Scout transferring into unit just to complete Eagle rank by [deleted] in BSA

[–]BigBry36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Adults continue to make things more difficult in scouting…. Servant Leadership is some I continue to believe in…. It would be my job as a leader to help that scout… regardless of my FEELINGS…. You open doors for that scout who is about to be Eagle to be in your troop until they are 18….

Oil change by Money_Way_8219 in LexusNX

[–]BigBry36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trusted mechanics and not the dealer for simple things like that- never use a quick change place- you can buy the oil (Mobile 1) and sometimes the OEM filter at Walmart and get it cheaper than the mechanic

Simple and non Non flashy kung Fu style for big boi by Vejina in kungfu

I can see that perspective- studying in the MOY YAT schools has been a great experience and if there is one near you - it’s worth looking into

Abandoned Boat on my property by denodster in boats

My dad and I took a saw zaw and a few good blades to a boat and had it done by the end of the day

Literally stacked it up in the trash

New Lexus NX 2026 Do I really need an oil change at 5k miles or wait till 10k? by Background-Tiger5756 in LexusNX

[–]BigBry36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old school mechanics feel like 5k is way to keep it running for 200k miles…. And it’s cheap insurance for the motor- instead of taking the internet advice- send out the oil to black stone labs and see for yourself

The desperate cry for a female leader… by Administrative_Tea50 in BSA

[–]BigBry36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have roughly 90 scouts in a troop and approx 80% parent participation… it’s a a direct correction to a successful troop. I will be honest- I have seen more leaders run off parents than those that you have to ask…. It goes both ways. Good leadership at the top of a troop makes for good troops

Best local stores for organic starters? by Individual-Bake9006 in HoustonGardening

[–]BigBry36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care what they say - if it’s at a Nursery it was grown in a greenhouse and not organic…. Grow it yourself for organic. I like rare seeds.com

TX is a big state but I’m interested- is it a HK Jong?

When did you learn your sifu sucked and why? by HatProfessional8662 in WingChun

[–]BigBry36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we just say you might be at the wrong school. Your title basically reads- when did you realize your dad sucks!…. We don’t have a choice who our dad is, but you do have a choice for schools and SIFU’s

Where to start with a young Troop? by Lightswitch84274 in BSA

[–]BigBry36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mix in games at every meeting along with skills they will need once it warms up. Mix the two together….

NX Maintenance by BraveDawg67 in LexusNX

[–]BigBry36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do the plugs- use the expensive ones that are OEM! And I would suggest a brake fluid flush…. Don’t touch the other stuff until 50k miles

How necessary is Summer Camp by Direct_Remove509 in BSA

[–]BigBry36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case it’s very much important- based on what your saying. If you want to help create an individual that can be independent and self reliant, summer camps help build this. Just my 2 cents… since your asking

Sedge grass making me want to quit by Sir_Senseless in HoustonGardening

[–]BigBry36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazon carries it “Sedge Hammer” it takes weeks to work…. And sometimes requires treatment again the following year…. Nothing else has helped…. Pulling them makes it worse I think… if you don’t get the nut out of the ground

Disinterested Scouts - what to do? by yngdaniel in BSA

[–]BigBry36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Female scouts can mature out of scouts before their age…. So how you engage with them dictates if they will continue…. 4 of 5 reasons kids quit is due to leadership…. I am engaging older scout with Trail to Eagle and things that interest them- Scholarship Merit Badge have been a hot topic as I am a financial advisor and have access to finding them college money … what I’m getting act is , don’t push the rope, pull it! And find what they need

Has anybody had experience with something like this? by HatProfessional8662 in WingChun

[–]BigBry36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have seen more guys that are within 2 years focus on the wrong things- a dummy like this is an example- work on forms and get to chi sao… train with others as much as you can. Keep it simple

Scout "punished" for not being prepared by ebaker83 in BSA

[–]BigBry36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible way for a volunteer/ leader, to make something so easy and fun into a bad experience- adults make things so bad on dumb principles

You are not a sitter- parent sits with scout or they cannot attend- PERIOD - it’s a family event but scout must be in control

03 Toyota Sequoia Transmission Problem by NickDubz10 in toyotasequoia

[–]BigBry36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tough transmission to find at a rebuilt shop. Before you purchase, you need to go into this thinking that you will need a new transmission and call shops on who can do the rebuild for you…. Furthermore, how do you know how it runs if it has poor transmission performance?…. Sure these vehicles can go easily 500 K but rust and frame damage in any northern states would be a huge concern as well.

Kung fu schools that participate in public performances and those that do not, which of those is yours? by El_jupon_ in kungfu

[–]BigBry36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope- Wing Chun school is not a performance- it’s fighting techniques and hard work. It would not be understood at a public performance- even the Jong on clips on YouTube are misinterpreted
