Snow RR: More Off-Topic [censored]

Paladin said:

Well, we've got about 8 inches in the foothills, and my buddy's bike is
in the shop. What's with having only 1 mountainbike, anyway??

But, we did a huge run up there, cutting through virgin snow, and
thanks to yours truly screwing up the directions, I added about 3 miles
to an already tough 6mi course.

Obligatory Bike content: Saw one set of bike tracks up high, which
must have been a blast...

Beer's in the frige, steaks on the cast iron, and I'm bushed. For
Geedub, Jimbosan, le Freak and all my good friends who appreciate a
good dark Deschutes, I salute you and wish you a Merry Christmas!

You may return to your regularly scheduled programming now.

You need a Pugsley. Eight inches is about the max those things can
handle, I don't know how you used regular wheels in that.

On another note... I watched a few guys on snow bikes at Keystone (they
rent them). Now that looks like a screaming good time. But, there's no
brakes.

We used our legs. I'm kinda into this running mode right now, or as we
call it, The Ole Man Shuffle. The main trails had enough traffic to be
runnable, but my screw up had us going cross country in deeper snow,
that flat wore me out. The views from up high on a sunny day, though,
were well, not too shabby.

hill........

You're gonna [censored] your wife. Didn't you already buy a house in
Ridgeway?

You have nothing to lose by sending resumes to any part of the country.
You never know what opportunity might come along. I wouldn't mind
having you as a neighbor, either.

No way if she can stop working. Yes we bought a house but we can always
sell it or keep paying on it and being slumlords...................

except that there are very few places I would move to regardless of the job
or pay. Denver is just a colder version of Phoenix albeit a little greener.
Then again I can't remember the last time Sky Harbor was closed for 3 days
due to snow!

I'll put you in touch with my slumlord. He could teach you. I'm
waiting for the lawsuits to start from the three inches of ice on the
door step. The gut did not even make an attempt to shovel the walks.
If I didn't go buy a shovel and cut a path to the alley, I would be
walking through a snow drift every day.

Then there's the washing machine without a spin cycle. It took two
hours to dry my clothes.

Man I hate apartment living, but I don't want the house to be finished
until the old one is sold.

Not as crowded here and the crime rate is much lower. You guys have an
exploding problem out there both crime and population (Las Vegas just
took second for the first time in 13 years to the new first place growth
area, PHX)

As for the airport, does it really matter? If you were taking a United
flight you would of had to go through Denver. Besides at least the car
rental places in DIA aren't in another city. What they did with the
whole rental thing at SH is a shame.

Give me the word and I'll have my real estate agent call you. 😉
