Northwest Indiana Gun Owners # 25 good morning all.

I avoid their burgers like the plague. The chicken tenders are very good, and I get them every time.

If you are ever out in the Portage area. There is a great burger place called Big Time Burgers and Brews. They are bit on the pricey side. But the quality and quantity of food you get is worth it.

I'd have bet he had a basic script.

Lexus dealer tried to do that to me once. Everyone used the exact same phrases, buying a car is a complicated process, etc etc I called them on it, then they apologized with essentially the same words!

Before I retired I was buying 5-10 vehicles a year, I stopped putting up with the dealers crap long ago. Best dealer I ever worked with was Bosak in Highland, I could get in and out of there in about 20 minutes. 2nd best is probably Fletcher Jones Audi in Chicago, they just bring cars to my home.

All this car talk reminds me of the time the finance man made it sound like I wasn't gonna get the car unless I bought the extended warranty. Yea? FU. As I got up to walk out, he kissed my ass sufficiently that I went ahead with the car.

I've saved enough not buying the extended warranty all these years, that if something goes wrong, I'll write a check for it and still be way ahead.

That is a nice looking burger but it's not a smash burger which is what jedi would classify the schoops burger.

Not knocking either one but they are in different categories so it's not a fair comparison.


As for bigretic... well at least you can join the toliet bowl club like acteon.

That big time looks like a frozen patty, no?

Negative on the frozen patties. All fresh. And I forgot to add they have a great selection of craft beers. Nice bar area, and family seating area for dining too.

Anyone know of a good Firm/Extra Firm mattress?

Anyone know of a good Firm/Extra Firm mattress?

My wife and I both like Firm/Extra Firm mattresses. Went shopping and tried a bunch of them. Ended up with a lower end TempurPedic.

We've had many 14" thick mattresses of various construction. We tried the Saatva, sent it back. Tried Sealy and other name brands. Tried a hybrid from Wayfair, it's OK, in the other guest room. Bought Dasha a Lucid foam 10", it is pretty good, on the firm side of the spectrum but not extra firm. Melen has a Lucid 14' Foam, but that is not firm, it is plush, I sink into it. We have a Zinus 10" firm gel cooling mattress in one guest room, that is pretty nice. Tried that fancy air mattress that lets each person adjust their own pressure, uh, no.

But the current mattress, which is very comfortable and firm (not extra firm) is a 10" TempurPedic, fairly basic version. Got it last year. Love it. We had TempurPedic years ago, balked on the price. Big mistake. They are worth it. But stay away from the plush variants. Not all 'memory foam' is the same. Budget choice would be either the Zinus 10" or the Lucid 10".

Tuesday morning and the daylight is getting shorter by the day.

Are you taking the other stuff, like Meloxicam, etc...? I only took the Oxy for one day, but the whole package of stuff they give you is optimized for healing, not just pain relief. Staying on the drug schedule made it a lot easier with the PT and healing, at least for me.

.

When I busted my leg up many moons ago and they put a plate in the doctor gave me Tylenol 3 (maybe Tylox??). Best dang pain killer I ever had. When I asked if I could get some more, he said no. I am anti drugs with a relatively high tolerance. If Listerine or Anacin can’t fix it, I’m in trouble.

Sunday, in my walk-around before mowing grass, I came across a big yellow jacket nest in the ground. I just mowed that area 2 weeks ago, and didn't notice anything or get stung. They sure built it fast.

I disposed of it with extreme prejudice.
