I actually had a good car buying experience today. Was looking for a brand new 2017 Honda Pilot EX-L. Only a handful of them left in the area. Neither BR dealership had them marked down, but the Gonzales and New Orleans dealerships had them marked about $4k off of the MSRP. I figured that was a better starting point.
So I called both to get their lowest price. After a little haggling, Gonzales was at $33,300 and Nola was at $33,100. I told them both that the other one was at $32,500. Then waited on call backs to see which one would come down.
Nola called back and said they would do $32,400 plus T,T&L and NO fees.
Then Gonzales called and said that they couldn’t come down any more.
So I called Nola back and said to get the paperwork ready and there better not be any surprises or I was gonna walk out. I filled out the credit app on their website to save some time when I got there.
Me and the wife got down there and they had most of the paperwork waiting on us. We just had to go see the finance guy and sign everything.
Got the car we wanted for $32.4 plus TT&L at 0.9% for 60 months. Original sticker price was $39k.
I did all the negotiating from my living room and got a pretty damn good deal.
Sometimes you get lucky!

Long pool thread
I gave some thought to installing one myself last year.
This thread gives good insight into what it takes.
This is extremely helpful! Thank you.
Thanks everyone for all the info!! I'll post updates when I get started.
Swimming pool question
Posted by mageea22 on 2/8/17 at 1:21 pm
I'm looking to put in a pool this summer. I want a custom gunite pool, but I want to sub-contract it out myself.
I know people who can do the excavation, plumbing, electrical, etc. What I don't have is someone who can do the gunite.
Does anyone here know any pool sub-contractors? Has anyone here ever put in a pool like this before?
Thanks!

Trump Presidency Action Tracker
Posted by mageea22 on 1/25/17 at 12:59 pm
I'm not sure exactly where I got this, but I came across a list of actions that Trump wants to complete during his presidency. I thought it would be interesting to track the progress and completion of them, especially since he is off to such a fast start.
Here is the list. Please add comments as items get checked off the list:
1. Propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress
2. Institute a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health). Done 1/23/17
3. Require for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated.
4. Institute a five year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service
5. Create a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
6. Institute a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
7. Announce intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205.
8. Announce withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Done 1/23/17
9. Direct Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator.
10. Direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately.
11. Lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
12. Lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward.
13. Cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure.
14. Cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama. Done 1/12/17
15. Begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
16. Cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities.
17. Begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back.
18. Suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
19. Work with Congress on a Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act.An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
20. Work with Congress on a End The Offshoring ActEstablishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
21. Work with Congress on a American Energy & Infrastructure ActLeverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
22. Work with Congress on a School Choice And Education Opportunity ActRedirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
23. Work with Congress on a Repeal and Replace Obamacare ActFully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
24. Work with Congress on a Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act.Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
25. Work with Congress on an End Illegal Immigration ActFully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
26. Work with Congress on a Restoring Community Safety Act.Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.

What are you doing with all of the stuff in the building?
I use When I Work. GREAT website and App for scheduling and for payroll. I highly recommend it!!
What I have is a flatwave powered indoor antenna. I could mount it on the roof, but I'm not sure it's designed for that.
Can't get NBC on HD antenna......

I live in Denham Springs and I get every other local channel using my HD antenna. It is mounted in my attic.
Any advice??

What time do you expect the Syracuse game to start?
I'm thinking about going to the game and it is much cheaper to fly into Syracuse on Saturday morning.
Is it a safe bet that this will be a night game?
Thanks in advance

Recruiting wasn't followed much at that time. I went to Boys State with Ike, and we were all enamored with the fact that Ivory was his brother and Dalton was his uncle. Never really thought to ask him about his college choice.
I was at Boys State that year and in the same group as Ike. Really great guy.
There was also a LB from Patterson there with him. Can't remember his name, but he was a really good football player.
Kevin Mawae's little brother was also in our group. Funny dude.
Do you coach over there with Timmy? When did you go to Walker?
