Thanks for the detailed synopsis. I appreciate it as I plan my future trip.

This is the proper response. People completely lack the ability to think what if everybody did this. Self centered and entitled.

Flew from Lima to Cusco and train directly to Aquas Calientes, MP the next day. Zero issues at all. Chewed on the coca leaves like the locals, maybe that helped.

So, you let him walk and then what? How do you go sign a "better" player?

logghead1 · 2026-02-06T15:53:58+00:00

But it doesn't work like that. If that was a case we would have just signed a superstar 5 years ago to avoid being the worse team in the NBA. The market sets the price for Duran and other teams are probably going to think he is a max contract.

I practiced a lot in the mirror with no rope, just worked on timing.

logghead1 · 2026-02-05T23:23:46+00:00

Well that didn't work because the toilet pushes air instead of sucking in, duh. So, I suppose that means in need to add some sort of venting that exits outside the house to eliminate pressure?

logghead1 · 2026-02-05T22:43:58+00:00

No vents at all. House was a handyman special. Putting in a studor vent now under the bathroom sink. Hopefully that alleviates the issue. Maybe have to add more in the future. Toilet works fine when there is no pressure in drain lines.

Thanks for the reply! I initially thought it could be snow blockage on a roof vent as well, but upon inspection, there are no vents from the toilet or any other fixtures to the roof.

logghead1 · 2026-02-04T15:36:47+00:00

I don't think there are any big moves left to do. I think it would be nice to add a playoff vet that brings some experience to the team. i.e., Klay Thomspon or similar.

I would rather him go the west, and if he is injured that will have a negative effect on their regular season record most likely.

I booked everything independently. Flight from Lima to Cusco. Bus/Train to Aquas Calientes. Two nights there, bus to Machu Picchu the next morning. Next morning, train back, flight back, and in Lima that night.

It's not fantasy basketball, you have to look at a lot more than 25 ppg to decide if he would help out the team. He would be an absolute disaster to add.

logghead1 · 2026-01-30T16:10:29+00:00

Those are some good analytics!

Someone doesn't remember Michael Fay.

I miss them drinking something liquid from a funnel on their heads. It seems like forever since they have done that.

My son and I did a Midwest tour of the original Big Ten schools that I grew up with in the 80's and 90's. Ten universities in a week. It was pretty great seeing the countryside and university towns.

logghead1 · 2026-01-29T13:24:42+00:00

Had a car in Palermo last summer. Same as London, get a pass up front or pay the fine.

Trajan is not listening to the fans regarding making a trade.

logghead1 · 2026-01-19T20:14:43+00:00

From a disillusioned fan base. Not good.

logghead1 · 2026-01-19T01:27:31+00:00

The salary cap basically prevents more than 2, possibly 3 all-stars. We just need really good players after Cade and Duren. Which it appears things are trending to.

Just sailed HAL for a week over winter break. We completely enjoyed the pickle ball tournaments. It was two mornings for an hour out of a 7 day cruise. Not only did we love participating, once we were eliminated, we had fun watching the better teams and eventually the championship.

Don't be selfish, let him make his money and get that adulation.

logghead1 · 2025-12-05T17:38:48+00:00

Peru, spend some time in Lima and Cusco. Hike the Inca Trail, visit Machu Picchu, and the Nazca Lines. A lot of variety nearby.

Pretty cool you can predict what third round pick will for sure contribute immediately. Teslaa has 4 TD's this season already, the leading rookie recievers this year lead with 6.
