I would applaud buying beer at the Supermarket with an Amex blue cash preferred card for the 6% cash back.
Buy gas station gift card at grocery first to earn fuel rewards, then buy beer at gas station with those gift cards.
BOOM. $.60 plus .$.05/gallon gas.
Or a panini maker, either way...PROFIT
I'm at Lee's, for some reason the credit card companies just categorize it as a general store. Kind of irks me too the marina charges you 3% to use your card. I hate walking around with cash.
Hard to imagine Pti, the stingiest of stingy, earns zero rewards. I know Mrs Pti (non traditional) is all over it.
Must admit, I thank Gyero for getting me on the rewards game.
I've been happy with Lee's. Nice facilities and staff. Harbor restaurant is good, and they'll deliver to the dock. Marina has great pizza and live music on the weekends. Big breakfast on the weekends. Plenty of lodging nearby for guests to stay. Plus it's the only wet spot on the lake from what I'm told. Nice liquor store at the top of the hill. Can get there in under 75 minutes. Lot of Ohio Navy, but they've been super cool to me. Maybe Chad was right...
I've heard nice things about Alligator, Conley Bottom, Jamestown, and State Dock. Just hard for me to justify the extra 30-60 minutes each way. True it puts me further away from the "party coves," but that's usually where your boat gets destroyed or people injured.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – If you’re scoring at home - and you know you are – the addition of 10,000 seats to Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium will give the University of Louisville a dazzling homefield environment.
And a large one. Fully expanded and enclosed, PJCS will rank as the 32nd largest venue in college football, sixth largest in the Atlantic Coast Conference and largest in Kentucky.
Think of it this way: Louisville will have a larger stadium than Oregon, TCU, Mississippi and four other programs that will begin the 2015 college football season ranked in the Associated Press Top 25.
I remember the day PJCS opened. Claude Bassett, Kentucky’s bombastic recruiting coordinator, walked onto the field, surveyed the bowl and cracked, “It’s a nice little stadium, if you like 40,000 seats.”
Try 65,000, Claude, which will be about 4,000 more than Kentucky will have space for when a remodeled Commonwealth Stadium opens in eight days.
Louisville football doesn’t operate in anybody’s shadow any more. Not in this state.
Eight days before Kentucky will open a stadium that it downsized by about 6,000 seats, Louisville announced it is eager to enclose the North end zone.
“I don’t think we’ve been chasing anybody,” Jurich said. “I really don’t … To say we’re trying to keep up with anyone, we’re not. We want to do our own thing.”
Louisville didn’t average 40,000 fans per game until 2004.
Then came an Orange Bowl. And a Sugar Bowl. And Charlie Strong. And Teddy Bridgewater. And the return of coach Bobby Petrino. And the move into the ACC. You know the story. Everybody in college football does.
The one constant?
Tom Jurich.
He’s all gas, no brakes. Some have suggested the place won’t be fully expanded and upgraded until 2019. Jurich said he would love to complete the project earlier than that.
“We all know if Tom says something is going to happen, it’s going to happen,” Petrino said.
It’s going to happen. Just as you knew that it would.
Phew. Was worried Bozich wouldn't be on board.

Yeah... Sure thing, fatso. EVERYBODY in college football is on pins and needles with UL's every move. Nobody outside Jefferson County gives 2 ***** about UL Athletics. Nobody.
What a washed up, hack. Go down to the fair and choke on Krispy Kreme donut, Bozich. Loser.

Claude Bassett??? Way to stay timely and relevant dickhead.
Nothing like some Claude Basset smack to get your point across...
You guys know good and well that this is gonna eat at Claude Bassett for a long time. Wherever that dude is, if he were to somehow come across this article, maybe by randomly googling his own name, (assuming he's still alive, I think he probably is, but not sure.) this is gonna get shoved right into his fat face.
I mean, you're expanding your stadium, and the thrust of the article in your hometown sports column is about how hard Kentucky can suck it now that you're on their level. That sort of means you're still not on their level. I mean Christ, Bozich is right, they've been to marquee bowl games, they're in a power conference, they've been better head to head, but to hell with all that if you're still trying to dick-measure with us while we're busy trying to dick-measure with the rest of the SEC.
This is as simply as I can put it. You can go out and win a national championship if you want to. And if the next day, the Courier-Journal is running articles about how hard UK can suck it? You're still our little brother.
And all that from Bozich and not a single word about actually filling the place up.

TOM JURICH: It will be just like Dallas. You know how Dallas when they come out, they're coming through a bar? It will pretty much be like that, coming through a bar, nightclub. We don't drink here so we won't do that. There will probably be some food there.
I mean, I want to drink at ballgames but that seems a bit excessive.

If something that sells beer goes into the building, I'm fine. Otherwise
Having a place you can easily walk to at 11 PM to get beer is something I'm used to
Did you move back to Lexington? I noticed on untappd you were checking in locally but thought maybe you were just in town visiting family.
Thanks to technology, isn't the trend to downsize seating capacity at stadiums and make them more "comfortable." Isn't Average Joe trending on tailgating, then going to a sports bar at kickoff to catch a better view?
So congrats to UL on purchasing those sweet pair of Jordache Jeans, basically. Imo.

This makes me embarrassed for him... like, "I can feel my face blushing" embarrassed. Those are three of the most pathetic paragraphs I've ever seen a "journalist" write.
Where is this actually posted? I'd like to print this out and put it in our "NO" folder for our student workers.
Yeah, been back for a few weeks. Finally getting settled in for the most part
-blast at the KSR scramble yesterday. Great group and great weather.
-golf is just a ***** of a sport. So much of a monetary and time commitment. Especially if you want to be decent. But dang it can be a great time and those 1 or 2 shots will suck you in.
-SAE waxing to the new campus. It's gorgeous over there folks. We've been telling you this. Including the stadium area. You're going to be proud. But if you feel the need to bash Meetch and Eli over a 1 billion dollar campus overhaul then have at it. Just know that you're the issue and miserable.

I left before dinner but apparently a team got to -20. We got to -10. I think BBdK got to -14.
The DII coach that loves to go for it on 4th down, anywhere on the field, is now coaching at Montana. They just went for it on their first series against 4 time defending I-AA champ NDSU. Should be a fun game to watch.
If this game was any indication it is going to be a wild and crazy year.
