They did get us a new plane quickly and we finally escaped SLC.
We’ll let things settle, enjoy what’s left of the trip and fire up ChatGPT for some emails/letters later. The gate agent promised they would give us a bunch of miles but then again, every other thing he said turned out to be a lie.
It's Sunday evening. That's when most blue-collar workers end their short weekend and try to get a few chores done before going to work tomorrow. You could always move back to the land of entitlement; it's only gotten worse. I'll take mowing on a Sunday evening over leaf blowers and lawn crews at 6am any day of the week. Choose your battles.Quote:

Everyone else is chill. Being loud when everyone else is winding down for the day/week is just one of the shitty things they do.
Yikes, what times are we talking? If its dark out, its quiet hours but other that that maybe courtesy get you another hour? So 7am to 9pm is probably fair game.
I don't doubt that your Whisky Tango neighbors generally sucks but don't go down the rabbit hole of because of this you give them no rope. I'm sure their is an HOA somewhere looking for a board member. Or move out to the sticks.
Eh, im an early riser, but i still think 8am is the earliest you should start loud work on a weekend, and 9am would be more neighborly. And i also think loud work should stop 1 hour before sunset on the weekends (certain exceptions apply). Ensuring you are on good terms with neighbors is invaluable, and something to prioritize.Quote:

Way back in my young and dumb days, I was rehabbing a trailer rental in a mobile home park. I was getting a little obsessive w getting it done and had a power saw going inside at 1am. They neighbors kindly asked me to turn that fucking thing off. I was completely oblivious to how much noise I was making [emoji23]
Now that I'm a responsible old fart, I always use ear plugs so I have no idea how much noise I'm making. I've always thought that about 10:00 a.m. to sundown is okay on weekends.Quote:

Heh, Why Men Are ‘Rawdogging’ Flights: no entertainment, no headphones, just watching the flight map for 8+ hours (bonus points if you don't pee or eat).
“I've got DMs on Instagram like, ‘Bro, you need to teach us how to bareback flights,’” says a pioneer of the swashbuckling trend.
The concept—referred to in a vivid and perhaps unfortunate parlance as “rawdogging,” “flying raw,” and “bareback”—resonated with many in the comments on West's TikTok page, @WestWasHere. “Yup, from London to Miami this week…pure bareback no food or water,” one wrote. “I swear barebacking flights make it go quicker,” another added.
A true rawdogger takes no indulgences.

People saving camp sites for many days in a row with a cheap tent and not actually camping. Range Rover using a campsite as a parking spot preventing actual campers. Shit like that annoys me.
The cheap tent is easy to deal with. Just move it somewhere else. It's easy to tell when somebody is gear squatting.
Run it over, burn it, throw it in the creek!
Closing to town popular camping has pretty much been ruined around here. Everyone has some type of RV so all the parking spots are their camps now. If its got 5g, the laptop bros are working remote. Ballers have Starlink. The underhoused are full time in the woods.
Luckily there are plenty of options, you just won't be able to go out for breakfast.
Weird, I've been rawdogging flights for years, never knew it was a thing.Quote:

Meanwhile, the tray the boxed water sits on is plastic, the seats are all plastic, the overhead luggage compartments are plastic, the walls are plastic, the lavatory is plastic, probably eighty percent of the damn plane is plastic. Plastic is quite likely the most beneficial invention of the 20th century, it's so light and so strong that we are able to build lighter planes and hence save untold millions of gallons of jet fuel every year. But there I sit on said plastic plane, drinking water out of a box that tastes like wet paper, and it was truly fucking gross. Back to rawdogging for me. :)
Yeah, but not day one, when you are actually looking for the spot. I would hate to fuck up an actual camper who lives and maybe even works locally. But chances are it is just some douchbag saving a site for the 4th.Quote:

Meadow Creek is the Wall Mart camp chair camp save capital of Grand County. The low bro White Claw scene is next level.
Vasquez is closed to camping because there were literal shit piles down by the creek.
There are felons with warrants living up on the Water Board Road.
But as a community we only kinda sorta care because when something seems difficult the twig pigs and doo gooders take on easier objectives where they have more flex.
The close in Forest is a mess.
Buddy just had his 5-gallon propane tank, brand new hatchet, and rocker camp chairs ripped off from his site while out floating and fishing. Fucking people suck.
This heat is literally making me angry.
Yup. Was just up in the sierras for a week with generally decent temps, came home to a heat wave and have tons of things on my to-do list but don't want to even go outside.
Not sure how people do it. I grew up in the south, so I am familiar with high temp and high humidity. This last week we were on vacation. Felt like we were melting, so fucking hot. Looked at the phone and it was 85ºF. haha. My dog was looking at us on a short hike like WTF!?!? He wanted to turn around. Guess we will be living at 9500' the rest of our lives.
A twig pig down on the San Juan told me that while recently patrolling a popular dispersed area, every “camper” they contacted had priors or warrants.Quote:
