I can vouch for Joe’s when it comes to seafood. It’s first class and always on point. Only have had seafood and crabs (prepared all kinds of ways). The steak was just ok at best.

Prices a have definitely gone up on Katzkin. 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4 door was roughly $2K this year. Had it done a few months ago.
I would recommend going this route if it’s in your budget. I personally like the Katzkin more than OEM. It is more comfortable and seems to be better quality.

Have a 26kw Kohler on my house (Houston). Only had it 1 year and never had any issues. Starts up within 10 seconds after loss of power and runs great. House is 2900 sq ft 4 BR / 3 Baths, office, electric dryer, 2 AC units, pool etc…. All can run at the same time and house functions as normal.
I use Genpro for a service plan.
I would go with Kohler if I had to do it over again. I was deciding between B&S and Kohler. The service company did not hesitate suggesting Kohler when I asked about parts availability and service.
My neighbors with Generac have had terrible experiences.

Which of these do you guys recommend?
I have 2 “basic” Honeywell digital touchscreen thermostats now. They do have a function to control “dehumidification”.
I want something that is easy to use / install, allows me to control from the screen or app, etc..
I do not want to have to use batteries.
I do have a C wire.

Just went through this process, but for 65” TV’s. Bought the Sony Bravia and the Samsung QN90D and set them both up in my living room. My wife, who could not care less about picture quality, immediately said the Sony was much better. I agreed and boxed up the Samsung and returned it.
I bought the Sony Bravia 7 from Costco for $999 and ended up buying another for our game room.

Do y’all use the same Apple ID / iCloud?
Following (In the same boat)
I have never been but everyone I know who has…. Says “do not buy now and wait it out until game day”. That’s my plan.
Driving from Houston with my buddy (Coastal Alum) and we have 10 year old boys.
Looking at around $1000 for 4 tickets for Saturday if I buy now and that is not great seats.
Would like to hear what others have to say.
ETA that we will attend all games.

Yup. RHU unit. No injuries and shelter in place has been lifted. Looks like it is under control.
My company matches $ to $ up to 10%. Makes it very tough to leave….
I’m tempted to go buy 2 more Sony Bravia 7 and put them in my master bedroom and game room. Feel like $999 is a steal.
Keeping the Sony Bravia 7. Set picture to Dynamic and messed with the brightness a tad and it is a much better overall picture than the Samsung QN90D.
Sports, Netflix, Prime, HBO etc… is perfectly clear on the Sony. The Samsung would almost seem glitchy during fast pace baseball, basketball, hockey, and action movies.
Blue Ray and 4K is much more realistic in the Sony. The Samsung almost felt fake.
Glare is not bad at all on the Sony. Samsung was a tad better but not enough to matter.
Samsung did get a slight bit brighter but we felt it was almost too much.
Gaming with PS5 is 10x better on Sony.
Thanks for everyone’s input.

I ended up buying both and will test them out this weekend. In typical fashion… the Samsung came in with the box damaged and the TV was scratched on the corner. Should get the replacement in today.
Samsung was $1,399 from Best Buy. Their return policy blows big time but they sent a new one out.
Bought the Sony Bravia from Costco for $999. Return policy at Costco is awesome. Basically 90 days, no questions asked.

Only spot for TV in the living room is between 2 windows. Fits a 65” perfectly. Boss (wife) does not want the TV to cover / stretch out over curtains or windows.

Thanks all. Looks like I will go with the Samsung. Will report back once it is up and running.
Completely understand. Unfortunately for me, I can tell a massive difference in TV picture quality.
We enjoy hosting guests, watching games, movies, etc..
We spend a good bit of time with the TV on. I work from home so I see it all day.

Not really concerned about Walmart or sale items. Not being an arse…. I’m ok with spending a little to get best quality for our main viewing TV.
Just want the best TV for my situation and watching TV habits. OLED seems to be a no go due to glare. Best Option appears to be Mini LED. These 2 TV’s appear to be the most highly reviewed for my home viewing experience.

65” TV Recommendations: Sony Bravia 7 vs Samsung QN90D
Posted by CMATTE on 5/22/25 at 4:25 pm
Looking for some help. Have not purchased a TV in a while and doing research online (RTings, reviews, YouTube videos, etc…) I have concluded that these are my best options. I have always had Samsung but am open to Sony.
This will be my main TV in the living area. It has several windows and is well lit throughout the daytime so glare and reflection are a bit of a concern. Night is generally darker.
Watch mostly sports, movies, TV series, some Netflix and Amazon Prime. We do have a PS5 we play some games on and use for Blu-ray.
Does anyone have a preference / personal experience with these TV’s?

My thoughts exactly. Oh well.
Any suggestions on a new TV? Trying to stay under $1,200. Need Optical and 3 hdmi.
Looking at the Samsung Q80D or QN70F.
Open to Sony and LG.
Have had terrible luck with TCL and Hiscense in the bedrooms.

I will give this a shot.

I have done that several times and the TV blinks and lights up with no images. Just dark screen. Sometimes the QLED image appears then screen goes dark.
