What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston? Non-CR thread
It happens more than it should. I know of two incidents in Tanglewood over the last few years where friends or parents of friends were attacked on their property upon returning home. I live between Briargrove and Tanglewood on Potomac and last year a guy opened my gate and was hanging out in my “yard” around my patio home. My yard is about 4 feet of rocks/artificial turf around two sides of my patio home. Absolutely no reason for anyone to be there. Freaked my wife out pretty good. After she called the cops the guy finally left.

Ski Season 2024/2025
That’s it. It’s off the Elk Camp lift. The hike uphill isn’t easy especially with a foot or so of fresh snow and of course you are carrying your skis. I was exhausted for the rest of the day but it was worth it.

Ski Season 2024/2025
Snowmass was great today. 8+ inches of new snow on the top of Long Shot and it was well worth the hike.

C-Man's Tahoe is about to give up the ghost -- let's talk replacement vehicles!
Maybe I missed it but I saw nothing about the fairly new version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Mine is about 2.5 years old and just over 30k miles. I think it was around $45k loaded and new. I drove a BMW 5 series for about 22 years (E39 and the F10 models) and the Jeep handles about like the boat-like F10. The Jeep, so far, has been fantastic and I’m very pleased with it.

Holiday meal leftovers
Cheese steaks with left over prime rib. Whole Foods has soft hoagie bread that toasts up perfectly for a cheese steak.

The Bob Dylan Thread
I saw this yesterday evening after our Christmas Day celebration and highly recommend it. I was a toddler during the events depicted in the film, but I was a Dylan fan in high school in the 70's. It captures Dylan's evolution from a folk artist to folk-rock in the 60's.

Israel vs everyone war thread
Very cool to hear how the pager attack has caused havoc among the terrorists. They wouldn’t use their ACs for fear that the thermostats would explode. They don’t know what’s next.

Israel vs everyone war thread
Perhaps. I’m reading Rise and Kill First. Israeli intelligence plays a long game. The 60 minutes episode was pretty good.

Prime Rib Christmas (Let's talk)
My experience is that choice prime rib is fine. IMO, it’s usually not worth it to get prime.

Prime Rib Christmas (Let's talk)
My BIL is doing prime rib on Wednesday. He tends to overcook things. I hope he doesn’t fuck this up.
