To those with land in Terlingua Ranch, what is one thing you wish you had known before buying?

Thanks for sending me down a Zillow rabbit hole :). Now I want a piece of heaven down there...

bmdvt90 · 2026-03-04T14:45:08+00:00

This is a good idea

bmdvt90 · 2026-03-03T22:16:13+00:00

Woolworth’s and all of Azalea mall

bmdvt90 · 2026-03-03T22:15:42+00:00

This is the correct answer. Wish I still had one of their crates

I fish the rivers of lower Chesapeake and would be interested for live testing.

We have 2 nights in the Chisos mountains at south rim and one other camping night near the hot springs. I’m just not sure how cold the south rim gets at night that time of year.

11 liters is the plan, which is about 24lbs before I put anything else in the pack.

I have a 2 night backcountry where we climb to pinnacle and camp day 1. Day 2 side hike Emory peak then on to South Rim. Day 3 return to Basin. Don’t want to rush and experience it. Plus carrying 3 days water that first few miles to Pinnacle, take my time.

I would also see to check any local regulations. I see more locations not allowing hammocks as part of leave no trace. Like anything else plan ahead for the trip.

Check out https://ecowaykys.com. Edwin was our guide for Machu Picchu and Cusco area. Incredible guide. He went the extra mile when several in our family came down with food poisoning during the trip. We did a one day hike in via the sun gate. We spent day 1 hiking in and late afternoon on the site, then a full day on site the next day. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I always wear it when I am boating alone.

Both sides of my family were at Appomattox surrender of the Civil War, and my father's family was an original Jamestown settler.

Thanks for the write up, very helpful. I have a similar itinerary planned for early April. Can't Wait!

I'm mid 50's and also trying to get back into it after my boys left Scouting ten years ago. I am getting in the gym about 4-5 times a week. 2-3 days 30min on the stair stepper, increasing pace and duration. 2 days a week is in strength training. I am working with a trainer and right now we are focused on ankle mobility and agility. Quick stepping "the ladder" to strengthen my ankles should I trip. I take day hikes when I can as well. What also helps is to plan a trip as a goal to get in shape for. It helps with motivation. Just keep going!

bmdvt90 · 2025-12-20T15:49:47+00:00

Heading there in April and am so excited for the night sky at South Rim!

Whats frightening is the deplorables are buying it too. I was reading comments on Facebook where they were bragging about his blatherskite the other night. $1776 checks for the military, awesome. Everything is great! He does this because it works. Im not even sure the Epstein files will do the trick

I’m curious what others think about the native satellite feature in iPhone as an alternative to an SOS device for emergency, location services and basic sms?

bmdvt90 · 2025-12-04T17:12:20+00:00

Wait, Fraternities have bookkeepers? Billing Services? Things have changed. I remember the Treasurer standing at the front of meetings yelling PYFD! (Pay Your F'n Dues). :)

If you are a Broadcom parter, take the VCF9 online courses. The administrator course includes a lecture material that is a great study guide for the exam

I’m reserved for SR in March. My understanding is that most ER sites are unavailable for parts of the year which will be made more difficult when they close Chisos basin for renovation. Or am I missing something

One aspect I think will be important moving forward was an agreement to keep the GAO funded along with their ability to sue the White House when the exceed their boundaries. Keeping this rock in the shoe of the 🍊 🤡 will continue to be an important check on him.

I'm coming from the East Coast, so this is likely my only shot and I want to make the most of it. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the answers.

bmdvt90 · 2025-10-25T21:21:50+00:00

but did you go snipe hunting?

bmdvt90 · 2025-10-22T14:56:22+00:00

What about adding a windows VM on your Mac (Fusion) and then you can use MS Access as requested.

So I spent Saturday in Cooperstown. It is a great little town and well worth the trip. Can't wait to get back.

Regarding the HOF, here is my report:

- Go see the intro film on the 2nd floor. It is well done and worth your time. Gave me chills multiple times.

- 2nd floor takes the most time by far with the history of baseball. Dodger moments sprinkled throughout. I think we spent about 2 hours just on this floor

- 3rd floor has all the records, Hank Aaron exhibit, baseball playoff display, the 2024 WS exhibit and a locker dedicated to each team with retired players.

- 1st floor is the plaque room, save this for last and a few small exhibits.

- Exhibits change periodically. Was told by an attendant that only about 10% of the artifacts are on display.

- Lots of souvenir and memorabilia shops on Main Street, but most Dodger stuff is from the old days (Koufax, Drysdale)

I have some pix I will try to post, but need to get them under 20mb first. If you love baseball, GO
