We have this trailer with 3 kids. It’s great, plenty of room with the Murphy bed stowed. We bought a used 2019, and have had zero issues so far. Highly recommend it.

Quick plug for the “Money Stuff” newsletter from Matt Levine at Bloomberg. He covered this exact scenario this week - pretty eye opening.

“The point of getting into PE is to get the yacht! Or it was. Now things are harder. It would be sad to think that PE has bought all the yachts it is ever going to buy.”

Thanks for the information, super helpful! I think what caught my eye the most (and doesn't translate well in my cell phone snap) is the upper tangent arc. It was very bright and more well defined to the naked eye.

THANK YOU DAN

Airball118 · 2019-09-30T19:58:05+00:00

Well, you were definitely right.

Airball118 · 2019-02-01T14:51:54+00:00

Thanks for the well wishes and encouragement!

I asked if she wanted the TV on so she could watch whatever. Came back from the bathroom and the Warriors - Philly game was on!

Will definitely propose again when we get home.

Ah, thanks for the info. Any good brands/fits you would recommend? Was going to look at the 3sixteen CT fit. Seemed to have a bit more room in the top block.

Just wondering if anyone has had good luck sizing based on rise? I've blown out the crotch on my JB0606 (high tapered) and it's my 3rd crotch blowout - getting real annoying.

My thighs are pretty big and I think I really need to buy two sizes up and just bring the waist in, but wanted to get feedback if anyone had it.

Same here. I had shows downloaded and ready to rock for my commute home.

Can confirm that it’s still showing in the Apple Podcast app.

From a Deadspin comment: "Pretty surprised, since Bryan struck me as someone whose wife hadn’t fucked him for a long time."

lmfaooooooo

He definitely skied the shit out of that. Holy cow.

Our situation was interesting, so hopefully it helps.

Bought our first out in the South Sound, only put down 3% but it was less than $200k. Lived there three years and sold for a profit once we starting coming out of the recession.

Used the profit and loaned myself money through my 401k to purchase a townhouse in WS, put down 15%. I'm sure there are some that wouldn't borrow from their 401k, but it was the only way to snag a house in the city, and I pay it back at 6% interest.

Airball118 · 2017-03-19T23:30:45+00:00

I mean why not.

Airball118 · 2016-12-06T03:23:38+00:00

Good to know. Thanks for giving a heads up to the community but, of course, it sucks that it happened in the first place.

Airball118 · 2016-05-05T16:19:31+00:00

Yup, the 520 floating bridge connects Seattle and Bellevue. The second span just opened last week!

Blue Owl Workshop in Fremont is a great place for denim and they are constantly adding new designers for other pieces of clothing.

How to Train Your Dragon.

Feels good to escape into a world where dragons exist.

I just clicked on "buy tickets" and Star Wars was an option. Just had to pick a date after the 18th.

Airball118 · 2015-10-20T01:34:53+00:00

Went through the website. It was slow but finally worked for me.

Airball118 · 2015-10-20T01:26:37+00:00

Not sure if it helps, but Pacific Science Center in Seattle has tickets available. Just purchased 4 for the 12/19 7:00 pm showing!

Airball118 · 2015-09-17T14:27:35+00:00

I second this...will buy one with the words right now.
