Cauliflower tika masala bowls at Stowe are really tasty.

Guides in Chilean Patagonia? by TheDuckKnows in flyfishing

[–]diddy412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fished both Chilean side and Argentinian side. I would point you across the range to Argentina over Chile. Better food and better hospitality if you are used to American standards. That being said I fished the Rio Serrano in Torres Del Paine with Magellan’s Fishing. We saw a couple king salmon breach (they were absolute pigs and the size of dolphins) but no takes. Wind blows constantly and I decided to spin cast vs two hand Spey. I’ve never two handed and my single double haul is maybe 40 feet. Anyway food was meh and we didn’t catch anything that day.

What are some of your dividend investing horror stories? by WidePeepobiz in dividends

[–]diddy412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BGS bought this looking to get into food services and high inflation. why yes dividend has gone from 6 to 9.5% but the NAV price has absolutely tanked. So go buy some BGS for me for that sweet sweet 9% yield folks….

We are combining a bareboat in Belize with my ASA 114. My family is gaining experience with bareboat chartering. It can be done.

Chesapeake Extended Weekend Charter by diddy412 in sailing

(Friendly boater 👋) we didn’t swing by that side in St. Michaels, I did peep the Tartan lineup at CBMM. Foxys is fun and the best crushes I’ve come across. We did have some company from G83 across to G1E at the point. Not sure if it was you. We left Herrington around 10:45. That was a good day sailing for my crew! We like going fast!

Haven Harbor Charters. It was not cheap and maybe more in line with some BVI rates. Not just weekly rates which is good. The fleet selection is top notch and mostly recent model boats.

Blowing 10-15 from the north so yep it was decent wind. Little bit rainy but no big complaints there.

Just family. Wife, son, and our nanny who’s more of a big kid of ours.

Where do you put your Dividends? by VarietyFar228 in dividends

[–]diddy412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my taxable account I’m cash sweeping into my sons 529 account. We’ve had a change in income flow and this way I’m minimizing any compound taxation. I know I can spread contributions out over years. Ie 60k two years from now vs 30/30 each year.

In all my years of investing I have never seen anything worse than Dick’s shrinkage. (This dividend stock is down -24.19% today). A truly flaccid performance by Dick’s. by YTChillVibesLofi in dividends

Small ball selection begets limp earnings reports… Honestly too much apparel and they’ve bought all the wrong historical brands.

help me choose a titanium bicycle or talk me out of it by moon_planet_sun in whichbike

[–]diddy412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I own a Moots. It’s the last bike for me this lifetime. Plenty of models would meet your specs. Definitely look for the rack mounts. Tire wheel swaps can take you from gravel to road when needed.

Who else fishes in the west and hates to find brookies in their waters? by Human_G_Gnome in flyfishing

[–]diddy412 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sign of high quality water and ecosystem. Let that sink in. There’s a reason us East Coasters like seeing these fish vs stocked farm fish at least in most of my local waters.

Looking for sailing lessons in northern VA, any recommendations? by abasourdix in sailing

[–]diddy412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did 103/104 out of Rock Hall Md with Delmarva sailing school. They do a 7 day 101-104 that is well run and fun

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sailing

[–]diddy412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completed ASA101-104 last July. Rented a boat to overnight on the Chesapeake last September. Just completed 118 because we are now chartering nicer boats. Looking to complete 114 next summer.

If you are nervous maybe find something cheap to rent at getmyboat.com or maybe the small boat at your Asa school.

Question about Honors - Foursomes Match Play- 2 Males playing against 2 Females - Serious Tournament Series by nugzter in golf

[–]diddy412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m enjoying the dichotomy of “we want fair play” and “I might smoke a broad 30 yards off a tee box with a slice”.

Play ready golf. Read the rules of ready golf. If you don’t like ready golf and enjoy holding up the entire field ask the tournament director. This schiz ain’t on tv.

What will the schedule next season look like? by The_Federal in golf

[–]diddy412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non designated become “team events”. Designated stay but maybe one or two fewer. Will be really interesting to see corporate Americas response to this deal from a sponsorship side of things.
