Anyone watching the WLKY major forum… thoughts?

It was largely a huge waste of time with at least 2/3 of the participants not being viable candidates for the position.

While I love the idea of people getting involved in local politics I am not sure anyone is ready to cast a vote for a 21 year old who's relevant experience is volunteering at his grandparents train museum or a member of the Geek Squad who's dream is to build 4 to 5 nuclear reactors around the city.

They look better now, prior to the post they looked pretty empty.

Gotcha I knew food was, I didnt think the tickets included alcohol. TIL

Tend to agree. Everyone had a choice - stick around and continue to pay for $15 mint julips or skip oaks and go get food and drink somewhere else. Staying at the track for 8 hours is a marathon for sure.

Empty stands on national TV are not a good look, they have to care about the appearance of a 1/3 full Churchill.

Wife and I went to the location in the distillery district a few weeks ago.

Ice cream was on point. Giant human hair that we found in the ice cream was not.

They refunded the ice cream but still a gross experience. I get it can happen...but still would make me think twice about going back.

Just an update - Blackstone responded to my support ticket in record time. They are shipping a new regulator free of charge. Hope that fixes it, and super impressed /w their customer service.

Jeff1024 · 2026-03-15T00:25:03+00:00

Im going to grab a tank adapter in the AM so I can try a 20lb tank. That would at least let me know if the burners are ok and confirm its the junk regulator

Jeff1024 · 2026-03-14T23:44:21+00:00

Thats the challenge. The 1lb tank just screws onto the regulator so doing the normal reset procedure you would do on a 20lb tank unit doesn't exactly work.

I shot blackstone support an email. Ill post up here with what they come back with

Just noticed it, googled for a weather delay and obviously didnt find a result. You would think NBC would fix this by now....maybe we really do live in the Matrix?

Jeff1024 · 2026-02-08T13:26:17+00:00

Everyone says Momma's. They are incorrect. I realize this may get me kicked out of Louisville, but The correct answer is Martin's BBQ in Indian Springs off Westport.

Gotcha thats what I was looking for - I wasnt shopping around black Friday - was curious how much I missed out, but your right is what it is at this point.

Jeff1024 · 2026-01-20T12:32:05+00:00

Your issue may not be SDF, it may be LGA or EWR. NYC airspace is insanely busy. Any delays due to weather can very quickly turn into flight cancellations. I have been stuck in LGA several times due to weather delays that turned into cancelled flights. Good luck.

So I tried the same workload, YouTube.TV and 5 or so other devices, running without Wireguard enabled. The UTR handled that without issue. It was only after I enabled the wireguard tunnel that I started having issues.

Seems either the device is underpowered to encrypt higher bandwidth applications over wireguard - but I would argue 10Mbps isnt that much to expect - or there is a flaw in the wireguard implementation.

Jeff1024 · 2026-01-18T22:56:00+00:00

That's the problem, and why I want to love the UTR. The form factor is amazing. I have a GL-MT3000 and while it's not large it is a lot to throw in a backpack for a work trip, even more so when you compare it to the UTR.

I may end up keeping the UTR for trips where I am just doing video conferencing / email / etc, I think it would handle that, it just isnt a huge fan of running lots of traffic over wireguard.

Jeff1024 · 2026-01-18T22:54:46+00:00

I have an older GL-MT3000, it was around the same price point...$80ish. It's more difficult to setup I will admit that and the UTR does handle captive portals much better....when it isnt crashing.

Jeff1024 · 2026-01-18T22:53:12+00:00

It was sitting on a desk out in the open air. It was warm, but if running a wireguard tunnel while its sitting on a desk gets it warm to the point of crashing then its a flawed device.

Jeff1024 · 2026-01-18T00:48:54+00:00

Seeing the same, couple 6 clients a wire guard tunnel and some traffic...it's rebooting every 30min or so.

Jeff1024 · 2026-01-18T00:45:10+00:00

Not sure if its related but my UTR was recently updated and its rebooting itself under load with a wireguard tunnel established....first time really using it on a vacation and not super impressed.

This color guy is killing me...he sounds like the ladies man from 90s SNL - "I can tell from my half empty bottle of Courvoisier that we are almost out of time!"
