End the war in Ukraine in two weeks. No more foreign wars. Build a wall and make Mexico pay. Etc, etc. He's done none of that. Apparently hot air empty promises made to get elected, only. Meanwhile, who gives a crap about our soaring national debt (which he didn't mention once in his State of the Union), while his family and rich billionaire buddies pad their pockets. Like some other folks, I'm getting close to the end of my career, and am sitting fat and happy with my 401K and other investments. I worry for my young adult children, but I guess my own folks maybe felt the same way..... But hey, there is very important stuff he's also focusing on, like fixing college sports. --> President Trump urges college sports leaders to return to pre-NIL era: 'I'd like to go exactly back to what we had and ram it through a court' Oh brother.... As for whether the alternative would be better or not, my feeling is that question would have been better answered during the primaries, not the general election. It's obvious he is better than what the dems put up, but is he better than an old school fiscally conservative Republican? My opinion is no. I don't even know if those dudes exist anymore. Bla, bla, bla.....

Turned out same for me. Site says 2026, but when paid/printed, I've got the 3rd hunt in mid April 2027. So looks like lots of time to plan. lol Also yes, it said something about 2nd round, so looks like I lucked out and got an unclaimed tag. 👍

Ummm....... Now I woke to an email saying I was drawn for hunt #3 for 2026. (After getting the reject email 4 days ago.....) Same for a buddy. Rez site crashing now when I try to log in. lol

Swarovski service is second to none! Anything they service comes back as good as new, in my experience! Good luck selling!

Yep. Happened to some in our group, too. Confusing as heck! But yes, at least plenty of time to plan! lol

Ah, I got it. I'll run it by my boy. (It's his job and he's paying, so he'll be the one to decide, ultimately.....) Thanks!

Good things happen to good people!

Thanks for the info! Will take your advice and go slightly heavier with the coverage. Not certain where they're mining it, but yes, will be going with the Madison gold. Seems to have the most natural look. NOTAGS, thanks for the watchout tip on the moondust thing. We'll maybe talk to the folks at the sand/gravel operation to double check screening options.

Any landscapers or folks with good experience laying down 'Quarter Minus'? If so, I have a question for you! I'm helping my son landscape his front yard, and he's going with basically a zero-scape Sonoran Desert vibe (a few local native cacti and maybe a mesquite....). He's going with Quarter Minus as the base, which I have in my backyard and love. The question we have is with the pre-prep. Specifically, does the prepped ground have to be 100% clear of pebble sized rocks laying around (like, do we need to scrape it down to the fill dirt?), or will it be OK to put 2 1/2 - 3 inches of Quarter Minus right over the top of the small stones that are laying around? Wondering if the stones would eventually sort of percolate their way up to the top, or if the Quarter Minus should settle in nice and packed tight with a bit of water on top and time..... ( In my backyard, the Quarter Minus ended-up doing what it does, which is to settle into a nice dense packed layer.) Might be overthinking it.....

Wondering how OnX does their math... Seems wonky to me.... For instance, if draw odds are 20% and you have 5 bonus points (plus this year's app, so let's say 6), that does NOT mean you have a 100% chance. It means you have 6 unique 20% chances. The only way a unit is 100% is if it is undersubscribed or if the applicant is in the bonus pass, I THINK..... Am I missing something??

Totally missed that! Thanks!

Did they send the 'last chance to change credit card info' email yesterday??? Isn't that the precursor? If sent, I must have missed it......

Different scenarios.... Different agencies.

Why not? Seems pretty normal for agencies to be tight lipped on these sorts of things until everyone has done all of their investigative paperwork....
