I'd be game for one of these at a similar price/condition down the road. But I lack the garage space and it's way lower on the list of priorities than basically anything else.

- current kid area getting better lifts (Discovery going from a slow 2 person to a quad, Endeavor from a fixed triple to a detachable quad)
- entirely new beginner and intermediate areas, which is something that Winter Park needs for balance/new skiers, honestly
- T-bar to the Cirque!
- old-ass Mary Jane mid-mountain lifts replaced by a 6 pack with mid station, really opening up access there
Not sure if the gondola from the village would help me much, but if it helps parking overall then I'm all for it. Also will give it a bit more of a Breck feel in the town itself, maybe.
The collector sports car market is, of course, zany currently. Grab a 996-gen while you can.
(Wouldn't that 1998 be a 993?)
Ya, 993. 996 was a mistake. Both there in the post and in general, for Porsche.
996 Turbos (thus with the Mezger) are the only ones immune from IMS woes, and they’re just so… egg-like.
50% chance I end up with an EV minivan to replace my 100 series. 40% chance I end up with a 3 row BEV SUV, like a EV9 or Explorer EV. 10% chance that I end up with a 3rd, small car: Aptera, Miata, another Leaf, an imiev?! or i3 or something stupid.
That leaves 0% chance for getting a Porsche.

Headed up to the mountain house today for some delayed errands. Drive remains pretty, but the snow is disappearing. (Mary Jane is still open!)
My much-massaged boots now have 100% more GripWalk sole plate action. Getting the ground-down old screws and plates off was non-trivial.
After a rescheduling due to their own labor shortage, Overhead Door made it out a few weeks ago to put in a new opener on the garage side that we don't use (as it's quite tight to the wall and shelves). Recall that both openers were Wayne Dalton i-Drive units, apparently not made for 15 years or so. They were able to put in a new, normal overhead belt drive unit. My contribution to the effort, in addition to paying their bill ($830 including parts, labor, and the inherent trip charge out to Grand County) was to secure a 10' extension cord to the ceiling, as the old outlet was by the door proper due to the weird design of the i-Drives.
Oh, and as for the true underlying reason why I went up: the construction dumpster is finally gone! I was going to install a WiFi camera so that I could peer on the dumpster in the driveway but it turns out that wasn't necessary as the contractor finally came through, just a few months late.
So now we can be 100% live on the listing(s). I'm not sure what exactly was live before as we have bookings for 7 and 4 days in July already through Vacasa. I hope it rents out for Memorial Day weekend as we can't go up anyway (as I'm working 4-10 PM Friday, 5-10 PM Saturday, 7 AM-5 PM Sunday).
70% of anything is better than 100% of nothing, so as the date grows closer I hope their dynamic pricing and stay length algorithms do their thing and get it filled up.
Rent my house!

At least the swallow bugs are gone. Or were gone.swallow mites - Bing

This is the swallows themselves once again. The snow plow dude stopped by and said he saw no nests but that there might be gaps at the edge of the metal flashing behind which birds might be hiding. Metal flashing dude will stop by on Saturday.
Get some eave vipers
I have a nephew who is a professional falconer.

No, he is real, and one of your countrymen.
Bird Gard Speakers: Bird Gard Pro 1 (110 Volt) – Bird Barrier
Use Bird-Gard Pro #1 to repel pigeons, starlings, sparrows and seagulls. A programmable electronic repeller that uses a variety of species specific distress signals and predator calls to send a "danger" alert to other birds in the area. All units have on-off and volume control, a "time-off"...

I can't speak to its efficacy, but couldn't hurt...
A finance two-fer: Above, Mint with perhaps the least helpful graph possible. No y-axis units at all, and nothing when you click or hover over the dots, either (except labeling the "today" dot--thanks).
And above, a helpful reminder that I have a lot of debt. Hmph. Attn @Pesqueeb and other mortgage-less people. (That said, I'm solidly net positive thanks to two houses on the balance sheet to offset this + sundry retirement savings.)
It wasn't a fluke--last assessment of the year for the middle child. My babies are big-brained little girls.
Exactly as expected not Ipads. God help these kids.
Swallow-house update: My snow plow dude has been by a few times in the last week. He reported seeing a few birds but no evidence that they're building nests on the metal-clad eaves. He even bust out a long ladder and took a peek.
The guy whose outfit did last year's swallow remediation is coming out this upcoming weekend to look it over himself. He was to come out this past weekend but late snows have hit the high country pretty solidly.

Smart parents raise smart kids. I mean, my folks aside.
I'm sure I'm just crazy or paranoid, but, from this post I can figure out where your kid goes to school, easily find the school hours and address, know in who's class she sits, etc. Do you ever worry about oversharing when it comes to the kids? I know the
isn't like social media but it's still floating info out into public.
Her school name isn't a secret. I'm not concerned with those data being public.
I'm more concerned with you all not appreciating my darling baby girls
Kids are like farts, you can only truly appreciate your own.
