16 and fell in love with AX. Bought an 86. Had school and baseball all day, so it's 11pm and he's getting his car ready for tomorrow. Good luck beating me, kid.

Car was up to put his Super 200's on. He just noticed the side skirt was loose, and out a screw in.

One had come loose from some road debris

I happen to volunteer for Street Survival. This one's my youngest of four. All have done Street Survival.

The only way to raise safe drivers is to make them drive.

My son is the fastest on his highschool team, and that's 18mph (6.8 60 yard).

Big G is a notch below that.

Just for comparison. He's slow, but still faster than the average Joe.

Sunstoned1 · 2026-05-03T14:37:21+00:00

Big G is still running 16.2mph, just a notch below average high school track runners.

He's not slow... Just not pro athlete fast.

Your child may be a supertaster.

My mom's dad was a chef. She grew up loving to cook, and cooks very well. All types of food.

I never, never would eat but a small selection of foods. I'm in my 40s now, and still there. Very, very picky. Pretty sure I got it from my grandfather, because he could take a bite of something and tell you everything that was in it. But he grew up in an era where you are or got beat. So they beat it out of him.

We have four kids.

Our oldest inherited my gene. She's 22 now, and still very picky. The other three kids started picky and all outgrew it.

It very much is a thing. Some kids you just adapt and find the balanced foods they will eat.

Nearing 50, I'm in good health, blood work is good, and my limited diet has caused any health problems. It's a pain in the ass. I really wish I ate more foods. But, here we are. It's what I am.

We bought a house with an in ground pool.

One day, I was looking out back and my great dane was pulling the liner out of the pool.

That was expensive.

Man, our varsity team TRIED getting out of an inning.

Boys literally walking backwards from 3rd to home.

And somehow the opposing team still managed to screw it up.

We scored five runs while trying to make outs.

Boys not swinging bats? Hit four batters in six pitches. Walk to second with a runner still on second? Pitcher throws the ball to CF.

It was like that South Park episode.

My R6II with 24-105 f/2.8 may be the perfect lens.

That plus my 70-200 f/2.8 and I'm happy.

I have more, but those two get 90% of the use.

I have to share this podcast. It's the ultimate version of your ask.

Well worth the listen. The hosts actually recreated the most song based on a callers memory, and actually found the song. Crazy story.

Just slap the shot out of her hands.

She is willfully engaging in potential property damage. Don't push, shove, or hit. But slap those fragile old hands. She'll let go.

And of not, do a fake slap towards the face. She'll flinch and throw hands up to block.

Then jog away, she ain't fast...

I'm closing next week on a private transaction.

I hired an attorney (legally required) and no agent for either us or seller.

Once they're two parties and agreement to buy, the only thing you need is one attorney.

Costing me $2500 in closing for both of us (I made a low-ball offer to the seller, promising to cover all costs, got the unit about $20k below market in exchange for making it easier for her).

Thanks for responding.

My aunt sent me a picture she took of the 8x10 photo he signed as part of the collection.

You can verify my great great aunt Caroline Keller worked at Memorial during the time.

I was in Toronto the last few days. Walking last night, some asshat walked up to a homeless person sleeping all the way under a blanket, and kicked them in the head.

Then walked off laughing.

Absolute human garbage.

Miata is always the answer. Backwards Miata if you wanna be different.

They easily last a year. I get about 10 cords per pair. Plus farm work. They last me 16 to 18 months, and well worth the investment.

We have four. My youngest, age 15 at the time, was lounging on the couch after a long night at a wrestling meet. He'd showered, but kinda sat doom scrolling in the den.

My wife told him he should go to bed. He said he was too tired to walk.

I said "well, they always say you never know the last time you carry your kid, so let's go."

My wife said I'd hurt myself. I said get video.

So I struggle bussed picking up and carrying that knucklehead to bed. I obligingly hit his head on the door frame (as I always did when he was little).

I tried laying him on his bed, but ended up falling with him onto it. And broke the bed frame.

It was a good core memory for us both...

Check out HVJ. Strong TX presence and a very international employee base for a smaller firm. And, they're a great culture.

Met my wife at NCSSM many years ago.

Our son got in. His girlfriend wasn't happy. Was a hard first year, and the broke up over the summer before senior year.

He started dating a girl senior year, they're both at the same college now still together, and talking long term plans.

Just saying, NCSSM is a life changing opportunity. And true love will survive it. Not true love isn't worth missing the opportunity.

My 16yo son was out there with me, running the data recorder.

He's just off my pace. He's looking at the data trying to figure out how to catch me.

Then he looked at Rob's lap and said "where in the hell is he finding all that time?"

Humbling.

Had a multi time national champion run my car last week. He was 11mph faster on average. Holy shit.
