  1. Clock at stadium indicates a just over 250 kick. 26 mins to go
  2. i just could not get into the full meme coin scene, but name your multiple x happening every week. soooo much insider influencers dumping on their followers to get their bags sold, but some are still going really strong with 100x gains. kinda like roulette. put $1000 on something called $BONK earlier last week and it doubled in 3 days. got my initial investment back and letting it ride. SUI, INJ, SOL etc... have all 2-5x following BTCs 2x. said it before on this thread. when BTC dominance fades and all that profit turns to altcoins, that's where some great 10+x money is to be made. not saying BTC is done by any means. im ~95% cash in right now. almost full send with minimal SL in place.
  3. I think people are pissed that we look like Tech lately with the semi successful screens seemingly every play vs the Sark signature deep crosses chunk plays. Having the announcers call our once vaunted QB Check down Charlie add fuel to the fire. Fuck it. Wins a win. Nobody knows how good Vandy will be. Mizz was shut out by the team that lost to Vandy. I will pray to sweet 8lb baby Jesus that we clean up penalties. That will be enough to let the talent shine
  4. got back on Sunday. what a trip! no doubt one of the best trips I have ever been on. even though no new snow while we were there, still was excellent skiing. It felt like our own private mountain with how few others were there out on the slopes. no lines, no crowds and you could do the condor lifts continuously until your lungs burst. Such a different feeling than CO resorts. First day was high winds and lifts were touch and go. but we still got tons of skiing but the main lift that goes up to Tio Bobs was shut down most of the day. after that it was smooth sailing. We stayed in one the chalets just off the main hotel and while the building was past due for a renovation by about 10 years, waking up to that view of the lake every morning made up for it. Bathrooms were tiny but we really cared about the living room which was spacious and the kids fought over who got to sleep and hang out in the 'wedge' (windowed part in the first pic). you are kinda forced into a slower pace as all meals are provided with the hotel fee. Full sit down breakfast, 3-course lunch, 3 course dinner. So a far cry from grabbing a coffee on the way to get in line before the lift opens at a stateside resort, then either scarfing a homemade sandwich or getting ripped off at a crowded on-mountain lunch spot. We got out later than we liked, but it just did not matter due to empty runs and non-existent lift lines. The only down side was the Chilean army or reserves was training some of the days and 10-20 soldiers were on the runs at any given time. we missed the wine week (started this week i think) but they still had a 'test-run' wine tasting from Vik in the hotel which was excellent if all in Spanish. The condor lifts were cool I was not prepared for how fast they drag you up the mountain. took a little getting used to on my snowboard. kids and wife had no issue with skis. But you could get dragged up the mountain, ski down and be hooked up for another run in like 2-3 minutes. repeat until fried. The boy and i took this one down a little rocky on top but not too bad after that. he set a PR for speed (at least on ski tracks ap) at 68mph. again the lack of crowds meant you could really go all out. here is a pick mid-day on a cloudless blue-bird day. it's practically empty Everyone was really friendly. We had to lean on our broken Spanish a lot more than i thought we would though. not many Americans %-wise that we ran into. We killed a few hours before our flight home walking around the Plaza de Armas in Santiago but that was about the only excursion we did. you are pretty trapped at the hotel once getting there. It is astounding that so many 'local' tourist take cars, buses etc... to just get into the parking lot and public area of the hotel to see the Inca Lake and take pics. Saturdays were a zoo getting in and out but the hotel transpo did a great job of getting us in and out. Everywhere you looked, it was just stunning. view from our deck.
  5. Made it in today! Portillo is absolutely gorgeous. Edit. I suck at inserting pics
  6. You are correct. Had some way back in the day. So cool but heavy af
  7. Since we are talking Italian, really enjoyed Mother wolf last month.
  8. They both rock because I can get tacos and frozen margs delivered from each. Torchys packs a little more heft vs Velvet per taco. Velvet passes off rice as a valid ingredient in a lot of their tacos
  9. Lol worrying about snow in whistler Enjoy pic of my wife
  10. This is glorious. Never mind that Texas beat *checks notes* Bama, who won the SEC, with our little decent team.
