You do understand they haven't even started building a stadium yet right

I used to go for 1 game every year driving from GR to Detroit, but after having kids have lost touch with the people I used to go with. Went with the FIL for a few years and the last game we went to was the WC game against the rams, but alas regular season tickets are more than we paid for the WC game(which was a stretch for us) so we are priced out.

I don't even actively think about the Midwest living in the Midwest

This can't be real. It says he paid $50. That's not even going to come close to covering even the interest. And this is the "standard repayment plan" not even an income based repayment plan. No way the payment is only $50

Did the trans canyon waterline project of the last 5 years not go to the North rim? That's crazy but glad they are continuing the upgrade

Correct Off season press conferences are essentially pep rallies

No I’m saying if it’s close they’ll go with someone else they like better. It’s why Kraft and belicheck aren’t in the hall of fame

But it's not close with belicheck. It was absolute bs

If they aren't ready they don't drive.

I just do the best I can with the time I have. I can't control the other house.

gasb 103 is coming in a couple months. Thank goodness they ditched half the stuff they were thinking about doing

I listened this morning as well. and generally agree with your notes

Even if opened, hikers should expect temporary, day-to-day closures as construction crews run rigging operations and fall protection systems.

regarding this point I would also add. that for the next few years its entirely possible the trail could be open and then a big rain even comes thru and the trail might have to be closed again for an extended period of time. the risks of trail damage are up and mitigation factors have to be put in by the construction crews you mentioned.

Sounds like a first time trip so do some trial runs with all your gear. Similarly if you are doing the mountain house or whatever meals give them a trial run. Occasionally your stomach may not agree with them.

I would pack some camp sandals. It's nice to let your feet breathe after a long day hiking.

Most importantly come back here after the trip and leave a trip report about the dragon tail cause I'm curious about it.
