Been slowly piecing together the 16” Larue upper I bought last year. Got it assembled last month. Just picked up an Eotech EXPS2 for it yesterday so that’s the next addition. Then I’ll be ready for a little range time.
Glad you got some good laps in man. I was out there in January but it’s been a few days since then. Here’s a pic from the Deepest I’ve seen it - winter of ‘16-17.
I fairly regularly fly the KLM 787s and have flown the Lufthansa Business class experience enough to know that KLM is light years ahead of the Germans.
the Lufthansa experience is very Teutonic in that there is not much luxury about it. The seats are usually shitty and small (width wise) and often in a 2-2-2.
The Dutch ladies are usually friendlier flight attendants as well.
I hear ya man @Grimas. I’ve been working expat for four years straight and trying to save as much as I can. Lot of coworkers who’ve been rotational for a long time have multiple ex wives and so many toys at home they can’t quit the beast. It’s quite a confluence of factors. Needless to say, this can be a bit beyond just the good old Raptor and Boat crew.
I'm 3rd generation O&G and have been in it for 15 years. I don't mind risk, but that doesn't mean I can't wish for stability. I have positioned myself to be "boom/bust proof" to mitigate the risk and make sure that if I transition out of the industry that it won't come with a big pay cut. But to say that those wishing there wasn't risk shouldn't be in O&G is quite the broad brush, doctor.
How does one become risk proof then? Don’t be circumspect. Data scientist?
Get on websites like thepointsguy, they always have reviews of various airlines cabin experiences. It should help you compare. I do a lot of international business class flying but it’s usually on KLM, delta, United, or Lufthansa, so I can’t help you out on this particular one.
This is the correct answer for April skiing. I’ve had such good corn snow spring skiing in May at Mammoth that I was doing laps dropping the double black lines off the top while rocking athletic shorts and sunglasses.
Osprey 40 liter carry on sized backpack. I’ve flown around the world multiple times with mine. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

My pick has been a Hardy shadow 5 wt for a high quality mid range rod. If you want to step your game up, I have a Douglas sky G that’s been quite nice as well.

some solid reviews up above - it’s tough to find fly rod reviews without an angle these days.
I went with a Galvan torque for my reel - frankly if you’re not going to get into some big fish it’s not going to matter much what your reel and drag are like, because they won’t pull on it.
that’s been my experience I’m sure there’s others who can tell me I’m wrong. But I don’t think you could go wrong with the equipment above.
Kazakhstan which produces 43% of the worlds uranium is experiencing massive protests and riots right now. The government has resigned and seems to have at least temporarily lost control of the situation.
