I have an LG CX, and it is by far the best TV I have ever owned. It sucks that you are having problems with yours. :(

I've had gas chainsaws in the past and they were always a pain to get started. This thing is perfect for my needs. I'm not felling any large trees, just mostly routine tree trimming, or disposing of fallen limbs and stuff like that. But so far it seems this thing wouldn't have much trouble with larger jobs as well. After my initial hesitancy I've been buying more and more electric outdoor tools including a string trimmer, hedge trimmer and blower. I love them all and I don't foresee ever going back to gas unless I get a much larger property that requires longer run times. I bought a push mower last year and now I wish I'd had the balls to go electric on that too.
Nice, i've started doing this too. I should have stuck with the same brand though. I have the black and decker chainsaw and small weed whacker. The chainsaw is great but the whacker is just ok. They both use the same batteries though, so that's nice. I also have a Stihl leaf blower and it is incred. Stihl is pricey, but this thing blows the concrete off my patio. I'm considering the Ryiobi riding mower. Its a pretty big investment though. I've heard its great, but the issue is there aren't a lot of places that work on them when you do have an issue.
Yep I have the same issue. My weed whacker, blower and electric drill are all 20v craftsman that use the same battery. My hedge trimmer is a Kobalt and now my chainsaw is a Ryobi. I bought the Ryobi because I really wanted a 14 inch and the Craftsman electric saws didn't get great reviews. Kobalt hedge trimmer was a gift. It's nice but I would have bought a 20v Craftsman hedge trimmer if given the choice.
While we're discussing this, it's amazing how little middle school administrators care about middle school sports. Club sports definitely go harder. My daughter has had back to back cross country meets cancelled on total bullshit. Last Thursday she couldn't run because their bus was cancelled. They didn't give parents the option of taking our own kids to the meet. Yesterday the meet was cancelled by the host school because of a thunderstorm watch. Not thunder, not rain, not a thunderstorm warning, just a watch. It ended up raining for 10 minutes, an hour and a half before the meet was scheduled to start. The Ames coaches didn't practice after the cancellation.
crap is frustrating.
Lmao, when did all of this wealth and arrogance stuff happen? It’s beyond great.
Before we played them in Austin in 1999. It was a huge game, we were a very underrated 13 and they were an egregiously overrated 15. He said this the week of the game and we went down there and beat the crap out of them.
lil sd just turned 8 and did tryouts for a new select team and made it and he starts practicing 2-3 days a week in late August going straight through winter at the indoor facility for the 2022 season. This is probably a normal thing for people who didn’t grow up in Meade Kansas but it seems pretty wild to me that they do this crap. It’s not even majors. Like, I guess you are just a baseball kid now bud. Hope you don’t burn out and do heavy drugs I guess.

I'm taking a 14 year old to a water polo tournament in Orange County in a few weeks! And the team kinda SUCKS!!!
How big is the youth water polo scene?
It is by far more popular in California than anywhere else but it isn't a crazy big scene even here and it was really hurt by pool access during covid. There were ~16 girls' teams in the Junior Olympic Zone qualifiers which basically covered the Bay Area. Boys probably had double the number of teams because girls started playing relatively recently.
It's a really cool sport, I'm going to watch all the women's games in the Olympics. It's rough, there's room for creativity with the ball, and they have a shot clock even for little kids so it's always back and forth. I could sit and watch competitive games all afternoon.
My oldest kid is 15, which isn't exactly little anymore, but anyway...
He's been in North Carolina this week for the Boys ECNL National "Champions League", where 64 teams go and play in 16 round robin groups. His team won their group, and then a knock-out game today. The prize for that is he is going to St. Louis for an 8 team knock-out style tournament in two weeks.
Then he gets a week off before training for the next season starts.
This sort of seems like a lot...
Is that at the complex outside of Cary?
That is wild. I bet your kid whips ass at baseball.My oldest kid is 15, which isn't exactly little anymore, but anyway...Gah!

This is on top of the fact that there is only one other team in his league from our city (Austin). So even the rest of the year half the games are in Dallas/Houston/San Antonio + 1 trip to Oklahoma.

Looks like some scalps were got.
The amount of outrage about this is kind of comical. Like, this is a once every 20 years weather event.
