  1. If your goal is Pompeii and Herculaneum and other sites like that, it feels like Sorrento would not be a great base. Also, good call on Ischia over Capri as it may be less overrun.
  2. Exactly when I bought my Black Crows with a nice set of Tyrolia bindings. Price was way lower. Also, look outside the US as sometimes you can get good deals through reputable shops. Found mine in Scotland and had them shipped. Still saved quite a bit.
  3. If you're in Austin, I would strongly recommend you sign up for AFD's SIZE program. Two firefighters from the wildfire division will come review your property and provide guidance to make it more defensible in case of a wildfire. Won't cost you a penny. Now... I have a question. I've heard about putting 1/8" mesh over soffits to prevent embers from coming in the holes. We have Hardie soffits (and siding) and while I understand the need for mesh, it feels like our vents/holes are very small. Any thoughts? Here's a picture...
  4. That can happen in Cervinia/Zermatt because of high winds. I really want to check out the Swiss Wall, though. Same goes for the Tunnel run in Aloe d'Huez which I hear is mostly much ado about nothing.
  5. I'm very happy find out that Italians use the leopards eating faces meme as well...
  6. Those are so rewarding for the skier and the audience. Somewhere I have a picture of my cousin eating it at Breckenridge. He ate it at the top of a steep black run and slid all the way to the bottom. His skis stayed at the top and he had to climb up and get them
  7. Any suggestions on places to catch live music in New Orleans? I'm thinking of places like Empire/Mohawk/Continental Club/Scoot Inn... basically places to see good bands but not necessarily typical New Orleans jazz
  8. Definite oops... green onions/scallions
  9. But, here you go... https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a58253/best-homemade-chili-recipe/ I used fire roasted tomatoes I adjusted spices to my taste/family's taste and use ancho chili powder I did not drain the fat and used 2 lbs I replaced kidney with black beans *gasp* Sour cream not allowed anywhere near my chili Also had sliced tabasco peppers for toppings with the green beans and cheese Yes, Fritos were present
  10. Maybe I can get a picture of the minimal leftovers
  11. Made some chili last night that came out exceptionally well. Made one tweak and used fire roasted tomato this time. Oh... and I put in black beans and I don't care.
  12. Fully aware. Just like Cincinnati Chili ain't chili
  13. Missed the rocks so success!
  14. Like this...
  15. Yeah, like I said... I see L&L and I know think that place. Still weird going to Leroy & Lewis' new location vs the Cosmic food truck. Anyway, have a Hawaiian friend who swears by L&L. Its like the Hawaiian McDonald's. 200 locations, mostly HI and the west coast.
  16. I'm assuming L&L is Leroy & Lewis 'cause the only L&L I know is the Hawaiian chain on William Cannon
  17. Working on arranging ski rental for my youngest son... I am working on getting him more used to all-mountain skis and better equipment so we can go do more off piste. Anyway, I'm always fascinated by how much cheaper it is to rent in many European resorts (found this particularly the case in the southern French Alps) vs the US. This is for 6 days... pretty sure comparable skis + booths in place where we've rented before in the US would be $300 + tax for 6 days
  18. Winter Park can be a bitch when its really cold
  19. Give it some time and a period of adjustment and I think it will be fine... https://www.kxan.com/video/how-did-the-first-weekend-of-allowing-cars-on-6th-street-go/10386117/ Change is hard. Some people really have a hard time adjusting to change.
  20. My sister-in-law used to live there. The cold there is no joke. Fraser, with an annual mean temperature of 38.0 °F (3.3 °C) (or 34.8 °F (1.6 °C) based on another station in town) is one of the coldest incorporated towns in the lower 48 states. It can and does get frost year-round, totaling 287.3 nights under 32 °F (0 °C), rivalled only by towns in northern Alaska and Bodie, California, A freeze has been recorded for every single date of the year, one of the only locations in the entire United States to hold that record.[12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraser,_Colorado
  21. Always a fan of watching Andre's videos...
  22. Maybe he can fill us in on the non-culty tradition they have when they win a national championship BTW, since aggy likes to use random time periods to talk about their success, this random block of time is phenomenal... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_win–loss_records_in_the_2000s
  23. Seems to be based on the homicide map that keeping the ban in place in section 5 might be good. Can confirm you can drink legally on South Congress. You go to the Tiny Grocer walk-up window and get a drink.
  24. Best? No... but you should definitely go to https://www.instagram.com/einprositfinebeers/?hl=en at some point As for discounted lift tickets, gooooood luck. Your best bet is three-day packs at the mountain that outperforms them: https://store.arapahoebasin.com/s/lift-tickets/p/2024-25-multi-day-packs
