I’ve got the Big Joe 2 and just moved. I had a moving company so I didn’t have to do the work but it took all 3 of them getting it in the truck. Took 3 of my friends and I to get it in my backyard when initially bought it.. so yeah, they are definitely heavy haha.

Do you feel like having the extra space beats out the weight and longer start up times of having the big Joe vs the classic?

I need some good news on the recruiting front! Doesn't look like it's gonna be Tate, so when's our next opportunity to land a high 4-5* guy?

I just hope we get Mauigoa and Bradley. If we miss on those two, our dreams of a Top 10 class ain't lookin' so good. Spyre needs to dole out more NIL or something. TAMU bought themselves a great class. We need to do the same.

They can only give out what we put in.

Not directed at you necessarily, but anyone reading, anyone that knows friends/family that love the Vols. We have to take it up a notch if we want the program to take it up a notch. Simple as that.

Alright Vol Nation, I need some serious help.

I have a terrible neighbor. She used to harass me a bunch and then I built a privacy fence. But she still didn't get the clue and ended up cutting down some trees on my side of the property line the other week. I filed a report and I'm taking her to court for the $1600 in damages she caused (according to my arborist) and filing a no-contact order. She probably does have legit mental illness. Once told me the Wi-Fi was stealing her dreams and some other crazy things before I built the fence.

But every time I'm in the yard she just stands at her window or on her deck and stares at me. Real creepily. Last night all I could see is her silhouette behind her blinds as I was throwing the ball for my dog, but it was eerie as hell!
I have a 1/3 of an acre, a nice fire pit I built and a deck and can't seem to enjoy any of it.

I need something I can put on my side of the fence that will block her view from her window into my yard. Needs to be 9 ft tall and I don't have time for a smaller bush to grow up.

Immediate thoughts are some sort of mature hedging, or some sort of lattice that I could affix to the top of my fence to block her view but not sure how stable that would be or what options.

Y'all got any practical solutions?

So basically what I've surmised is @Weezer is the solution. But also could create bigger problems.

You know what? I've had enough of her. It's worth the risk. @Weezer how soon can you get to Charlotte?

What we need is a big win and sending talent to the first round of the NFL draft

Not really, I mean it's a rather simple machine, hard to mess up. I got mine on Amazon nothing special but does the trick. Whenever I start feeling the twinge I do twenty minutes and I'm back to 100%. I had a doc tell me I needed disc surgery. I would get spasms that was the worst pain Ive ever felt. Then I got inverted and boom, right as rain.

Very similar. I have a teeter and do 10mins per day. The doctor wanted to do a cortisone shot and disc surgery. I started doing Chiro and inversion therapy and been good since. It’s not an overnight thing though, takes a bit of time, but certainly better than surgery

Try a row of inversion tables.

And that WIFI dream stealing thing is real.

After years of dealing with excruciating shoulder pain and being blown off by two orthos, I finallly found one to give me the time of day. I have a pretty bad slap tear. Looks like here comes at surgery! Also said my rotator cuff was frayed, mostly from the abuse it’s took holding my shoulder in place. I dread it but I look forward to being able to do a push up and not be in severe pain.

The extra space aspect fully depends on your situation. Its definitely a good bit more space which for me was what I wanted, but a classic is more than enough room for a family that’s just cooking burgers, hotdogs, steaks, etc. If you like to cook briskets and larger cuts of meat the classic is still sufficient but a large brisket takes some maneuvering to get it to fit.

As for the larger start times, I honestly haven’t started a classic as I’ve only ever had a big Joe, but I have no issues getting the big Joe started up fairly quickly. Just like getting any fire started it’s just air and fuel and adding more air flow by blowers, fans, etc will decrease start up times. There are starters you can buy online for pretty cheap that blow air onto the coals and it’ll start up real quick.

This thing is a game changer and a fun toy.
