$50+ per night for parking


thats the going rate for valet at almost all hotels in the area

I usually find a lot somewhere to park myself, even for the same money

I hate having to wait for a valet to get my vehicle at checkout time

Best NA beer out there?


There are some pretty decent ones out there.

finding them on a shelf somewhere is the issue.

I picked up some Bero from Rouses a few weeks ago.

They put out a west coast variety and a hazy.

I was impressed.

How is the towing with the 3.5?


I tow a 24' boat without issue.

engine is smooth.

Previous truck had the 2.7 eco boost that towed the same boat without issue.

obviously the 3.5 has more power and is better suited for the job.

quote:

Any advice/experience with the powerboost.


I have a 2021 xlt 4x4, 3.5 powerboost with 140k miles.

no issues whatsoever.

I changed the battery around 100k.

I drive 85% highway miles. Avg around 21 mpg.

truck has no trouble towing

i'm a Ford guy and have zero complaints with this setup.

I'd guess the business bought that camp to entertain clients.


Almost certainly.

Also, if you read the listing, the 5.5 includes more than just the camp.

Does anyone have some other recommendations?


I was hardcore community ever since I started drinking coffee.

Someone on here mentioned Folgers Black Silk (roasted in New Orleans).

I switched and dont plan to go back.

Its good and dark without the bitterness.

Excellent coffee.

Just to be clear, Michael did kill Sollazzo and McCluskey.

I bought a refurbished one from their website for about $230.

Had it for close to a year now with no issues.

Vastly superior to any pod brewed coffee.

If this one dies, I'll buy another one.

Why would fasting Muslim children need to be in the cafeteria to be offended in the first place?
