All my shit talking about Nett passing out early and I was asleep by 9pm. I think the last of the chilly weather is past us and we're officially in BBQ/pool/boating weather. I am a happy guy.
I was so inspired by this thread I made a trip to Treehouse yesterday and spent $250 on beer. I forgot how strong those were. 4 beers in and I was wrecked. Out like a light at 9:30 last night.
Happy Saturday the 14th! Gorgeous day in the sun. Beer break on the deck. And the dog got her first pool.
Kiss the darkest part of my white ass, 'Wildered. Black Box cab tastes like merlot. Not that merlot is bad, it's just not what I prefer.
I loathe political ads. I swear every Republican ad is "I suck Trump's dick better than any of the other candidates!" Arrrgh.
Yeah, the south and Midwest elections seem alike. The one candidate runs solely on his “trump endorsed” status, and the others run on slogans like “We will create an America that is great once more”
Oh my. Mojitos with garden mint are delicious. @dixiebandit69 I have black box Cabernet on my shelf. It's definitely bold, and I do enjoy merlots, so maybe you're onto something.
The Cutwater canned spirits are so much better than others I have tried. They have White Russians, Whiskey Mules, Vodka seltzers, mojitos, maragritas . . . They are all good.
I'm sick of our electric golf cart. It's old, it breaks all the time. It's nearly caught on fire a couple times because I didn't clean every electrical connection on a weekly schedule. The stupid, cheap part of my brain wants to do DIY conversion to a gas engine. I've been watching the conversion videos on YouTube. The other part of my brain, which I consider to be no less stupid, wants to go buy a brand new Kawasaki Mule. That side is winning right now, but I'm fighting it with all I've got.
Take some old cold war era grenades, slap some 3-d printed fins on them, and take out Russian tanks via dropping them from a drone. Putin really miscalculated on this one. https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1525902038340718598
Imagine the 14 year old Ukrainian kid who is piloting the drone while sitting in his room with VR glasses, eating cheetos, and fortnite dancing when he kills the tank.
Some of my relatives have mules, my brother has a polaris, we have a JD gator UTV. The new mule's have all the bells and whistles, the gator has gotten them all unstuck. Don't get a gas golf cart, you'll end up wanting a side by side anyway. If you're going for pure aesthetics, go for the mule for sure, but do your due diligence and give the gators a look as well. Especially if you have kids and want the second row as well as the full bed.
I gave the gators a look, new ones seem priced beyond what I want to pay. Most used units, also. Whatever I get is going to see light use, hauling people and gas down to the dock, trips to the mailbox and dumpster. I'm not ranching or beating it up on trails. Around here, it looks like I can get a pair of Kawasaki Brute force 300s for the price of a mule, I may do that. The three of us can ride those down there. We'd probably get more use out of those as the kid ages, and might actually take those to the trails.
for lake house use like what you’re describing we have gas golf carts and those are priceless for what we use them for. The electric ones were a royal pain in the ass. Quieter, but otherwise fuck that. Gas ones are easy to fix if something as broken as long as you’re handy like I know you are. That’s the way to go for your use case imo
I'm not keen on paying so much for a gas golf cart and being stuck with its limited capabilities. When I was a young kid we had about four old Honda CT110's and some three wheelers. Back before UTVs existed and golf carts stayed on the golf course. Everyone would hop on one with a kid and ride to the dock. These old bastards...
