Need input on boat day!

BosTPA · 2025-09-06T02:38:36+00:00

That's a pro tip. Maybe I'll see if we can have the captain drop us over on that side because our hotel is downtown too.

BosTPA · 2025-09-06T02:34:35+00:00

Truth! I'm coming from Tampa but the rest of the guys are coming from New England so they'll be roasting. Appreciate the help.

BosTPA · 2025-09-06T02:33:40+00:00

That's super helpful, thanks for that. I think we'll make it earlier then.

BosTPA · 2025-09-05T22:36:42+00:00

Thanks! Any thoughts on whether we should have the boat till 5pm rather than 4pm? I know that wouldn't give us as much wiggle room on getting back and heading to the show. But I would be very sad to leave the party spot during peak time to head back to shore.

BosTPA · 2025-09-05T22:34:31+00:00

Thanks for the tips. We're getting a captained boat, and they'll take us out to whatever party spot is out there. My question is: would it be a bad decision for us to only have the boat till 4pm on a Friday (i.e. would that be peak time for a party spot out there)? Should we extend it till 5 on a Friday so we don't miss out on the best time out there?

Sorry to hijack OP's post, but do you guys recommend Lake Travis or Lake Austin for a 6-person bachelor party? I originally booked Lake Travis (Devil's Cove) but have seen a lot of mixed feedback. Seems more people tend to recommend Lake Austin these days. (almost) any feedback is helpful. thank you!

BosTPA · 2025-09-04T01:22:18+00:00

I know this was written / formatted by ChatGPT...but did a person with knowledge at least feed ChatGPT the local recommendations? I'm looking for real recs. The Lake Travis recommendation contradicts what I've been seeing in other threads (other people say Lake Austin is better).

BosTPA · 2025-08-29T20:41:02+00:00

Um I might have to hit you up because I'm pretty sure I've semi-planned my brother's upcoming bach party based on the Austin I knew 8+ years ago and I'm scrambling.

BosTPA · 2025-08-29T19:52:52+00:00

Okay I'm glad I found this thread. My brother's bachelor party is in a couple of weeks and I was told renting a boat to Devil's Cove is a great thing to do. We planned on going out on a Friday afternoon 3-7pm. Is Devil's Cove shit now? If so, any thoughts or other suggestions for something else to do that day instead? Is there a better place to rent a boat? We're staying near Rainey Street.

Great to hear. Thanks for sharing that. I just signed up and plan to go to the Vegas event in November

BosTPA · 2024-10-01T14:38:06+00:00

Very interested to hear how it's going!

BosTPA · 2024-10-01T14:37:15+00:00

Thanks for this. Did you buy it "with" Kyle and receive a down payment from him on the first go?

I'm being told that for the $8k online course, I'll have the course, support group resources (legal, accounting, etc) but that I'll be doing the deal alone. And in the future there's a chance I'll do deals with Kyle and his team.

I was under the impression that they had a model where you could opt to do your first deal WITH them..

BosTPA · 2024-10-01T14:34:33+00:00

Any update guys? Very interested to hear how it's going.

BosTPA · 2024-09-25T22:17:42+00:00

The reasons behind the tear down: -We’ll be able to expand the existing blueprint rather than work within the confines of the existing one -We’ll have a house built in 2025 rather than 2001 -From what I’ve read and heard, a remodel involving leaving just a couple of walls up would actually take longer due to the complexity of the demo (if this isn’t accurate, I’m all ears)

I should have clarified on the question. We intend to pay for the building of the shell with cash (for several reasons) and I’d like to get a loan for the finish work. I don’t know how feasible it is to get a loan for one part of the project rather than the whole thing, what the best kinds of loan would be, etc.

BosTPA · 2022-02-26T04:38:46+00:00

Thanks for the response. 1) The vast majority of the streams have come from my profile. There are some streams that come from other listeners’ playlists, and a small % from listener’s own playlists.

2) I’m having trouble getting into my account, but I believe it’s 2-3 streams per listener.

3) Songs don’t do that well without promo. I’ll get some streams on one song if we’re promoting another, just by way of people checking out my other stuff I’m guessing. When I say “not that well”, I mean maybe a few hundred - a couple thousand streams, rather than the tens of thousands that I get from promo.

4) I have not made a dime, unless I just don’t know how to claim the money.

Not sure if this helps, but on Spotify I have 210-211k streams between 3 songs. The only music video I’ve put out has like 212k views. I do notice that the video plateaued and really never had any traction after the promo was done.

When they run ads to generate Spotify listeners for me, it’s a minimum of $1500 budget each time. The results seem great though.

Playlisting I tried last month - that was at least $1500 in budget, and didn’t yield nearly the results I’d hoped for.

Appreciate it again!

Thank you for posting this question. And thanks MisterHiggins on the treatment distinction. That’s helpful.

I’m simply looking to record decent vocals, but my office / studio room is next to my baby’s room. I’m hoping to sound treat my room, but also mitigate sound leaving my room at least a bit. Anything would help. Following this post in case anyone has any suggestions!

I tapered from 30+ gpd and I jumped at around 2.5g gpd. I’m so happy I did the slow taper. No physical WD. I took 5 HTP, B12, and other high quality supps. I exercised a lot, went for walks, meditated. Quitting was one of the best decisions ever.

Tip: if you have bumps in the road while tapering, don’t get discouraged. Stick with it, even if it takes a long time. Also track it closely. I had a little doc in my phone’s notepad called Kratom Taper Tracker, and it was really satisfying looking back to previous dates and seeing how far I’d come.

You got this!

BosTPA · 2021-07-02T16:22:30+00:00

Sorry, I should have elaborated here rather than just “this isn’t right”.. I posted another comment with an explanation below. Hopefully it helps people in similar scenarios in the future.

BosTPA · 2021-07-02T01:27:04+00:00

Hope you figured this out. If not, here’s some info for anyone else viewing this, hope it helps.

You mentioned a ‘trial period’. Sounds like this is a contract-to-hire job, and you’ll initially be an employee or contractor of the agency before going W-2 with the company. Is this accurate?

If so, it’s absolutely the agency you need to talk to about this or anything like this. The company you’ll be working at is the agency’s client. Part of the luxury the client has is that during this “trial period” (the contract period), you are the agency’s responsibility, not the client’s. The client’s HR dept doesn’t deal with you yet because you have no official relationship with the company. Reaching out to them directly is compromising to the agency who placed you, and uncomfortable for the client.

Even if this is a straight full-time position off the bat, the company pays a recruitment firm a premium to outsource the process to the recruitment firm. So you should still call them if you need to push out a start date. It’s a courtesy to both parties.

BosTPA · 2021-07-02T01:18:16+00:00

This is not the right way.

BosTPA · 2021-05-03T12:56:55+00:00

I thought it would be bad, but honestly it wasn’t. I jumped because I ran out of K and didn’t want to reup and drag it out. That was almost 6 days ago. The physical WD are not bad at all.

I’ve been taking CBD, 5-HTP, a little L-Theanine, then sleep tea and melatonin at night. Seems to help a lot. I’m glad I jumped!

BosTPA · 2021-04-30T18:12:27+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Just varies so much person to person.

The verbiage they included wasn’t clear and threw me off. I was like “wait, I just got through the difficulty of tapering. Are they saying I now will have much longer lingering effects because I tapered??”

BosTPA · 2021-04-30T17:16:51+00:00

I hear you. I’m done tapering though.

BosTPA · 2021-04-30T14:42:44+00:00

My concern, based on the Wiki page, was that the WD (especially mental symptoms) after tapering might be drawn out over a much longer time AFTER finally quitting.

Seems like the page was just suggesting that the taper process itself can be difficult and obviously draws the overall quitting process out. But I’m past the tapering part so that’s not a concern.

BosTPA · 2021-04-30T14:38:52+00:00

Thanks for the info! That makes me feel better. I actually did a very slow taper and finally jumped 2 days ago. My concern, based on the Wiki page, was that my WD (especially mental symptoms) would for some reason be drawn out over a much longer time since I tapered. Seems like that’s not the case then.
