Re: What bank and credit card do you use?

My SoFi limit is $25k a day and remote deposited check funds are available 2-3 days quicker than with my traditional banks.

Re: BBQ's

Obviously none of y'all are from the south. BBQ is something you eat, not something you cook on. ;)

I have a Nikon d300s that I use mostly for concerts, so I'll need to add some new lenses before I get out there. Right now have a 50 f1.4, 85 f1.8, and the 55-200 vr. ...

Re: Need some TV/DVD wireless stuff help

Re: How to choose a boat?

Re: How to choose a boat?

jjones, that's quite a pretty boat. Is it just me or is her beam wider than normal? Makes for more room and the layout is interesting. I could *almost* afford one if I blew my whole boat and...

Re: How to choose a boat?

Oh, great information, thanks! Sounds like I definitely need to look at boats with a shallower draft. Keys, Bahamas, and Chesapeake are all places I want to go. They made a centerboard version...
