    Yup. 
     

    and another 2 within 45 minutes. 
     

    We get several nights each winter with sub zero temperatures and generally doesn’t get above 45* from Nov-April. But it’s a dry cold…

    Not to mention this giant hill...

    We've lived in small towns since leaving Grapevine in 1993.

    Steamboat Springs

    Los Alamos

    Taos.

    I didn't post about this yet. Kind of been wondering when to do so.

    After our last progeny left home in 2020, we decided to jump to this awesome little town. There's no DQ.

    We used to come here for any occasion - birthdays and anniversaries, music (Robert Plant and Allison Krauss will be here in June), and just for the hell of it. We were in Los Alamos for almost 24 years. Raised all our chitlins there.

    So it was our dream to get here somehow someway, sometime.

    In August of 2020, we were driving through, the Mrs. announces she's starting to look at properties. 5 months later we closed on a pretty damn cool place, I must say.

    Population here is about 6,600. We have about 32 places to eat/drink within a 15 minute walk. Wilderness within 15 minute drive. World class skiing within 30 minutes. Got a new hot tub.

    We sold our gym to one of our coaches a month after we left Los Alamos; still coaching locally at CrossFit Yeti.

    It's awesome.

     

     

    I know where you are based on that description... cold cold place or so I've been told.  You've got world-class skiing for sure about 30 minutes away and another mountain about 45 minutes due east.  Amirite?

  3. Pos rep and nice steeps.  Would be a dream... not to mention no TVs and hopefully crappy wi-fi would be a parent's dream.  

    I checked out the prices out of curiosity... seems like for a family, it can add up.  But still.  That and Valle de Las Lenas would be amazing.

    My family enjoyed Ski Portillo in Chile.  All inclusive place once you get there-excellent slopes and service - highly recommend going during Chilean wine week which is last week in July I believe.  Early July is early season so snow conditions may be questionable then....Ive heard good things about Valle Nevado - more of a do it yourself planning trip - Valle Nevado is on the IKON pass as well....

    Portillo is on my ski bucket list... would love to stay there.  Talked to some friends last week who stayed there and said it was amazing.  Sounds like the Condor lift is an experience!

    While Europe has taken a beating this year, thankfully where we're going is hanging in there... just had 8" of new snow yesterday and the base is allegedly sitting at 80" .  I so cannot wait.

    The "most exciting announcement of the day" is that they are building a new factory in Mexico to build their next-generation models.  I'm sure that went over well with his fanboys.

    His right-leaning fans must be so conflicted with all the things he promotes that they hate.  

    EVs

    Sustainability

    Eliminating fossil fuels

    Jobs for Mexicans

    "But but... uh... he owns the libs!!!"

    To be fair, his only plan was to spell out S3XY with 4 models. There was no plan past that. The faltering development of the Cybertuck and the lack of an improvement roadmap for those 4 models shows that.

     

    OMG, I thought this was a joke but its so on brand for him.

    It's 11p. At what point do we worry that he hasn't checked-in?

    Well, I made it.  I learned two things:

     

    1. My buddy thinks everything Tesla is doing is perfect and they're the best at everything and they're brilliantly safer than any other car and will eventually be the best selling car in the world because Elon

    2. I walked past a parked Tesla and noticed the door was wonky and not lined up properly.  I didn't realize this was an issue with Teslas until recently when my neighbor bought one and he said his panels and front headlight were kind of off.  Quality control.

    That and I told him about the review that the cyber truck looks like an out of place paper towel dispenser.  He said it's not for everyone.

    OK y'all... buddy of mine is in town from Houston for the Tesla Investor Day.  We're going to catch up later... he had asked me if I wanted to meet at some Tesla bro meet up at Clive Bar on Rainey to which I said, "nah, I'm good" BUT I am going to meet up with him in the general vicinity.  I'll let you know what Teslashenanigans and "Tesbros" I see.

    In the past, you could not pick the pool you were assigned to, so it eliminated a lot of applicants who didn’t have a car or who weren’t allowed to drive across town.

    Yeah but you could work something like Ramsey Pool which would be super chill

  10. Can gain of function research help my bros with bigger gains in the gym?

    No, gain-of-function research is a type of scientific research that involves altering the genetics or characteristics of organisms or viruses to enhance their function or properties. It is typically done to study the potential risks and benefits of these alterations and to develop new therapies or vaccines.

    It has nothing to do with improving athletic performance or muscle gain. Building muscle requires a combination of regular exercise, proper nutrition, and rest. It's important to focus on healthy habits to achieve fitness goals, rather than seeking shortcuts or potentially harmful methods.

    but what if the doctors like to work out? 

    While it's possible for doctors or researchers who enjoy working out to also be involved in gain-of-function research, it's important to understand that the two are not related. Gain-of-function research is focused on understanding how viruses and other organisms function and how they can be manipulated to better understand disease and develop treatments.

    If a doctor or researcher is interested in helping people improve their athletic performance or build muscle, there are other areas of study and research that may be more relevant, such as sports medicine or exercise physiology. However, it's important to remember that doctors and researchers have a responsibility to conduct research that is safe, ethical, and focused on improving public health. They should not use their positions to promote untested or potentially harmful methods for personal gain.
