re: Thoughts on Montreal and Quebec?

Posted by wiltznucs on 5/13/24 at 8:43 pm
Montreal is a great town. Finding English speakers is a non-issue. Strong food scene. Hit Schwartz’s Deli for Montreal smoked meat. Take in Notre Dame cathedral. Public transportation is fast, safe and clean. ...

re: Old tackle box

I truly regret discovering my father’s old tackle box that sort of went extinct once he married, sold out to the man and had kids. LOL.. We didn’t have much and I drowned a lot of those old baits 30+ years ago. Old Rapala, Rattle Traps, Creek Chub and other classics. In many cases still in...

Florida resident here. A few dozen Osceola birds behind me. If looking at next year you are pretty much looking at a guided/outfitted hunt. The good news; if any, is that with the tough economy you may be able to talk an outfitter into a hunt at a relative bargain. Still expect to pay somewher...

Franchises are tough. An average UPS Store does $1M+ in annual sales and half the franchise owners make less than $50K per year. Costs can be all over the map depending on the industry. Franchise fees may only be the beginning. A royalty or percent of net sales is common. In the restauran...

Have a few Slams behind me. If looking for classic buff white tip presentation; look at Wyoming or the Desert SW. Arizona and NM. The Dakota birds look more hybrid “Mer-Rio”; but, definitely behave Merriam. We hunted the Oglala Sioux Reservation and some private land there. I’m many yea...

re: Dune 2

Posted by wiltznucs on 2/29/24 at 9:33 pm
Just got back… It’s far and away the best screen offering of Dune. I’d recommend seeing it in IMAX if given the chance. I have one casting choice which sort of fell flat for me; but, the sum of the parts is really quite good....

Rome or London… Rome gives them a taste of real history and something they are familiar with. They’ve undoubtedly seen some of the monuments in their classes and who doesn’t like pizza? The Vatican is right there too. I’m dumbing it down a lot here; but, you get the gist. A 12yo’s eyes are on...
