The juvenile jail was packed and needed to be doubled in size


I mean it holds like 15 kids at a time and is one of 3 or 4 in the whole state. Doesn't take much to be "packed".

If you live in the center of any city with 200k people, you're going to have people checking for unlocked cars on the regular. It is this way in every major city in this state.

Woodlawn has been hood since the 90s :lol:

I remember that 16th being almost interminably long


I believe it's the longest hole I've ever played still. My best Driver and 3W can't quite reach. Querbes is super easy but still lots of fun. Pretty well run and maintained for a LA muni.

I have this Callaway and I like it a lot. Seems a little better than the tekteks and other similar about grabbing the flag. Love the magnet. Battery lasts a long time. Also it's not huge like some of the cheaper ones. Would buy again.

I used to have a 15 that remains the best driving vehicle I've owned. The new ones seem to be even better. They're really just perfect highway vehicles. Around town, Tahoes in particular feel like they turn like a car when you're used to a truck.

I think Koi is currently the best thing in town, followed by fat calf and Ki. Superior steakhouse if you want a fancy steak dinner.

Go to NicoKick and order an assortment to see what you like.

Northerner is another similar site


prices are awesome here. unfortunately they don't deliver to LA.
Other fees include mandatory holiday bonuses and capital charges if the club wants to do any significant upgrades. having that many nearby probably mitigates against some of this though since they're competing for members.

Hopefully, Apple Carplay is still an option for that trim.


it won't be - they have announced it's getting nuked in the next year. we have an expedition and really like it. the suburban/yukon feels more premium comparatively, but expedition was a good bit cheaper for similar feature set and is a perfect kid hauler.

DAT Sauce is my current favorite. It's great on everything.
2Johns is great food. Superior Steakhouse is on par in my opinion, with a better ambiance. Much much better bar area. I think the experience overall is more impressive at superior, although I enjoy the food at 2Johns as well. Fat Calf and Zuzul are two other higher end restaurants, but again, superior is the better experience overall.

What's the consensus on Superstroke grips?

i believe they are lamkin grips rebranded. they bought them a year or two ago iirc
I spent about $5k buying a 13kw trifuel generator, having a 50amp line run to the side of my house, running a 1" gas line, and moving a few breakers between panels. My generator runs on nat gas and powers all of the essentials in my house. I had two panels - the generator can only power what's on one of them, hence the moving of breakers. Soft start wouldn't work on my a/c for some reason which is a wrench in that part of my plan, but otherwise I think this is a great way to do it. That said, if you have the $, it's awfully convenient when those whole home generators just kick on automatically :lol:
Tenant generally responsible for the taxes. Not sure why it would make sense to keep it vacant - still losing $. Also makes it harder to use it as collateral if not rented.

re: Forming an LLC

This is a question for a CPA. No benefit that I can logistically. LLC could be used for estate planning purposes or for possible tax benefits. If you concerned with former, get a lawyer. If latter, get a CPA.
I have a Midea U window unit in bedroom (hidden by outdoor shrubbery thankfully) and it works very well. It uses inverter tech like a mini split. I get what you're saying about poor insulation, but it's been fine in my bedroom. In a garage it wouldn't matter one bit. My garage didn't have a window or I would've just done that.
I added one to my garage at the beginning of the summer. The amount of condensation has been pretty surprising. I'm on a slope, but the ground in the area where it drains is constantly saturated. I'm going to have to lengthen my drain line to get it away from the house. The only other negative is when it's really hot, my windows fog up when I pull out of the garage :lol:

Do I think I’m good enough for that difference in spin and feel to impact my score? Nope


I suspect you have it backwards - you are good enough that it wouldn't impact your score significantly because you can accommodate for it.

My hcp is in the teens. I can tell a difference in feel of a urethane ball especially around the greens. That said, I don't play a traditional "premium" ball. I don't think the performance improvements, if any, justify the price premium.

re: Garage storage

Posted by lsujro on 9/26/25 at 1:14 pm to
I buy the biggest shelf brackets they have at lowes (20" I believe), rip plywood sheets in half and lay over top. I have this basically all the way around my garage about 30" from the ceiling. Frees up the lower area for storing other stuff that can't go on a shelf.
