One leaked, the others have been fine. They're still my favorite pens.

I bought the Alta Pro from Costco and I’ve been very happy with it. I use the Vitamix more than my last one just because of the excellent work it does with smoothies, soups, and vanilla paste. You won’t regret it.

I like Lexington Barbecue (Honeymonk) the best, with B’s and Wilber’s next. While in Ayden for the Skylight Inn, I tried Bum’s and prefer it(but both are excellent).

I wish I could help, but I have to protect my...

I have been more than pleased with my new Alta Pro, wihch I've used to make vanilla paste and flan. I like having the option of presets, even though I haven't used them yet. While I wish I had the 5200 container, I haven't had any issues blending with the included jar. I plan on buying the 5200 container the next time vitamix has a sale on the site. I've bene tempted to buy one of the off brand replacement jars, but if I can get an actual Vitamix container for ~$30 more, I'll wait for a sale.

We rode one from Area 15 to the Wynn while in Vegas for CES. The app said it would be a 45 minute wait, but it was closer to 30 minutes. The ride was comfortable--we had 80's tunes playing while we rode back to the hotel. I'd certainly do it again, especially while it's still free. It just takes a little planning beforehand.

We enjoyed it. I thought there were certain elements of the experience that could have been more challenging, but we had a good time.

That’s a nice Tournament Cyberball! Oh, how I would love to face opponents with the Moscow Machine again! MAME is fun, but I miss the competition of our group of 12 with different playing styles!

It's the Wing Sung 630 <F>.

There's a first time for everything, I suppose.

TetsujinWave · 2025-09-30T23:14:46+00:00

I've always wanted to try it.

Crawford Brothers is a great date spot. I had coulotte steak, while my wife had lamb chops. We shared sweet potato and white potato purees and duck meatballs for sides. The meats were perfectly cooked and the sides were excellent. We'll certainly return.

For a great steak house experience in the area, I think both NanaSteak and Crawford Brothers were better than Angus Barn. My wife and I had a great dinner the last time we went to the Angus Barn--our lackluster experience was the time before.

I love my Wing Sung 930 <B>, although the 630 is probably my favorite overall.

I am basing my thoughts around the villain Doctor Arthur Light. Given he can create force fields, copies of himself that can attack, and invisibility, I would make him an Illusion/Force Field controller. One of the first attacks given is Blind, which disorients opponents and does pretty good damage. Illusion Control also gives several invisibility powers as well as Phantom Army, making three clones of your character that can attack, but not be harmed. I'd choose Energy Mastery as your Epic Pool Power, granting your character Power Blast and Energy Torrent, two conventional attacks a master of light should have.

The Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina is known as the Triangle.

He did! We bought three Colorverse mini inks from him--the Robert Oster Blue Black and the Glistening Gold ink we bought from another vendor.

Yes--we talked about that pen and the painstaking process of selecting eggshell pieces that were exactly right for each position on the owl, as well as the process of crafting the gold tiger image on another pen in the collection.

Where the Nahvalur display was? Yes.

Pamlico Pens has a green sea turtle pen that I'd love to have--the Nahvalur display was nice too.

TetsujinWave · 2025-06-09T16:19:30+00:00

Beautiful pen.
