I was in Manhattan :Take the Bait: two weeks ago and got 24 cans of the AJ Strawberry Lemonade. My kids love it but I think it's mid.

seems like it would be good to mix 50-50 with a la croix for extra carbonation

I got it specifically as a mixer for Pimms Cups. It's fine for that.
excited to try this and will also be mixing with the Beast for make Summer Beer - AJ's version

I burnt out so many clutches in my youth lmao
I think the newer cars are much harder to burn the clutch up on. Should be interesting. None of the model I want are in the Kansas City area so back to the motherland (ICT) I go.
this is true.  computer controlled throttle/rev matching help with the N - 1st and actually any shift changes.
Yeah looking at a Civic Sport vs a Civic Si. Figure this will last me a while either car just would like to drive both to see if the difference in 150 HP in the auto to a 200 HP in the manual. Cause if so I think I can justify the extra cash plus I don't think I will mind a manual.
i have only driven manuals for 30 years outside of 6 years in a SUV when my kids were in car seats and my advice is to quit pussy footing around and buy a type R.  The day when there are no 3 pedal cars at all is coming so get the best one you can now.   The $50k i spent on my manual Chevy SS sedan is well worth it as it has put a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Beard offering is a good sign

The challenge is going to be keeping NIL high for 2 years so that he can take legitimate swings. 

Revenue sharing takes care of this
won't that just set the floor for high major programs? Booster money will still be needed imo

The GF's parents rented a house on Marco Island for the month of February and I'm heading down the next week.

I'm bringing a collapsible fishing pole in my luggage and will you know what kind of fish you can catch off the back canal.
where on the island is the house? My parents Condo is on the south end and there definitely will be sheepshead and small snappers under the docks and have seen snook, sharks and tarpon swimming in the canals over the years but usually in the warmer months.

I suggests bringing a good real in addition to the collapsing rod as rentals house sometimes have shitty rods that you can will land plenty of fish when paired with a decent reel and good line.

It's on the eastern side of the island around 2'oclock. From some pictures I was sent over the weekend it looks like they already have some decent rods/reels at the rental house so I don't need to bring my rod.

Any recommendations on bait? I was going to bring a couple soft plastics combo's and spinner type lures plus whatever they already have there. I don't need anything crazy, just planning to wet some lines out in the backyard when there is downtime and see what I can catch.
i like to cast with 1/4 & 3/8 oz jigs with Gulp plastics and a chunk of live shrimp around docks but small hooks and bobbers like you are fishing for bluegill works best.  I believe Marco Island Bait Co. is the only place to buy live shrimp now and has a limited selection of tackle.
At a minimum I would bring some clear leader material (mono or fluorocarbon) with you or buy it at the bait shop or Sunshine Ace Hardware that is a few blocks up the street from the bait shop.  The barnacles on pilings are razor sharp.

I wonder what Snyders Politics were? I mean I'm pretty sure I can guess but I don't think he ever made any statements or support for one side or another.  The only PSA's I can remember him doing is the "Dont take random prescription drugs".

I would imagine I am at odds with most of the prominent coaches KSU has had since I was a Frosh in 97. Just entertain me. I don’t need them to inform any other part of life.

Shut up and scheme
strongly agree!  a trip to the FF justifies all in my book and every big time HC is an overly competitive bad person at a minimum

Which coaching hires in any sport over the past 20 years would you rank ahead of Andy Reid?
Saban was hired in 2007

it’s a tale as old as time. wife->kids->joco.
Probably so.  We’re going to try and stay in brookside area, but I’m doubtful.
My next door neighbor is 90+ and has advanced bone cancer and his wife is in nursing home. You can borrow my riding mower anytime you want, and in exchange all I ask is that you don’t call the HOA on me once a month like my neighbor has. Shawnee Mission South district.

But it, knock it down, yard extension, pool, hot tub, sauna.
not sure the ROI in SMS is there for all that

is there anyway i can screw up the hot water heater draining? Im worried im gonna F it up somehow.

Putting the hose outside seems like a big step.
if you are in a apt or condo and don't have a floor drain a shower or tub will work too

Can I get some posts in the chat about what you guys say during games?

Nothing?

Only encouragement?

I know it is bad and I only do it a bit but I do yell a few directions/cues for my kid during soccer.

Something like “get to the line!”
“Take him!”
“Drop early!”
“Pressure!”

Am I a monster? Probably.
i probably over compensated by cheering too loudly for the other kids the team, especially the ones i coached and all thru the elementary years.

the first 10 minutes last night were so bad i was searching up the box score of Wooly's Waterloo loss in Municipal to UMKC in 2003 (93-50 w/ 40-22 halftime) so it has been worse.

Is Chip Kelly going to jump back into another HC job?  Maybe he's waiting another cycle.

I feel like Chip is over the whole recruiting thing and just wants to run the X's/O's of a program and not spend the majority of his time catering to the whims of 18-22 year olds.
Maybe you're right.  Chip does seem legitimately different.  It seems like Oregon still mimics the quirky swagger his teams had, which is a testament to the uniqueness and efficacy of the culture he created there (unless I'm wrong and it started under Bellotti).
Bellotti turned it around and had some top10ish teams but they were still a tier below USC and Washington in the old PAC.  it was under Chip and allegedly paying recruits where they ascended to the top tier imo.

I agree with cf3. The quarter final round has the best bowl games and that round you really don't have to worry about fans taking back to back trips. It's the semi final round that's going to have abysmal attendance.
you are not joking, if ASU makes the semis they are back in Dallas on the second friday of January.  I would 100% be watching from home to save $, pto and spousal goodwill for a possible trip to the national title game.
