re: Munich for Oktoberfest 2024

Posted by tchoupastyle on 10/10/23 at 3:11 pm to
Just came back from a 12 day vacation in Germany and Budapest. Started in Berlin, then to Munich for oktoberfest, Nuremburg, ended the trip in budapest.

For oktoberfest- be sure to reserve your tables in advance if you want to gurantee a spot for a particular tent at night. During the day I didnt have a problem tent hopping and exploring the fest. In the afternoon/night is when the tents were all packed. If you didnt have a reservation finding a seat, even for a small group, was tough. We had tickets to the Paulaner tent the night we went. There was twenty of us so we had multiple tables and were really close to each other. Was really fun. Went back the next day solo and made friends in all the tents I went to. Was much easier to move around especically at night.

Augustiner- everyones favorite beer. was really good.

Hacker-pschorr was another pretty tent. "Heavens of the Bavaria". Beer is ok but the inside views were awesome.

CASH ONLY

Do not wear a costume, costume lederhosen/dirndl, or a T-shirt version. Better off wearing normal clothes over that. I advised a friend to not wear an amimal halloween costume and he was actually denied entry to one of the tents.. He goes to the souviner shop and buys a t-shirt lederhosen. The bouncer was just as furious than before but eventually let him in. There are places to rent real dirndls and lederhosen second hand if you want to be festive but not pay outright for a set.

Dont sleep on Budapest. bunch of night life, and history.
One of our days was spent at the thermal pools. Not only were the thermal pools relaxing, but ventured into the hot saunas and cold pools as well. They offer massages and they werent badly priced. I opted for the beer bath jacuzzi instead, $45 for 45 minutes plus unlimited

Wonder if she swam in the lake. Maybe that brain eating ameba got her.

Wrong…. Clearly a mullet.
I got 2 from rouses 2 weeks ago. First time trying them since their return. Didnt have an issue.
There is a NR deer hunter package license... includes: NR All Game Hunting, NR Archery/Primitive Weapon/Crossbow, NR Deer Permit, HIP, 1 Year Magazine Subscription.
$380

I think this package saves you $45 compared to if you bought everything separately. Basically making the deer permit $5.

Also, the second Primitive weapon season is in a few weeks so you can use any legal firearm on private lands. Further extending your season if you don't own a " traditional" primitive weapon.

I'll be buying this package in the next week or two.

hopes this saves some people a few bucks.
Shame you are getting the run around on finding a reliable contractor. I had a friend use HD for flooring on one of his rentals and it turned out well.

Iam not much help on the contractor part but I sell appliances. I have been able to beat HD prices and we do offer installation for the appliances. If any of that interests you send me an email on what you are looking for and I can send you some options.

OP send me an email with your model number. I sell appliances and have been able to beat the big box store’s prices majority of the the time. Shawn@dts-direct.com
When in doubt taste your water. you want it slightly over seasoned. Have some cayenne and other seasonings on stand by and adjust to taste.

My gas grill rusted through after a few years. I made the switch to charcoal and haven't looked back.

I have a PK original. As other posters have said its cooking space is limited. I usually cook for the wife and I; maybe a few friends for a guys night. So the cooking space hasn't been too much of an issue for me. Its probably maxed out for my cooking needs. Other than that I enjoy using it and its holding up solid. Might have to replace the grate next summer but the aluminum housing looks like the day I bought it.
Any updates on camp Robert? We rent it out every year. We were just there 3 weeks ago. Just curious if any photos have surfaced.

TIA

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Craig seems a little out of my range. Cousin is getting married 8/31. Trying to stay close to the big fork and whitefish area. Monday is my “float day” as we have to wait till the afternoon for check in around the east entrance of glacier national park.

Thanks, I was on their website a few minutes ago. I'll probably be solo on this trip. Good to know a half day is plenty of time. I was curious about that as well.

What kind of fish did yall catch? all rainbows? Any variety?

I don't have much to compare as well. My experience with fly fishing is a shakespeare entry flyrod kit and caught some bass and sac-a-lait on a popper.

Has anyone done any guided fly fishing charters around flatheadlake, whitefish, or near the east entrance of Glacier national park? how was it; recommendations? 8/30 would be my only day to do one.
look in the grilling section at academy for butcher paper. I got mine from the Academy in Elmwood.

I love old fashions and decided to make a Mezcal old fashioned one day. The mezcal adds a nice smoky flavor to it. I substituted simple syrup for Agave Nectar as well. The agave nectar pairs really well with the mezcal. super delicious.

Help guide me on my first AR. Iam looking at the rockriver RRAGE LAR-15. I like the look of the longer rails that cover most of the barrel and definitely want 5.56/223. Is Rock River as reputable as I have them in my head? Any other manufactures I should look at? Trying to stay around $900. hoping to get the best bang for the buck with quality and price.

Heading on a small road trip with the Wife starting this weekend. one part of our trip is staying 2 nights in the Smokey's- Cades Cove. Anyone been out there recently? how are the bugs at night? We camped there two years ago during the fall and didn't have any issues. Haven't been to Tennessee during the summer months.
Not sure about New Orleans but Dorginacs in Metairie has a really big selection.
