PGI Fireworks Convention Gillette, WY

Isualum13
If any of you out there are within driving distance of this, I would reccomend going. The convention is from August 10th-16th with shows the 11th 13th 14th and 16th.

Last year it was in mason city and I went to two of the shows, including the saturday show. Living in small town iowa I dont get to see awesome firework displays too often.

Well worth the cost of admission.

Make sure if spots are reserved you get a seat as high as possible as you will be wrenching your neck no matter what and a high seat will help some. If you can get a seat on the ground and have an anti-gravity reclining chair, that would probably be best.

Also, take hearing protection as some of the displays are crazy loud.

Also, hopefully the fireball dudes will make an appearance.

Skip to 1:25 for the fireball. Watch the whole thing to see what it was made of.

Edit: read the article, the fireball dudes will be there with their "supernuke" made with over 1000 gallons of gasoline. The "supernuke" in the video attached was 650 only gallons. It will be in the show on the 14th.

Automotive Advice

Cy4Lifer
Just looking for some CF advice. Currently driving a 2014 Honda Odyssey. (Please reserve judgement). 113,000 miles. Running great, no problems. At my recent service appointment, my technician told me that at my next service it is recommended that the vehicle will be due for “factory recommended timing belt and water pump replacement”. I’m no car expert, so is this something I should take seriously or is this just a money grab (est. $995.00)?

Disney World Vacation

UNI1ISU2
Looking at doing a Disney vacation for the family. 3 young kids and my wife and I. For those that have done it what are some good suggestions so it does not cost an arm and a leg? Flight and either rental car or some of the hotel will be covered from rewards points on cc.

Stay on Disney resort?
Stay off resort and rent a car?
How many days are a good amount of days to actually go to the parks? 2? 3? 4?
Get meal plan if stay on resort?
Ways to get discounted tickets?
Necessitys for hotel- pool? free Breakfast? etc.

Any other suggestions or ideas?

Would you take this guy on our team

I am not sure. From a public image standpoint. It would be a red flag. However, the jury basically said it was pretty clear he was not guilty. Surprised Wisconsin kicked him off the team and out of school without due process. Had some really good offers out of high school like Miami and G Tech.

Vintage Auto Modification

hoosman
In a few days , I will be getting a 1963 Studebaker GT Hawk. It is a 289 CI with 240 hp. Studebaker also made the same car , same engine with a supercharger, which added 50 hp. I see there are super chargers available and I'm told it is possible to add one. Has anyone done this or had this done? I am thinking that it is very complicated regarding the tuning, ignition, install, fit up, etc. and then there is the $2500 expense. Obviously, we all want the coolest, fastest car possible, but the dealer is telling me it is still a good car as is. For that matter, he is trying to talk me into a 1957 Hawk with a 350 Chevy, but then you lose authenticity. Any thoughts or feedback? I am not an automotive mechanic. I know every one hates the model name.
