Who runs bartertown?

just about wrapped up with the house, swapped out 13 outlets, 4 switches, added 5 outlets, 4 fixtures, added a 60amp circuit in the garage, lots of replacement drywall, tape texture and paint, tinted some windows and refinished exterior beams. Chefs kiss for curb appeal.

uhaul is still going nowhere in the driveway due to road conditions so realized I have time to swap out a utility sink in the garage so will be spending the dough on the Propex tools since I will need them several more times.

In other news,

I’ve reached my third level of rewards with my Home Depot pro desk account.

have a seat on the couch and tell me how you slept, your local temps and what ya got planned for the day.

 

[CBJ]

Not much sleep. Dealing with some problems that I thought was solved. Plus not sure if I will find a solution either.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Nasty cold/sore throat has been limiting sleep.

 

[Pesqueeb]

The 20 feet between the hot tub and the back door were invigorating last night. Slept okay. Single digits again today. Not enthused.

 

[canadmos]

It currently feels like -23 outside, thanks to a strong wind off the lake.

I guess I should goto work.

 

[4xBoy]

-9f and feels like worse.

Work till 10 then home.

 

[rideit]

Murf
Ugh
Schmarlf

In that order

 

[Toshi]

Berthoud pass still closed. Going to drive up to Kremmling then through the tunnel instead. Will add an hour but I do have work to do, eventually.

They keep closing/re-opening I-70 from Silverthorne up to the tunnel

edit: I say more speed, pull up and go for it over Corona Pass.

 

[Adventurous]

Lounging on the couch in front of the e-fire, sipping on coffee.

I shall work yes, but certainly am in no rush to do so. I've got some thinking to do first.

 

[Jozz]

Something's needs to be done.
Unsure of what it is.

 

[stoney]

-2*, feels like -23*. Wifey is having oral surgery, so I need to get MIL shortly so that she can watch the girls. After that, might go to the pool with the girls. Haley will use swimming as her cardio training instead of running, so we will do laps for a bit, then it's off to play with Hannah.

That’s what they say. But what do they know, anyway?

 

[scrublover]

Caffeine with DSO. Walking her after said caffeine does its work. Dropping her @ the groomer later. Will sneak in a ride. Do some laundry. Work tonight. 19F ATM.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Day off from work. Weird that we are not experience the brutal cold weather that so many others are. Still cold...currently 17 degrees. Anyway, I slept late, ran 5 miles, then sat in the hot tub for 30 minutes. Up next will be a dog walk then a bike workout. Exciting day!!

 

[TreeSaw]

Didn't sleep much but did sleep soundly. cold is still kicking my ass, but I have shit to do1 Laundry going, doing some score work and listening to some other options for my 2 bands. Heading to proctor a basketball game later before groceries are picked up. It's rather cold today, but nothing like out west.
For reference - my 2 foot step into my hot tub was invigorating...if it was a 20 foot walk, I probably would have bailed.

Can we get a @Toshi update? I see Floyd Hill is closed eastbound.

Morning Monkeys.

Currently 19 freedoms and sunny. Took Lil Man to a Blazer game last night. There was maybe 1/3 full. Usher moved us up so the boy could see. We left with 4 minutes left, but my brilliant wife took us out the back door and by the time we made it around, the game was over and everyone was leaving.

I did manage to park near the exit of the garage, so we still got our ok in the end.

It's meeting Monday and I'm WFH. So y'all know where to find me.

 

[Westy]

Decided that staying in my warm bed this morning was a more rewarding prospect than work.

 

[jonKranked]

Plotting ways to get some old bikes up and running again

 

[gonefirefightin]

Went to a local Les Schwab to buy a set of chains for the new thuper doodie since I have some “advanced” traveling to do soon and the tool behind the counter argued with me over my tire size and compatibility, to the point they were impossible to deal with, had to go to another store but not before calling the HQ in Prineville and talking to my peeps at the top of the food chain, they said he is already on review for similar behaviors but my report was enough for them to change management. I guess it’s been time for that store for a while.

Day 4 of frozen sample lines makes for fun times at all hours. Alternate air pressure with vacuum over and over!

the cityfolk are engaged in the weekly exodus dance so I can't get to my office within two hours anyway

God speed my friend.

A look back at the day we froze our bojangles off at the top of the parkway. And somehow ended up Candler, as we didn't realize the road was closed.

Judging by the number of cars rammed into the rocks on the side of 276, I was the only one in town with snow tires.

 

[6thElement]

Looks like there's no one going anywhere in the mountains today:

Between which two dots is the toshi mobile?

Between which two dots is the toshi mobile?

Going south from Tabernash the road over Berthoud Pass is closed from avalanche yesterday, so he was going to go the long way with my expert pink line. But the interstate that goes east from Silverthorne and passes through a tunnel under the continental divide has been closed all day too. So hopefully he's just sitting at his mountain house safely.

Was just on the phone telling the powers that be why a road trip to Grand Junction isn't feasible right now. I mean, I guess we could, if we go over Wolf Creek and circle back around through Four Corners and Moab.

I'm sure Wolf Creek Pass is completely fine.

[canadmos]

I just whipped up the googles and was looking at the traffic.


Mt Evans is called Mt Blue Sky now?

Yes, renamed a few months ago. Formly named after a state governor who oversaw a massacre of natives.

Now it's a tribal related name.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Still no snow. But everything is shut down just in case.
When I was a kid living in PA in the 80s I had to stand on top of two feet of snow waiting for the school bus. The straps on my backpack would freeze. Now, living in NC, if it might snow in the mountains then everything in the flats has to be canceled.

Toshi report: holed up at a friend's house in Silverthorne.

I managed to make it to Silverthorne and am warming up at a friend’s house. But I’m stuck here now as conditions are really quite bad to the point that 9 to 285 isn’t feasible, and all other routes are closed.

A taste

Us southerners don’t know what snow tires are.

Near as I can tell it's literally the only pass over the mountains that's open right now. It does however, look like total dog shit.

Aren't you working for an airline? Don't you need to go to fix a plane? If yes, I would assume there are airports on both ends, no? So may I suggest the obvious: take a plane.
