Even the best tomatoes from the store suck. I'm planting about 30 plants, so I should have plenty for me and the critters. The neighbors had tomatoes up to October, so I should be fine. I have 3 different heirlooms, my favorite being the Cherokee Purple. I'm hoping to have plenty to give away. At minimum, I will learn.

My son is going to try to grow pumpkins. We got seeds for pumpkins grown specifically for jack-o-lanterns.

Yeah. I have some friends that do softball but I just can't bring myself to do it. And it isn't that active haha.

And I knew paintball could be expensive but holy shit

If it turns out he is very wrong and it is a great car I will still manage to avoid the first year teething issues that seem to plague most models and Subarus in particular.
Yeah, between ichi and Moto I don't think it's going to be the same. Still will probably end up with one for the fiancee since she likes creature comforts. As long as it's still RWD and can handle she won't mind extra weight or what not.

Yeah, I can get that. That's why most of my friends don't want to risk it. Maybe cuz I could still go to work on crutches or in a sling or whatever is why I don't worry about it I think.

It was way more fun at the gym when I did group classes with a personal trainer for a couple years.We would always schedule with certain people cuz we knew it would be more fun while getting killed. But now he's too successful and closes at like 5:30 instead of 8PM every day so that ended that. And the only reason I could even do that is we followed him from location to location as his reputation grew and he stopped charging us since he knew we couldn't afford his new rates.

They did have a parody song of that as their radio commercial opening a few years back.
Apparently nobody ever bothered to record it though since a search came up empty.

Did you try growing some different varieties? We haven't had too much trouble getting them to ripen on the vine. Though I think you are a bit more overcast then I am down here.

Mountain biking is pretty good in your area. Cost of entry is a bit high but once you have the gear it's not too bad. Just time consuming.

I have a couple friends I go to the gym with, but they both got pregnant. Going by myself sucks.

When I was a kid my dad planted a half acre in tomato's. He was going to make a fortune selling them. A beautiful crop ripened to perfection in early September. There were thousands of the things. By then however he had moved onto the next get rich scheme so other than about a bushel that my mother canned they sat and rotted in the field. The smell of rotting tomatoes lingers in my brain until this day.

Apparently it's more entertaining then yours You should see the "hot moms club" come in for their group session in the mornings. Talk about blood rushing to the wrong area.

My friend group is mostly 25-35 years old. A lot of them have been popping out kids lately.

One day, I hope to be as efficient/industrious as you (or at least as you plan to be ). Never really done anything with suspension or pulled/installed an engine before so I'm likely to take it real slow.
