Congrats man. Piece of cake. Two girls, 28 and 21. Be a good dude and she will be a good girl. Shoot straight, be open and honest, respect her mom, and she will grow up with all the confidence she needs to handle herself. That's not to say, however, that you won't worry about her forever! It's part ...

Lots of good comments here. I guarantee you that Idaho will be the last place in the USA to legalize. Currently have to drive an hour to the Oregon border to a shop with a parking lot full of Idaho plates. It's hysterical. Of course, I haven't been since the before times, but my stash lasts me a lon...

This is a text from my best friend. He coached at BSU a long time ago under Pokey Allen and coached Harsin when he was a walk on at BSU. Longtime high school football coach in the Boise area at several different schools and well-connected to the local HS football scene. I texted him when I saw these...

Chicken Adobo in the instant pot. I've done that a couple times. Very easy and always good Never disappoints. Plus, like 5-6 servings with rice for less than $10. What are your ingredients for the adobo? I do green chile pork all the time, which at its most basic is nothing more than a hunk of pork...

Had sous vide beer brats, german potato salad, homemade pretzels and cheese dip, and a homemade apple bundt cake tonight while sampling about 20 different beers. https://i.ibb.co/KrvrryT/PXL-20201017-221146312.jpg Well done SD. Those look great. Have you made them before? And here I am, back on my ...

Imma need you to get on the pics. But that is great to hear. Food really does open all kinds of doors. Too bad it makes me fat and will kill me early. *shrug* Definitely gained some weight back with her here.

Since getting laid off I have become the head chef and meal planner at home. Five months in and I’m starting to transition from “oh shit this is stressful as fuck” to “oh shit they’re going to love this” and it truly is a beautiful thing. Their really isn't a feeling quite like serving up something...

Whitey Ford, possibly the greatest pitcher in Yankees history, died today at 91. Got to watch him pitch once in an Old Timers game at Yankee Stadium back in the early 90s. He threw high and tight to Reggie Jackson and the whole stadium gave him a standing ovation. It was fucking hysterical. Rest In...

Thanks for posting those photos. Had some good times around there in the Sawtooths. Is that high peak in your pics Castle Peak? You bet! No, that is just an unnamed peak at 10,600 feet to the southwest of Castle Peak - not far away though. I'm looking southwesterly there so Castle Peak is to my lef...

Already snow geez. Meanwhile still 100 in Tucson. Looks beautiful Yup, seasons change fast up there. Stanley is 6,200 feet. This was my set up at the trailhead Friday night at 8,700 feet. It poured rain for hours and then by Saturday morning it turned to a wet snow. The tarp is for Jeep/car camping...

Another weekend backpacking in the White Clouds Wilderness near Stanley, Idaho. Weather was really unstable and obscured much of the sweeping views of this range, but it was still atmospheric and cool. Topped out and 10,107 feet at this high point on this ridge. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/serv...

My youngest brother in OV wants to downsize, and still live in the NW, something smaller, in the 230K to 270K range. Every house he has been interested in sold with in 1-4 days. This house was listed at $255K, sold at $270K. CASH! https://www.flexmls.com/cgi-bin/mainmenu.cgi?cmd=url+other/run_publi...

Good luck and good for you guys weathering the long term in the house. I didn't realize you guys were 34. I've moved plenty and I'll probably do it again, but no great stories there.

Been doing a lot of hiking and backpacking in Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness this summer. Countless stunning peaks and high mountain lakes all throughout the Sawtooth range. Lots of quality time with my daughters too. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/005084665725/media/167...

I still think everything in the home sale and rental market is going to crash when the no eviction order and extra unemployment expire and with no additional stimulus checks. This is why I'm being patient and looking without anxiety. I'm in no rush and content where I am. I'm not going to pay top d...

Last I checked in with my local credit union (a couple weeks ago) it was 2.875% so I increased my budget to open up my market, but it still hasn't netted more or any decent listings.

Wife and I are debt free minus her federally subsidized student loans. Just were pre-qualified easily for our max budget on a house. Feels pretty good. Of course we don't want to spend that much. And the economy is tanking. And the last time I bought a house was 2005 and that turned out to be a hor...

Good stuff fellas. I'm definitely prone to high anxiety so I can get a little wound up with fear and loathing. My 20yo daughter is in lockdown residence with me so it's been nice to have her around otherwise I'd be totally alone. I'm fortunate to be able to work from home right now and have been gen...

Thanks for the info and stuff guys. I'm excited for a new chapter here. I love Tucson but have never truly embraced the outdoor world.

Short of a complete uni overhaul, we need to get rid of all red pants and jerseys until someone can get the shade/hue right. They're an atrocious looking neon. I hate 'em. Reds are the worst version of our shitty uniforms. I do like the new red helmet posted above - it's the right color. And I like...

8pm kickoffs should be banned. Agreed. Also sure hope fs1 is back on sling soon. Likewise hoping FS1 is back on Dish by then too. So fucking annoying to have to work around that if not.

Can't decide if the bye is good or bad. Rest, recovery and and more practice reps are good for whoever needs it, but it's also early in the season, we aren't that beat up that I'm aware of and I can't help thinking it would've been good to keep the momentum and rhythm going after the solid play last...

It's about having a 60 inch 4k TV at home with your own bathroom and food and not spending money on parking and investing 8 hours into a game and being able to watch multiple games on well produced tv broadcasts.

I went to Caruso’s last night just to laugh at it and relive my college days. I wasn’t prepared for how popular it still is. Waited 45 minutes for a table. Boy was I wrong about Caruso’s.

Boxcar on 4th Ave. is serving food now. I had a carne asada burro, which was mediocre (= amazing by non-Tucson standards), and the concept isn't creative, but it's hard to argue with sitting outside and drinking a beer.

Fun watching my social media feeds with pics and vids of all the snow-covered saguaros back home in Tucson. Meanwhile we've had lots of good snow here in Idaho. We have something like a 70% chance of rain/snow mix headed our way for the next 6 days. Lots of good snow pack for the mountains. Enjoy.
