Last time we went to A-Basin it was completely iced over and it was not enjoyable on their terrain. Need to give it another shot as that year was garbage everywhere. We generally stay around Silverthorne and then hop mountains a couple of days at a time. The convenience of ski in/out is nice, but weāve been in the area so many times weāve found it to be a better guys trip to mountain hop and mix in a snowmobile ride in the middle somewhere. Booked a Copper trip for Spring Break to get my youngest out on a board at least one more time this year. Itās still my favorite mountain in the area. Low crowds, variable terrain for everyone, east to navigate, easy access, etc.

Things you learn on here, I always thought Loveland was the highest in that area. We had a great time skiing it two years ago for a day, although you better be prepared to walk/climb to ski the upper areas of it unless you can grab a ride on the Ridge Cat which was different. There was virtually no one there and the drive up has some great scenery.

Training management in the corporate world seems like the natural fit if you donāt want to move into the college realm. A lot of companies are looking for training directors, learning directors, etc. Weāre in the process of hiring one right now to oversee our continuing education program.

Went with a Bouqās subscription this year because sheās been buying flowers lately. We technically donāt buy gifts although I usually end up doing something, so technically she doesnāt buy gifts I guess.
-
Weāre looking at Whistler for late April. They have a mid May expected closing date this year it looks like. Never been that late in the year, but our guys trip got pushed back so weāre thinking about trying it depending on travel restrictions also.
-
Baron went under contract in under a week, looks like weāre definitely going to be upgrading to the King Air. Be nice to have a little more room, going to suck when the bills start coming in versus what the Baron cost to operate.

Some version of one is probably engrained in every guy. Limited commitments, making it in your own, no one looking over your shoulder or that you report to, a spouse that is all in on the same lifestyle, etc. That particular version looks absolutely miserable to me though. Mine would involve a boat and a warm climate. Every new commitment pulls me further from living that reality, but hell it was probably dead and gone when I married someone at 20 that didnāt like the water. Now I do everything I can to chase some version of it that works for both of us. Saying that, spending a few weeks in the 2nd pic with the half my age, perfect 10, second wife doesnāt sound like a bad gig either.

Not a good comparison, the Cowboys severely underperformed with a generally decent roster and serviceable QBās. I donāt think anyone would say the Dolphins underperformed with the roster they have had.
-
You do remember he coaches the Dolphins, right? He also coached them through the period where they traded away their decent players to stockpile picks, allegedly made offers to tank games, drafted a hurt Tua to hang their future on, have an owner that is a joke to everyone, not to mention taking them to a .500 overall record in the AFC East and almost making the playoffs even though he had to use Brissett as his QB for a chunk of it, etc. Iāll take a sizeable futures bet that says at the end of the next 3 seasons they are below .500 for the period. Flores isnāt the second coming of Bill, but he can clearly coach better than some of these guys out there. As far as the detriment to Tua, he can put on his big boy pants. Everyone in the NFL is taking Watson over Tua.

The world is turning into a bunch of over thinking jackasses in the middle of some sort of existential crisis trying to keep up with their internet āneighborsā with people constantly yelling at them on various ānewsā outlets about how pissed they should be about something that doesnāt affect their lives daily. Turn it off and just enjoy the fact youāre sitting where youāre sitting and it could always be worse. I donāt consider myself a āhappyā person, I think Iām too much of a realist to be āhappy.ā However, I donāt watch the news, have zero social media interaction, visit this website and ESPN and a couple of others and thatās about it, go to church on Sundays, and live my life. I figure Iāve got a pretty limited window to enjoy it (and that window feels like itās rapidly closing the older I get), but Iām going to try and make something of my time here and not give two shits what anyone else thinks about my life choices.

No, expand the structure in place with more smaller scale incentives. Everything doesnāt have to be directed at the head coach. Provide opportunities for success and inclusion, incentivize the results that are deemed progress, etc. and push the change at the lower levels. There are a number of ways to skin a cat. Find something that works and achieves some semblance of progress. The couple of you arguing that he was going to get one of these last jobs have no basis to make that argument. NO has locked in from what it sounds like, Houston was going a different direction, etc. He had a reason for making the move now and weāll see how it works out.
-
Incentivize the result you are looking for through draft picks or cap credits.
-
I would say that if his issues with Miami ownership are accurate, then he probably believed Ross was going to poison the well amongst other owners which would keep him from getting another head coaching job any time soon.
-
Everyone is free to make what are seemingly bad decisions, your posts in this thread are evidence of that.

Got the build notice for my F250 for the week of 3/7 5-6 months after ordering it. Paying invoice less a chunk when it comes in. Still waiting on the Bronco build notice, weāll see how much longer it is but it is also invoice less a chunk. Iāve bought from the same guy for probably 8 years now, so pricing has always seemed fair.

If you canāt see there is a problem in NFL hiring, then you clearly are part of the problem. This whole hiring cycle is a continuation of a long standing cluster and for whatever he reason he feels like he needs to take a stand. His lawsuit doesnāt have to be iron clad, it just has to pull back the curtain a little further than it is and show the Rooney rule enforcement for the hypocrisy it is. He may not get a dime (he will, but just for arguments sake letās assume he doesnāt), but you can guarantee there will be revisions made to the hiring process and the Rooney rule. Hopefully, meaningful change comes out of it as he and several others should have jobs over McCarthy and various others right now.

On #3, I didnāt go back and look but wasnāt the timing the issue. Didnāt the text come before his interview which means they had made the hire before interviewing him and that was just a token interview. I may be 100% off on that, but thatās what I remember from scanning everything earlier today.
-
Iām going to need a few more than 10, but that would be a start.
-
Itās always interesting what people focus on to try to help their cause. That was a shit throw, that doesnāt erase the rest of the game. They would not have been in that position without the pretty solid play in the end zone by the DB that caused the earlier interception and the dropped balls by the WRās in the first half. Stafford has had a lights out playoffs with a couple bad throws mixed in, but anyone that doesnāt see how great he has played is just pushing their own narrative. Not sure what any of this has to do with Dallas though.

It went back virtual for this year. They announced the week before while we were there a couple of weeks ago. The mountains were busy and running at lift ticket sales capacity MLK weekend, but people spread out pretty well so lift lines werenāt bad although traffic was pretty shitty through the middle part of PCM because people were staying off the bowls and outer areas because of thin snow cover. It would thin out pretty nicely after lunch though. Taking my youngest to Copper early March to get in a couple of solid days. Should be a nice little get in, ski hard, get out trip.

Youāre in the same position we are. The values on the Barons have gone up, King Airs are down, so weāre upgrading now. The Baron has been great, but weāll only fly two on it, so weāve been leasing a 200 and a CJ when we need more space. We thought about moving up to the 200, but at that level I may as well go ahead and pull the trigger on a CJ and be done with it. Most of our flights are inside a 6-8 hour drive, so I prefer the lower operating costs and getting there a little later and also donāt want to listen to clients giving me shit coming in on a baby jet.
-
Not local to you, but can handle anything electronically at this point. PM me your email address if you want some information and Iāll send you contact info and firm information. I do a bit of tax work in my spare time for clients operating in every state currently. Youāre bumping up against the W2 deadline at this point.

We either drive or go the house sitter route. He doesnāt do all that great being left, so I think he would probably stroke out under the plane. As far as taking him everywhere, Iām fine with it. Hell, he acts better than most peoples kids.
-
65%+ completion percentage for 300+ yards and none of the fumbles out of his hands, canāt blame this one on him at all if it goes the other direction. Heās played as well as he ever has.

Wifeās Escalade eats up some serious highway miles, will pull the boat, can carry the 2 kids and the dog and all their related stuff, etc. and does itās all pretty damn well. If I was worried about having a track vehicle, I would just buy one as an extra vehicle. Sheās been through Audiās, RRās, an Expedition, and numerous other vehicles and Iāll take the Cadillac over all of them easily.
