Maybe this isn’t the right sub, but I was kind of hoping someone could make a montage of my kids best football plays and even add an announcers voice over. I’m fine with adding AI stuff or totally inventing plays that didn’t happen, I’m just looking for a fun thing to show him, he’s only 11, so it’s not like I’m sending this to scouts or anything, just a funny thing for our family to watch and laugh about. Especially would love an announcers voice over talking about him like announcers do when NFL rookies make a great play or score their first touchdown.

I’m thinking about taking a day trip from Chicago down to San Antonio to check out the Alfa Western Wear store and hopefully buy a couple pairs of cheap boots. My flight is free and I’ve got the free time, but I’m curious what everyone’s thoughts are on the physical store? Do they keep a big inventory? Will they have every boot in every size? Hats and clothing also? Are the staff friendly or rude? Is it located in an accessible area or near something else that’s cool? Best bbq spots in San Antonio?

I need to replace the tires on my 2024 Subaru Outback. Typically speaking I’m a dedicated Michelin guy but I want to consider other brands in case I’m missing something. I definitely don’t want bottom end or cheap, but I don’t want to spend absolute top dollar either. Does anyone have a recommendation for a tire in this size that offers good performance for the price?

I’m in northern IN and we definitely gets snow/ice every year. Quiet ride and good traction are probably most important to me, dominantly highway driving.

Thanks so much!

My son is an 11 yr old blues guitarist and is seeking more songs to learn that are instrumentals only. He is terrified of singing but wants more songs to perform solo at local open mics. He can already play While We Cry by KWS/Doyle Bramhall and has done sections of Lenny and Little Wing before.

Often these threads get song recommendations that are wonderful but when the backing band and singer are removed, they either get repetitive or have big gaps in them. Ideally something that is exciting enough to keep people’s interest but not so challenging that an intermediate player can’t learn it.

His personal favorite guitarists are Buddy Guy, SRV and Kenny Wayne Shepard, as a small example of his “style”

Thanks everyone so much for your suggestions.

I’m mid 40s now, retired with a disability. I can still move and do 90% of everything I used to do, but only for about 30% duration of time. I can still walk but not long distance, I can still lift weight but much fewer reps.

I used to be very active in a particular hobby, won several state championships and while I never was a contender for a national or world title, I did compete at that level a couple times. It’s not a very physical hobby but I realized my skills there have declined and I’m struggling knowing my best performances are behind me. I’ve never been a very competitive person but it’s been tough seeing that I can’t do what I used to do from both a physical and skills perspective. (This hobby is roughly 20% physical and 80% skill based)

Do I step up practice and fully dedicate myself to getting it back?

Do I accept I won’t ever get back to X level and still try anyways because there is some honor in the effort made in pursuit of a goal?

Do I accept that those times were great and just find a way to be ok with the idea that my best days are behind me?

I realize an answer may be super individually specific, but I’d appreciate hearing from other fellas that have been in a similar spot.
