I hope you'll be a recurring featured guest or even co host! Talk band shit, sports, music, cooking, traveling, sports, business, legal, beer, shitting tips and tricks, parenting, pets, and maybe some politics if we need to increase our subscribers.
Prices would be $100k over list if they knew. Try to keep a low profile with shades and PU hat while mowing the grass. Neighbors know me as Pierre from New Orleans.
Yep... standing in long lines and feeling like I'm a sardine because there are so many people is NOT my idea of fun. I'm more of a nature person and like to be outside but each to their/his/her own.
Vail, Breckenridge, Estes Park.... on and on. But I would want a car. My wife is from CO so we used to be out there every day and have driven all over the state. There are so many beautiful places to see. Another good place to go is the Canadian Rockies.... Banff area. Of course you'll need a car theree.
People who have never been west don't realize what that are missing. We've been to about all the national parks or at least the major ones. We loved Alaska and would always recommend it as a destination. We've been 4 times and would like to go back again.
We went to Telluride when it was just a hole in the wall. We were driving up the road to Telluride and went around a bend and the road was filled with sheep because they were moving them to a different grazing area so we just had to sit there as the sheep went by us on both sides of the car.
There is a beautiful waterfall there (Bridal Veil ??). It may have been commercialized by now because we were there back in the 80s.
As as aside, we need more of these campy horror flicks. Sharknado tried but it wasn't trying to be serious.For those interested, Hollywood made a movie sequel to McM's summer childhood vacation:
Also, they went on to make Alligator II
Alligator II: The Mutation (1991) - IMDb
Alligator II: The Mutation: Directed by Jon Hess. With Joseph Bologna, Dee Wallace, Richard Lynch, Woody Brown. A giant alligator makes a city lake his new feeding ground and must be stopped before he breaks out into the surroundings.

My fav part of these two is they are completely unrelated to Gator (starring the duo of Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed who would go on to star in one of the movies of my young life, Smokey and the Bandit, one year later).
Gator (1976) - IMDb
Gator: Directed by Burt Reynolds. With Burt Reynolds, Jack Weston, Lauren Hutton, Jerry Reed. Agents force a former con man to help them nab a corrupt politician.

Speaking of campy Hollywood my stoker told me last night that Zac effron is in a new movie and that he put an end to dad bods. Dad bods are out now. This is hot dad summer. I told her it's pretty late notice. It's off to a rough startAs as aside, we need more of these campy horror flicks. Sharknado tried but it wasn't trying to be serious.

My favorite part of losing weight at my age is yes, there is less of me, but I don't really look better.
Then again, I never looked like Zac Efron. Maybe as a baby.....

I've stopped buying masks and hand sanitizer.
There was a short window. AS with most things, I missed it.
Most people on this board do quite well financially so I would not say it is very good gauge of reality in the real world as most can handle high inflation. Only 30 percent of households actually make over 100k and most on this board fall into that category. Most regular middle and lower middle class people are struggling. Retailers are really starting to see it as well. The pain is real.
Results: Target earnings tumbled to $2.19 a share. Revenue rose 4% to $25.17 billion. Same-store sales climbed 3.3%, in-store comps up 3.4% and digital store comps up 3.2%.
Target blamed the profit shortfall on higher freight costs as well as bigger markdowns and weaker-than-expected sales of bigger-ticket discretionary items such as TVs. The markdowns and shift from discretionary items could be a consumer reaction to rising inflation, which is outpacing wages significantly.
Target stock plunged 25% to below 162 in the stock market today, hitting an 18-month low. That's after retreating 1.4% on Tuesday in sympathy with Walmart earnings. Shares had been in a cup-with-handle base with a 254.97 buy point.

This is dependent on where you live but what income level would you consider middle class?

We are doing pretty much the same. We intentionally do things in one trip when we can. We are going on vacation next month for two weeks instead of one because I get four weeks vacation a year and usually take a week at a time. This is to save money going from Pennsylvania to Indiana two times a year doing two week vacations instead of spreading it out over four.
You’re right, Florida in May & October is great. For years I did two weeks in Naples every May and October.

Makes sense because we like to eat meat, and then there is lessening the population of farting and air breathing individuals which is good for the planet.
