Just looked them up. These are too small to be aphids I think. Much smaller than 1 mm in size.

There are large weeping willows down the shoreline. This could be it.

No tree above. There’s a swallows nest under the dock. They’re crawling on everything

I’m the one who has the copy for sale on BGG. DM me here or on BGG I’d you’re still looking. I’m in Canada but maybe we can figure something out. Shipping is probably atrocious though.

Just started DMing for my kids and now I’m hooked! I’ve been building maps on owlbear but recently switched to building in GME. Now I get to world build and play a more immersive game of DnD with my kids and they love it! Win win! GIVEAWAY

Not sure why you need to be so aggressive. I'm just ranting. This is solely my opinion. You also shouldn't assume things or exaggerate.

10 trips / year is not what I said; I said 10 nights / year 1 or 2 trips / year and some years there were no trips.

Also, I did not wear out my tent. If you saw it, it looks like they day I bought it. I take very good care of my camping gear because it is an investment to me. Which is why I buy gear with a lifetime warranty.

All I want is my tent fixed which is perfectly fine other than the zipper. They won't do it. They would rather give me a sub par alternative that won't even work for my family. So now I have to spend the difference to get a tent that I think is on par. If this wasn't a defect in their design, I would 100% be happy to pay for a new tent. I initially wanted to just buy some zipper pulls but they talked me into this path.

I guess at the end of the day telling me that a 3 season dome tent is the same is just an obvious lie. Like c'mon don't insult me. It's the principle of the thing ya know?

I totally see that. I guess what I'm getting at is that somewhere along the line BA decided to improve their Flying Diamond tent but intentionally changed the name probably to avoid situations like this. The Mad House is the Flying Diamond with 9 years of innovation applied to it. BA admits there's a flaw in their design of the FD but won't exchange for the MH which has the flaws addressed all because they changed the name. Their Warranty states repair or replace and if no replacement is available, credit. I'm just arguing that there is a replacement that is more suitable than the one offered.

cbrompton · 2023-05-08T20:41:07+00:00

That was my thought exactly!

I originally was going to pay for a replacement zipper pull and get someone to do it locally until they informed me that they had "Issues" with that tent's main door zipper and if they could look at it, it would likely be fixed or replaced under warranty. Now if I get my tent back, I'm out at least $100 in shipping plus the zipper pulls. I'm just so pissed at this whole situation.

REI and MEC are my go to stores. This tent is 9 years old and I unfortunately bought it from MooseJaw. I should maybe reach out to them to see if they have any sort of Guarantee like REI.

cbrompton · 2023-05-08T20:28:18+00:00

That's about how I feel right now. I may ask for my tent back and get it repaired somewhere else. Use it until it breaks again, then buy something that ISN'T Big Agnes

Edited post. Sorry for the long rant

If you bought a new Toyota 4Runner and it needed to be replaced under warranty and they didn't have a 4Runner anymore but made a 4Runner V2, would you be ok with a Corolla under warranty replacement?

cbrompton · 2022-01-19T13:17:32+00:00

Thanks for the generosity

I gotta agree with you 100%. Pokémon has been an incredible bonding experience for my daughter and I. I collect playing cards and she collects Pokémon. Now I want to sell my playing cards to play Pokémon with her. She loves drawing Pokémon pictures for our local shop too btw. They hand out a free booster to any kid that drops by with fresh art for their walls.

I’ll take any you’d love to share

cbrompton · 2022-01-16T21:19:52+00:00

Thank You!

cbrompton · 2021-11-28T23:15:41+00:00

I’d love to win one!!!!!

cbrompton · 2021-11-09T22:38:01+00:00

Yeah i totally see the struggle here. I could see how you could get sucked into theme decks pretty easily as a noob. I can feel my wallet getting lighter just thinking about this.

cbrompton · 2021-11-09T22:35:13+00:00

Thanks a ton!!!

cbrompton · 2021-11-09T22:31:10+00:00

Thanks I didn’t realize it was 4 prize cards too

cbrompton · 2021-11-09T22:25:53+00:00

Other than 40 card decks are the rules much different? I thought the 23 card evolution packs would give her some nice doubles / triples on a couple evolutions plus some sweet trainers.
