Her motivational skills do not hold a candle to master motivator Tim Brewster, former Minnesota Golden Gopher football coach, who was once on Deion's staff at CU. This stuff is comedy gold, Jerry:

So when should I start booking stuff? If we want to rent a VRBO, what areas should we look at? Where to avoid? When's the best time to book flights for this? Any weird things that I would need to book months in advance due to limited availability?


Two years ago some family members and I rented this propertry just outside Whitefish and a five minute walk from Whitefish Lake. It was very quiet and remote but we were five minutes from downtown Whitefish and about 45 mins to the West Glacier entrance to the park. I highly recommend. There are a ton of similar properties out there on the site.

Two buddies, both bitten by rattlesnakes here in AZ. One needed 55 vials of antivenom (at $3k per vial) and came out of it relatively ok and fortunately needed no skin grafts. His story made the local TV news.

I had a close encounter last April and posted it on the O-T:

So I’m sitting on my bike while it’s idling and getting ready to go for a spin and I feel movement on my right foot. I look down and this rascal is slithering underneath my bike. I’m assuming it was under my bike getting shade while it was on my driveway and I was in the house. First rattler sighting of the year and it’s been "permanently relocated”.

Anyone know what anti venom actually costs at the hospital?



About 15 years ago it was $3k/vial (see my story below).

Thanks for all of the replies! Going to dive further into the planning tomorrow. Is Logan Pass the best/most convenient place to park for the hikes listed above?


The only trailheads accessible from Logan Pass are the Highline Trail and Hidden Lake Trail.
quote:

Absolutely this. Just keep in mind how crowded those parks get and the Going to the Sun area WILL fill up with cars early. I'm not sure if they now allow you to schedule your arrival?


Also, those driving into the park and parking at Logan Pass are now limited to a three-hour stay due to overcrowding and you will want to get there early (by 7am) to get a parking spot if planning on hiking in the morning. Three years ago I hiked the Highline Trail out & back to the Granite Park Chalet and also hiked to the Grinnell Glacier Overlook (highly recommended) and it took eight hours. A way to get around the three-hour limit is to take one of the park shuttles to Logan Pass and back. I've read they are ticketing drivers staying past the mandated time limit. If you are lucky you will; get some footage on the Highline Trail like I did! (see attached vid)

Funny, I will be in Whitefish for a wedding Sept 12. Can't wait.

Drive up to Napili Bay and they have amazing snorkeling right off the beach


Highly recommended. I would also suggest going to Costco right there near the airport and pick up snorkeling gear (mask, fins and snorkel w/bag) for about $45 and throw in the trunk of your rental car. When driving around the island if you see a place like Naplil Bay you are set. At the end of your trip you can pack to take back with you, leave at the hotel or donate to a dive shop. Much preferred to renting snorkel sets used by tons of people.
Cris Carter had some of the best hands I've ever seen.

500mg of magnesium glycinate an hour before bed works wonders for me. As others above have mentioned the dreams when taking are pretty vivid.

I hear the water jets that arc across the pool drops the temp.



Aerator, mine runs all the time in the summer and it works great. Friend doesn't have an aerator and it runs about five degrees warmer.

Just got out of my pool- water temp was 89, outside temp is 111 (both according to my Apple Watch).

And he does have some skeletons that teams don't love



Lots of "character issues" (former gangbanger growing up in CA, assault charges against women).
Bayfield, WI is pretty cool and you can't go wrong with any of the Door County, WI towns (Fish Creek, Sister Bay, Egg Harbor, Sturgeon Bay).

You don’t have a 20 year old Gmail account for all that shite?



I have a 30 yerar old Hotmail address I use for that stuff and a Yahoo address probaby just as old (not sure it's still active).

I'm sure there are many others but those are three off the top of my head.
My Denon AVR-4308CI was purchased in 2007 and is still running strong and never any issues. It doesn't have 4K/8K video passthrough or HDMI 2.1 but it has been repurposed to my cabin and serves its' purpose. The thing is a workhorse.

Jeez, she varies from smoking to gross, depending on the pic. It's like the Seinfeld two face thing.



In person she's gross. I got to know Perez through mutual friends and he can be a bit obnoxious but a decent guy (and very generous to his friends). I'm not saying she made the story up but I will say she's a fricking lunatic. I saw her get tossed from a Scottsdale bar/restaurant more than a few times for being loud and drunk with her friends before getting banned permanently. Ironically, the restaurant is located on Phil's former home course, Grayhawk Golf Club.

I haven't seen Perez in a couple of years but he's had a rough go with what I've heard was an incredibly painful and expensive divorce and he lost his brother (a good guy) and SIL in fatal drug overdoses.

I didn’t realize the killer in Silence of the Lambs was based on a real killer (Ed Gein) until this past year when Monster was released on Netflix.



"Ed Gein’s behavior inspired numerous books and movies, notably three of the most influential horror/thriller films ever made: Psycho (1960), directed by Alfred Hitchcock and based on Robert Bloch’s powerful 1959 book; The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), which also drew from the life of Texas serial killer Elmer Wayne Henley; and The Silence of the Lambs (1991), an Oscar-winning adaptation of Thomas Harris’s best-selling novel (1988)."

Green Bay Packer draftee was a serial killer, suspected of killing as many as 44 people::

quote:

Randall Brent Woodfield (born December 26, 1950) is an American serial killer, serial rapist, kidnapper, robber, burglar, and former football player who was dubbed the I-5 Killer or the I-5 Bandit by the media due to the crimes he committed along the Interstate 5 corridor running through Washington, Oregon and California. Before his crimes, Woodfield was best known for having played for the Green Bay Packers. Before his capture, Woodfield was suspected of multiple sexual assaults and murders.

Woodfield has never confessed to any of the crimes of which he has been accused or convicted. Though he has only been convicted of one murder and one attempted murder, he has been linked via DNA and other methods to numerous unsolved homicides in the ensuing decades. Authorities have estimated his total number of killings to be as many as 44. CBS News named him one of the deadliest serial killers in American history.[2] He is currently incarcerated at the Oregon State Penitentiary.
