  1. Thanks for the response. We’ll put that cash elsewhere.
  2. I bought one off Craigslist a couple years ago. It was a cheaper Costco style set with thin cheap wood and cheap plastic features. I Went to some guys house, disassembled, transported and reassembled a well worn set. The kids loved it but I set it up on uneven ground and it leaned a little. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago and 60 mph winds made it lean a lot. So it had to go. I wasn’t about to disassemble and level the yard or place supports to get it good enough to stay. My kids are 5 almost 6 and I’m not doing the Craigslist thing again. Now the questions: how long do kids like playscapes? Till 8? Has anyone used someone around austin that would install a quality set on a yard with a bit of a slope that won’t take too big a bite out of my butt?
  3. I have a porch that gets a lot of afternoon sun from the side which makes it useless. I’m thinking of planting something that will grow thick enough and tall enough to block the sun. The porch is 10 foot deep and I have 12 feet from the porch to the neighbor fence. My first though is 1 or 2 red tip photinia shrubs. What concerns should I keep in mind? Is there something better?
  4. Anyone have a coupon code? Shipping is another $5
  5. Somebody pull a pitch. Take advantage of the wind
  6. FUCKING SWING THE FUCKING BAT

    Movie pass

    Yeah. I read that. They were also trying to black out some films to drive people to other films. They’ll have to increase the price and expect people to go less often. I thought the theaters would be all over this to drive concession sales

    Movie pass

    I have it. Use it regularly. I haven’t had an issue yet. It does not seem sustainable.
  9. We would be home if there is a game tomorrow.
  10. And I bet he thinks he’s good and wonders why he doesn’t get promoted to the Show.
  11. I agree with most of this chart. I’d lower the last Jedi to the low 80s. Maybe increase return of the Jedi.
  12. I thought it was ok. I didn’t like the actor cause he didn’t look like HF.. otherwise it was ok. Not a great script. Not a great cast. Not particularly well written. Just like most SW movies.
  13. Bet someone’s guns are on that boat.
  14. I like Costa’s. I get a discount for being a veteran thru govx. Steep and cheap is another place with good discount. They have been durable and have great lenses. Glass lenses seem more scratch resistant than polycarbonate. They will replace or fix scratched lenses for $60-80 I’ve also enjoyed a few Nike and serengheti (from Costco ). When I get Nike glasses, I try to get models with swappable lenses. That way when I scratch a set, I don’t have to trash the pair.
  15. So extra innings could be useful.
  16. I think the drastic rate of intermingling of ancestry is relatively new. Very possible she is correct.
  17. Psychic post is psychic.
  18. Massdrop has the Kizer Guru for $99. Great knife worth more than that.
  19. PSA: Your kid gets 3 seconds of hootin and hollerin. At 4 seconds, Someone else won’t be able to hear their kids name. Keep your shit tight. Loud as you want for 3 seconds. This is NOT a “who loves their kid more” contest.
  20. S&W trying to keep Up with glocks veteran appreciation discount.
  21. Down 27 pounds in 78 days. Calorie counting + gym 2-4 days a week. Feeling good.
  22. Police trade ins can be had closer to $400. Also, veterans can get a blue label (L/E) price this summer. M&P9 or 9c 2.0 are similar but less expensive. CZ P10c is glock like and comes with a great trigger. Ruger SR9c is similar size and probably the least expensive of the bunch. If you want closer to $300, Bersa makes a couple models that are underrated quality shooter (BP9cc and one other model I’ve shot but can’t remember the name)
  23. That’s trivial. Bravo. I cannot stand any live feed to a sporting event that doesn’t include a score/essential info every second of the feed. I hate walking by the screen and waiting minutes to know time/inning/score.
  24. My biggest concern with retirement is the cost of healthcare. I have no idea how much I’ll need because I have no idea how much healthcare is going to cost
  25. I thought retirement was something earlier generations did. I’ll probably have to work till I die.
