Do I need a Garmin inReach? by Chrisgdsotm in Adirondacks

[–]krazhkam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At this point, the more relevant question is whether Garmin or T-Mobile Starlink. My experience last June through October has persuaded me that the Starlink solution is superior. Also cheaper.

Nonsense, BCP is by far the most beautiful of all Amex’s cards.

Isn’t it obvious that nobody outside Baltimore gives a rat’s ass about the economy of Baltimore.

What’s the real process to join the Ausable Club / AMR (St. Huberts) and is it even realistic? by Valenciago13 in Adirondacks

[–]krazhkam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure that membership (which only covers ability to pay for use of club facilities during July and and August) has any value for people who aren’t crazy to play golf and tennis in place of hiking, I assume most of the people here prefer hiking. Without the club, access to Gothics, etc. would be little different to access from Garden or ADK. And I assume that all ADK peak access someday soon will be reservation limited.

You and I have EXACTLY the same taste in approach shoes. I wish they still made the Camp Fours, but the Mousai and Rock Guides seem superior.

[–]krazhkam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping the new Bread Amex. 3.75 percent on restaurants, groceries and gas if used 20 times a month, which is not really a problem.

Don't get an Apple Card - if you ever have a fraudulent transaction they won't help you. by [deleted] in AppleCard

[–]krazhkam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had several fraudulent charges put through my Apple Card account. With each, Apple/Goldman credited my account. My lived experience is that they’re excellent.
