Good Question!

Good Question!

I was pitched by Silicon Valley tech sales people the other day and I'm certain they are taught to say "good question!" and it's infuriating to me as the buyer. I'm not sure who taught them this but I imagine it goes like this: Sales Teacher: Most buyers are uncertain...

Saturday NFL Playoff Predictions – Take the Hook!

Saturday NFL Playoff Predictions – Take the Hook!

You're getting a rare treat. I'm ready to dole out some money winning selections. Remember, I'm a losing gambler. There is no reason to follow me but it's fun to do bad things. These are all picks that I will be backing so you know I have skin in the game. I track all...

Skiing in Montana

Skiing in Montana

I'm going to Montana with my GIRLFRIEND and her family tomorrow. Big Sky, to be specific. The plan is to ski. I've skied twice in my life. Once when I was 15 and once when I was 25. Neither made a big impact on me other than I was cold and I was bad at it. This time...

Scottsdale Golf Trip – Desert Canyon, TPC, & Troon

Scottsdale Golf Trip – Desert Canyon, TPC, & Troon

I've never been to Arizona. Known for warm winter weather and a golf paradise, I made it a point to visit. To make any trip happen, you gather a core group and make reservations. CK4, Evan, Bud, and myself picked a weekend in January and booked this Airbnb. It cost...

Why 76ers Season Tickets are Impossible

Why 76ers Season Tickets are Impossible

I've purchased 1/3 of 76ers season tickets for a few years now. That's two seats per game to 14 games a year plus playoffs. The strategy was to attend most games and sell the super high value games (Warriors, Lakers, etc.) because they're worth a lot, then get as many...

Catching a Package Thief

Catching a Package Thief

I ordered two Ring Security Cameras as a way to propel Stortz Tools into the 20th century (that's the joke). Why do we need security cameras? We've had expensive packages stolen off our front stoop when delivery drivers leave things there.We get graffiti on the side...

When Ratings Deceive

When Ratings Deceive

I'd like to consider myself a prudent shopper. I don't buy the cheapest of what I'm looking for and strive for long term value with superior products. The peer reviewed rating system is a major indicator of how I lean in my purchases. As you'll see below, my opinions...

The New Narrative

The New Narrative

With Covid cases taking a wild turn upward, it's funny to watch the narrative change. Biden ran his campaign to put an end to Covid and has utterly failed. Damage control clearly must be engaged as the public is losing interest in the office's leadership. What this...

Only Remember the Bad Beats

Only Remember the Bad Beats

Since the $900 dollar WFT loss, I've been 7-2 picking NFL outright (+$188). One of those two losses was a $339 dollar Chiefs loss which I'll get into later. I've also added $1,100 dollars of 1st TD's with $25 on Brandin Cooks (12-1), $50 on Travis Kelce (6-1), and $50...
