Anthony's Italian Deli has a good one. So does Bistro Italia.
We have a few in BR. I think it's a pretty solid fast-food burger.

Have the exact date nailed down for my retirement. Just not sure on the timing

I'm shooting for 60. It kind of depends on how our investments perform and if we can get our house paid off by then. I don't think the latter will be much of a problem.

12 more years or so if everything works out.

It's a mixed bag imo. Zaxbys chicken has better seasoning. Their sauce isn't as good though. Zaxbys has better fries, but also crapier Texas toast.

The Winn Dixie at Hooper and Joor is also changing hands. I went there this morning and they are rearranging the ailes and doing stuff with scissor lifts in the ceiling. They also had all WD store products 40% off so I loaded up a cart with pantry staples.

This used to be the only grocery store in Central. It's older than me, and I'm pushing 50. My Mom is pissed, I'm hopeful for the change.

That particular location isn't older than you. I'm about your age and worked at the original one which was in the current Tractor Supply building. I worked there for a year in 1994. The current location replaced that one in maybe the late 90s or somewhere around then.

I wonder when we'll eventually have a team have to forfeit a season because they don't have enough players?
Rouse's is a solid upgrade over Winn Dixie.
You've got to wonder how much of this was talent vs development/coaching. We had 4 NFL guys on that 2024 OL, and we still couldn't run the ball.
We've had way worse, but he wasn't an elite kicker either. Just had some longevity. Solid, but not great. I wish the young man nothing but the best.
It's not a high end place, but Oriental Pearl is our favorite.
frick it. I'm in. I know it was the Titans, but I don't think we need a QB for next 7-10 years.
I had a gun pointed at me for letting someone out from a CVS parking lot into traffic :lol:

I've have the 85". It's been a good TV.
I care enough to watch it, but the outcome doesn't really matter all that much.
Yeah, we are working a half-day today and that shite was kinda dangerous to drive in. Luckily, I'm all surface streets and don't have a long commute.

Got a 2018 F150 STX I bought in 2019 from CarMax for about $27k. It had about 25k miles on it at the time. It now has a little over $140k, and knock on wood, it’s been a good vehicle.

I drive a 2017 XLT that I bought used in 2017, but it only had 8k on it. I worked from home for years during Covid and now have a 5-mile commute to work. It still only has 73k on it. I hope to get another 5-7 years out of it.

Maybe he knows how to stop a mobile qb and that will be his contribution because we have yet to see that under Baker.

Maybe we won't have to worry about holding everyone to under 24 pts anymore :lol:
Up another 3% this morning. I had no idea dumping a bunch of money into SLV in August would end up being my best investment of the year :lol:

We used to travel for Thanksgiving and stay home for Christmas. My in-laws are gone now though so we don't travel for either.

We'll be entering this post-work world just about the time I retire :lol:
