Bump!
Our man gets the keys to his coins today.
GoFundMe requires withdrawal arrangements to be set up within a month of campaign kickoff, else cease accepting new contributions. That's September 2nd here, so this morning I designated Yeti as the beneficiary.
This platform only allows a single beneficiary to be linked for withdrawal. If we want to do this sort of crowdfunding for others, we can either set up individual fundraisers for them, or find a volunteer to be the manager of the funds and distribute to the worthy. Or buy them plane tickets to avoid gray area cash transactions.
Currently there's $1237 for YetiMan. FKNA!
Further contributions are allowed once he completes the withdrawal setup.

I’m imagining driving, for purposes of saving $ and having some logistical flexibility for some non-bbi-related visiting while in Utah. I just imagined that happening, visting some old friends there, and got a little bit choked up...some times I have what could only be described as flashbacks where for a moment I just feel like I’m there, and if it’s a good one I always drift to going to eat somewhere or going to see a friend....and it just crrrushes me when I realize I’m here and not there.
I think this could be the trip I’ve been imagining for a long time where I bring my skeptical wife to Salt Lake/Ogden so she can see it’s not Provo.

yeti / i-as ...
I hope it works for you(,) to make this trip --
I remember standing in the parking lot at Alta in January of '95 as they had ninety-eight inches of snow in four days with tears running, thinking,
' If this is as close to heaven as I get - it's okay. '
Time marches on., and Life takes some unexpected turns...
I don't know If I will get to utah in March ( - Targhee and KC the previous week remain a priority. . . )
But I hope you can do this : your friends want You There (!) Good luck... tj" ... I will do anything to go Skiing ... There Is no pride ... " (Miriam , 2005-2006 epic)

I just opened utahrealestate. That was a mistake.
Nearby where I sold my house for 110K is just littered with houses for sale from $300K to $500. I don't think we'll ever be able to move there, my wife's not going to live in some ghetto apartment in Magna so I can go skiing. I'm not going to get divorced to move to Utah at age 40 with a bad back.
I don't know. I thought it would be good to bring her, with a thought of moving, but shit....the whole cost of living has completely changed...there's no way it's even close to feasible now. I don't even know how people manage with little regular houses in the city being half a million dollars. How does anybody live like that?

Check Ogden. There's still some values there, less than 150k, close (15 minutes) to Snow Basin and PowMow with LCC/BCC with easy range. You can do this if you want.

I used to have to go to an office at 25th and Adams. Walking across the dead-body, hypodermic needle field between the office and the parking. I was always so happy to get out of there at the end of the day.
I see on streetview there's a fancy new building where that biohazard field used to be....
The world is just racing past me like a freight train. I remember when I could take a few strides, catch it and go along for the ride, now it's just going to rip my arm off if I even try.

it's more about getting up to speed so it doesn't hurt so much... not that that's any easier
I am not in your hurry

Yeah, parts of Adams are still a little sketch, but it's way better than it was 20 years ago. If I was looking for an affordable place to live and ski now, I would choose Ogden.
You can do this.
