  1. Blackened fish tacos with sirachia cream sauce and lime cilantro cabbage slaw.
  2. You don't have to leave. If you don't like the CBs, just talk about other things.
  3. I dream of the day we have an articulate President who believes character and morality is important. We don't all agree on issues. But, that doesn't mean we have to be disgusting human beings towards each other. George Bush had it, Bill Clinton had it, George Bush II had it, Obama had it.....then......comes.......
  4. Well....if you want the most scenic views of Nebraska, you would get off I-80. For me, the most beautiful views are taking highway 20 across the top of the state.....drop down through Arthur, Ogalalla and then on to Colorado. You could even go on to Scotts Bluff then down to Cheyenne. I just love the northern part of the state and the Sandhills. But, that's just me. If you need to stay farther south, I would go to Beatrice, Minden, Holdrege...McCook. Two lane highway, and would take longer than I-80. If you're set on staying on I-80, you can get off at Cozad and go south to Camp Cameca. At the top fo the hill, there is a cool look out point where you can see the entire valley. I would also take the drive north of Ogallala across the dam across the lake, take the highway along the north shore and then drop back down to the interstate. Restaurants: Ole's Big Game Lounge in Paxton. The Feed Store in Arapahoe Belle Italia in Cozad Chances R in York
  5. Dude....it's been explained to you so many times.......
  6. Probably, because you're assessment is wrong and you don't understand what those early CBs even mean?
  7. This needs to be another 20+ point win. Its only going to happen though if the team comes out focused and reflecting them from the start. come out early and make a statement.
  8. Then you obviously don’t understand what the expert is doing when they put in a CB.
  9. Fir one thing, you have to reinvest in a business or it ceases to exist. Either that comes from outside investment or what’s called retained earnings. If if you don’t make money, nobody is going to invest and you have no retained earnings. This is concept is really that puzzling to you?
  10. It’s amazing that I even need to explain it. If a company only breaks even, it will be out of business very soon. If my company never ever makes a profit, eventually it’s going to lose money and can’t jay its bills, grow, develop new customers and markets. It really isn’t that difficult of a concept. If my my company broke even this year, I would be in panic mode.
  11. I read this yesterday and I’m still trying to get past the bolded.
  12. I will add after reading @Moiraine the main reason we stayed in Jackson instead of in Yellowstone is because it was all booked up. I booked my trip in February and it was to late. If if you want to stay there, book a long time In advance. We we didn’t have a problem driving from Jackson. The scenery was beautiful enough that we enjoyed it and the rest of our trip was more in the Tetons.
  13. Why do you think they don’t? There are are people who work for services that try to talk to the recruit and people around him and then put in a CB indicating the feeling their getting. I guess i don’t understand what the controversy is over CBs. If you don’t like them, don’t pay attention to them?
  14. Thanks. What i I would really like is more of a relaxing hike of a few miles then camp a couple nights in one spot. I would lije some fly fishing and a day hike or two. We didnt see any bears on the hike.
  15. Sunday - Drove up, got checked in, ate supper and did some shopping. Monday - Headed to Yellowstone and visited all the major tourist sites. Old Faithfull, Yellowstone Grand Canyon (amazing)....etc. This took all day. We did make it back to Jackson in time for supper. But, it was a big day. Could easily spend more time than this in Yellowstone. Tuesday - Got up early, went Kayaking on Jenny Lake. Beautiful and relaxing. Kayaked across lake then went on a nice hike up to a lookout area. This took us up to around noon. Got a nice lunch then went to check in at our camping rental store. This took a little while because they we talked to them a lot about where to hike. A hike like we did (and never had done it before) took a lot of planning and they were great at advising us on where to go. Wednesday - This is where it got interesting. Loaded up with gear for three days. Everything is pack in and pack out with no facilities once you leave civilization. food, toilet paper...everything. We took the Gondola out of Teton Village. That got us up at least to a decent altitude first. We then hiked to Marion Lake. This was a pretty big day for our first time at altitude. Absolutely beautiful. Thursday - Our biggest day as far as miles, we hiked along Death Canyon shelf, to get to the Alaska Basin. Absolutely beautiful. The wild flowers were in their peak season and it was like a HUGE landscaped garden in areas we went through with gorgeous sites everywhere. We camped in Alaska Basin. It's actually outside the national park so there is no designated sites. you find a spot, and camp. Friday - Less miles than Thursday, but it was a huge day that we really weren't expecting. We started at around 9,000 feet from our campsite, had to climb up to over 11,000 and cross over static peak. This is the highest trail in the entire park and it's the most hit spot with lightning. Yes, a storm was coming when we were crossing. We had to cross multiple glaciers and do a lot of switchbacks both going up and down the peak. From the peak, we had to descend around 7,000 feet. Going down is a killer on the legs. Bad thing was, once we got down to Phelps lake, the trail went back up a long ways. My wife just about didn't make that climb. We think this day was around 10-12 miles but it was absolutely grueling most of the time. You really felt like you were on top of the world though. Beautiful (common theme ). We were able to get home Saturday morning. Both my wife and I dropped between 5-9 lbs on the trip. All three days were with what we figure probably was about 50-60 lbs on our backs. We over packed because it was our first time. We would do some things different...like, we took way too much food. Lodging = 49er Inn and Suites. This was cheaper than lots of places and still nice. Right off of down town and nice location. Rentals = https://tetonbcrentals.com/index These guys were fantastic. They were very experienced in hiking themselves and knew exactly what we needed. Talk to them long before you go. Their website is a great resource too on what you need to pack. The right clothing is extremely important. The weather was nice and in the 60s during the day when we were there, but it would could dip down into the upper 30s at night. Need lots of layers and REALLY GOOD hiking shoes that are well broke in. Bear spray.....always take bear spray and have it ready. Be smart. A hiking trip like we did is not for people who aren't in shape and conscious about what they are getting into. Have fun and let me know if you have any other questions. I hope to do some hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park next summer.
