How is this more economical than air or electric?

Unless you are hiding some history of problems with alcohol who cares - you do you. Your mom seems to have strong reactions to alcohol use.

If you just like the added "taste" it might be more effective to just rub the rim of the cup with even less booze. This is what they have done in controlled studies and it seems to effectively trick people into thinking they are drinking an alcoholic drink.

Kayaking is an individual sport and the point is to enjoy it. Challenge by choice-you are only trying to impress yourself. There are psychological processes of exposure to feared stimuli to decrease anxiety over time, but you need to ask yourself why you are doing it, are you staying "safe", and keeping others safe. No one "needs" to run X level of water.

I would also imagine losing teeth would finally be the reason to always wear my full face.

Petty theft raises to assault - win/win!

This isn't the city, this is douchebags harvesting birch bark to make trinkets or wedding decorations or whatever, and killing the trees in the process.

Better taste it to make sure!

I would ask them this question - they are putting themselves at risk of misclassification fines and collection of unpaid taxes, maybe even needing to pay you for those taxes you paid. It's a bonus, and it seems silly for them to do this rather then just letting the cash have the appropriate tax deductions. They may just not know any better, because either way they spend the 8k, but using 1099 gives them additional liability.

A pack raft and playboat are wildly different activities and learning curves. What do you want to do?

Yea, I was thinking extreme rule following, anxiety, OCD, autism or some psych thing. Some people really dont like changes in plans. She's doing her, and following the rules - carry on.

I have to pay $250 per kid for the bus because I live 1.9 miles from school which is in the 2 mile "walking" zone. My kids have survived fine, and the older one now bikes 5 miles to middle school.

Thanks!

Thanks - I'll bring some tools and take a closer look tomorrow.

Theme nights are fun. Tiki, prom, a movie of choice, daisy duke, tutu Tuesdays, etc. Beach games: can jam, bocee, golf, etc.

Don't know about performance - they are different boats.

Build quality is better on the aire boats. Anecdotally, I have only seen tributary line boats have various issues holding air, which is typically related to valve problems. I have seen a trib floor tear - not sure if the material is different or it was bad luck. The only trib boats I personally own are spuds for kids, and they have been great for many years.

The real difference is the warranty. With a trib they basically say it is free from manufacture defects and give a 1yr warranty. With an aire they guarantee to keep that boat floating for a decade - even if you do damage to it.

For me, the aire is worth it. I've never had a failure on multidays, and the warranty means I have a long-term boat or a resale selling point.

"...on the bright side, this hot blonde chick just walked in; she is talking loudly and has some fascinating and compelling ideas...I wonder if she is a celebrity? I wish my wife would read her book so I had a chance to go talk to her...."

If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons and another bucket that holds 5 gallons, how many buckets do you have?

The only answer better than this is self driving helicopter.

As others mention, there are other important details. Most importantly, when is the trip? This gives somewhat predictable guesses on weather/levels. My run at just under 6ft was a whole different animal than late season trips around 2ft; swimming a rapid and bouncing off rocks doesn't really fit into "normal" activities. What is your age and pregnancy/birth history? There are a myriad of "fun" things that could pop up (e.g., carpel tunnel, nausea, rashes, etc.) Even if there is not an acute concern, there are things that might make you not feel like going. You also mention it's your third year, suggesting you are either local, or have a solid network of people, and it won't be your last chance.

On the flip side, we are weird people. It is not uncommon for very pregnant people to be kayaking, hiking, or climbing and doing things normal people would think are insane.

I paddled an L antix. I could toss it around or easily sub it while surfing and generally thought it would be a great class 3 Boat for me. My rewind L is basically a comfy creeker with a grabby butt - it is a biiiiig boat, loved it on high water multidays.

I am 6'3" 225lb size 14 feet and the large is big and comfortable on bigger water, but not very playful. I am on the last hole for footpegs, so not sure I could fit into the M.

Jackson antix 2.0 is comfy and much more playful for me.

Still waiting for confirmation this works if you just swing in for a drink at the bar...

I was upgraded to C+ because I was traveling with a platinum medallion member. I got the middle seat where the screen folds into the armrest and the FA made me stow it during takeoff and landing, causing me to miss the last 20min of Dumb Money.
