    OT: T-Mobile in Jackson area?

    My wife has an iPhone that we are getting ready to replace. She and the kids have been on Verizon for many years now but I’m a lot leas impressed with their coverage in Jackson area than I used to be. Probably going to take the opportunity to switch carriers. My phone is on AT&T through work...

    OT: Chicago Dining

    I’m going to be in Chicago on business most of the week. The wife is flying up to meet me late in the week for a couple of nights. Been to Chicago several times but it’s been 5 or 6 years (pre-Covid) since the last time. We are celebrating our anniversary while she’s there. Appreciate any...

    OT: For the lawn gurus - dead spots in centipede lawn

    Thanks for the tips. For those that asked, the lawn isn’t new or newly sodded. We’ve been in the house for 12 years now and the turf was established for about 2 years before we moved in. I’m almost of the opinion to use this as an opportunity to try and establish Bermuda in my yard in these...

    OT: For the lawn gurus - dead spots in centipede lawn

    I’ve got several spots in my front yard where the grass appears completely dead. I can even take the edge of my shoe, drag it across the dead areas and the dead grass will pull away almost completely cleanly from the dirt underneath. My yard is centipede and I’m used to having some weak spots...

    OT: F-150 thoughts

    Appreciate the feedback from everyone. I’m going to keep looking at the 3.5L F-150s and will go and do some test driving. I’m also going to reconsider the Tundra as well. The point made here about the fuel consumption being offset by the lack of needed repairs is a valid one.

    OT: F-150 thoughts

    I’m looking into purchasing a used F-150 in the 2018-22 model year range. Looking at what’s available on the market now, the mileage would be somewhere between 60K and 90K in the price range I’m looking at. I’m looking exclusively models with the 3.5L V6 engine. The plan would be for me to...

    OT: Midsize SUV

    We traded in our minivan last May and got a new 2023 Telluride SX. We just rolled over 20K miles and we love it. Haven’t had a single problem with it. The technology and options it has are outstanding compared to others in that segment. The ride quality and interior space has been great and...

    San Francisco

    Appreciate all the recommendations. I ended up going north up to Sausalito like many on here recommended. Ate lunch at a restaurant on Richardson Bay called Fish. Food was excellent as was the waterfront view. I had been SF many times in years past but not since before Covid. Driving from...

    San Francisco

    I’m flying out to the west coast tomorrow morning for a work conference/boondoggle. Will be landing at SFO and then driving up to Napa from there. Will be landing right at lunch time with several hours to kill. Looking for recommendations for a good lunch spot in San Fran or along the way...

    What is the best place to go eat BBQ?

    My vote for best BBQ in the Jackson MS area goes to Kenova Smokehouse just off Lakeland and Grant’s Ferry.

    Another baseball bat question

    For a really good balanced BBCOR with pop I’ll throw in a recommendation for the Warstic Bonesaber. My son had two of them and loved them both. Bonus points because Ian Kinsler who founded Warstic is an MSU guy. Meta is also a good option but not sure they’re really worth the premium you pay...

    PSA: At Home COVID tests

    I had covid back in September and now have it again. I’m assuming in September I had Delta and now have Omicron. One thing I will point out is that with Delta I tested positive on every rapid test I took plus the PCR. This time I was negative on every rapid test but positive on the PCR. The...
