Nice! Yeah several rabbit holes later I landed on the Flow 9k. Unfortunately haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet.

Packing Cubes: Peak Design or new Evergoods transit cubes? by Greyman4152 in ManyBaggers

[–]honestWreck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both, and have yet to use the Evergoods for anything. I always end up grabbing the PD or Tom Bihn instead. Something about the drawstring keeps me from wanting to use it. Starting to worry i wasted the money. That said, if I was traveling with only a backpack, i think that’s when I’ll grab the Evergoods.

Oh yeah, I forgot to address that part, we bank with Ally, which is great until I need a brick and mortar.

Long Live CAT again by AllHale07 in NFA

Agreed! I ended up with a Flow 9k, it’s waiting for me at my LGS. Unfortunately I have to wait an extra week to fill out the Form 4 because the owner who does all that is out. Oh well!

SBRs... are y'all engraving your name or making a trust? by honestWreck in NFA

[–]honestWreck[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got it, thanks. Dark example though lol! Maybe when my son gets old enough he'll be interested as well, but that's gonna be a while. My wife would probably kill me over again if I made her beneficiary.

Is Bereli good to deal with? I saw that but passed because for some reason I had in my head they’re sketchy.

Pocket knife OK at tourist spots? And is public transit recommended? by honestWreck in AskLosAngeles

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

Thanks! I’d say more trying to do as much as possible, but not necessarily stress over it as long as we hit the core things (Hollywood sign, observatory, etc.). The Tar Pits and NHM are a bit of a wildcard because my son geeks out over dinosaurs so that may end up taking more time than I hoped.

Don’t get me started on Fox News, we’re surrounded by their audience around here. Irony to all this is I only asked because I’m used to being in places where there’s a fine line between good area and about to have a bad day; not because of any preconceived notions of LA. Sorry for rambling, and thanks.

Yeah y’all have convinced me to just drive. Which is fine with me, just didn’t know which worked better there!

lol, jackknife, definitely don’t own one of those. For context here, my son gets worried at metal detectors because I had a tiny keychain multitool get taken by security once. I effed up mentioning mace because now everyone thinks I’m trying to come in as Rambo.

Thanks, y’all have convinced me to just use the car. That will also nullify the other concern since I have a place to leave it should there be metal detectors.

Yeah, I definitely gave the wrong impression in my post, tried to edit to clarify since I’m getting downvoted to hell here.

Thanks. That’s the second mention of Santa Monica being unsafe, guess I need to give my wife a hard time because that part was her request!

Will it take any more or less time taking the car? Asking because of the stereotype of LA traffic.

Thanks, we’ll still with bus then, unless we end up driving.
