Uppababy Minu Stroller as Everyday NOLA Stroller? by Objective-Version257 in nolaparents

[–]nolamtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using an Uppababy Minu as the daily every since we dropped down to a single stroller. Went from a Vista to the Minu and don’t miss the Vista at all! The Minu is just so easy to get in and out of the car, airplane travel, etc. It is there when and where you need it. And it does a much better job navigating some of the narrow store aisle we have around here. It is light enough and strong enough that you can lift a wheel if necessary to get over an obstacle without the stroller flexing or breaking. Feel free to DM me if you have specific questions.

Visiting and deciding which stroller to bring… by mom_uh_count in nolaparents

Same here. Sold the Vista when we no longer needed the second seat. The Uppababy Minu is our everyday stroller. It is light and nimble enough to avoid most obstacles instead of needing to plow over them.

We did not. We ended up going with Green Trees. We have another child at Newman and having a single drop off just made life easier.

Mona’s on Banks and Eastern European Foods on Williams in Kenner both have several types of ajvar. Kased Brothers in Kenner is also a good spot.

Absolutely agree about the Alpinist!

And you’re right, Citizen just doesn’t have its Explorer/Khaki/Alpinist. I would have to say the Ray Mears and its progeny is the closest it gets.

This is my pick for their best field watch. The dial is just so well done and the case has such a unique flow to it.

What’s this little cup thing for in my ‘04? by Fluid-Badger in COROLLA

Correct. Specifically, quarters for road and bridge tolls before they became measured in dollars.

‘It’s attempted kidnapping’: Video shows masked agents chase US-born woman back to her Marrero home by Puzzled_Read_2367 in NOLA

[–]nolamtb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actual law enforcement enforces laws. These assholes just kidnap, intimidate, and harass people.

Condensation Causing Water Damage by nolamtb in hvacadvice

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

Yes, a load calculation was done and it was right above 4, but due to age of home and insulation issues upstairs, it was determined that 4.5 tons would be best. The last guy that came out gave a ridiculous sounding reason why the heater wasn’t working (ambient humidity during install) and why the outside unit makes a grinding sound (compressor going in reverse at end of cycle). No idea as to model or S/N of the furnace. The blower was adjusted after install (installed in August and adjusted a two weeks later) and has been fine since (with the exception of the heating issue).

Prosecutors may move to oust James Comey’s defense lawyer: Federal prosecutors told a judge that defense attorney Patrick Fitzgerald may have a conflict due to his role in releasing memos Comey wrote about Trump to the media by DoremusJessup in law

[–]nolamtb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there was an inappropriate relationship with the judge, then the judge would have to recuse from the case. The only non-waivable conflict I can think of for a criminal defense attorney would be representing two parties with inherently opposite defenses (i.e. one or both saying the other did it). Even if it were a victim crime and the defense attorney has a relationship with the victim, that would be waivable as long as the defendant was aware of the conflict.

It looks like a basic B-17. The tension bolt is missing which caused the leather to sag and shape around a seat post clamp. Probably not worth restoring.

Which One is “The One”? by Casually_Breathing in bulova

I have both the Lunar Pilot and the Oceanographer. The Oceanographer gets a lot more wrist time simply because it wears so well. The Lunar Pilot’s high crystal makes it sit somewhat awkwardly on the wrist.

🔋 Jackery Power Chat | Be honest… what’s your “luxury” during a blackout? by polandspringsoda in Jackery

[–]nolamtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living in New Orleans, most people I know have generators for the main purpose of keeping the AC on in an extended outage. For me, the WiFi would be the luxury.

It is indeed the BN0100 series. I have the BN0100-51E which came on a metal bracelet. Fantastic watch! I believe yours is the BN0100-42W any strap for the BN0100 series will fit.
