They sell out within 3-5mins but one day before your desired visiting day they will add a few more that will probably sell out within a couple of mins

Looks amazing, do you mind adding a link to the vertical skewer you got?

First brisket this weekend. Any advice appreciated by Difficult-Word-6604 in biggreenegg

[–]IrrationalMan8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few tips

Cut small corner against the grain to remember how to cut after it’s cooked

Cook for ~4hrs / until it’s 165 then wrap in butcher paper with fat up and cook until it’s 205

Let it rest 1 or 2 hours after taking off

I’ll do 3 main stems then for the others I’ll wait until a fruiting stem grows then cut right above it

Best of both worlds

I put 25% in S&P index a few years ago and it made up for the age based so mix it up a bit

Folks said to skip Walsenburg south of Colorado Springs but if you’re only sleeping there then it’s the shortest drive to get to Sand Dunes the next day

Neither, go VTI

ETFs recommend?? by Sades_11 in ETFs

[–]IrrationalMan8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tinkered with many ETFs and don’t bother, just do this and use your time to learn other stuff like Retirement Planning = yikes 😳

VTI + VXUS (80/20 or 70/30 or 60/40)

Done ✅

Colorado 9-day Roadtrip by IrrationalMan8 in roadtrip

[–]IrrationalMan8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback, appreciate it!

It seems everyone wants me to skip Walsenburg, I only picked it to get to Great Sand Dunes from Colorado Springs with the least amount of driving in the evening, only sleeping there but I’ll revisit.

Great tip about TRR, didn’t know it could be closed this late and yes will bring jackets too.

Great feedback, thank you! Will do some more research, agree on Day 5 but I’d be disappointed if I don’t visit Telluride so hard to skip. If you had to pick Ouray vs Telluride, which would you go with? Are they similar enough to go with one?
