?), and picked up a bullseye just before Christmas. I had an old gas grill with a sear plate that I used for searing steaks - and nothing else. With the bullseye, I'm donating the gas grill to my BIL. The bullseye is fantastic, and will get damn hot, for sure. I have had a couple of issues with it not wanting to fire up, and I had to clean out the fire pot before it behaved. Nothing major, but not something I've ever seen on the rt-700.
  13. And, of course, Russia will promise to fully support China when they "liberate" Taiwan... 😠
  14. oh shit! G650 = Lewis Hamilton!!!!!
  15. Early reports say this might be a little different...not just small rockets launched from nearby, but 6 ballistic missiles launched from an Iranian missile base. Just what the world needed right now...
  16. Looks like multiple bidders so far, but no one (according to sources) has reached Abramovich's valuation...
  17. I wish I had enough clout to rep this post. I see the same thing...
  18. You guys had it good. Colt 45 and MD 20/20 were the HS go-tos here. Glad I no longer get anywhere near either of those, to even have to worry about what the smell might remind me of... lol
  19. Now imagine if he doesn't have to dodge 2+ guys behind the line of scrimmage every play...!!
  20. This game is killing me. 😠 FINISH!!!!
  21. OK, that is fucking awesome...
  22. Feel exactly the same...
  23. Was able to catch after halftime. Frustratingly familiar with what felt like hundreds of great goal-scoring opportunities, and a huge lack of finishing. Kepa's save on the penalty was fantastic....
  24. This shit right here. A million times this. Every flat, raised, horizontal surface in the house is *not* a storage place for shit that has *actual* storage places elsewhere. Barstools, chairs, coffee tables, end tables, beds... Also, what's up, Judge? Been a long time...
