Leafs, 😂. Love it

🤮

Was at the game last night here in Cbus. Sabres played well and have a good effort even though the game didn’t mean anything. Too bad they had those two long stretches this year of bad hockey, or else they’d have made it. Fun year though and they really should be in good position next year to make some noise. Levi’s play has been very encouraging.

There’s not a lot of good evidence right now for topical / transdermal delivery of Cannabinoids. Cannabinoids present some unique challenges from a drug delivery standpoint in general, and those types of products are at the top of the list. There’s a lot less bioactivity when compared to smoking / vaping, ingestion, sublingual, etc. That’s not to say good topicals are impossible or non-existent, there just haven’t been a lot of proper studies backing it up past anecdotal evidence. There is a LOT of individual variability in peoples response to Cannabinoids and as a whole, we really don’t know squat about them. The barriers to research are significant and as that has started to change, we will see a rapid increase in our understanding. Perhaps in 10 or 20 years we will know more about WHY the same couple hits of weed can put someone close to an ER visit while others can go about their day like nothing is different.

Im not a clinician but I’m a month shy of a masters degree in medical cannabis science and therapeutics. I can at least give some direction on things to look for as while there are some promising developments, the CBD / hemp derived product industry is quite a bit more of a “Wild West” than regulated medicinal or adult use markets. PM me with any specific questions If you’re just talking getting high, sure the “regular stuff” is going to do the job. But CBD has some promising applications and we’re just scratching the surface of our knowledge on Delta 8. When isolated correctly from “real” labs and equipment, there’s therapeutic potential for both. While less potent, Delta 8 is in fact psychoactive. It binds differently to cannabinoid receptors in general, so the effects are typically more subdued. Take enough, and you’ll still get there. It’s also naturally occurring in the plant, just not in commercially available amounts that’s why the stuff you see for sale “made” from CBD in the lab. It’s a complicated legal issue at this point that stems from the social equity and diversity initiatives that NY included in their licensing awards. Definitely an unintended consequence of how they set up the system. Like you said, illegal places keep popping up everywhere while other “legitimate” businesses still sit on the sidelines. There’s been an injunction in place preventing issuing of new licenses in those areas while they try and sort it out. It’s kind of a mess.

It’s def a f’d up movie but to me it’s more of a depressing / wtf type feeling than “scary”.

That’s exactly what it is and why they are so dangerous. It “looks” like the snow is hard packed around there but it’s not so it’s easy to fall in and get stuck

Tree wells are some dangerous stuff. If you get inverted like that it’s something like 90+% will be unable to free themselves. At my age, I stick to inbounds stuff but looks like the boarder broke the cardinal rule of skiing with a partner in the trees. (The “rescuer” also lost sight of his partner 😬)

And? These types of stats are meaningless. If the Bills ever win the super bowl it will be a lot of “firsts”

It has to be a bot…😂

I stayed put in 109

I learned to drive a manual on a heavy duty truck (with non synchronized transmission) with no prior experience. Good times! Still have a class B license actually, and wouldn’t have any problems getting behind the wheel. Like riding a bike!

Another thing that popped into my head is to become familiarized with tax implications. Personal use is restricted to 14 days per year in the eyes of the IRS. If you exceed that limit, the IRS considers the property a second home and you lose the ability to deduct many expenses. There is a work around where “maintenance days” do not count against the 14 days, but you better have some detailed documentation of the “work” each time you do that in case of an audit.

We have a short term rental condo in a resort town in Montana. I can probably get deeper into it later or via PM but a few quick things off the top of my head. As with anything home related, there will always be expenses you didn’t think about. Especially with a short term rental. Stuff like rental permits, supplies not provided by mgmt company, utilities, HOA assessments, etc. Do A LOT of research on your target area. You still won’t be able to nail down an exact number on what you’ll pull in annually, but you can get a good idea of market conditions by looking at a number of “comparable” properties on Airbnb / vrbo, etc. Look at a lot of calendars to get an idea of how rates change for over the course of the year and what occupancy looks like. Similar to point above, do a lot of research about HOA rules, short term rental permitting, and any other local rules & regulations. Do a lot of research on your property management co. If you are absentee, this is obv the most important part of the equation outside of the property itself. Protect yourself. I formed an LLC to purchase our rental and it’s owned by the LLC with my wife and I as co owners (also had to register as a foreign LLC in Montana as I established the LLC in / we live in Ohio.) This took longer to set up (took IRS a good 2 months to get me an EIN) and is more costly but it provides us a layer of protection if a guest were to sue us for anything that happened there. As with above, pay up for good insurance. I went with a place that specializes in short term rental insurance. Many “traditional” coverages have gaps that exist due to nature of short term rental (even with appropriate riders). So many things that could bite you in the ass If you’re not careful. I think I’m order to really make bank on a short term rental, it really must be in the right spot (shocker). Don’t just think “hey it’s in myrtle beach, it’ll do great”. What about the specific spot would make it do great? What stands out against all the competition? (There’s a ton nowadays) We’ve been happy with our situation because we love the area so much and we personally benefit from getting to use it. Ask yourself what you’re trying to get out of it to help determine if it’s a “good” move or not. Is it more of a second home that you’ll be able to offset some costs of? Is it purely for profit with no real personal attachment to the area? Everyone’s situation is different and the determination of if it’s “successful” or not will vary accordingly.

Got me too 😡🤦‍♂️

The answer to what, hosting football games? It’s been happening there for 50 years, seems to work.

People are delusional if they think the Bills stadium being downtown and having a dome would somehow create a hotbed for conventions, big events, etc.

Hopkins and a bunch of other major research institutions are doing studies on this. Pretty interesting stuff.

I think they know that’s really all the region can realistically support.

I’m good with it

Blessing in disguise.

Probably 🤦🏻‍♂️

McShay is still “working”?

Another cool spot with a good beach and plane viewing is Karakter on Simpson bay beach. Been there a few times, It’s a bit more low key than Maho. https://karakterstmaarten.com Haven't been back to SXM since Irma, but used to be regular visitors.
