The Boat Fanatic Thread
Anyone else get out on the water this fine weekend? BTW, for the convo up a page or two, Centurion’s have 5 ballasts, 2 of which are ram fill and other three are pump. There’s an option for a bow bag and on some models, a transom bag, that are pump as well. So if for some reason you don’t want to use the ram for wakeboarding, you don’t have to. Although they’re all easily adjustable, so I don’t know why you wouldn’t use the ram. I’ve only surfed behind mine so far, but the wave on this boat is so highly adjustable that I seriously doubt it isn’t just as great for wakeboarding as it is for surfing. And no, Centurion and Sante’s are not made in the same factory. Their factories are on opposite sides of the country (CA/FL). However, as of 2015, Centurion is majority-owned by the same parent company as Sante, Correct Craft. Since that purchase, Centurion has seen a number of improvements. It is not any cheaper than Sante, unless you’re counting gph where it’s roughly 50% more efficient. Although I’m just a beginner and not yet a wave snob, I think my friend’s G23 makes just as nice a wave as my Ri237, but whenever people are debating the best surf wave, Centurion is usually at the top of the majority’s list. As for winterizing, as of 2020, PCM has made it so damn easy there‘s no reason to not: Pull those three hoses, drop them in the hull, and done. (Already pulled in this pic.)

Alexis Sharkey thread
She's going to meet friends for movie night. Her body is found naked and clean. I'm guessing she just got out of the shower and was getting ready to leave the house. He's jealous. Sees her getting all gussied up for the evening. Thinks she's getting ready to go meet another man. Chokes her to death in a fit of jealous rage.

Alexis Sharkey thread
well, it's relevant to the murder. if she was financially independent, it lends credibility to the idea that she was leaving him. which goes back to the original point: when are they arresting this husband? strangulation is personal. laying her down rather than tossing her out of the car is personal. this arrest has to be coming soon.

Alexis Sharkey thread
there are. granted, it's a business model polluted with straight up ponzi schemes and phony products that will fill your garage w/ auto-shipped bullshit. but there's nothing about direct sales itself that's shady. it just lends itself to those who want to build shady businesses. some of them, probably a slim minority, sell a legitimate product and offer a legitimate commission structure to their reps. my wife makes 50-100k/yr selling Younique, in addition to a couple of free vacations/year. she has ~15k followers on social media almost all of which are women involved in the makeup thing either as customers or sales reps in her downline.

Alexis Sharkey thread
Depends. If the followers are just horny dudes and she only has 15k of them, she wasn’t making any money off it. If the followers were mostly her down line in whatever MLM she did, she could easily have been pulling down 6 figures if the MLM doesn’t have a shitty pay structure.

Ewers or Bust- Lord have mercy I’m bout to bust
6 shutouts, with the 6th being 34-0 vs Cibolo Steele the week before the North Shore game. It was their closest margin of victory up to that point. Westlake was insane this year. I’m not down on Ewers, but I’m up on Klubnik. Sark would do well to bring home either one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tom Girardi: The "Erin Brockovich" lawyer, his "Beverly Hills Housewife" wife, and the clients that he stole from
I think it’s incredibly common. That’s how it was at my last firm. I had the title “partner” but it was just a bullshit title. I guess it sounds more professional than assistant manager. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t understand why so many lawyers fuck this up. You can’t take money from your IOLTA account. It’s not yours. When you get caught, you will be disbarred. It’s that simple. I understand the temptation but it’s really very black and white. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Truck Nuts
Maybe I should start a new thread for this, but I'm thinking about buying an old truck. I'm thinking 70's era Ford 250. I'd love a K5, but I don't think they have the towing capacity I need. Something restored or worthy of taking to someone else to restore. I'm not handy enough to do this myself and even if I was, I don't have the time, the tools or the garage space (which is funny b/c I have a 4 car garage and only 2 cars). The purpose of this truck is primarily to tow a very heavy boat (probably 8000# loaded and fueled up). I won't be towing too often and I doubt I'll take long trips. This would be mostly just to take it home from the marina (~5 miles) every once in a while for detailing or maintenance, or occasionally to take on a short road trip to another lake like LBJ. I don't have any experience buying classic cars or trucks. How do I get started? My usual MO when buying new cars is to read reviews and browse sites like autotrader or cars.com. That's not been very useful so far in looking for an old truck. Suggestions? Where do I shop for these things? What do I avoid? How do I figure out the pricing? And just for good measure, this one probably wouldn't do the job, but people like to see pics of old trucks:

Tonsillectomy as an adult
I had a tonsillectomy when I was 25 years old and thank G-d I did. I rarely get a sore throat anymore and when I do it’s not a very big deal. Recovery was not too terrible. Took a week or so. I thought I had completely recovered a few days later and I went out to a bar and took some sort of citrusy shot, lemon drop or some crap, and that burned like an MF. Besides that I don’t remember any big problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Urban Meyer or bust
Important update: I live near the 360 bridge and just saw a beautiful white PJ fly over my house headed in the direction of ABIA. Didn’t get a great look on board, but pretty sure Urban was inside. Important information: there’s only three things you put on brisket: salt, pepper, and smoke from the slow-burning fire of a well seasoned oak (or pecan). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t understand why KU matters in this conversation. You fire Herman on Monday. You have Ash or someone else serve as interim coach for six days. Urban can immediately get to work on recruiting, without having to worry about coaching up a team for a meaningless KU game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
