re: eSim - Anyone Know if This is Possible?

Posted by MnM on 8/19/23 at 9:30 am

Port your personal number to google voice and have your calls forwarded to you work phone. The only issue with this is texting, the google voice app is terrible to use for texting with the old number. I previously had this setup and eventually had everyone texting my work number. I’m now back to two...

re: Where should you go for your first trip to Asia.

Posted by MnM on 7/4/22 at 1:13 pm

I did a 4 month trip to SE asia and went to most countries except for Philippines and then did a japan/Philippines trip for my honeymoon. For a 14 day trip Japan/Philippines is a great combo if you haven’t been to either. Check out noa noa island in the Philippines. It’s one of the best places I’ve ...

re: 2022 Open Enrollment Heath Insurance Rant

Posted by MnM on 11/4/21 at 1:26 pm

That’s rough. I’d be looking for a new employer. I’m on my wife’s plan and it’s $180/month(family) and company puts 200/month into the hsa. We max out the hsa above what the company puts in and invest most of the hsa account. If it wasn’t for me and my son being on the plan her insurance would be ...

re: Lexus GX460

Posted by MnM on 7/21/21 at 1:12 pm

If you’re going to use it for off-roading, snow, and mountains then I would definitely recommend it. I wouldn’t recommend it if you live in a big city and drive a lot. Like other people said, terrible gas mileage and no new technology. We have a 2013 and live in Denver and use it to drive in the mou...

From denver I’d recommend doing Palawan, Philippines and do an extended stop over in Tokyo on the way back for a two week trip. We did this exact trip for our honeymoon and it was amazing. I looked into doing Bali and the travel times to Bali from Denver were too long for a two week trip. Look i...

re: The drive from Denver to Steamboat

Posted by MnM on 12/3/20 at 1:22 pm

Rent an AWD vehicle and drive during the day and you’ll be fine. I live in Denver now after living in the south most of my life. I drove from Denver to steamboat last ski season for the first time and part of the drive it was night and snowing and I was fine. If it’s snowing and you’re not comfortab...

I agree with not driving back on a Sunday. If you do head back to Denver on Sunday make sure you leave early. ...

I like going to estate sales and garage sales. If I was retired(I’m in my 30’s) I would be doing the same thing just to have fun and keep busy. Keep posting these threads, I enjoy seeing the stuff you find. ...

re: Can anyone recommend a TV mount that’s easy to take on and off?

Posted by MnM on 10/11/20 at 9:13 am

Check out “mounting dream” tv mount on amazon. Cheap and pretty easy to take tv on and off assuming it’s not mounted too high. Not sure how it would do outside though. Seems to be powder coated pretty well so I think it would be ok. ...

re: Used car buying question

Good point. don’t just choose any awd vehicle, do some research first. I’ve had no issues with my gx460 so I can definitely recommend that. ...

re: July in Denver + xx?

re: Honeymoon ideas

Posted by MnM on 5/8/20 at 1:07 pm

We did 12 days in the Philippines and did a 5 day stop over in Tokyo on the way back. So total 17 days. We spent in the 5-7k range, but probably closer to 7k. Check out noa noa island in the Philippines, it’s a small private island that is amazing. Probably the best place I’ve ever stayed and I’ll p...

Got this one from Costco for $200 last month. I highly recommend. Just need an outlet near the toilet and you’re good to go. After going to japan last year I had been eyeing the totos but the price on this one was too good to pass up. https://biobidet.com/products/uspa...

re: Favorite places/restaurants/things to do in Denver

Posted by MnM on 9/20/19 at 7:43 pm

Blue pan pizza. The Detroit style pizza is killer there. Prost is a good brewery if you like German beer and staying in lodo or lohi. I don't recommend the curry wurst from the food truck if you've ever had it in Berlin. Maybe check out the rino area for a lot of restaurants and bars. ...
