He jumps out next in front of a group of four and rides alone. I yell out "booo to the single chair rider!" The lifties laugh at me and everyone else looks at me like I'm the crazy one?

I can't even stand this garbage on a busy beginner lift with my kids. Pow day? Lift ops should be ashamed.

Hey bro, if you want aggro lift line ethics, you gotta head up LCC. This is the kinder gentler resort up north where we put our boots by the fireplace upstairs while we take a poop downstairs.

This fucking weather is annoying me. As with most places, it's been a shit ski season so far. Minimal snow, skiing on rocks and stumps, etc. Then last weekend, winter finally arrived - a few good days of snowfall, and some great pow skiing (albeit pow skiing on top of a minimal base. But I can deal with core shots). Now it's -55° on the mountain, everything is shut down, and it doesn't look like lifts will turn again until Sunday at the earliest.

The snowblower lives! 2 days of penetrating oil and motor oil in the cylinder and then I used a breaker bar to turn the crank arm. After 3 minutes of brute force with the breaker bar it suddenly popped free. I sprayed some starter fluid into the cylinder, put a new spark plug in and it started on the first pull! I cleared my driveway off before it could reconsider if it wanted to run or not

Excellent! Maybe time for an oil change and then keep on cranking!

I basically ignored that email and started looking for alternative flights. Booked American, (only a few seats left, and 6 hours earlier), then got the email much later that of course there’s no other flights on Alaska anyway. All of this cost us about 800 bucks. (For just the outbound.)
That fucking Max is a giant fuckshow.

My autocorrect started correcting “we’ll” to well. Holy shit that’s irritating. I went and found the goddamn apostrophe on purpose goddamnit.

Due to popular demand we now have a thread for that. https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...ft-line-thread

These people understand that's no more of a faceshot than standing in front of a snowblower right?

And these skiers probably make fun of snowboarders.
Such an odd trend. What fun is that?

Mine does that, too. It acts like there's not a word "we'll."

The auto correct on my phone has been full retard for a while now.

It randomly corrects common words like "on" to "in" or "that" to "than" which are similar enough you don't always notice. But the sentence suddenly makes no sense.

But then it will fail to correct other words that are obviously wrong yet close enough that the correction should be obvious.

I spend more time correcting auto corrects than I do typing the message itself.

I think the AI is just ducking with us at this point.

Power outages
when it’s unusually cold out
generator is loud as fuck
it costs something like $100/day if we run it continuously

lucky to have the generator, but i wish we had a below-grade power grid like a modern city, and a power company that didn’t prioritize seemingly everywhere else but our neighborhood when this happens

annoyed

The lifestyle of living off a generator on a temporary basis is a huge PITA. Over 600 hrs on ours over the past 8 years.

Would love to have buried power lines in my area.

I'm headed towards solar with a battery backup. The fridge and some heat are my only two needs short term. Haven't looked into size requirements and of course when in use and the sun is out that will add to available hours.

How much will that cost

Check out Lithium Iron (not ion) Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries like Battleborn and a dual input battery charger, along with a decent inverter. If there’s no sun, you can charge batteries and power key items like boilers and refrigerator, etc with a vehicle. I was very surprised how little gas I burned idling my truck for 15 minutes intermittently over our last outage, Christmas 2021 for a day and a half.

I’ve since run a cable from battery/alternator to the bed of the truck and set up a power center for house, tail gating, camping, etc.

These bullshit Insta-faceshots are the equivalent of the mtb “earth based kickouts” (props to Kidwoo). They all fucking suck.
Just turn your skis or bike and if you’re going fast enough and know how to turn and the snow is deep enough or the dirt good enough, cool things will happen.

I mean, skiers have been doing this forever in front of cameras.

This annoys me. Apparently Ms. Swift is the new face of the KC Chiefs.

Kinda. There’s a difference between getting light then diving in deep for the Lee Cohen turn in front of the camera and the shitty piv-skid artificial faceshot that every Jerry can conjure up with rockered skis now.
See: Most of Alta’s marketing squad videos for the last 5 years.

I guess as long as people are having fun skiing and not stopping in dangerous spots for this stuff then I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal, but this isn’t the “things that are logically bad” thread

yeah, naw... it's highly annoying.

Then move to a modern city JONG. Your hundo won't last a minute.

Houses with complicated roof lines in snow country annoy me. Also houses with simple roof lines that shed or drip on the deck, entrance, driveway, etc etc. Fortunately I don't live in one. It's pretty simple---nice single gable roof without dormers, ells, etc, shedding to the sides (preferrably on the neighbors) with gables, diriveway, entries facing the street, and any side entries under roof overhang. Any architect or builder who can't put an nice house under that should turn in their drafting pencil. (They still design houses with drafting pencils, don't they?)

Some exceptions to that are if you are also trying to place solar on the roof. That will complicate things, however, yes, a competent architect should be able to git er dun.

Damn. I was always worried that would happen to my chimney sweeper when cleaning out my stovepipe.

I annoy myself... Wanted to put the bucket and loader back on the tractor to make a snow hill for the kids and forgot to disengage the pto from the snowblower before I went to drop it. At least I should have the new part in and installed before the next round of snow as long as I don't fuck something else up.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...02f32b773e.jpg

Anyone notice else seeing all thread tittles in all-caps? Annoying, I'm going to write a letter to the management!

ice dams on the roof
and whiney demanding middle aged snowboard douche customers
are top of my list lately

In the case of the monster of roof lines I'm dealing with, I doubt an architect has been involved. I'm still annoyed by it.

The original house was built in the 18th century, the L (directly ahead in the photo) got added on the back at some point, and the sun room (to the left) also was a more recent addition that had a flat roof until it failed; the repair features a roof that visually matches the original roof on the oldest part of the house, but as a result dumps snow into the corner pictured and the almost-flat porch roof attached to the L. I think I wish they'd gone with a shed roof on the sun room repair that would've dumped to the front and created the potential for a loft space, but that wasn't my call.
