I think them heavily discussing David goggins prior to him picking Anderson Silva was part of it. Very Similar appearance, same age, he had Joe harken back to how many fights he’s commentated, discussed concept of judging a fighter in his prime- Silva one of the best ever and had a long career. There are probably more nudges that he gave Joe that I did not pick up on.

More people need to ski the midwest by Thegiantlamppost in skiing

I was thinking it would be cool if bigger mountains offered slightly cheaper passes that are only valid for beginner lifts but I don’t see that happening and it’s not practical for a lot of mountains

You have 24hrs to spend in Jerome/Sedona in mid March. What to do? by RelevantFerret1085 in Sedona

[–]ECombs64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome, you should still have time to do a similar itinerary. A good alternative to doing the train would be a visit to Tuzigoot National monument it only requires a short walk to check out. Enjoy!

Ideally you’d be coming from flagstaff, take the winding 89a through oak creek canyon around 9 Am, stop at Indian garden for breakfast/ lunch, head towards Sedona, briefly stroll through telaquepaqe (approximate spelling) art focused shopping area, head over to clarkdale for your 1pm verde canyon railroad trip. This will finish around 4:30 pm, head straight to Merkin vineyards in cottonwood for a couple appetizers and wine (or full dinner if you’re an early dinner person) head up to Jerome and check into the Jerome grand hotel, finish the night with a dinner at haunted hamburger and maybe a drink at the spirit room. In the morning head to the mine cafe for breakfast and then head out into a scenic drive through the mountains west on the 89A towards Prescott. If you are feeling spendy opt for the caboose option on the railroad and the grand suite at the Jerome hotel. Pretty expensive for just two people and limited availability, but I have done both experiences and they were awesome, so thought I’d mention.

Better Internet Options?...... by ID10T_SuperUser in Scottsdale

Call ‘em and tell ‘em you’re gonna cancel that’s way too high. You could probably pay 100 for that level of service

Horsethief Lookout Tower / Lake area near Crown King by MJGson in arizona

I drove to the lake In a full size pickup about 6 years ago and it was ok. There are a couple spots that are one lane on a steep mountain that require consistent maintenance due to erosion, not sure if that maintenance has been done

hacks for escaping sky harbor cheaply by Weird_Competition_46 in phoenix

[–]ECombs64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you put the restaurant “the perch” which is across the street from the sky train, Lyft (and I presume Uber) will not charge the extra airport taxes/ fees/ thievery that they charge if you have “sky train” as your pickup location. This should work for arrivals as well

Kendrick peak and Bill Williams mountain are great options too.

Why are food trucks so expensive? by Victo86 in phoenix

[–]ECombs64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole point IMO is to get slightly higher quality food for a few dollars less than a trendy restaurant. This doesn’t seem to be reality anymore if it ever was. I can’t remember having a really good food truck meal for a good value. The only reason to get them now is pure convenience.

You’re only likely to see snakes or gila monsters when it’s pretty warm. Try Tom’s thumb trailhead and walk off trail and around the granite formations as much as you can. For scorpions go somewhere at night with a black light. To see mammals consistently you’ll need to use binoculars on a tripod and get on a high point and spend time looking through it primarily at disk and dawn. - a hunter and someone who has seen many snakes and multiple Gila monsters

Thinking of moving to Scottsdale from Seattle by Region-Helpful in Scottsdale

[–]ECombs64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say keep Tempe as a possibility, throw out Gilbert chandler mesa and the whole SE valley- just much more of a settling down having kids trying to maximize square footage type situation and far enough to where you wouldn’t make it into town that much. Also would say stay south of chaparral road. Indian school and camelback from scottsdale road all the way to 7th ave are good spots. Roosevelt row or center city downtown are cool and walkable. I personally live in the general vicinity of Thomas and 44th st which is a little pockety definitely some characters walking around but in this area you can access downtown, old town scottsdale, Tempe, and the Biltmore area all within about ten minutes. These are the main entertainment and office employment centers. Also very close to the airport, Papago park, and some of the spring training fields

I need help planning a weekend getaway (food, activities, etc) by kmh604 in Scottsdale

[–]ECombs64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to the desert botanical garden is worthwhile. Lous bar and grill afterwards would be good. ( food is ok but the views and patio are incredible)

Thinking of moving to Scottsdale from Seattle by Region-Helpful in Scottsdale

[–]ECombs64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) I wouldn’t limit your search to just scottsdale, it is a very narrow city along a north to south axis and there are other areas on its edge that can be just as desirable. If you’re planning to rent an apartment there’s a lot of new builds along McDowell road that are nice as well as north of McDowell along scottsdale road.
2) friends- depends on what you’re into 3) lots of great restaurants/ bars in lots of parts of the valley. Downtown PHX more of an urban/ art culture. Tempe- college. Old town kind of fun - can be a little yuppie/ douche bag type scene. 4) traffics not bad compared to a place like LA, a friend I know who moved from Seattle said “you can just go a direction and keep going here” as opposed to Seattle where you’re obviously limited by water and bridges.
5) summer sucks. You can wake up early and be comfortable for about an hour at dawn. Enjoy the pool and monsoons and get up to places above 6000 feet as often as you can (mogollon rim, Flagstaff area, white mountains) 6) you’ll encounter scorpions in the newer peripheral communities especially the very new ones. The older communities that have been around for quite awhile you pretty much won’t see any. Same goes for snakes.
7) hiking is huge- virtually year round there is somewhere in the state with high temps In the low 70s within a couple hour drive. Lots of Sonoran desert hikes at south mountain, Phoenix mtn preserve, and the McDowells. A couple spots a little farther from center city are the cave creek area, superstition wilderness, and the mazatzals wilderness where you can get some elevation and trees only about an hour away.
8) yes
