It's unbelievable how expensive housing in in that area. My parents had a small house over near Oak Park(?) back in the mid/late 60's. They looked up the latest sale of the house and were shocked at how much it's worth now. I don't think the house is more than 650sqft and a tiny lot... That tiny old house is worth a lot…

It is. The Santa Barbara area is beautiful, and I love the area (my parents live just a little north of there). But, it's crazy expensive. I'm out there at least once a year visiting.

Ten days...

Amazin transformation as well!

Agreed, will try it at least once. Though, nothing beats fresh butcher cut bacon. Wonder if I can get someplace to make it? I know a few places do jalapeno variation brats. Hmm...

One of these days, I probably won't move for a year at least. I'm on the other side of the river relatively frequently. I'm down to the last ten days of my weightloss challenge, so I'm focusing heavily on that and absolute strict nutrition. After that, I'm relaxing it a bit and we can meetup for a beer.

Yeah, this state isn't all that much better than SoCal. I've been contemplating where I want to move next. Just not quite ready to relocate quite yet.

Poor guy, hopefully he heals quickly.

Luckily, I'm near the Mississippi and we have a ton of lakes. And, I do miss the weather in SoCal and seeing the ocean multiple times a day. But, I have issues with high prices, taxes and politics there so it'll just be visiting unless I have a compelling reason to have to move there.

:laugh: Brotherly bantering is all.

What you don't see is his other arm pushing up on his bicep from the other side. ;) I'm kidding! looking good, Chris.

Is that a bacon wrapped jalapeno? Can't say I've heard of it before. On those same lines, I did have bacon wrapped filet Mignon the other night. Was delicious.

Did you call your hot IT tech guy over only to get old, weird Harold? :laugh:

Terra Firma

Good job on the transformations!

I just couldnt help myself...

I figured you have em all....

I did! Wait, what am I supposed to know?!

Nope. But, I do remember Rikki-Tikki-Tavi...

There's a lot of "those" for me...

"Tequila!" might work. :laugh:

Did your hot IT guy finally get it right?

Haha, I was referring to people in general just thinking things exist when in reality they don't. I've seen it happen on far too many internet sites, over far more years than I care to admit. :lol: Can't make a banana split, without one. ;)

Will have to try them. Think I heard something about them in Shoreview as well?

Rare day for me yesterday to watch more than one movie: The Chronicles of Riddick (probably seen it over a dozen times now) The Incredibles 2 Warrior

Oh, I have not been there yet. I was going to suggest Cup 'n Cone because then could do Burger Bar. Or, Snuffy's and get malt with burger/fries. Or, there's always the ice cream places in Stillwater... Quite a few places come to think of it. Although, admittedly, every time I see @lstrat115 's profile pic, I keep thinking…

Including the meltdown of someone with "unrequited crushes" on websites/forums because the person they are crushing on is flirting with ten other people and ignoring them. ;) Then, I'd have to disagree with @laprimaJenny about them being a lot less dramatic. They are, however, a bit more fun to watch...

Did someone say Nachos?

https://www.meetup.com/ There's a ton of things in our area. All depends upon what you want to do. I've not done anything with it since I don't have time to join a meetup group. Even if it's work related. :neutral:
