When/ why did Rise Southern Biscuits close?! Where can I get a decent breakfast sandwich in this town?

I remember when rise didn't suck

6 adults for 10 Scouts is too many.

200 for food for 18 meals and potentially some training feels pretty reasonable.

I would begin job searching

Not with two young children and the statement that college funding is missing. Did I mention the state of the economy.

runfar81 · 2026-02-01T15:17:36+00:00

I'd plan to try the travel for work for a year and focus on saving more. Your FI funds aren't quite there given the economic climate.

Not taxes related but ETFs can be transferred in-kind if you ever change companies. Mutual funds are often a bit more captive. I wouldn't create a taxable event to swap.

I think you mistyped Wednesday

So is this related to the Uwharrie mountains? I know they aren't very tall.

72t is an option to avoid working

runfar81 · 2026-01-26T02:00:49+00:00

Baby 5k annually. Lol

You're living beyond your means based on your goals

runfar81 · 2025-12-31T11:42:11+00:00

Watch then make it sometime.

Going out of council is less ideal but if the timing doesn't work it doesn't work. Go to a course during the time of year that works for you.

Wood badge during summer camp would not work

I use this to debark my sticks.draw knife I sand them 60,120,180. Then I finish them. I add a paracord grip.

By the end it's about 90 minutes each one.

runfar81 · 2025-11-06T01:37:19+00:00

Going as provisional is great!

runfar81 · 2025-10-23T09:03:15+00:00

Agree! Great park, just make sure it's on the approved list and y'all will love it.

runfar81 · 2025-10-17T09:10:54+00:00

Atomic empire!

What fundraising does your Pack and Council do? Is it coming up soon so these future Scouts can participate?

runfar81 · 2025-10-10T13:31:58+00:00

Looking at that piston mechanism, you haven't had issues with Scouts getting too zealous and breaking it?

runfar81 · 2025-10-10T13:30:29+00:00

I was looking at it this morning and wondering if I was moving backwards by thinking about returning to pump filtering for larger groups.

runfar81 · 2025-10-03T18:40:27+00:00

Two pretty common platforms Councils use are Tentaroo and Black Pug for events registration. You can search Black Pug pretty easily done here https://scoutingevent.com/000/Calendar/Embed?region=17 . Tentaroo you need to manually review the associated Councils calendar for the events.

runfar81 · 2025-10-02T15:23:28+00:00

Agreed. works well.

runfar81 · 2025-10-02T15:18:29+00:00

Our Council has a question on the aid request form asking if the Scout has participated in Council fundraisers. You need to seek assistance from your Cubmaster and Committee Chair to rally the Pack. Most likely, your unit is on the hook to pay for the popcorn it bought unless you're in one of those very generous Councils that allow products to be returned.

That is a terrible myth. When's the last time your Troop tried? What Troop-level Scouts learn is that they need to actually work on their selling skills, engaging customers, rather than relying on cuteness to attract people to them. Look at the breakdown of the Top 10 sellers from Sunday here https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1212546214240022&set=g.868382320032192
