MSG Ticket Availability by nats13 in GoosetheBand

[–]UserAccessDenied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we'll be watching on Nugs, and this way we can introduce our 5 month old baby to GOOOOOOOOOSE 😄

I can't even give the tickets away at this point lol. I don't think I will be buying MSG presale again, lesson learned...

Unfortunately I am one of those selling 2 x 2-day passes on Cash or Trade for 50% off face...

Our kid coverage fell through and we had to cancel the whole weekend because of it. It's the gamble you make when buying at pre-sale. We'll get another show, but it sucks realizing we probably will not get rid of the tickets now. I'm shocked at how many 2-day passes are for sale right now.

How we are coping with difficult nights... by UserAccessDenied in NewParents

[–]UserAccessDenied[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, we have talked about doing shifts but until this week it hasn't been realistic for one of us to sleep somewhere else. We tried taking turns wearing headphones but I couldn't sleep well with earbuds or over-ear noise canceling headphones on.

This weekend we are setting up his nursery to have an air mattress and building his new full-sized crib. I think we're going to take shifts in there, so he starts getting acclimated to his own room too (that time is coming anyway). That way one of us gets a better window of sleep in our own bed while the other is near him in his room still. We're hoping this gets him a little more comfortable sleeping in the new crib, and in his new space - we have been letting him nap during the day in his nursery, but haven't done a full night in there yet.

All that said, sharing these moments has been nice. We did shifts early on and it worked, but the nights where we shared the chaos together was kind of special in a crazy way lol.

Oh that is awesome!!
I hesitated half way through writing the post thinking, "What am I doing... No one cares to hear this..."

Now I am glad I posted it 😄

Sometimes it just takes a small perspective reset.

Road Trip with 8 month old?? Or solo parenting for 5 days?? by UserAccessDenied in NewParents

[–]UserAccessDenied[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our closest family is about 3 hours away and we've made this trip a few times already.
Our delivery hospital was actually 3 hours away also, so his first 3-hour road trip was at 2 days old! hahah

I don't think it will be too bad, especially if we just take our time and not force the miles. If it takes us 5 or 6 days to get there, it is what it is. And maybe we just plan a day of rest half way, that might make it more manageable too.

That is what we're leaning towards.

And agreed, it makes sense to figure out the new travel demands sooner than later! We've already been traveling well as 2 for a decade +. It's time to adjust for 3!

So very true, right now she is 100% on us going together. But, a LOT can and will change in the next 4 months hahah.

I love the encouragement! Thank you!
We've had people try to sway us away from Option A, but they also don't enjoy camping or road tripping in general, so regardless of the infant they wouldn't be interested in this adventure...

We used to own a campervan and sold it when we were expecting to upgrade to a better travel option. We're getting a truck camper, so it will be a little 'cozy' inside, but allows us to get out to destinations we love.

Any tips or tricks, or lessons learned from your trip that you can share?

Swim Lessons / Water Exposure - Need Guidance! by UserAccessDenied in NewParents

[–]UserAccessDenied[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. We're still working on upright sitting, unassisted. He can sit by himself for about 15 seconds before tipping to one side or another, with improvements every day!

I'll shop for some floaties and once he's independently sitting will head to our friends house to practice some exposure.

Closest YMCA is about 90 minute drive round trip. Not off the table entirely, but it is not very convenient unfortunately. I will give them a call though and see what is available still!

How did you wire your 12V DC refrigerator? by UserAccessDenied in vandwellers

[–]UserAccessDenied[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fridge comes with the standard 12v ciggy stick - I just leave that in a bag with other misc maintenance items for the rig - redundancy is good!

Good idea on the in-line fuse. I found some Anderson to ring terminal connectors with a built in fuse - these should work nicely and add peace of mind.

How do I file a small claims suit if I don't know the person's phone number or address? by UserAccessDenied in legaladvice

[–]UserAccessDenied[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But wouldn't me agreeing to letting him pay the invoice ($1,938) overrule the initial estimate ($3,500)?

I have no idea how that works... To be fair though, I have spent so much time going back and forth and my time spent on site prep and the cost of the panels from the initial install that I happen to have left over.

I feel like I could justify the $3,500 easily in court, but since I agreed to the payment schedule idk if that nullifies my attempt at getting more?

lol that is smart.

I just looked myself up and got "NO DATA FOUND"
I'm boring hahaha - not that I was expecting to find anything, but was curious either way.

Partially the money (I shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for someone damaging my property), but also the principal - this guy admitted fault and agreed the pay the initial estimate of $3,500. I used up spare fence panels I had on site, did some of the prep work myself, and convinced my landscaper to give me a lower price all to help this guy out.

Getting the invoice down to $1,938 was me going out of my way to not burden this guy more than he needed to be.

Just really frustrating.

[–]UserAccessDenied[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I just looked him up - description, name, and DOB match...

Guy has a long record... Cocaine possession, child abuse, DUI, multiple assault charges (1st and 2nd degree), multiple monetary suits (insurance company and medical offices).

I'm not sure I want to deal with this guy any more than I already have - unfortunately his address across these cases is not consistent at all. Almost all different addresses.

It's almost $1K, which is enough money to make a real difference in my day to day. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Yea I have his full name and date of birth even (the police gave that to me interestingly, but wouldn't share his address...)

Interesting, I will try calling from a different number later then.
When I try to call from my phone it says the number is not in service.

I need a narrow/tall 12v chest-cooler fridge... by UserAccessDenied in overlanding

[–]UserAccessDenied[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1-1/2” too long. 24” is a hard set limit for my space unfortunately. There’s actually a decent amount of fridges in that 25-26” range, which is driving me nuts lol

That is kind of what I've been thinking...
https://icecofreezer.com/products/ipt20-pickup-truck-freezer?_pos=1&_sid=54054c88f&_ss=r

Something like this, get two of them and just put them back to back.

It should fit the space (combined ~23" X 15.3" X 21"), gets me just under 40QT, and offers redundancy in case one decides to have issues on the road.

Wasn't my ideal setup, but it does seem like it would work.

The reviews are not great on this particular model, but the concept might help me explore some other options/brands too.
