    OT: Whitefish, Montana skiing in Dec

    I’ve skied both Whitefish and Big Sky multiple times and although both are great places, I’d choose Whitefish. It’s less “touristy” and more quaint in my opinion. Also, as someone who flies for free on Southwest it’s much harder to get to… we have to fly into Spokane and drive to Whitefish, but...

    Got a feeling deer hunters and body shops are going

    Venison processing prices are insane. I can buy Country Pleasing smoked sausage in the grocery store for less than what it cost me to have the venison I provide the processor turned into sausage. We started processing our own ground venison last season due to the rising costs.

    OT: MSU Housing Issues

    I was in Sessums for Fall 84 and Spring 85. I remember coming back in January to a lot of empty rooms.

    OT: Best credit card for hotel stays

    My wife and I are traveling overseas this spring. Trip requires 8 hotel nights. Prices in US dollars range from $400 to more than $500 per hotel night where we will be staying. I’m using points to get all 8 nights for free at a savings of about $4000. We have also booked all of our hotel rooms...

    OT: Best credit card for hotel stays

    When an attractive bonus point offer is posted for one of the 4 hotels I use, I sign up for the credit card and make the minimum purchase required to receive the bonus points. I then stop using that card and go back to the regulars (Sam’s and Citicard). Once the bonus points are received, I call...

    OT: Best credit card for hotel stays

    We use the Sam’s card as well to get 5% back on gas and 3% back on restaurants. We use the Citicard to get 2% back on everything else. We also use hotel cards (Marriott, IHG, Hilton and Hyatt) to get the bonuses that we use for free nights when we travel. And of course, the Southwest card to...

    OT: Best credit card for hotel stays

    I think they have a 5/24 rule. If you’ve opened 5 Chase accounts in 24 months they won’t let you open another.

    Southwest is offering the 85,000 bonus points again. I signed up for this offer back in June. That’s enough points for up to 4 free round trip flights if anyone is looking to travel for free. https://www.referyourchasecard.com/226s/DXWAKDYPDR

    Toledo game attendance

    Announced crowd of 48,724 for Game 1. I’m guessing announced crowd Saturday will be somewhere between 40,000 and 45,000. I’m seeing more tickets on the secondary market than I did for the opener.

    OT: Job Report.

    I have a son that is a 2022 graduate in business administration from Mississippi State. He has had a difficult time finding a job using his degree. He is currently working a job that he could’ve gotten out of high school without a degree while he continues to look for something better.

    OT: Whitefish, Montana skiing in Dec

    Our family has been to Whitefish a couple of times in December and had a great time. Not all the runs were open but plenty were. I think as long as you are going in late December you should be fine. Last year we went to Steamboat in early/mid December and it turned out okay as a bunch of new...
