They really don't want to embrace the internet.

Years back we were going on our 1st cruise, they said we could each bring a bottle of wine with us. But it had to stay in our cabin, no problem. Local watering hole we frequent talked with the bartender. Some bottles of wine the foil cover would easily slip off. She kept 2 empties for us, foil and cork. I drink rum, wife likes vodka. Filled them, corked and foil back on. They checked luggage, left a paper reminding to keep them in our cabin. All good.


Some bottle checkers are better than others for looking for the cheap Amazon foil and heat shrink. Some will shake the bottle and look at the bubbles or check for color of the liquid, but this is still by far the easiest way to go if you can do a good job or making it look sealed and like wine.

I don't bother with it anymore. I married into points and get 5 free drinks and take some of hers too lol.

Great replies in here. Much appreciated guys. I think our best bet is to rent this year and get some reps in.


Check out Road Bear in the States. They have nicer rentals than cruise america or indie camper.

I'll never understand the desire for Class C's. When I'm camping, I want to leave my rig at the campsite and be able to drive a smaller rig around the nearby area.


It all depends on what you want to do with it. If your goal is to see the country. I wouldn't want to pull a trailer to setup every day or two. Plus, all the road time is much more enjoyable in a Class C, especially for families. If you are just going to a campground to spend a week or longer, I would much rather a trailer.

Honestly, I wouldn't want to own either. Unless you spend way too much money and even then, they are all made crappy. I enjoyed renting the ones I have rented though. Its an awesome way to travel.

I hate this complaint. He was telling the story of how a galactic empire came to be. Did people think politics wouldn’t play a role?


My problem isn't the politics, its how crappy the story was with the politics. It was just plain bad.

just make an old republic series dammit


They need to fire off their entire creative department first. Need to get back to telling good stories before they can fix anything. They will just ruin any old republic series they touch.

the reason we dont like new Star Wars isnt because it is for kids. it's because it sucks. there is plenty of stuff that is made for kids that i watch and like.


This is really it, if you tell a good story, it doesn't matter if it is for kids or not, people will watch. Old pixar and 90s Disney are for even younger kids than Star Wars, but adults love them and watch the crap out of them. The original Avatar the Last Airbender cartoon would have a similar target market like Star Wars and adults watch the crap out of it. The difference is this content told good stories.

Star Wars has a lot of misfires and not telling good stories and ole Freddie doesn't want to see it.

Since the prequels, most of the content IS definitely for kids...


George tried to tell this whole political drama bullshite in the prequels that most definitely went over kids heads. It sucked and now George and everyone else pretends it isn't there and just say it was for kids.
I like being WFH, I do my job and meet my goals. I don’t have to deal with stupid arse office politics or water cooler talk. Way less meetings that should have just been an email. I don’t have to sit in a car 1-2 hours a day. I would work for less money to be WFH. Obviously not every job or every person should be WFH, but I am glad to not deal with the people that need to micromanage others.

Also, why would Dean lie?



Because he took a lot of shite from most of the state and his sponsors for it. He lost sponsors. Laws got changed to make sure we could prosecute any f'ers that tried it after. It was a publicity nightmare, of course he was going to claim he didn't cause damage.

There is plenty of places in Utah to go do shite outside of our national parks, hell you can get permits for some places in parks. He knew what was up with the wording.

It's sandstone, it doesn't take much. Especially with some camera crew tagging along. Wasn't the only thing he screwed with in Arches.
I would say Potter can get f'ed for climbing and screwing with Delicate, but....

Seth can't help but put himself in it.

My oven gets to 550. If you charge the stone for 45 min - an hour, it gives a beautiful crust. I put it all the way at the top of the oven so the oven ceiling acts as the 4th side.


Understand that, steel just holds heat better for the lower temp. I always go steel over stone if using 550, still use the 45 minute to an hour wait before putting pizzas in. I have a 16x16x1/4 plate for pizzas.

Your oven does get much higher when in self-cleaning. It's an old pizza maker trick to defeat the self-cleaning lock and use the self-cleaning mode to achieve much higher temps. Do at your own risk though, :lol:. Always use a stone if you try this route. Steel will absolutely destroy a pizza at high heat.

Yes, that was a misquote but the damn author needs to get the next book out. It’s been months and I’m forgetting small details like that. I’m like, get your shite together Matt.


It's May 12, I've already read it. It's been on the Patreon for awhile. Get to see him May 16 in Nashville.

Had a pretty big drop off from season 2. There is no denying that.

That shows season 2 beginning being close to as good as a lot of season 1. I am not agreeing with that so far. I'm not sure I will stick it out, I don't like where the story seems to be progressing. Especially with getting spoiled with where they are taking season 4 now and knowing what I have to look forward too.
Interesting, I wonder how it works with the self cleaning mode trick. I probably would still prefer a steel for 550.

I'm like 4 episodes into season 2 and this thread has makes me want to quit watching it. Ever since season 2 started it feels like it lost its charm somewhat.

Nothing listed above really makes him a POS though.


The car crash his son was involved in and all that came from that absolutely makes him a gigantic piece of crap. That was listed in this thread.
East TN as well. It's top 5 maybe top 3 for me. If I have to work to support myself, it's probably 1. If I had enough money to live my lifestyle without working, I would want to be in Utah or Colorado.
