Ooof... This reminds me, better go get the woman-child resized for skis. The Season™ approach'th."I want to ski now!"
Listed the Mantras for $300 on Facebook Marketplace
Got 3 interested parties. Dude picking them up tonight.
Hey @stoney you want to buy Jessica's skis for Sarah?
2018-2019 Blizzard Black Pearl 98. 153 cm. DPS Phantom on the bases. Bindings on demo plates.
Thinking $400. If you pass I'll toss them up on Facebook. She prefers her 80 mm underfoot Atomic carving skis and doesn't feel the need to venture past the front side of the mountain.

is that a requirement by your development? Lighten your load and plant some variety local perennials in place of that. Our grass shrinks every year using this method. It takes exactly 4 minutes to mow with a mechanical mower.
The HOA mandates some level of maintenance. Not sure where the line is.
But I like having it look lush.
In other news it got cold all of a sudden! Will be a chilly ride in tomorrow morning for my 8-5 in-hospital shift on the beastly e-bike.
I drained the outer part of the sprinklers (no blowout system), turned off the controller, and disconnected the hoses. Time for the greenery to batten down for winter.
I wonder if any deck work is getting done amidst the snow (!) up in the mountains at the house. hmm

Easy $150k there if that C4S was $111.
My guess, $175k.
That gorgeous.
That gorgeous.
Context is that it snowed this much at Winter Park over a 24 hour period either ending today or yesterday morning:

Also got clarification re the deck railing, noting that it was clearly all pulled down with the demolition work in my pano photo from this Monday: "All the railing is labeled and ready to go back up once the decking is back on."

Colour me surprised TBH
Closing tentatively scheduled for 10/21 (on the Tabernash place). Acknowledged receipt of the final closing disclosure today and then they schedule 3 days out.
The terms changed a bit! for the better.
Was 1.000 point to get 2.375% fixed x 30 years. Unbeknownst to me that got lowered to 0.875 point for that same rate. Maybe this is because the appraisal came in nice and high thus at 69% LTV even rolling in the closing costs and with a bit of extra cash back to me at closing? Anyway, not complaining.
Other non-prepaids on the loan costs:
To go from 3.000% at conforming limit + a janky 6.51% variable rate HELOC for the balance to 2.375% fixed x 30 years for the whole amount is quite fabulous indeed, very much worth those fees IMO. APR works out to be 2.456% all said and done.
Illustration of "quite fabulous indeed" using my actual closing costs:

Yeah, I haven’t heard a peep from them, either.
I-70 overpass over Quebec St was redone, and the street underneath and new concrete multi use paths are similarly new.
Of course, they don’t actually connect to anything. That’d be too useful. They just end. Maybe a decade later when they redo the next bridge south on Quebec they’ll hook up to a real path.
I'm not sure she'll be heavy enough to drive an adult ski by next season. Plus we're looking at 135-140 this year. That's a huge jump in height assumption.
Must be taking cues from the city of Colorado Springs. Tons of bike trails, of which maybe 20% of might actually be useful for real commuting and/or eliminating vehicle use.
Thankfully the Sand Creek Greenway exists and (not coincidentally as I chose where to build) goes from my neighborhood right by the hospitals. It is legit useful.
For the record, the (rider) torque sensing (motor) power modulation on the Juiced behemoth feels much better in the 10-20 mph range at assist levels 1 and 2, as opposed to the S and R levels I was at before.
(again recall the options are off, levels 1, 2, 3, S, R in ascending assist order.)

Must be nice. I quit riding my bike to work a couple years back. Traffic in this town anymore is just dangerous for a bike commuter any more. A north/south bike lane or greenway on the east side of town could be a literal life saver.
add the Hyundai Ioniq 7 to another vehicle that'd meet my needs but is slated for 2024 so who knows when it'll actually be a reality on US soil

A somewhat sane price, because it's a non-perfect, 77k mile example.
I have friends in the old country who are Ferrari geeks. Theirs are new and still high maintenance.
Yeah, the breakdown of cost for their frequent routine services is absurd.
Routine Maintenance on a Ferrari Can Cost More Than Some New Cars
Ferrari has never claimed to be the most affordable automaker; however, even routine maintenance on a Ferrari will cost an arm and a leg.

Fuck that noise.
Another one for you to bid on, Nick
Black over black.
Black over black.
The black/black 993T is my dream car.
That said they're all selling too rich for my blood, and I believe people buying them up now are going to be sitting on them as investments, and I want a car to drive.
Damn, that looks good though.

Obv the 993 looks tops, but I always liked the 964 Celebration in voila. Not that I could have insured it, but I looked at buying one ~20 years ago.
Last week we were walking near our house, a ferrari rolled down the street and the engine shut off. It pulled over and we chatted for a bit while he waited for the tow truck.Yeah, the breakdown of cost for their frequent routine services is absurd.

First commute in on the beastly e-bike, that thing truly an e-moped. Quite acceptable. Note nice, high cruising speed much of the time (slowed down on campus for that last mile or so), and heart rate reflective that I am indeed doing some work.
I used the throttle for about 0.5 seconds moving away from a stop while in a high gear, but otherwise all pedal assist, mostly in assist level S (of 0-3, S, R).

That is because people don't actually buy Ferraris to drive, they are only for being seen in. I don't think I have ever seen one on a road that would be fun to drive, just sitting in traffic in fancy urban areas or prominently parked in front of a fancy hotel or restaurant by the valet.
Not sure if this is the case with all large tires? But all the ebikes that roll by my house with large tires the noise from the tires are unbearable.
