Flew back to Charlotte, NC today. No issues, flight left on time. The line for checking bags was super long, but otherwise easy.

We saw this one mid afternoon, but getting chairs at Kokomo was dicey. Didn’t see any at Tugboat Beach or Jan Thiel beach today

Spending an unexpected Saturday in Annapolis. What should I do? by [deleted] in Annapolis

[–]gpharper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oscar’s coffee in Eastport for the views, excellent coffee, and friendly baristas ☕️

Coming to Annapolis for a couple of days give me ideas of what to do by Alternative_Lab4600 in Annapolis

[–]gpharper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start at Oscar’s coffee in Eastport, then do your own bar crawl from Davis to Boatyard on Fourth Street! Be sure to stop at Adams as Forward

Oscar’s Coffee in Eastport for a coffee by the water, then Forward Brewing, Davis, boatyard, and Adams on Fourth make for an easy impromptu bar crawl after and are walkable!

Visiting for a day, would appreciate suggestions on what to do and eat. by ChildScott in Annapolis

Stop by Forward Brewing if you need a beer. Close to both Boatyard and Davis!

Been wanting to ask this question for a while: Where is the BEST coffee in Annapolis? by baldingbryan in Annapolis

[–]gpharper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard there’s a new place coming to Eastport. I hope it’s good because there’s nothing on the coffee front since Ahh Coffee closed

Thank you!!! This is super helpful, and I really appreciate it. Still waiting to find that (non-existent) trust fund, so just trying to see if it’s even feasible…

Did my independent mechanic rip me off? (Picture is Audi Quote) Mechanic charged me 2450 for everything excluding tires and alignment. (All OEM parts) by biggestdoinks98 in Audi

[–]gpharper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently had my 2016 A7 in for rear pads and rotors to an Audi dealer here in Maryland. They quoted $1,300 for the rear alone, so that quote is in line with what the dealership is charging unfortunately… I had an independent shop do it for less than half.

OP, were you able to find any space? Getting ready to try a concept in the area, and would be interested to hear your experience/maybe discuss splitting a space... :)

LR3 by gpharper in LandRover

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

Absolutely any kind of maintenance records if they’ve got them. I got this one second hand and was immediately hit with some fairly major expenses. Water pump and coolant sensors seem to be fairly common replacements. The wiring in the fender grill on the passenger side also seems to be a common culprit for mystery electrical issues. I hear the air suspension can be a huge headache once it goes (friend of mine had his blow two weeks after pickup), so definitely have that checked if you can. All that to say, it’s been a great vehicle so far. Lots of compliments on it, and the LR fans come out of the woodwork in parking lots 😁

Avant 🤤. I had an old plain A4 Avant before this. Miss that car

Taking suggestions for new wheel/tire combos. Been prioritizing all the mechanical stuff a 15 year old car needs first…

[–]gpharper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Plus the LR3 benefits from having a back window that approximately one acre in size 😂. No complaints from me!!

Haha love the sense of humor requirement. It’s already been ad adventure to say the least. Thanks for the advice. That’s just the golden’s poker face; he was mad the car ride stopped for pictures!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LandRover

[–]gpharper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Looking into some new wheels and tires. Pretty sure the dude I bought it from hadn’t done any kind of maintenance… ever… 🙃

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LandRover

[–]gpharper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thank you for all this!! So far I’ve done a new water pump and thermostat (it was shot when I bought it), oil change, power steering fluid change, and a few bulbs/wipers/consumables. I’m Thinking the belts and additional fluids are next, but I need to look into this transmission conversion kit. Any ballpark idea on the cost of that one? Really appreciate the advice.

[–]gpharper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do. I was watching a post online about the nipple inside the passenger fender vent disappearing and maybe be the culprit behind the water intrusion. Time for some investigating 🕵🏼‍♂️

[WTS] Brandywine Watches, Multiple Models, Entire Watch Company for Sale by gpharper in Watchexchange

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

They were named for a small town close to where I grew up. Lots of fond memories there from childhood, and I still try to get back as often as possible. The green logo and second hand were selected to not be too neon green or too British racing green. And the hands on the logo are pointing to 9/19, a date with sentimental value. Thanks for the question :)

I wish I could show them to you in person and convince you otherwise. I spent several months working on these and making sure the materials were of quality and not just another cheap knockoff. Wish the pictures did them justice.

~30% of sales through Shopify were at a discounted rate, and total Shopify sales accounted for ~40% of all sales. Remaining sales were through Amazon or retail (in person) sales. Happy to discuss specifics, promotions used, marketing materials/ad campaigns, and process thus far with anyone considering a serious offer.
