A tarp fixtured to the canopy frame that straddles the tent. There is also a specific product for this...

Taste is great. I add in a pinch of sea salt for remineralization, but they sell in-line remineralizing components too.

I have had this system for almost 4 years. Love it. And the price is the same today as I paid 4 years ago.

Good point. Our kids are younger than OP's.

We didn't spend much time at the beach. The shuttle is nice for getting across, but if you are there for maximizing beach time and want to duck out for lunch real quick, it is inconvenient

Been previously with young kids (under 5). Going again in late August. Did not find it to be crowded and it was relaxing.

Caribe is a good place to stay. Nice pools, lazy river, convenient location to get to Pensacola or back into OB/GS.

Are you hooking this up to a 20 lb tank? Make sure the knob on the heater is set to off when you connect the tank. Tank valve should also be closed.

Open tank valve before turning on heater knob. It does sometimes take a while to get the pilot lit.

Mr Buddy heaters are 100% efficient with built in oxygen sensors. About as safe for indoor use as anything.

Assuming you want an upgrade to the sub-date that is also a diving/date watch, I am throwing another brand in the mix. Blancpain.

Immerse yourself in local culture...have a drink at the " Cat's Paw"

For some time outdoors, the Hyalite Creek/Reservoir area is a good place to take a walk through the woods.

re: Gonna be in Katy, TX, tomorrow night. Any recommendations?

Posted by gonecoastal on 5/25/24 at 9:17 pm to LSUfan0420

I’ll second Rays. It’s such a gem. The food is reasonably priced and consistently good.

I’ll also be specific about Katy Asian town - Corner 99 has some delicious food. Particularly pho and grilled pork spring rolls.

re: Anyone been to a Wally’s?

Posted by gonecoastal on 4/13/24 at 10:54 pm to LSUFanHouston

I was lured here by a sign that claimed, “so much jerky, you’ll go blind”.

Having been to a Buc-ee’s previously, I was severely disappointed.

I've seen this approach with egg rolls. Not sure that it quite took off, but it was a sound concept.

Never had that experience with them. Sad to hear they didn’t get back with you.

Had a similar experience with Boyd’s a few weeks ago. At least 10 lb dead across two sacks.

Most HEBs don't reliably take reservations. Driving them in from BR would be fine if you keep them iced, lid cracked, drain open, and something on the bottom to keep them out of the water (like PVC pipe). I've kept crawfish in sacks for 24+ hours this way without any trouble.

Cajun Gourmet has quality crawfish, they take reservations, and you meet them at a drop point in your general area the day of your reservation. https://cajungourmetcrawfish.com/
