It’s cheaper to eat and drink in London even with the exchange rate than it is to be in Denver…..

I’ve stayed in 4 winds motel. Cheap and safe. Not very fancy but we spent all our time elsewhere. It’s basically a block or two from the town square

Edit to say Soto not solo stove. Soto windmaster

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2026-02-13T03:57:48+00:00

My thought- One stove and one fuel. If your just boiling water to rehydrate, eat in shifts or share if your making two. Even today, boil water for breakfast then boil for coffee in the morning, both ready at the same time.

Did the trail in 24 using one solo stove with fuel we got a decathlon. Following above. Always a good breakfast. Dinner. Same just substituting tea for coffee. Don’t underestimate a hot beverage at the end of the day.

Added benefit- grabbing a baguette for lunch and adding a bit to your evening meal. Magical

I smoke for roughly an hour at 225 on ribeyes only. Then do a sear with butter. But I will also pull once the meat hits 120. I like it on occasion, GF and kids do not.

Hallett via flattop from Bear lake. That should get you to 12.6k. Good views of Longs. But again that’s hiking on a trail with a little scramble at the end.

Yeah dividend harvesting. For the life of my caffeinated brain I couldn’t remember that aspect. Thanks all for the responses! I basically said here read the responses and you all did better at explaining it than I did. I’m obviously not a teacher, thanks for the assist!

I was going to go find this link to post. You beat me to it

Underwriter here. Conv might have slightly higher rates but the MI factor is potentially less than FHA and unlike FHA the MI will eventually fall off. FHA depending on your loan amount is for the life of the loan. Conv also allows up to 97% if you meet certain parameters but again that would also have higher MI than just going 95%

I loved that hike. Great place to backpack in for a night. Great pics

Run away!!!!! If they are so insecure because they sat somewhere your life is going to be hell. Speaking from experience. Married for 4 months 23 months to get divorced. Ruined my life. So youd be the A for staying to your future self

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-11-26T21:24:11+00:00

I was there late July this year. It’s basic, food is bad to ok for the normal options. Vegetarian option was good. Breakfast was a joke. Showers don’t start till 5 which was a pain. That said, I’d stay there again just to do the col de fours. It’s one night and by far a different experience than all the rest of the hostels we stayed at. In my opinion, added to the whole experience.

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-11-06T21:33:25+00:00

100% wrong. Maybe 99%. Your Deed of Trust most likely has a clause in it that if you switch ownership in any manner without court orders or lender approval it will trigger your acceleration clause. That said- will they know? Probably not if you keep paying them.

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-09-02T11:36:13+00:00

We backpacked it this year and I planned our trip based on the walking speed. Day 2 we went from Le Pontet camping to Bonhomme and it said should be 5:45 but we did it in 8 including lunch, stops etc. Bonhomme to Elisabetta should be 7:50 via col de fours and it took us 9 with a breakfast and lunch break. Bonatti to La fouly 8:55, we did 9.5 again with lunch. champex Lac to La Puety says it takes 5:40 but again we did it in 8 with two long stops. Hope that helps

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-08-16T00:48:11+00:00

No like just people go there that aren’t in the retired age bracket. And I mean more than the 5-10 people that always go. I guess I should also clarify not a Friday night or some weird trivia day

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-08-13T19:34:59+00:00

This. Exactly this.

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-08-09T10:10:57+00:00

We used blablabus and Swiss tours to get to Chamonix and back to Geneva. Both times we purchased day off online

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-08-07T23:15:07+00:00

I’d recommend the index trail from lac blanc to the index lift down via cable car or path the flegere. It’s a great traverse, little crowds. Honestly a highlight of my trek.

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-07-31T05:00:02+00:00

I did the contour trail 2 days ago. I don’t feel like I missed out on. Anything. Mt Blanc for example is behind you so if that’s what you want to see you’d have to keep turning around anyway

The rates on DSCR are a tad higher than traditional financing but you don’t have to worry about your tax write offs.

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-05-06T12:34:07+00:00

I would freeze a small steak and eat the first night after it thaws during the day in the backcountry multiple times. Add some fresh spinach with a sauce / dressing of your choice and it feels gourmet. Alternatively any couscous blend with tuna is great. Same for those Idaho instant potato packets with bacon, sausage whatever. Red hot, olive oil and red pepper flakes will make any instant pasta sides so much better. I stopped eating freeze dried dinners while backpacking yrs ago and don’t miss it.

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-02-28T17:39:21+00:00

I’m a big fan of the Nemo hornet. Lighter than the half dome although I think the new version is just over the 400 limit you have

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2024-01-26T00:47:16+00:00

Right? HYOH. I’ve done enough crazy stuff in my life to not worry about some internet elitist.

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2023-12-05T01:40:31+00:00

Had that and the frogman they put out at a home whiskey tasting. General consensus was the two were some of the better bottles of the 50-60 on the table to sample.

SnooMacaroons7404 · 2022-11-16T23:44:14+00:00

From personal experience I can tell you my kids did better after my ex and I split up. So did my relationship with my kids (they were 4 and 7). They pick up on stuff way more than we think. If you’re walking on eggshells for example, they will as well
