I’m still indexing; but, I do think we’re going to see returns slow down/normalize. I’m a bit heavily tilted towards the S&P in VOO and will likely add more VT to add some international exposure this year. I’m at 90/10 and want to be more at 80/20. As for undervalued; I think there’s still some...

Spent some time in RDJ back in 19’. The people are fun, vibrant and proud. RDJ is fricking gorgeous. That being said; if traveling with a family I’d stick to Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana. Safe, clean, touristy. Petty theft, pickpockets and muggings are thing there. Exercise common ...

re: Thoughts on Montreal and Quebec?

Montreal is a great town. Finding English speakers is a non-issue. Strong food scene. Hit Schwartz’s Deli for Montreal smoked meat. Take in Notre Dame cathedral. Public transportation is fast, safe and clean. ...

re: Old tackle box

I truly regret discovering my father’s old tackle box that sort of went extinct once he married, sold out to the man and had kids. LOL.. We didn’t have much and I drowned a lot of those old baits 30+ years ago. Old Rapala, Rattle Traps, Creek Chub and other classics. In many cases still in...

Florida resident here. A few dozen Osceola birds behind me. If looking at next year you are pretty much looking at a guided/outfitted hunt. The good news; if any, is that with the tough economy you may be able to talk an outfitter into a hunt at a relative bargain. Still expect to pay somewher...

[quote]Look up stagflation[/quote] We throw this term around far too casually. We’re nowhere near such a phenomenon. By definition it’s a combination of slowed growth, high unemployment and high inflation. I’ll admit that growth feels slower despite some numbers being released. Unemploy...

Franchises are tough. An average UPS Store does $1M+ in annual sales and half the franchise owners make less than $50K per year. Costs can be all over the map depending on the industry. Franchise fees may only be the beginning. A royalty or percent of net sales is common. In the restauran...

re: Merriam turkey hunt suggestions

Have a few Slams behind me. If looking for classic buff white tip presentation; look at Wyoming or the Desert SW. Arizona and NM. The Dakota birds look more hybrid “Mer-Rio”; but, definitely behave Merriam. We hunted the Oglala Sioux Reservation and some private land there. I’m many yea...

Stags Leap is a great one. I’ll second the recommendation to throw Chappellet into the mix. Overlooks Lake Hennessy and makes a great wine....

re: Dune 2

Posted by wiltznucs on 2/29/24 at 9:33 pm
Just got back… It’s far and away the best screen offering of Dune. I’d recommend seeing it in IMAX if given the chance. I have one casting choice which sort of fell flat for me; but, the sum of the parts is really quite good....
