I grew up with her. Same graduating class, same school for several years. Would not have guessed!...

Looks rad! But as a group I'd rate our fitness level as "average" and our ambition perhaps a bit lower than that :lol: ...

Colorado Mountain Towns

Posted by BRPelican45 on 4/29/24 at 12:59 pm
I'm heading to Colorado in July with a few friends from college (all in our mid-30s, no kids, no wives). This is our second consecutive summer trip there - last year was a blast, but I'm all ears for anything fun to do that might fly a bit under the radar. Last year we were there for 4 days, stay...

re: Vancouver, BC suggestions

I agree with the Stanley Park recommendations (if the weather is decent, go rent a bike and ride around the rim of the park), but I don't think Granville Island is a must-see. It's mostly kitschy, tourist stuff for sale. If you're 50+ you'll probably enjoy it. Do yourself a favor and get some xi...

Say what you want about Joe Biden, but if you think *he* is the authoritarian who would stage a coup to maintain power ... I don't really know what to tell you. ...

I'm sure housing of all kinds - including hotels and AirBnBs - will be at even more of a premium than ever before. I would assume the time it takes to re-build a home is substantially longer in Hawaii than in the Continental US. If I lived in Hawaii, I'd imagine the extra traffic, wait times, co...
First place that came to mind for me was Belfast. Had a great time learning about the Troubles, Titanic Museum is probably the most engaging, comprehensive, interesting museum I've ever been to .. but no real desire to go back....

[quote]ETA: Not a fan of Primanti Bros at all, one of the most over rated food items i have ever tried fwiw[/quote] Pittsburgh is a really great, underrated tow. Good advice here.

I think he's a pretty safe drop at this point. I've seen a couple FB pundits on reddit AMAs say as much - I think the outburst we saw was a pretty major outlier when you look at this overall minor league production, scouting, tools, etc....

re: A week in Edinburgh Scotland

Posted by BRPelican45 on 3/6/23 at 11:09 am
Agree with first reply about The Scotch Whiskey Experience. It's close to the Edinburgh Castle, I'd recommend doing both of those activities consecutively. I also enjoyed Arthur's Seat Hike. Its a nice little outdoor activity in the city with a pretty good payoff if the weather is cooperating. ...
