    Hit 61 degrees in Mammoth Lakes today.

    Damn. All the snow is in PNW and BC looks like. Sunshine in banff area has a good base too. I was reading this is pretty typical for La Niña years. 

  2. I’m looking into picking up my first hunting rifle and I don’t want to get too exotic with the cartridge. Best cartridge for Rocky Mountain whitetail muleys and potentially Elk? I’m thinking 7mm mag after doing some research.

    Has anyone flown premium class recently? Looking at trips to Hawaii in the spring and wanted to book first but wondering how the service is? Can you still order cocktails and are you getting normal dinner service?

    I'd consider pushing this out to later in the year but wanted to travel before my little one is 2 so I can get out of buying 4 seats. However I did want to ensure I'm enjoying the trip as much as possible. Any chance beach resorts are operating somewhat normal by mid year?

    I’ve flown International and domestic business in august, October, and November. 
     

    It depends on the airline but it’s definitely less of an experience than it used to be. I’ve still been getting cocktails on delta international but its airplane bottles not the pours from Fifths. I flew Turkish international though and they only had wine in the 187 ml servings. 
     

    Dinner was still good but also a little more congested with all the plastic coverings and bullshit.

    As a realtor, once the contract is signed, my job is to make sure that shit's getting done in a timely manner.   I don't know about the Texas contract, (and I'm not going to bother downloading it) but the CA contract has time limits for when shit's gotta get done.  Appraisal, inspection, termite, etc.  

    When I get a deal together, I print out a calendar with all relevant dates and share it with all the parties. 

    It's often useful, because people forget to do shit.   "Did you remember to order the Home Warranty?"  

    Oh shit, I forgot.  Thanks for the reminder. 

    Happens on every deal. 

    Do you know of a good resource for these issues as far as California goes? I’m selling a house in California to a friend of mine who’s been renting from me for a few years and we’re trying to go down this path as well. 
     

    I found this resource for the sales contract and disclosures but I don’t see anything about timing and dates?

    I am mostly doing this as a out of sight out of mind saving account, but do enjoy the "thrill" of maybe winning the lottery. So far the return is above my money market 

    Same. I’m just letting it slowly accumulate some weekly deposits for potential future fun money.

    Do yall think anyone in oil and gas (Upstream, midstream, or downstream idc) is going to do any hiring for engineers this spring?  I'm graduating this Spring from Cheme and worked for a pretty well known E&P as an intern before covid cancelled my second internship.  I loved the work and don't want to give up on the industry yet.  

    I’m about ten years in and I guess one thing I will say about this industry. It pays well but it’s bumpy as hell. You better be prepared for some instability. Always keep a good amount of cash on hand as an emergency fund. I do think the death of oil and gas is extremely overblown, but at the same time the growth prospects may not be what they used to be. Also you better be prepared to deal with a lot of bureaucracy and politics at the majors. 
     

    That being said I do like my job and I’m getting paid more than I ever thought I would be, so there is that! I’m just stashing away as much as possible, hopefully I can retire early.

  7. I think there was a bit of both sorts of landings. The guy that went down hard though was definitely in a pod / shell so he must have been landing on tires. One thing about California though there’s a fair bit more terrain relief and wind / turbulence, standing updrafts over hills etc that may make it a little more complicated than Texas. 

  8. My friends got into this pretty big out in California. One of them got out after a few broken ribs on a hard landing but I think the rest are still doing it. They really enjoyed it but it can definitely get a little sketchy sometimes. 

  9. If we’re talking Caymans I think we would be remiss if we didn’t cover the new Cayman GTS 4.0. It’s got the flat six and 394 HP. I’ve been playing around with configurator trying to convince myself it’s worth it. They don’t come cheap though. Some basic options gets you to 90k with a lot of room for growth above that.  According to reviews they are supposed to be the purest sports car Porsche is making right now. 

  10. Have any of y’all Ecoboost bros gotten tunes on your V6s? I was doing some research and it seems pretty easy with a cost of $5-600 for approximately 50 hp / 50 ft•lbs. Just wondering if anyone has done that here.
