Agreed. Since they spread the tee times out a little more as long as you tee off before 8:30 you should be fine.

It really doesn't matter because if the windshield has no tint you can see right through. Old truck had 5% on sides and back and 50% on the windshield. Was tough backup back up at night, ESPECIALLY in the rain. New truck has a backup camera with 5% on sides and back and 35% on windshield. Much nicer. It keeps the truck much cooler IMO and I like it for security purposes. Knock on wood but I have been pulled over a few times in the old truck and one time in the new truck with no mention of tint.

The amount of money that the mortgage companies will approve people for is ridiculous. I finished grad school five years ago and had a little bit of cash in the bank. I was not interested in throwing money away, renting so we wanted to buy. I contacted the mortgage company less than a month after starting my full-time job. What they approved me for verse my salary was sickening.

After being in that house a little over three years, we sold it and bought our long-term home in the area. We wanted to be in because of the Market boom. We got fairly lucky at having to overpay for our current house and have a 1.9% interest rate. We spent around 100 K on renovations. I’m just glad we got in when we did. We have some friends that are currently looking to buy near us and can’t find anything affordable with the current rates.

Ok so the penthouse was before Happys? That would make more sense.

We live in downtown too. That’s disappointing to hear… I’ve left lawn mowers and bikes under my carport many of times and never had an issue even with living on a main cut through street. We LOVE the downtown area.

Another plus is being able to take a golf cart to pretty much anywhere downtown or any SLU event.

I went to SLU as did my wife. We moved back to get out of the greater BR area a year ago and couldn't be happier. PLENTY of great restaurants. A beautiful downtown area with some good plans for the future. The university provides entertainment from athletic events and arts. Live music a good bit of the time. Crime happens but it is typically contained to certain areas. Like mentioned earlier, the university has some very good programs. The education and nursing programs are top notch and business and kinesiology are both good as well. Downtown area is very nice but hard to find houses for sale if you are looking for something move in ready. Another nice area is out by Oak Knoll by the airport. Hammond High can be rough but it is now a magnet school and if you are in the magnet program you don't really associate with general population. St. Thomas is the catholic high school and deals with it's share of "private school problems" Overall, we have been very happy with our decision.

Idaho would be my number 1 choice. However, no shot my wife is leaving her family unless things get a good bit worse around us. We are far enough out… for now

I always look at that one when it goes on sale but have yet to pull the trigger... I want to go by Mike Ward's too and see if some of the scratch and dents might be worth it or if they are pretty much full price.

I have made one trip down to my buddies house boat in Venice this year. It isn't even worth the drive it seems. You will have one good day here and there but not like it was when we started hunting down there even 6 or 8 years ago...

There was also much nicer trucks in the parking lot. I drive a older Silverado crew cab with it’s fair share of dents and dings.
