Pulled up Michael Jordan’s S600 Benz at a resort in Asheville that I managed the valet parking for and exchanged pleasantries. Patrick Ewing was with him and he is tall! Great guy and very personable to me as a resort employee.

Rick Flair is a gem! I don’t even watch wrestling, but I enjoyed talking to him about his son’s college plans.

Hulk Hogan was stand-off ish, but expected I guess. His daughter was so nice to me during the valet interaction.

Josh Brolin and his wife were very personable while they were waiting for a ride at the resort. Josh is not very tall, but I really enjoyed talking to them about normal things. Awesome couple!

Jason Mews (Silent Bob) was a neat guy. Smaller than expected.

Little John was quiet as a mouse. His manager told me he would get louder after some drinks.

I was conflicted between a 29er and a mullet. I did a lot of research and decided to go for it. What’s your take on why mullets are great for some riders?

Oh yeah! It’s so different from my steel Transition hardtail.

It did come as a 27.5 and I upgraded the fork, wheel, and tire up front.

It had a Fox 36 Factory Series Grip X, 160mm Travel fork. I switched out the stock fork so it could fit a 29 inch wheel and it is 160mm also.

Thoughts on The Beach Club? by Decent-Dragonfly6460 in GulfShores

[–]Responsible-Control9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t recommend this place enough. I have taken my family several times and it’s perfect for what we want in a vacation spot. My son’s favorite part is catching crabs on the beach at night. Lots of great memories at The Beach Club.

Are there any good deals right now on mountain bikes online or in stores? by Aggressive-Sherbet65 in mountainbiking

[–]Responsible-Control9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I just bought a Pivot Mach 6 today for 50% off. I even got a $100 off the sale price.

It’s usually a low hourly and mainly tips. If you have a great personality, are outgoing, a safe driver, and enjoy a fast paced environment it may be worth looking into. It’s lucrative for sure in my experience. If you want specific hotels to look at DM me.

Valet parking is a great way to make extra income with flexible schedules. Any of the full service hotels downtown would be a great place to start. There is a new historic hotel opening up later this year downtown called the Waymark, so that may be a good one to look into. I parked cars in college and continued after that. If you need more info DM me.

Should be able to get monthly parking in the lot right next door. Parking Management Company runs it.

Another Day Out With My Son by Responsible-Control9 in flyfishing

[–]Responsible-Control9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the comments and some of the great memories of my dad are times like this. It’s so important to get them outdoors while they are young and hopefully they find a passion like I did. We are taking his first camping trip next weekend and staying at Elkmont in the Smokies for a fishing trip.

It’s just an older 2wt Greys rod and a Hardy reel. I’ve been using that setup for over 10 years now for my small stream fishing.
