I wasn't aware. I simply stay off trails that are rated much more than a 5. If I wanted to build a rock-crawler that probably spent more time getting wrenched on than driven, I'd do it. But at my age, I'd rather take the easier trails in Uwharrie, camp for a couple days and not have to replace axles, trailing arms, etc. Get out the hose, clean it off and drive it to work.

Sorry I don't meet your high standards.

I traded a Tahoe LTZ loaded to the gills for my JK. I love my Jeep. Don't do any rock-crawling with it, but overlanding and trail runs are a blast. Got the roof rack for the wife & gear and the dogs ride with me....

My 2014 Jeep Sahara bought in 2016 for $35k. Some minor upgrades made- 35" tires on 18" wheels with a 2.5" lift. SmittyBilt Defender roof rack, LED head and foglights; KC 5" off-road lights, upgraded speakers. Just rolled 90k miles; had 34k miles when I bought it. Was offered $30k last week.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tepper owns very little, if any, of the private property surrounding BOA nor does he own the dirt BOA is sitting on. One of the many Richardson companies owned the parking rights and leasing revenue from the annual parking fees, but Tepper wants to own the land as well as everything he builds on it, which is why I think he wants to build new elsewhere.

Jeff Bezos doesn't need the money, either, but every fugging state in the country was willing to give him a financial blowjob in the middle of Times Square on live TV so he'd build a new hub somewhere in their state.

Former (and future?) South Carolina gubernatorial candidate John Warren continued his reemergence on the Palmetto State’s political scene this month, slamming an egregious piece of corporate welfare awarded two years ago to a liberal billionaire. This bailout was championed by his rival, incumbent “Republican” governor Henry McMaster, and other leading GOP politicians as part of their ongoing “crony capitalist” approach to economic development. Anyone who continued reading beyond this first paragraph and still believed this was honest, factual and objective reporting deserves whatever stupidity they enjoy in their lives.

Warren got better as the season went on. There were games this season when he looked like the only guy on the ice with any legs under him, going in hard after corner dump-ins and getting aggressive behind the net. I think he's just beginning to come into his own and I'd keep him over Fast or Bean.

The assessed tax value of the land alone is $366k, the building is another $233k. 15 years ago the total tax value was less than $200k... so yeah, he's going to clear a nice chunk of change.

The in-ground we had in Greensboro was my stress reliever after a day at work. Come home, change clothes and go vacuum and clean the pool- I found it very relaxing. I made a snorkel with about 20' of attached hose so I could hand-scrub the bottom or clean the drain in the 9' end without coming up for air.

Seen plenty of the new trendy axe throwing places that also serve alcohol......

https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2172836/seattle-expansion-draft-predicting-metropolitan-division-protected-lists "The biggest piece of Carolina's expansion-draft puzzle is Hamilton. The Hurricanes will reportedly let the star defenseman test the free-agent market, opening up an extra protection slot - which we used on Skjei. That would make Bean, who Kraken general manager Ron Francis drafted 13th overall in 2016, a suitable option for Seattle. If the Kraken want a forward, there are some attractive role players available from Carolina's group as well."

42 points in 55 games I think (without looking) is one thing, but when your team is getting beat up physically and you're a 6'5" blueliner who won't get in the scrum, I'll happily give up that 42 points for someone who'll protect my young stars and scrap a little when needed. I'll say this- if Dougie Hamilton played with a little more grit, there's a chance the Canes don't need to get Hakanpaa. And we won't even get into how many times he got burned while trying to jump into the zone and make an offensive play...

Without a goalie under contract, I don't see it.

It was okay. There were times when I thought they could have done the entire thing in about 4-5 episodes. But look, they did leave a few loose ends out there.... The baby-daddy ex-boyfriend was another piece of poo, regardless how his redemption portrayal came across. Baby-daddy's current girlfriend- another piece of work. Her own son's suicide- her daughter dealt with that far better than she. Interesting little twist at the end, but I don't think it did enough to save what I saw as pretty mediocre.

FTW. Well done and the funniest thing I've read all week!

So, 59-year old guy is banging his mother-in-law (they are closer in age) and his son, the 20-year old, is banging his 33-year old sig other. It's simple, you don't need to be Suze Orman to figure than one out.

https://theathletic.com/news/hurricanes-dougie-hamilton-on-lightning-we-lost-to-a-team-18m-over-the-cap/z0dG0hBqAH8n Hurricanes defenseman Dougie Hamilton had high praise for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday, but also pointed out how the team that eliminated Carolina in five games in the second round of the playoffs used the salary-cap rules to its advantage. "We had a great season. We lost to a team that's $18 million over the cap or whatever they are," Hamilton said during exit interviews with the media. "I feel like we played them pretty close." Hamilton made it clear he wasn't criticizing the league's rules or the Lightning specifically, but added that the situation made him wonder what the Hurricanes could do with extra money to spend on salary. "I wasn’t knocking the rules or anything. You realize how many weapons they have, and if you think about how many more players you could have with the money, you realize how much deeper you’d be," Hamilton said. "That’s just how it worked out. I know it’s happened with teams in the past, I don’t have a problem with it. You just realize how good that team was." The Lightning were tight to the salary cap all year, even with 2018-19 Hart Trophy winner Nikita Kucherov spending the regular season on long-term injured reserve following December hip surgery. Kucherov returned for the postseason, where his annual salary of $9.5 million does not impact the Lightning's cap, and leads the NHL with 13 assists and 18 points this postseason. The NHL's salary cap remained flat at $81.5 million from last season to this season due to the financial impact of the pandemic. It is expected to remain flat or near flat for the "immediate future," commissioner Gary Bettman said in March. Carolina, which won the Central Division with 80 points in the regular season, opened the playoffs with a series win over the Nashville Predators in six games. The Lightning will face the New York Islanders in Round 3.

Also be interesting to see what Tampa Bay does in the off season. Not a lot of free agents on their roster, so how do they get under the cap with 5 guys making up over half of their cap?

Why, because he's considered a 2nd year player, although he's played in 4 seasons (2 full, part of 2017-2018 and 2018-2019)?

Forwards: Scary situation here. Who are you going to expose (and it has to be 2 of these)?: Aho, TT, Nino, Staal, Trocheck, Fast, Necas Staal can't be exposed- he's got a no movement clause.

Defensemen: Canes only have 4 blueliners under contract for the 21-22 season with 40 games played this season or 70 in the past 2 seasons and they have to leave one unprotected: Slavin, Pesce, Skjei and Jake Gardiner. Jake played but 26 games this season, but played 68 last, so he's eligible to be drafted. I think the team has little choice but to let Jake go to protect Slavin, Pesce and Skjei. Let Dougie walk, new contracts to Jani, Bean and LaJoie (RFA) and go find a couple FAs.

Tampa Bay is playing with a $100M roster right now and beat the Canes, who are only playing with an $80M roster. We basically played them straight up during the season when they were without Stamkos and Kucherov. Here are your playoff salary rosters: New York Islanders (Saints): $88M Tampa Bay: $99M Vegas: $82M Habs: $82M Boston: $81M Avs: $82M

Dougie wants $8M. He'll walk if all the Canes offer is what he's making now.
