Any reef fish can cause ciguatera poisoning, but species such as barracuda, grouper, red snapper, moray eel, amberjack, parrotfish, hogfish, sturgeonfish, kingfish, coral trout, and sea bass are the most commonly affected.  - from google

the barracuda is the most likely, probably the way they hunt in the reefs. the morray eel is a close second but after you see one face to face, then eating one is out of the question

A coworker paid for his wife’s boob job. She probably started cheating on him about the time she got over it and divorced him within two years. He told me that they were splitting the assets 50 50 and I told him to ask for Leftie.

We're in baseball, flag football, wrestling, gymnastics, dance and soon to be starting softball. Baseball is by far the worst offender. 

i never played a baseball game more than 20 miles from the house and 20 miles on a bike for a ten year old was fine.  nowadays a ten year old is stuck in the yard under moms eye and the games are across the state and in other states. i dont really see how thats better for the kid or for the mom

I thought of your quote as I was driving home today.  Here is my daughter and her friend coming back from getting food.  She takes her horse through the drive thrus.  She is banned from the mall though.  Her and a bunch of friends went to Wetzel Pretzel with their horses.  Apparently, they scared the shoppers at the mall, and there may or may not have been some horse poo involved too.

And her horse protects her.  That particular one she is on can be real mean, but not to her.  He is sweet to her.

Horses in a parade, at least around here, have a "diaper" hanging behind their behind, that might be a solution.
Personally, I would kick everything around me if someone tried to do that to me, but I'm not a horse.

A bunch of teen/pre-teen kids don't think that far ahead.  They wanted pretzels so they went.  Actually made the paper in town 🤣.  They had gone a few times before, but managed to avoid the Segway Security patrol.  Horses are much faster and can go over more terrain than Segways.

Dutch Bros (similar to Starbucks) also doesn't let them use their drive thru.  They need to tie them up and go to the walk-up window.

This photo was Dutch Bros before they changed their stance.

Someone talk me out of buying my wife a large SUV (Expedition, Tahoe etc). She claims she needs the room w/2 kids, little league sports equipment and all her sales job detritus. I suggested a minivan and she gave me the stink eye. 

Been down that road and landed with an Expedition.  Great soccer hauler, especially if they end up with the traveling team deal.  She wanted the SUV and a minivan was never on the radar.  Early on only around 5-7K miles/year, then 12-15K/yr for about a 4 year run.  Around 80% of that mileage was kid sport related.  FWIW-

I never understood soccer mom equating to need for large SUV and you mention soccer hauler. Seems like except basketball, soccer requires about the least amount of gear 

I'm past all this, but you obviously have not lived it.

Let's say there's a weekend tournament. Oh wait, let's say it's almost every weekend. you are often traveling hours away to a tournament with a variable schedule. You have usually multiple kids, luggage, a very large cooler, pop up tent, a travel grill, chairs. Am I forgetting anything? Possibly. This goes for soccer, baseball, softball, horseback riding, etc etc 

It's a lot. 

Lived it, but not like that. All our games were 15 minutes away.  Three of my five kids played, but at low level and never stuck with it

Do the horses take theirs with oat milk?

They are caffeine junkies.  They like the redbull coffees, with oats on the side.

@nolaegghead - any plans to increase your shop floor space/volume by motoring that Porsche in the next few months?

You can never have to many casters

Unless your shop floor is gravel…. Then no need.

That is my mantra.  If it is in the shop and has legs, it needs wheels.

I have a couple big boxes of casters.  If I see someone throw something out with decent casters, I'll grab 'em. 

Ozzie_Isaac

Ah, the imprecise nature of the english language.  Do you grab the casters, or the people throwing the casters out?

I hug them in a motherly way, of course.

I sense a little animosity.  Nothing like enjoying imaginary coffee from the imaginary porch.  I bet you are looking forward to being done.  Hopefully your subs can stick to timelines.  In AZ home building is pushing out 12-18 months due to contractor availability.

It’s good when you are friends with licensed

electricians
HVAC specialists
grading
plumbers and septic specialist 
sheet rock and painters
and have GC who has crews to fill in any gaps..

but those are all imaginary as well..

not animosity, just offering some fries for other folks salt..

and we’ll be living in the imaginary barn while the imaginary house is built..

ill save people the effort, this is a picture from the internet
