Heading to Peru

Hundred year anniversary of the discovery of Machu Picchu is this year. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Fort Lauderdale, catching a flight to Lima later in the afternoon, and hiking through the Andes Mountains with my brother-in-law, father-in-law, and a good buddy of mine. The trek is four days at roughly 15,000 feet, and culminates at the legendary Machu Picchu.

Pics when I get back :D

(also anyone who wants to help me find a way to watch the Panthers-Bengals game in Peru in a discreet manner can PM me any relevant links :D )

I was barely able to snowboard at 13,000 feet. 15,000 is going to be tough.

Good Luck.

15,000 feet is a biiiiitch oh man

What is altitude sickness like?

absolute torture and misery. i had a splitting headache and i puked multiple times on the climb (2500 feet in about three hours.) how i managed to stumble into camp at the end of the day ill never know. ill post a blog about it later

How do you afford all of these trips?

Yea man how the hell are you able to go to all these places?

because i have the desire to do it and the fear that accompanies doing these things doesn't hold me back. thats not motivational poster bullshit - i know a ton of people that would LOVE to be able to go out and do these things and live the life they've dreamed of, but they excuse their fear (which usually relates to possessions, or comfort, or lackthereof, or simple xenophobia) with complaints that they can't afford it.

i love my job but i dont make very much money doing it. however, i save what i have, and i also travel very cheaply. i'm staying in a hostel for ten bucks a night and eating local food.

the average smoker spends 3-5000 bucks on cigarettes every year. i'm doing this trip for a little over 1500, roundtrip airfare included. if a smoker quit smoking, he could do two or three of my trips in a year with the money he saved. the same could be said of drinking and new cars and overpriced houses and massive televisions.

people choose what they want and they get it. i have chosen this, and it is mine.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
