2. How much is the ongoing cost of such a boat? Plano please confirm
3. more wingspan
4. Popeyes spicy chicken sammich with red beans and rice
5. Lol

1) Weather is a huge factor. I'm going to go with the boat tour. Of course I have done all so I guess I am going with easiest, most peaceful, and pleasant choice for me.
2) No. Too costly.
3) teeth
4) Dinner last night. Mon Ami Gabi. Outstanding bread, outstanding caesar salad, great steak and frites, great profiterole.
5) First view - I laughed. Second view - did nothing for me.

Re: Grandma's 5 Questions for 6/19/20
Ha yup, kinda what I figured.
I’m trying to decide, for the sake of gutter’s question, whether it would be worth just sitting on the boat for 10 years to flip it, or whether the ongoing costs would still make it a bad investment.

Re: Grandma's 5 Questions for 6/19/20
and re: people still buy these fucking things, I think for a lot of higher end consumers, their hobby more than anything else is just spending money.
Re: Grandma's 5 Questions for 6/19/20
They are hard to sell and you will lose your ass financially.

Yeah, most successful flips don't occur on an asset that depreciates at 18-20% per year.

3. May a little taller.
4. Cheeseburger from Raphael Hotel. Better than Capital’s.
5. I chuckled.

I love you guys and girls! Believe it or not, I actually do read all your responses.
Thanks for playing along and it's always a bonus when people offer insight and educate me.

Re: Grandma's 5 Questions for 6/19/20
1. Cubs game I guess. I've never been. Not a big baseball fan.....boat tour of river/lake might be cool too, especially if its the Vince Vaughn boat tour from whatever movie that was from.
2. No because I probably couldn't afford those things required in the stipulations.
3. I guess taller.
4. Local Mexican restaurant take out. We had a taco tray of 12 tacos (4 different kinds: steak, chicken, pastor, carnitas), dip sampler: chips, salsa, guacamole, queso, and their queso/bean dip, and sides of rice and beans. Holy fuck it was amazing. Had it twice in the last 2 weeks.
5. Not really.
