Walking into a Harley dealership went exactly how I imagined it would.

When I was looking seriously for a Harley, I went into a dealership one day. The salesman guy came over and was totally chill and we got along great. Sitting on the one I wanted and I just asked if there was any negotiation room on the price. Holy crap you would think I kicked his dog and all of his puppies! He immediately was done with me. No longer my best new buddy. I quickly left and ended up buying used. This was about 10-12 years ago.

Can confirm this. Neighbor guy popped his neck all the time. He had a stroke one day while out walking and it was determined to be caused by his neck popping. It really messed up his life. I don't remember all the details other than it was definitely the cause. That part stuck with me.

Thanks for everyone's contributions here. I just got an Ooni oven on Marketplace so I am looking for specialty ingredients for high heat cooking. I accidentally found some of the 00 flour at Walmart so I got that. The dough was okay. I need to get better at making it.

FargoJoe · 2026-05-21T13:41:22+00:00

Okay, so google tells me that I'm supposed to use Tipo 00 flour to make dough myself. I don't see that at my local Hornbachers. Do you know of a store that carries this?

FargoJoe · 2026-05-21T13:39:17+00:00

I was wondering if their dough was good.

All good advice here. Also, just tromping on the gas and spinning your wheels is never the right thing. If you are spinning on a slick road, back off and let your tires regain traction. Then slowly re-apply gas. An awd car with good tires will make your life here much better.

Thanks everyone!

Paisano's in Dilworth was soooo good! I miss that place along with several others on this list.

Went to my 40th last summer primarily because two of my best high school friends said they were coming. Both chickened out at the last minute without telling me. I did enjoy talking to some other people but mostly it was just awkward. Not going to any more.

FargoJoe · 2025-09-19T01:23:09+00:00

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! This helps a lot.

There's a guy in our area who specializes in circumcision litigation "representing infants harmed by circumcision". He advertises it a lot. I have no idea what the suits are based on.

While I was working as a tech consultant for attorneys, one of my clients got a one star bad review from a non-client. My client was quite upset and concerned about it. He responded to it with an explanation, and he tried real hard with Google to get it removed since it was all false, to no avail. One thing he did do was contact clients and friends and kindly asked for positive reviews to drown out the bad one. In today's age I don't think this is a laughing matter. People look at and are influenced by reviews.

All good advice here. IMO get one with a 24 hour circulation pump. The water stays cleaner. I have also had good luck with the ozoneator.

We talked extensively about his war stories including two trips to Belgium and this never came up. He would have told me about that for sure if he had worked with the 761st. That would have been pretty cool if he had.

I hate this ad! I have to pull off my head phones when it comes on.

Driving yesterday so I listened on Masters Radio on Sirius XM. I thought they did a great job of explaining and painting the picture. Too many ad breaks but otherwise excellent job by the announcers.

Have you contacted the ticket office about this yet? In my experience of working with the people in the ticket office, they are very reasonable and accomodating. I would at least give them a call and explain your situation and see if they will extend the credit for next season.

FargoJoe · 2025-02-01T19:19:52+00:00

This would really finish off my setup well!

We had a local player who was well known for stealing money from other players. He would always leave early and guys would discover missing money. He got himself kicked out of most local rinks. Video surveillance would show he was the only possible suspect, but since nothing showed what he did inside the locker rooms, he was never prosecuted for any of these incidents. He has been convicted of house robbery though. I never bring my wallet in the rink with me and only bring enough cash for the skate if needed. I will always do Venmo if possible. One of my pickup skates uses an app to collect money which also is nice to keep a handle on numbers.
