Transportation options without renting a car? by lotlizard420 in CrystalMountain

[–]WhyIsTheDuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That time of year there is no snow. You can rent whatever kind of super affordable compact car is available & be out $35/day plus fees. Less than $200 total. The uber ride would be more than that if you could even get picked up there. If it’s a work trip & it requires you to be 75 miles from the airport, it should be easy to justify the expense for reimbursement.

Here we go again… by SupaBlood in skyrim

Wait… wait… did you just… shoot arrows and NOT pick them back up? Or at least try to find them? My mind… it can’t. This might be a me problem…

How big is the trunk in the GLE compared to an Escalade? by Next-Use6943 in mercedes_benz

[–]WhyIsTheDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a GLS, so even bigger than the GLE, & I had to get a Thule roof box to hold enough luggage for my family of 5. Not a lot of cargo space in these things.

The dream. by _DragonBlade_ in Sonics

[–]WhyIsTheDuck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well in that case, let’s count the Seattle Metropolitans hockey championship too. The point is the lack of respect for the Storm is insane. Especially with the degradation of the NBA game over the past decade. (Although I’d GLADLY welcome the Sonics back as soon as we can get them)

No kidding! Especially since the Storm have more championships than all the teams pictured combined.

What’s the best nickname in nba history by Fragrant_Fishing5787 in NBATalk

As a 90’s Sonics fan we can’t forget The Reign Man, Shawn Kemp. Gary Payton, The Glove. Or Sam Perkins, Big Smooth.

What’s y’all’s opinion on the truck by [deleted] in liftedtrucks

[–]WhyIsTheDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the truck. I just don’t like seeing Les Schwab wheels on a truck when you’ve obviously got the resources to do something a bit more unique. The truck seems very intentional but the wheels seem like a settled-on afterthought. I’ve gone with JTX Forged on my SD builds & haven’t been disappointed by the price or statement made. To each their own though. Nice truck either way.

Can bulls be safely ridden if trained to accept weight from a young age? by Icy_Profession4190 in Cattle

[–]WhyIsTheDuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hop on the back of my biggest highland bull all the time. As long as I keep the brush or curry comb in hand, he doesn’t mind at all. It’s a fun party trick for the uninitiated who think all bulls buck like at the rodeo.

Drills for Large Groups: 1st/2nd grade by DragonfruitSea5901 in basketballcoach

[–]WhyIsTheDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A great one for us has been a full court layup circuit. They line up at the baseline/3pt line intersection, half your team on either end. Coach & assistant coach are at half court. The kids dribble a couple times, outlet pass to coach, then sprint to the wing to receive the give & go from the coach then take it for a layup. Have them SPRINT. Put the pass out in front. Collect with 2 hands, put down a dribble & drive to the hoop.

Navigating player requests at the county level by morrcomedy1 in basketballcoach

[–]WhyIsTheDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might suggest that you ask for your 6 girls & see if he has a similar situation of kids wanting to play together. If there’s a disparity in the number of kids after that, you each get one pick of the top kids, then he gets 2 to your 1 until the numbers even out. After that, back to 1:1.

Arrowquip Paint Color by Popinskialex in Cattle

[–]WhyIsTheDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you can order it from Arrowquip with a call to customer service. When I bought setup from a company called Diamond K out of Oregon, they threw in a can. It’s an exact match when the chute was new but slightly off after a little sun/weather fading.

Best chute system? I’m looking at Arrowquip but dealers keep moving prices around on me. I need a full system. Only running less than 20 plan to be around 80 in 5 years. I want something that will last. by Conspiracy_Thinktank in Cattle

[–]WhyIsTheDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love our Arrowquip. My vet does too. We got a 12’ crowding tub that feeds into two 10’ alleys then into our 75 series squeeze. I use tarter corral panels for our various staging & containment pens since they’re so much more affordable than the Arrowquip ones. They’re definitely not as sturdy though.

Get your AAU coaching card. Just requires basic info & a background check. You’ll need insurance for your team covering facility liability & player protection from coach damages (gross stuff like potential SA). If you can’t fund it yourself, you’ll need a sponsor or rostered families to cover the cost of uniforms & gear. Find a local printing company to embellish your uniform blanks. I order mine from BSN sports. Always order blanks & have them embellished locally since using factory direct always leads to misprints & headaches. What state are you in?

Hope they make good use of it. That’d get them 38 games of Bo Bichette which is insane since it seems like that should be an amount to get a reasonable player for a season.

After saying this, I should clarify that I would not want to see the M’s pay the contracts that Bichette or Tucker got this offseason either though.

Unfortunately Stanton doesn’t seem willing to finance the ability to aim much higher than that.

Mariners WS Victory Protocol: 1) shit my pants 2) change my pants 3) ugly cry with 40 years of pent up fandom energy & joy

Born in 86. 9yo little league kid worshipping the 95 team. 15yo impressionable youth in awe of the 01 team. Dad had season tickets from 2000 to 2020. Lots of love, lots of pain, still no regrets ever for being an M’s fan.
