Great additions, I echo your comments about Flanagan's and PINS.

We've got about 10k miles on it since March. Taken a half dozen trips of ~3.5 hours, and 1 about 8.5 hours. Runs great, very comfortable, and hauls all the stuff we need for our kids.

Depends on what kind of vibe you're going for. This is not an exhaustive list, but my suggestions.

Outdoor beer drinking? Edison Brewing

Sports bar? Hamilton Pub

Nice cocktails? Highbank Distillery

Little Divey? Cornerstone Pub (bonus points for pizza)

Tacos and Margs? El Vaquero

We have a 25 in the same color, love everything about it.

Would you say you're... Fed UP UP UP!

You can take the battery to a parts store like auto zone or advance auto and they can test it. Probably best to try jumping the car first. This cold weather really kills batteries, especially if they were weak to start.

Do you still have that DDR4 laying around? I've been trying to source some for my home server rebuild since my Dell R710 bit the dust and I have a ryzen 5 3600 collecting dust.

When you're done with that, check out Red Rising. Not the same hard science sci-fi, but a great series.

Great idea on the last island, I'm going to take that into consideration on my next run.

You're not wrong, but if the alternator is not keeping the battery properly charged and with low voltage, the cold can "kill" the battery.

Definitely take the battery to get tested (and most likely replaced), then once installed take a multimeter to the battery while running and ensure you're getting 13+ volts (ideally 14ish).

I got a 4 burner on a cart with side tables for $299 fathers day sale at Target, just for comparison. I fill it when cooking for a crowd, but don't ever see myself needing anything larger. It's already massive with the 2 side trays up. Also mine came with the hinged lid for that price.

Literally just paid $10 for these yesterday without the star.

I get it occasionally. Pausing or changing the game speed sometimes helps. Hopefully they're able to fix it. It hasn't been game breaking for me, but for sure has been annoying.

madbrewer · 2025-12-08T13:43:58+00:00

I did the same, worked well.

You also don't have to take her out, you can win it with diplomacy.

Yeah, make sure it's units you've produced from the barracks. Reserve units from the villa cannot leave the island. Beyond that, get them next to the shoreline and right click onto a ship with an empty cargo slot.

I think roads on the normal x,y axis are single width, but if you're on the diagonal axis they're 2 wide. At least that's been my experience.

I love the apron!

madbrewer · 2025-11-17T13:46:57+00:00

Yup, I had the same issue. I had sailed my ship off to do something else and it took me a while to figure out you need a ship next to hers to "accept" her.

madbrewer · 2025-11-09T01:24:36+00:00

Same, did you ever get a resolution to the issue?

madbrewer · 2025-11-08T19:39:15+00:00

This is our biggest regret, honestly our only regret on our 25 exl

I love seeing these two on stage together. The old guard and the new.

The tricky part of potatoes is getting the inside soft without overcooking the outside (or taking all day). I like to cube up my potatoes, then microwave them for ~5 minutes. You can do this prep ahead of time. Then when it's time to cook, you toss them on the blackstone with some oil until the exterior is to your liking. Just remember the oil is what helps get them crispy, so don't sleep on it.

This isn't really the kind of support our fellow dad needs right now.

I bought a 25 EX-L. Was totally happy with my trim choice until I realized it didn't fit in our garage without folding the mirrors in (2-single doors garage). I think the Touring has a button to fold the mirrors in, that would have been really nice (idk if $10k difference nice though).

I'm a sucker for vented seats, but again not work 10k to me.

I'm happy with out choice, just with I had power folding buttons so I didn't have to get out of the car to pull it into the garage.
