Creep, you need to get a job up here and build spec houses.
They will sell for $300-500K and you won't be dinking around with small returns....
You're always saying how much you hate Cali, you got real outdoors here without the crowds...... :nod:
Plus you get an NBA team that will be in playoffs every year and people like them, a lot.

No good burritos though............ :nyrexall:

Will Calhoun sent me a Thank You holiday card, thanking me for a purchase I made of a 100 dollar drum head I ended up putting in a shadowbox on the wall. That was like 10 months ago. Who the fuck does that?

One of the best Dave interviews I've seen, he says some really cool and profound things along the way and is so loose and happy it seems, great stuff

The Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat and the pastor at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, defeated Senator Kelly Loeffler, a Republican, to become the first Black senator in Georgia history and the first Black Democrat to be elected to the Senate in the South.


Has to make Abrams feel good after what Kemp did to her (Georgia)..... :nod:

I hate goddamned leaf blowers. It's the lazy man's broom, haha. My neighbor uses one every day to blow off his driveway at about 7am like clockwork, the dirt and dust inevitably settling on my cars.

Good news, kv! :aoa:
I don't know when my mother can get one. She still lives in her house, not in a long-term care home. The vaccine roll out here could be much better.

As of yesterday I have lost 81 pounds.

Decades of depression has been a motherfucker, but this time spent sheltering has been good for me.

I'm still 19 pounds away from my goal weight. The finish line is in sight now though :rockon:

Congrats Crater! :rockon:

I have no idea what it's like to watch my weight...
Well I am damn skinny and have eaten like a horse since I was a kid but never gained weight, same with my uncles.
What I really have to watch is my cholesterol, meaning limiting my favorite food, Ice Cream.... :sad:

What a great day yesterday! :rockon:

It was a crisp, clear and cold day, odd for late March, and it had just snowed in the mountains, so I took a trip to snowshoe partway up Hood. It just took 2-3 hours to get up the mountain from the highway, and then about 30 minutes to get down... :hehe:
I've only done snowshoe a couple times, but man, I think I am hooked! This COVID time and less work has really got me out and about this last year on my boots and kayak as well... it's been awesome.

Here's some photos:

:cool:

thanks. :tiphat: I thought they turned out phenomenol as well, and really represented the experience so I wanted to share. :wave:

Its really a trip to try something brand new with no expectations and see where it takes you. I got some snowshoes at a secondhand store for $30 and used my ski poles (haven't been skiing in over a decade - too expensive for the experience....and waaaaay to many people ) and just found a known trail that I suspected would garner good views. I kept going and going and going up till It didn't seem prudent to go any further. I actually got up to the exposed rock escarpment ridge, under cloud cover, 3/4 the way up the 2nd photo. Made sure I took basic precautions, checked weather forecast, had rope and ice axe, never travelled under/near sketchy cornices, made sure if I were to fall off the ridge that I would generally slide hundreds of feet into a heap at the bottom of a gully that I could hike out of, let somebody know where I was going and kept track of time. Only thing I forgot was sunscreen. Now my face is completely cheeto orange with a pasty white stripe across my forehead where my bandana headband was.... :lol:

Third time trying snowshoeing...what a rush.....

Waiting for people, promotions, money, approval, appropriateness, or inspirational feelings is a waste of time. We all have our own dramas we are dealing with.....no sense in having someone else's drama dictate your life. Whenever you can, get some gumption, take some basic precautions and just go!
Whatever it is you've been day dreaming about...
