I would ask him directly if he needs you to come in and then make a decision on that without all the feels involved. Do the job, don’t do the job. It’s a job, not a therapy group. That’s what Off Topic is for. I got no time for dramafeels at work.

See now that’s the spirit! Welcome to a real conference! We’ll see in a few years and you’ll see better facilities and players with the new $$$.

OU recruiting line: ‘We’re a mediocre team in a GREAT conference. You’ll get to be seen getting beaten down on national TvV at least a few times a year…We moved over so we could have more money.’

Classic rapala, rooster tail, power worm ribbon tail in black or purple or a combo, bitsy bug w/a Rage trailer, and a white (or white chartreuse) spinner bait. I will catch a fish with those, any day the water isn’t frozen.

I’ve been making my own sourdough and others breads since the pandemic started - I’m not losing weight either but homemade English muffins are approximately 72 times better than store bought. also - Portillos is still pretty frickin good

::nodding::: And Texas Tech is laying it to Mississippi State.

It just depends on how tied to surf fishing for stripers you are - it’s here, but mostly in NE NC, but there’s great Shad and striper runs on the east side through spring up to be coastal rivers. Raleigh has Jordan and Shearon Harris which have phenomenal largemouth fishing. Charlotte has the Catawba chain (Norman, Mountain Island, Wylie, Wateree, and a few others) with great bass and catfish and a few striper and hybrids thrown in. Further up the Catawba chain (Hickory, Rhodiss) you have better striper fishing, and then Lake James has a little bit of everything and some great smallmouth as well. There’s no shortage of great fishing in NC, go to TN. ?

This! We have Crispy Bahn Mi here in Charlotte- far and away my favorite sandwich here, and only $4.

@12poundbass - I will 100% agree with you - The bread at the JJs near my work is always day-old or hard or over baked, but the one near my house is like fresh doughnuts. I have definitely seen a big variance in their bread based on how the store is run!

For chains/convenience- I always do Jimmy Johns or Jersey Mikes. I loved Heidi’s when I lived in Denver and DC, but it looks like their east coast expansion failed. Add me to the group that prefers a local deli - there’s something about a sandwich on good bread that feels like your Uncle Sal just made it.

Almost 20 years younger than you, and I still have to work for a living, but you help keep me on my workouts - thanks for that! now can you keep all the baked and fried holiday treats away from me?

No teeth or shoes req’d to be a mod??!?

I thought it was Pike on a Bike….then I realized it was a musky but didn’t want to be ‘that guy’… Then I realized, again, that I’m an idiot.

Same here! And I play some Mario Kart with him from time to time.

What outboard is on each and which looks overall better cared for?

He’s going to love that Switch - mine has had one for a few years now. It’s just enough to be fun without being all -encompassing. Not a lot of first person shooter games for it either. It travels well and you can play it with him!

Let me summarize- you didn’t buy what you should’ve and now you want it to be cheaper/easier to get what you want. Financing permitting, I’d probably sell the boat and get what I wanted. Finances not permitting, I’d probably buy some Gatorade and start working on my cardio.

Beautiful birds and i love that dog!

Maybe it’s not weird at all… (I was actually referencing @A-Jay who was in that lie of work for a long time)

I think the ‘schooling is a waste of time’ is a bit of a fallacy. Taking out tens of thousands in loans that saddle you with debt for years is the issue, as is credit debt for many adults. Going to a community college for two years and transferring those credits to a more appropriate school when you know a little better what you want to be is a very responsible route. So are trade schools. So is the military. If I were to do it all over I would probably join the Navy or Air Force to get an education and technical proficiency and see the world, but there’s a multitude of paths you can take. Definitely not Coast Guard rescue operations- those guys are nuts! ?

If we’re going full sacrilege here - put Brie in the bottom, top it with halved figs and prosciutto. Use a spicy sweet tomato sauce somewhat sparingly.

I had a 336 in .35 Remington- great gun, great cartridge for the 200 yd and under deer hunting I did growing up.

If he plays Minecraft with friends let him do it as much as he wants. Get outside and be safe but spend time with him. Good nutrition and plenty of hydration. It. Sucks.

@jbsoonerfan How’d it come out?!?!

The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a personal favorite- I’ve read it many times. I’m going to have to take a look at these Jared Diamond books.
