re: Youth Lacrosse question

Posted by pjab on 6/5/24 at 6:39 pm
The women’s game is far superior to the men’s :cheers: / / / They really are two different games. I like watching women’s more because that’s what I know. There were two simple rule changes to the women’s game this year that made a giant improvement, green cards for open field fouls and held w...

You can also buy an inexpensive stick but nice stick like an STX complete for $50 and cut the shaft very short so he can easily handle it. My daughter has used this stick during practice (they use boys sticks for small goal/tennis ball drills/3x) for years. There is an enormous difference in boy...
I think the market will have similar premiums but the deductibles are going to be significantly higher than everyone is used to. People will have to cover the cost of fences, roofs, siding etc. Insurance will be there to make a house habitable after big events....

[quote]everything is run off of a 440V crazy one. Runs a gearbox electric motor and one that goes into the turbo to prevent lag, and an 80hp one for each front wheel. No plug in. No belts on the engine, all the parasitic draws are electric now. Just nuts[/quote] At first I thought all the accessor...

I think it’s awesome. The engine is now also a generator. I doubt it will suck. It might not hold up or tech moves so fast that it’s obsolete in a few years, but atleast their trying it out....

My family went a few weeks ago. We stayed in Wailea at the Fairmont. I highly recommend the Fairmont. Fairmont, Andaz, Grand Wailea et al except for the Four Seasons are all about $1k/night. With kids, having 800sqft instead of 400 for a regular room was game changer. Grand Wailea gets a lot of conf...

Be sure to check to see if the flight you’re scheduled to be on is overbooked. You don’t want to leave free money at the airport...
My friend did within the last two years. They assigned him a place in a small city that’s nice but not desirable as a tourist. He had someone check in on him frequently to make sure he was still there (requirement for the program). He was told by his neighbor that once they stop checking, they’ll ne...

Stay in Oia in a place with a private pool and view. Settle into cocktails as the loads of cruise ship people use their sharp elbows to push each other around as you watch in the comfort of your private balcony. Laugh at the line of people waiting to take Instagram pics by the blue dome. It gets ver...
I hope the LC will take the 4Runners place and the new 4Runner will be a removable top/cap Tacoma like gen 1. One certainly is the GX will have a crazy high ADM. Considering a new Tacoma Offroad is pushing $60k, the T4R will be $60k. The LC will be upmarket from that and the GX will be much more...

Da Crack burrito stand. Tuna burrito… yes please. There’s a fish house that I can’t remember the name that had smoked marlin which was amazing. One of the big zip lining places over an old plantation was a waste of time. Boat ride to Napali coast was awesome (we went in Jan so water was insanely rou...

Old boots are 100, new boots 130. Old boots had 150+ days maybe which isn’t a lot but they were fairly basic so the quality wasn’t great. They started getting squishy about 120 days or so. A new liner might have fixed them and I may still go that route to have a pair for easy resort days. They were ...
