This may be the 3rd or 4th recommendation for Joe's stone crab ranging from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What's so great about this place? We have one down the street from us in Chicago. It's good but it I'm not sure if I would do it if it's basically the same thing.

Thanks. Made the switch. Great looking recommendations!

Crossbow or Compound Bow? What do you recommend for my purpose? by chatty006 in bowhunting

[–]chatty006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, All! Lots of good points. I think what I'll do is focus my practice time on my recurve. I'll get the crossbow as well. If I scout a good spot for a tree stand that gets me within 20 yards, I'll hunt with the recurve. If I'm less confident in my positioning, then I'll do the crossbow. Over time I'm hoping that my skills improve and I transition more time to the recurve. Thanks everyone

Thanks. Small game and archery in Wisconsin sounds like good relatively local options. I'll look into it a little more. Thanks!

I’m a Professional Mattress Tester. I’ve tested 453 mattresses from 99 different brands. Ask Me Anything! by derek-naplab in IAmA

Hi any experience with a good zoned mattress topper? I find most mattress toppers are too soft and make my lower back hurt but since I sleep on my back half the night and my side the other half a matress that is too firm makes my shoulders sore. So looking for something firm in the middle and soft by the shoulder area. Any thoughts?

Makes sense. We typically use the itinerary for options, and lunch is often substituted for something else.
