I thought this was going to be a new premium credit card.
La Fonda's in Lafayette, I think the food is trash.

Elevation plays into this as well, Truist park (Georgia Area) is the 3rd highest above sea level behind Colorado and Arizona.


Athens is at 636 ft above sea level, I doubt that impacts the ball flight that much.

How reputable is Matt Hayes?


He wrote for the Sporting News for years. I used to enjoy reading his stuff back then.
I thought we were talking about the Hilux, not a Hilux Champ, a totally different truck.
You can't get a new Hilux anywhere on the planet for anywhere near 15k usd.
That's not a Hilux, it's a 70 series land cruiser.
I miss knowledgeable counter workers at dealers. They are completely useless, they must have a vin number.

Luckily one of the parts guys at Acadiana dodge jeep has been doing it for years. I was buying parts from him from Lafayette Motors around 25 years ago. I'm going to miss him when he retires.
I've had bad luck with a couple of interstate batteries, and have talked to a couple of mechanics who won't use them anymore. Last one I had was made in Mexico.

And Costco prorates immediately, so there is no free replacement even if it fails shortly after you purchase.

I don't suggest going to Jomashop for a high end watch. You often end up forfeiting your manufacturer warranty for their warranty which is inferior in every possible measurement.


I got my Omega from Jomashop because the price difference was significant. My thought was even if I had to immediately send it to Omega and pay out of pocket for service, still cheaper than what I could have negotiated with an authorized dealer.

Penfed Credit Union has been the best rates I've found in the past.
I don't know if they sell it everyday, but Earl's on Verot has great potato salad on their BBQ plates on Wednesdays and Sundays.
When I need mine serviced, I'll probably use rolliworks. I haven't heard of anyone local I'd trust.
First Horizon did my paper ibonds for me last year. It took a long time because they all had to be done individually. It was only 5k though, but lots of small denomination ones.
For $900? I just found out a way to make that in an hour.
My buddy owns a body shop, he'll turn down jobs if they aren't insurance. He can't fully know the damage until he starts tearing the car apart, and people are unwilling to pay for repairs that aren't quoted upfront. Insurance will.

I like the Pyrex. Stuff lasts forever


There is a difference between PYREX and pyrex. PYREX is made of borosilicate, and more heat resistant, so of better quality.
