Yes.

I had two toilet tanks bust within a month of each other. We were home for one and at work for the other. No telling how bad it could have been if we were on vacation.
Brunt Marin's are very comfortable and light with composite toes. I'd put them up there with Thorogood's.
Avocado for seasoning, cooking, and for after cooking.

My paw paw was a radioman on a Catalina in the south Pacific. He was part of the Black Cat Squadron. I loved looking at his flight book as a kid. He rarely spoke about his time there except for the fact that he couldn't get a cold beer.

My maw maw helped assemble the planes in NOLA.

225 Gutters was great for us.

Great write-up. Thanks for the info.
I used it for the second time this year. Painless to use, and so much cheaper that TT. I tell everyone about it.

Definitely interested in your trip. My wife and I want to visit. My FIL has been a few times for work and said it's a beautiful place. I'm interested in the history, food, and of course the mezcal.

04 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra in Mystichrome

I only saw a few in the wild, but damn that was a bad arse car back in the day.

Ended up with an 03 5 speed danger ranger. Not nearly as fun haha.
I learned how to drive in an 84 Ford Ranger. 8 years old tearing up the logging roads by our house. My first vehicle was an 03 Ranger with 5 speed. Man I loved that thing.

We went in 2019 (my first trip, my wife's second) and loved it. Can't wait to go back and see everything we missed. Treat it as any other major city with regards to pick pockets.
I've never had any issues staying at the Holiday Inn Express on the north side of Pine Bluff. We have stayed several times on the way down from Springfield.

2019 F150 4x4 5.0 63k miles

I had an issue with the fuel system when it was new. It was fixed under warranty with a reflash at the dealer. It's been great otherwise.

We stayed at the North Block for our honeymoon. It was really nice.

We ate at Ciccio twice. Amazing food.

We got quite a few tastings comp'd when we mentioned it was our honeymoon. Idk if they still do that though.

Osage at Big Cedar is good if you want an upscale joint.

I've driven both routes many times. Driving through Rayville/Conway/Branson is much more scenic. I-55 is a bit faster, but boring as hell. Flip a coin and pick one.
We used PODS last year. The pod was delivered in June. I kept it about a week so I could take my time filling it up. They picked it up and held it in BR until I scheduled it to be delivered to a PODS location in MO. It stayed in storage up here until we found a house. Really easy process. I could have done it cheaper with a ABF, but we didn't have a house to unload into for a couple months. I recommend them.

re: Viking Danube cruise

We did the Seine in 2019. Blown away how beautiful it was. We did an extra day before and 3 after in Paris.

We are trying to decide between the Danube or Rhine for our next one.

We are in our 30s, so significantly younger than most of the passengers onboard. It didn’t bother us at all.

Moen GX50C Prep Series 1/2 HP is what I replaced our POS GE contractor special that came with the house. It's much quieter and only $100.
