  1. first time on a board. my 10yo seems to be a natural. I finally got to try out my new board (170cm ultra wide) and it helps a ton keeping my size 15s off the snow on toe turns keystone has been good so far. snowing on and off a little bit most of the time but nothing heavy. no ice. should get a lot of sun tomorrow. going to drive to Breck on Thur as that was the only place to get her a boarding lesson in the area.
  2. I cannot tell you how lucky you are the storm got here late. No doubt. I was pessimistic and prepared to hole up at Co Springs if it was bad. Saw a weather report that said it would start in Denver around noon but not accumulate till later in afternoon. and then figured we could get there sooner than that. Appreciate all the knowledge 🙏
  3. Made it in to keystone around 1:30. Just rain on 25 up through Denver for the most part. 70 was nice and clean too with no ice or snow on the road. Drove into Lubbock last night then took off around 4am this morning. Kept checking the road cams and saw reports that the snow was a little delayed so we pressed on.
  4. should be negged for bringing up Seager. That guy should pursue 10-day contracts with teams that are currently playing the Rangers. 1st ballot HOF
  5. well for the jello, what can i say? it was hot and i was hungry
  6. what's the latest on when it's supposed to dump?
  7. appointments are refreshed. there are even some in bigger cities like Dallas open. I'm giving it 1 more week for 1B-ers to get their shit together before i try to book one next week. i'm upper 40s, so close enough
  8. i get the concept of the thread, but there are going to knife fights over the most basic food items. maybe jello? fries? cheese quesadilla?
  9. it a great story and along with Black House has a ton of ties to the Tower universe.
  10. work for large multi-nat company that had in their policy you could do 1 remote work day per week. Then we went solely from home for the last year and we are told to stay remote until Q2 end. I have a 45 min each way commute, but the kids' school is about a 30 minute trip and on the way, so it's not a big deal. Once we open back up, i will definitely take advantage of the remote day. I would not be surprised if they extend that to 2-3 days per week. We have all proved we are productive mf'ers working from home. But some face time is sorely needed in my group. we had 2 people transfer out and hired 2 new people. I think they feel like they are not fully part of the team yet since we have all been remote.
  11. are we sure this is not some inception level humble brag about 52-80's 15,500sqft mansion where it actually might take too long to heat back up? you would leave the heater going in the tiny giraffe's room, right?
  12. They will play the eyes at the end of every sporting event, just like they have for a long fucking time. No one will be required to sing it or participate if they feel like it offends them. Donors need to stop fucking with players that don't want to participate. Stop fucking moving your hand/hookem sign the entire song. it only happens at the end.
  13. ok, thanks. would coming up 9 from even further south (head west from Pueblo on 50 and come up through Hartsel/Fairplay) even be an option? or would those roads be worse to traverse in a storm?
  14. i don't really know what to say about that other than poor kids. the need for that guy to drag her dead body out for the sole purpose of dunking on her in front of the kids is ...
  15. i stumbled upon this one night and watched 2 episodes through. not saying it was great or anything, but it reminds of some Stephen King type stuff. God vs Devils, an imperfect priest, possession, people dying violently. Cannot really comment on the overall story arc though. you should totally watch it and if you hate it then come back and neg me.
  16. yeah, just got a ~$1500 estimate for repairs. mostly PVC replacement, a few check valves and the chlorinator. my plumbing repair expertise tops out with sprinkler systems so letting the pros handle this one.
  17. i think the point is that this is suuuuuuuch small potatoes that we should file it under 'who cares'. Eventually the teacher will get caught. if the program has a decent success rate and low-ish fraud rate, again who cares? compared to the grift that happens at local/state/federal levels, it is tiny. But again, people who don't give a fuck that Paxton has been under indictment since 2015 for securities fraud would go completely ape-shit that poor people were getting money and that there could be fraud. Heaven help us if there was a news story about $20 changing hands under the table. it would be a national story while no one gives a fuck about Ted Cruz buying his own book with campaign funds to collect more royalties or the mountain of grift that benefited Trump by staging everything he could at his hotels and that entities and foreign nationals booked dozens of rooms to provide backsheesh/douceur before a meet. The theme this comes back to again and again is fuck people poorer than me getting anything justified by inane "mah taxes", "mah bootstraps" and "mah 'tegridy"
  18. if you get the vax in one city and need the 2nd dose, will they let you schedule it in another city?
  19. since beginning of Sept. we have made it through so far with only 1 'close contact' scare between my 2 kids where a classmate kid starting showing symptoms, stopped going to school and then tested positive a few days later. 4 kids in the class (of 14) were deemed close contacts and had to q-tine for 10 days and do in-home learning. none of those kids got c-19 nor the teacher. The younger one's teacher q-tined herself 2 separate times due to being a close contact to a positive case outside of school and taught from home with another teaching filling in at the classroom. all in all, not too bad and what they are doing at school seems to work to mitigate spreading any positive cases that showed up to school. they wear masks the whole time and I think they have partitioned eating areas or ate in the classrooms (or outside during good weather), but not partitioned in the classroom; just spaced out as well as they could. The class sizes were already kinda small, but i think 85% or so elected to send their kids to in-person classes. would the results be different in a classroom crammed with 30 kids? maybe. would i personally want to test out that theory, nah. so i don't automatically condemn teachers for not wanting to be in that environment day in day out.
  20. interesting. i have a stoker, but it seems they are out of biz and you can't get any more probes. It still works pretty well, but i was looking at possible replacements.
  21. not to defend pieces of shit, but i think likening Ted Cruz to them goes a little too far and they don't deserve that harsh treatment.
  22. obligatory "Does he have any eligibility left"
  23. first time driving there in a looooong time. would it be better to avoid Denver/I-70 in getting to Keystone? - Plan is to be rolling into Keystone on Saturday afternoon
