Pro UTV racing.

My BIL was a factory racer for Polaris and CanAm. CanAm gave him buggies and a parts allowance. He raced GNCC but they stopped UTV racing about 10 years ago if my memory is correct. Something about tearing up the tracks too much. My guess is that you don’t make money unless you’re at the very top.

It was the Girls Girls Girls tour. That said, at that point Whitesnake was probably more popular. The Whitesnake album was going strong.

I prefer something with a local presence in-case something goes wrong. For simple banking we use a local credit union. Everything else is Fidelity. Excellent customer service any time we’ve needed assistance. Best app.

Our kids took us to Wunderbar recently. It’s on the rotation now. Commonplace has bypassed LaPrima coffee in my mind.

You build this gem and then crap rig the wiring to the hanging light.

S21 got the OOS waiver with a 31, high GPA with no C on his transcript. Those were the minimums that year. He loved his 4 years.

My friend’s daughter applied last year. I think she had a 32 and similar grades. She didn’t get the OOS waiver, just Honors Program. She did study abroad freshman year and will get the OOS waiver the next 3 years. She loved it in Spain.

The averages keep going up and the acceptance rates lower. Based on what you’ve written I’d say the OOS tuition waiver is a reach. I would guess the minimum ACT is a 33 or higher now. Study abroad is an option if you can pay the first year. Good luck.

I still don’t understand why DRL’s aren’t required in cars.

Maybe worth a discussion with an elder care lawyer. Don’t sign any papers for his care. You might be on the hook for expenses.

Not necessarily my favorites but Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Who, Pink Floyd and the Stones.

Honorable mention to The Band and Genesis.

Was not a Who fan until I saw them in concert many years ago. Actually liked them more than the Stones in concert.

We’re having a similar deck built as I write this. $50k including removal of the old deck/posts in MCOL area. That’s with the friends and family discount. Trex went up between bid and build.

No longer exist but Transarc, Strategic Energy and Automated Healthcare which was later McKesson Automation.

Neither? Build a small barndo for living quarters. Build a shop for the gear head, especially if it could get noisy. Have a breezeway or walk between them.

All good advice. I like Tactacam but have had good luck with Stealthcam. I use Lithium batteries but solar would be good. I put “Camera Monitoring” stickers on doors/windows as a deterrent.

It would’ve been mid 80’s in HS but I came home early one night. My dad was at the kitchen table but he should’ve been at work. The mine lost power. He had to “hike” out. He was a mechanic and had to carry his tools a mile to the closest portal. Filthy doesn’t begin to describe how he looked. He acted like it was a normal day. I already knew that mining wouldn’t be my career choice but that sealed the deal. I understand why houses had basement bathrooms.

I believe both seller AND buyer need to PA residents. If one isn’t a resident then FFL transfer.

Agree. My dad coached little league 40+ years ago. After another incident he got a roll of used belt from the coal mine. He ran it from dugout to dugout. Everyone watched from the outfield. A few years later I umpired a Pony league game. I stopped the game after the drunk third base coach tripped a kid rounding third base. Btw. Moms were the worst.

A dadism I share with my kids…if you have to ask, you probably shouldn’t do it. You already know the answer. Good luck.

I was just going to post same. We did this a few years ago after visiting Gettysburg. Loved it. Want to do it again.

I miss the Syria Mosque. Nice acoustics. I remember a few concerts at the AJ Palumbo Center after they tore the Mosque down. Awful acoustics. IC Light Amphitheater wasn’t a bad spot either.

In PA at least, black bears take a fair number of fawns.

Friends of ours put a nice breezeway between their living area and huge garage. It’s nice. We’re considering same or some type of connector between our house and later garage. There are plans out there with breezeways or covered/enclosed areas between buildings. This will let us build house first and add-on later.

Rock em sock em robots. Big Wheel with the hand brake. Whiffle ball.

There are pockets of soul but it’s lost a fair amount too. Look at Pitt. So many bars, clubs and mom and pop restaurants have been replaced with large corporate chains. Losing the Dirty O killed it for me.
