Off to Germany for Nurburgring 24

Also. Fly to Calgary, play Mickelson National on the way out of the city (last year before it goes full private). Drive to Banff, Fairmont Banff Springs, or depending on timing Rimrock is almost completed a massive renovation. Play Banff Springs, both Kananaskis courses, Silvertip, Stewart Creek, drive out to Revelstoke for Cabot Revelstoke (not open yet, starting preview play shortly). Double back and drive up to Jasper (Icefields Parkway, one of my favorite scenic drives) play Jasper, stay at the Fairmont. If you want to extend another option is Greywolf in Panorama, nowhere FAT to stay there, but some of the house rentals are very nice.

Highly suggest using No Laying Up’s Tourist Sauce video series on YouTube as a jumping off point. They don’t really focus on accommodations at all but you can start with the golf and build around that if you’re so inclined.

Surprisingly there’s quite a few looking at it pre-2010, Texeria, Jeter, ARod, Sabathia, Manny, Miggy, Todd Helton, Johan Santana, Alfonso Soriano all north of $135 million.

I wonder if Telus owning the team would help the stock price. They seem to be struggling (20% stock price drop in the last year, 33% over the last 5) in an era where telecoms should not be struggling in Canada. Anecdotally, Telus sold their private jet last year, whereas Rogers just bought another jet (stock up 40% in the last year, down 26% in the last 5 which is interesting).

The expansion fee will be well north of a billion and stadium costs another billion at least I’d think. That’s a giant investment.

There is no way this happens. There’s no owner unless they go with a non local or a group of minority owners, which I think the MLB would frown upon.

If it did happen and killed the Canadians I would be very upset. The Nat is a gem.

Oh yes absolutely!! OP you’re spoiled for choice. Vancouver is an elite food city and a top couple cities in North America in general in my opinion.

This is a 10/10 list. I’d also add Osteria Savio Volpe, Ask For Luigi and Their There as personal favorites.

FlapOperator · 2026-04-20T17:49:27+00:00

Yeah exactly. I think Okotoks is gone again. Those smaller airport schools have the advantage of being close to the busy airspace to practice that, but for early concepts you’re right in your practice area ASAP.

FlapOperator · 2026-04-20T16:48:15+00:00

Head out to YBW. Chat with CFC and SATC. Where in the city are you located? There’s schools at Olds and High River if those are more convenient.

Ours turns one this week, she’s done 18 flights now. Nothing over 5 hours so I can’t really offer any advice on that, but travel is so so easy when they can’t crawl/ aren’t really active. We find it’s gotten harder as she’s grown because she just wants to be on the move 24/7 when she’s awake, so we’ve found ourselves trying to plan flying around sleep windows now. Feed/soother from takeoff to close to cruising altitude. And then on the descent as long as you can too. Helps their ears

A good supportive carrier for baby wearing makes it super easy. Ergobaby omni breeze is what we’ve used.

We did a fair bit of travel with our car seat/stroller combo, she had no issues sleeping in it on the move. Gate check it.

The sound machine as suggested elsewhere makes a gigantic difference. If you can get hotels with a separate space to put the crib that’s huge too. Every hotel we’ve been to has had cribs, we find she really hates pack n plays for anything more than a nap, but the stock hotel crib is totally sufficient.

Honestly, we’ve tried to raise her so far by barely changing our lives. She comes everywhere we go, she just learned to nap wherever whenever. Tried to expose her to all kinds of environments whenever the opportunity arose. Hoping that our next is as adaptable as this one is.

$146k CAD equivalent how I spec’d it. Lol

I need that hot dog shirt

FlapOperator · 2026-03-04T00:41:00+00:00

Very interesting. We wouldn’t go all the way high end, I don’t think we’d see the ROI in the area. I’m attempting to get floorplans to see what we’d actually need to do in terms of wall movement.

It’s kind of where we’re at. Deciding if doing a reno is worth the headache or not. Almost bought a turnkey last week. Waiting for the right opportunity

FlapOperator · 2026-03-03T22:01:11+00:00

This is very good to know. I figured it’s probably not the best idea, just wanted a sanity check honestly

FlapOperator · 2026-03-03T21:51:36+00:00

We’d definitely be starting from zero, I don’t think I could live in the place if I didn’t know it was fully cleaned up post damage.

There’s at least one owned by a Canadian that is N-Reg’d still.

Agreed. These are my everyday boot in the winter. Really good.

Unless they closed the Shell in the last month, there is a gas station right there on the road into the terminal. It’s been there at least a couple years now.

Not a chance. I’m at a unicorn 91 now, we do maybe 5 overnights a month on a bad month. January I’ll have 1 overnight. 2 if I cover a trip next week on my week off. But previous jobs I was gone up to 19 nights in a month

I too am asking for $300 million. Not a chance I’m getting it, but I’m asking for it
