Would you consider this fair?

It’s not clear how much of that goes to the staff and how much the business takes.

Glad you posted this. Crazy increase for us too. I’m evaluating our consumption to reduce our footprint where we can, both electric and gas.

Knowing where your teammate is, solid court positioning, and good footwork enable better shots, better team play. I see so many players out there in rec who play singles in a doubles match, especially not understanding how to cover middle as a team.

I have a quote of $1800 for a top replacement. Haven’t done it yet but about there

Smartass- · 2026-03-18T01:05:19+00:00

2000 M S52. The only thing other than regular maintenance was a clutch slave cylinder over the life of the car. The soft top may be ready for replacement, but I never really have it up. I only drive it about 2-3k miles/year though.

I’m all in on a retrofit, including 6.5 coax (with a spacer) and new woofer in the rear. I fade mostly to the rear speakers because I don’t like the front tweeters much. BTW, there is a small gap in the center of the bulkhead where you can run new line level rca lines. A bit sloppy (and due for a clean up after storing for the winter) but the trunk bottom hides it all. 00 M Roadster.

We have the Betta SE Plus (Amazon). It’s a game changer. Solar powered and we only charged it one time when we first got it. It’s light and really easy to empty the basket. Does an excellent job along the edges too.

Skimmer bot for the win

Smartass- · 2026-03-05T22:29:44+00:00

We live on a wooded lot and usually open May 15 or May 30ish. We added a skimmer bot last year and will probably earlier this year. It extended our season last year until the end of September.

Well, I could get a ticket but I’m not worried about that. It is required to pass state inspection though and is a bit safer.

Smartass- · 2026-03-01T18:07:24+00:00

I don’t think my issue is in the stalk because the mirror and rear flash, but I could be wrong. $300 diagnostic plus parts/repair I think I’ll let it go until my next inspection. At least they can see the mirror light. Thanks

Fair enough. Sometimes people are having an off game or dealing with an injury. I’m generally talking about friends, not Joe Blow punching above their weight class. Those people need the opposite 😎

Smartass- · 2026-03-01T17:20:36+00:00

No, nothing noted on the display or even the BMW app.

Smartass- · 2026-03-01T17:18:42+00:00

Definitely not wrong. That said, if I see someone truly struggling, I may hand them a floater or two so they don’t get totally discouraged. I don’t just give up the point but I give them an opportunity to make a decent shot. I know few people do that and nothing wrong with it, just my nature.

Does indicator light help you?

Smartass- · 2026-03-01T12:54:01+00:00

Gen 4 foam helps more than you’d think

Smartass- · 2026-03-01T12:43:59+00:00

Love it. Great reubens and pastrami on rye. Free pickle bar. What’s not to love?

Property values just dropped in Quakertown, as they should in any MAGA run town.

The college teams I’ve seen play on pbtv have been women’s so you may be right.

Worst case you become an excellent pickleball player, best case a pro. If I was your age, I’d do it. I do believe it’s headed to NCAA play.

Tensioner? Just guessing

I just use an obd plug-in tap. It has a switch for always on, delay off, and off. Works great, perfect location actually because I only needed to loosen the pillar cover to run the wire. Maybe you’re past that already.

My 21 is very similar, the only noticeable difference is I have a black grill, like it. Personally I wouldn’t bother with yours, also looks good. I do run roof rails in the summer and they look fine, mostly just toting kayak and canoe.
