What happened to this place? It’s really become so tediously boring.

Seriously y’all are boring as fuck-all these days. Bring back Hugh and Bunny.
maybe you should consider joining Benny over at the New York State ski blog… nothing but nonstop excitement over there.

I blame it on too many boring articles in "Powder" now a days, most recent ridiculous "article"/"opinion piece" was Ian complaining about why he doesn't like skiing in the trees.Quote:

Nobody’s doing blow these days, and who can blame us, fucking Mexicans putting fenty in blow is brutal. No more face drugs for this guy. So I guess that’s annoying. I still have a good psychedelic hookup, but yeah. Tripping is like a once or twice a year deal these days.
Ranjan from Eddie Bauer customer support is annoying me.
Ask Ranjan how the weather is in New Delhi, most likely cloudy with particulate pollution and a AQI of 500.Quote:

I had a GF who watched Dr. Strangelove on my advice. She thought it was depressing--didn't realize it was a comedy. We didn't last. (Not because of that; she was out of my league.)Quote:

At least an hour of that is me saying the SFW version of "are you fucking kidding me?!?!?" I probably have 2-4 hours of work left. I can't believe this is how we generate numbers so the customer will pay us. Every fucking month. This is not what I had in mind when I was growing up.
Have you considered subcontracting your billing report spreadsheet work to Ranjan?Quote:

It was those guys and a few of them were wasted on speed, which combined really well with the resin fumes and the dust from sanding. Permanent damage.Quote:

Yeah I've got a steep drive with sharp turn to get to the top but I've hauled a goose neck 5th wheeler up here as well as had a cement pumper come up the drive and manage to get turned around and back down. Propane truck and UPS can make it up here too but FedEx? Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
This morning I found a package that contains a dresser for my Mom's new room at the memory care facility left along the road in the freshly irrigated grass. They didn't even bother to come up to the house and knock on the door to let me know they were leaving it there. I can't see the end of the drive from the house (trees block view - it's not THAT far) so I was lucky I happen to be walking down there for something else.
Dante has a place for FedEx.Quote:

Think about where you would stash it today if putting away for season, and look there!
I found it. Not where I would stash it for the season. If it had teeth it would have bitten me.
Chuck roast at 143 after two hours. Stuck the probe in it anyway for the covered portion of the journey. I want to get used to it. And it's cool seeing the grill temp. Hopefully I'll be able to find it next time I smoke something. It's pretty cool.
When my wife loses stuff and I start looking she's like "I would never put it there." I'm like "did you look everywhere you might have put it?" She's like "Yes." I'm like "then it must be someplace you wouldn't put it, right?"
Exactly.Quote:
