Maybe hookers, blow, and midget ghillies on the Alta in Norway. Yeah, that would work.Maybe?
SFR $465 million - What would you do?
- Thread starter Canuck from Kansas
- Start date
Sorta fishing-related
That leaves me out…
If anyone is into the combo of hookers and midgets, I know where that can be found.

Damn, one stop shopping!
Pay off my children’s mortgages, education for my grandchildren, 401k’s for the family. Travel to Ireland once more, then Tuscany, and Oxford to visit my friend Chris. Fix the dent in the door of my truck, then detail the shit out of it. and if she’ll go with me, move to Idaho and build a house for us. FWA! Pay for my sister’s dementia care. Get a tractor for the ranch to help with mowing the upper bluff. Set up a woodworking shop to play with. Import Dingle Whiskey…by the barrel.
Wow,a Zappa moment!
I was wondering if anybody else got the link.

Invest $400,000,000 spread around in low risk commodities and mutual funds. Invest $50,000,000 on a mid-risk/higher reward portfolio. Live simply and comfortably and travel/fish on the remaining $15,000,000 for the next 30-40 years.
So I guess the jackpot is up to 1 billion now. If you buy Soap Lake that means you have like 999 million left over. Might as well buy Ritzville. Maybe Spanaway. And maybe buy Stonefish a Krispy Kreme franchise on Aurora Ave.

I will refrain from further comment.
Doesn't hurt to ask if you hit the jackpot and need company though.

I live small enjoyably so it’s hard to imagine putting a dent in that money.
Buy fly rods for as many youth hands as I can and give my own out to any seemingly half interested kid on a hike/trip. Start a blue collar business with no barrier to skill to employ individuals on a daily basis. Hopefully supplying transient communities an opportunity out. Then maybe evolve that to a privatized housing program.
Of course doing all this with no debt for myself and family, setting up an educational trust, finally finishing my project Mustang and building a new shop.
Pay for others gas at the pump in $2 bills.

I hope this is not too long nor political. Won't know until I finish it. If political, please let's keep it to a minimum....
I have lived a a long and hard working life for a middle class lifestyle. Earned what I have and also learned some hard lessons along the way. One of the things I have learned is to give back and help others and as well as pay it forward. Baby Boomers, like me, had a great chance to be the best generation ever. It is what we did to experience and take advantage of that will determine how we are remembered for. Only time will tell... Future generations will not experience what we remember nor understand/experience what we have. We had the best of times and some of the greatest challenges as technology overcame us.
Some of the experiences and payback as well as pay it forward I have been a part of:
Have invited people over to fish and create forever memories. Bruce (HBMCC) was able to get away and catch his biggest trout ever, then catch a larger one minutes later only to have a bigger fish break 10lb test a bit later. A grandfather wanting to fish with his grandson and build a relationship and memories. The smile on his grandson's face after fishing said it all. Having an adoption group associated with one of my daughters catch her first large fish was priceless. Her handwritten note a couple of weeks later (who does that?) ending with "I like tugs!" - say no more. Later I found that she was the first and only girl to complete the sessions with the MayFly project (@Northern and @FishingGirl ). I wish I could of helped the MayFly project more but my area did not support that. I would buy a bunch of property, enable veterans and others with safe and convenient access as well as provide access, especially younger folks, access to cast and catch from a quality fishery. I have also supported 'Make A Wish' endeavors for those with medical challenges. Smiles on their faces is priceless for sure...
My wife and I had a scavenger hunt for our daughter's 8th birthday. No one could find nor tell the difference between a maple leaf or an alder leaf. Much less find a Rollie Pollie or newt/salamander. My daughters could. So I would support a 'camp' to educate people about nature that we live in. This site with the thread "Backyard Wildlife' is awesome! Wish it could be shared more widely. The amount I have learned is beyond expectations - for sure. @Evan B ?
So I would commit a good portion of the lottery to funds that make 'give back and pay it forward' a long term reality. I would do it at a local level because that is not enough money for a national level. It could provide a roadmap for other areas of what can be accomplished. That would include supporting our veterans as well as local organizations that help out our latest generations. Baby Boomers can only do so much. We need to support the energy and new insights as well as new approaches to solve our existing/future problems/opportunities. I would create perpetual scholarships for the young, invigorated, and talented generations in the areas of Biology, Fisheries, Water, Pollution, Climate, and Environmental Sciences. We need their help and support to continue fact based science to address current and future concerns.
