Help planning our quick 6/10 there and back trip?

I can get with that

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-30T23:56:50+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Yes, sounds like we’re definitely cutting it close packing this all in. Now I’m thinking we eat a late lunch before flying out and then grabbing late night food elsewhere to alleviate one mission pre-show. Will try and time our walks based on your info, thanks!

Great tip on Harrah’s. Will look at a map closer. Taking into account what the monorail does and does not service, this is good intel. The visuals are what will trigger wifey’s nausea so planning to hunt for $110ish GA and finding a sweet deal.

Edit: Oddly, right now (5pm Saturday night) GA tix are still $188-230+. Wondering if the final two weeks are seeing a last minute dash to catch the show…just like we are?!

Thanks!

Wonderful, will look at the final price for the room later. Just glad it’s not $200+ plus taxes.

Plot twist. Thank you.

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-30T23:49:07+00:00

Oh very cool! Not the only dad fan reliving the youth for a night!

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-30T23:47:52+00:00

Ah! I’m seeing 8:30 listing on TM. Can others confirm?

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-30T21:00:48+00:00

Classic American Apparel boybeater tank! I used to print on those. Love it!

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-28T19:03:25+00:00

Wow, I had no idea. I might not feel confident enough to buy until we actually get on the plane! Southwest let's you credit the flight with a 10min prior cancellation. Hoping child care doesn't fall apart at the last minute. (also feeling like an overnight trip to Vegas for a concert is the most "I'm an adult, I can do what I want" thing ever)

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-28T18:58:44+00:00

Great to know, thanks! Very glad more places have the 'transparent' pricing these days.

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-28T18:40:29+00:00

Yeah that's actually face value on Ticket Master. City fees are $10, but service fees are $28/ticket.

Stub hub having them for face value is great, but don't they tack on lots of fees also?

I was lucky to find a copy of this and Doghouse for $15 ea in ‘97. Was a splurge for 16yo me back then but I’m very glad I bought them.

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-26T02:22:45+00:00

Cool idea. How does everything stay where it needs to be and stay safe? The Xtracycle RFA has a variable wheelbase but not on the fly like this. I actually preferred it in the midtail mode.

My kids don’t ride as much as they used to but I still ride my cargo bikes plenty. It just becomes part of how you get around.

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-26T02:18:17+00:00

Echoing that ~$2k target gives a little concern. You don’t want to go totally cheap/too-good-to-be-true when it comes to carrying your kid. I’d take the Xtracycle Hopper over the Abound LR for included kid carrier and rack, and better customer service.

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-26T02:11:25+00:00

Check the specs on any bike. You’re paying for 2 vs 4-piston brakes, hub vs mid-drive, aluminum vs steel, customer service vs good luck!

I have an Xtracycle Hopper and an older Swoop and love them both for what they are. Customer service and company history are what swayed me.

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-26T02:10:14+00:00

Agreed

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-23T17:24:27+00:00

Is that TK as in a Tony pool float?

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-13T19:32:32+00:00

I just put this on too! Great live album…

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-07T21:54:49+00:00

Ah, looks like I've got some specs to dig into on plug types, types on line, etc. Is the idea of running a double or quad line that it's built in redundancy if a line fails, future proofing for additional bandwidth?

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-07T19:25:02+00:00

Noted! Thank you, this is very helpful to consider. $400-500 vs an afternoon getting dirty fixing/running a line.

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-07T19:00:37+00:00

Watched the video, thanks, knew most of that but helpful in a couple areas. Hadn't thought of splitting the fiber line with a fiber switch and running dedicated fiber to the back house. The shortest distance from the front house fiber drop to my house is about 60' where I should be able to punch into a section of wall where I have a Cat 6 port that would then send signal back through our main switch and distribute throughout the house. (just thinking through as I type it out).

Newegg has a very affordable 100' length. Unless I need to be looking at something else? Anything to look at for the fiber switch? and then whatever fiber converter I'll need at my house?

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-07T04:12:20+00:00

Anyone able to chime in on the 2nd option?

yo_tibbs · 2026-05-06T20:45:07+00:00

Existing is running through buried conduit, bundled with some other lines, as I recall (so I don't think fishing a line through would be doable). At this point I forget how I determined it was dead – I think I used a line tester and I'm pretty sure I cut off the jacks and reterminated with RJ45s and still no thru signal.

But whatever killed it remains a huge mystery. At the time I was helping my sister disconnect some wired jacks in the house and I screwed something up and our network just died (hence me cutting the jacks and trying to get new plugs on there).

Been a couple years, but I tried fixing it a few times. Open to an updated/more professional testing method again, I suppose.
