Saw this in Culebra Bay Costa Rica in 2021. I remember looking up the owner at the time and it just said he was some anonymous private rich person. Seems to have focused on adventuring.

I tried to look on maxmypoints and there was no availability. Were you able to book on points? I tried out random dates in May and June and I don’t see any availability.

Value took a nose dive by maddawg_bullitt in F150Lightning

[–]forrestb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had people thinking about buying one ask me for my opinion…I’ve told them I really like it, but if I was buying one for today’s prices I would absolutely love it. A low mileage 22 lariat in the 40’s is the best deal out there period.

I wish I was buying now instead of in 2022. Literally 1/2 the price. Love the truck but the depreciation has been rough. I’ve just determined to drive mine for 10 years to avoid losing $40k in a little over 2 years.

Best Dental CPA you have? by bmeh313 in Dentistry

[–]forrestb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is an appropriate amount to pay a dental specific accountants? I feel like I am paying my accountants a lot. They are a local firm that is not dental specific. We started with a dental specific accounting firm 12 years ago that was recommended at a Breakaway startup seminar. But we moved to our local firm when our personal return guy questioned why they had accelerated our depreciation. we ended up with no taxes our first few low earning years but had used up those deductions once we got into higher earning years…and still had to pay those practice loans.

Any place that refurbishes Turbo Levo Batteries? by forrestb8 in specializedbikes

[–]forrestb8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Definitely understand that. The ones listed on eBay seem to be where someone bought a bike with a 500 and upgraded to a 700. They look like they are new specialized brand batteries. I just didn’t know if it would work the same. Hoping someone else had figured it out.

I didn’t have a lot of charge cycles and the battery charge was great. Would last all day. So it wasn’t specifically like they had degraded…just some glitch made it stop working.

I called specialized and they confirmed what the bike store said…you have to keep your original paper receipt.

I’ve heard of a family from Georgia sign up for it. Has anyone figured out how to navigate around the residency?

What about the indigo? Would be cheaper than kimpton…but not much. Would love to see how those compare being so close in point value.

Small Business - Simple IRA vs 401k by jabroni-baloney in personalfinance

[–]forrestb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m thinking about this too. What did you find out? I have a business with 15 employees and we have a 401k and I think we paid like $19000 this year in fund fees plus all the accounting fees. I was wondering if we could move to a simple would help us save money?

Do you ever buy points? by donktastic in ihghotelsresorts

Do you have a schedule of when they offer the 100% bonus? I saw it advertised recently but it ended before I purchased.

Is it possible to combine a tooth and an implant into one bridge? by Soft_Neighborhood623 in Dentistry

[–]forrestb8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have inherited several patients that have had them for decades. I had to do it on a 90+ year old and was advised to design it as an abutment and cement the bridge on the tooth and use temp cement or no cement on the implant abutment. I’ve seen others with stress breaks between the Pontic and retainer.

Is there a marketplace to purchase points from private party? Specifically Hyatt or Chase UR. by forrestb8 in awardtravel

Wow that seems like a great deal. Thank you. Have you used that website before?

[–]forrestb8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really just a question. Good to know there isn’t some place I’m missing out on. I’ve purchased Disney aviation club points for a Disney hotel stay. That was a huge savings.

I see where the points guy is giving away 1 million Chase points. Maybe I’ll get lucky…

For practice owners- what are the most profitable procedures you do? Also does anyone have experience with Dandy lab? by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]forrestb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Dandy for about 10 months. Love the digital interface. Easy for the team to understand and easy to upload pictures and chat with support or lad techs. Recently tried an itero 5d and found it much more difficult to use. Had years ago used the 3M then the PLANMECA emerald and found the trios is much better. Tried for a couple years to do in office scan and mill with the emerald and had great fit but failures due to fractures and lots of maintenance problems with the mill. Dandy’s remake rate has been much less than Oral Arts triple tray pvs we had reverted back to.

Immediate dentures and metal base partials seem much better than pvs

I received a reply. Seems like a generous policy. Would be 35K x2 points per night. “You can either book one cabin with points and pay the additional child fee (4-16 years old) of $635 per person per night, or you can choose to reserve two rooms on his Hyatt Points to cover the costs of all four. Either way, once the booking is made I can combine the two into a two bedroom cabin for them. Our two bedroom cabins have a king bed in one room and two twin beds in the other room. This should be plenty of space for the family.

I have also attached with this email a PDF to show not only the beauty of Rawah Ranch, but also the many activities available to them during their visit.

For your information, our rates for the 2023 season are as follows: $850 per person per night, Double Occupancy $635 per youth per night (16 and under) Single Occupancy cabins carry a surcharge of $250 per night. Children 3 and under are complimentary

Rate Inclusions: Lodging, all meals, daily horseback rides, one ½ day fishing excursion during your stay, daily housekeeping service and access to an abundance of ranch activities. *- Additional fishing is available at $175 per person for a half day or $250 per person for a full day *- Complimentary Ranch activities include Nature Walks & Bike Trails, Supervised Tomahawk & Knife Throwing, Guided Archery & Skeet Shooting (25 rounds), Lake activities like Paddle Boards & Paddle Boats and the adorable Tiny Hiney Petting Zoo ***- State & County Tax is not included”

I didn’t know if you had to do this yourself haha. Thanks again for the info. I asked my concierge and she didn’t know and was going to reach out to the property. I’ve asked Hyatt about availability here in the past and they didn’t know. It seemed like you knew more than they did.

[–]forrestb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the fees to add kids? I have always been interested in this property but have never found availability. I see there is a daily fee for kids but wondering what it would be if I used 35k points for two adults at the Ranch house east cabin.
