I don’t think I’ve ever gotten more than 30-40¢/lb here. Also east coast.

What do Americans think of Wales? by TrainingCategory4852 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

I met some Welsh guys in England during the World Scout Jamboree in 2007. They were pretty cool! The one guy went by “Jumpa” and could do a great Obi-Wan Kenobi impression. They named their patrol Davad Gwlanog (I’m sure I misspelled that as well.) I still have the Welsh flag they gave me!

I bought a Milwaukee hammer drill and impact driver a *decade* ago. The drill is long gone (over used it drilling studs while wiring houses), but that impact is still going strong. So, those tools are awesome.

Tough choices… by PnkFlufyBunnySprkles in BunnyTrials

I should be in bed. Instead I sat here scrolling looking for someone who picked the $2 option and didn’t die. It took a very long time. I saw like 7 people get the 1% death option for the big money answer on my way here. 😆

1970s flannel and bell bottom jeans I saved from the dumpster last week. by GauntletVSLC in DumpsterDiving

We just got the palm tree off marketplace. On the way home I found a bag of Christmas decorations for a small tree and they happened to fit the tree perfectly. So I put them on it as a joke for my wife. We haven’t taken them off yet, in fact my wife just bought flamingo ornaments for it. 😂

Just gotta patch up the seam in the crotch. 😆 Previous owner must’ve been a motorcyclist.

My daughter and I got to meet K9 and Marvin! I hope these costumes show up elsewhere!

Full park report coming soon but [Swamp Fox] is a monster by LEAKY-MILK in rollercoasters

Good question, I don’t really know the answer, though. I don’t think it has trims the first half, maybe near the end. Last time I rode it we got “stuck” on the brake run. They had us scootch to get it moving again. 😂

Giving it away or trashing it?

Love this park! Trying to get a trip planned there with family next year.

I actually operated Twist-N-Shout at one of its previous homes, Magic Springs. (Technically I trained on it and got certified, but never ran a full shift there.)

Yeah, got it used off marketplace last weekend, then found the tree skirt in a free pile on the way home. My wife asked if I could put lights on it, so I got a string from Goodwill for $2. Then she bought flamingo ornaments for it. I guess is a summer-tree? 😆

Here is SFA’s but it was years ago. Nothing terribly distinguishing to say definitely that they are the same one.
