bought new snow tires last friday in Pagosa. get back to my house about an hour away and one is leaking. Flat every morning. Left skiing early yesterday to get the tire fixed. Shop says too busy. Come back today they open at nine. I show up at 8:45. One guy is waiting in line at the door. I sit in my truck and another guy gets in line. I figured better get out there and get in line. So I wait and BS with the other two guys. Three other people show up behind me and we walk in and line up. the first two guys go to the counter. Some guy walks in and tells me and the people waiting that he is going ahead of us. Said he was waiting in his vehicle since 8:30 and deserved to be ahead of us. I told him that was not happening. I get to the counter and the guy says 3 hrs until my turn. I said no way. Have them fill my tire so I could leave. Went skiing came home and changed out the tire. Sent the leaking one back to Pagosa with my friend. So still need one more trip over there to pick the tire up and get it put on.
I think somebody stole my boots from the ski swap!
I didn’t see them when I visited the swap this morning so I assumed they sold…but no, they didn’t sell and they were nowhere to be found at post-swap pickup.
Also the swap was overloaded with gear this year…never seen so much stuff. I price my stuff pretty aggressively because I’m just trying to get rid of it (and I don’t send useless old junk), but half my stuff didn’t sell. Usually everything sells and is gone by the time the line subsides and I like my head in.
That is annoying. If it helps any I'm skiing Monday and could grab your tire on my way through Pagosa. Of course I am assuming you live on the South Fork side of the pass. Either way I could at least get it to Wolf creek so you don't have to drive all the way down.Quote:

Over in baytucky I had one shop break a few studs on my car so I stopped going there. I started going to discount tires in dgo where I make an appt., but they let walk ups bump appt’s. And it’s always a shit show of people waiting for them to open like you said. If you go there in the summer, holy crap it’s tourons all day buying new tires for their wranglers to drive gravel roads on. Quite the scene.
I really should just get another set of rims so I can swap wheels at home. Or at least find a tire guy.
Yup. It only takes me about 40 minutes a car and that’s with proper torque etc. (and I don’t have an impact drill).Quote:

Getting new tires? Drop off the wheels and come back whenever. Get a flat - in summer or winter - throw on one of the others and drop off the damaged one to get repaired/replaced.
Got a cordless impact wrench last year. The swap is easier and takes way less time out of my life than having somebody else do it. I have to grunt around some heavy-ish wheels and tires but I figure that’s just some exercise.
Also, eighteen inch wheel/tire set is cheaper than just twenty-one inch tires for my wife’s vehicle.
Might want to come east for tires next time. No pass and at least 2 good shops/service in Alamosa. Hope it gets squared away.Quote:

I mean, it is a consideration for sticking w/ BMW‘s because I have the tires already, plus my rack fits them.
OK, back to stuff that annoys me:
our whole fucking healthcare system in this country .
Preach, brother. :mad:Quote:

I’m certain it’s going to get worse, not better. What I’m afraid of is just how much worse it could get.Quote:

fact.
Mrs. Plug spent the weekend with her old school chums, and one of the daughters of the group is going through a horrible healthcare situation with her boyfriend. The boyfriend’s family are all crazy MAGAS, but all of his health issues were taken care of by Obamacare. So I guess RFK jr. will keep it all?
We’re in the middle of a kitchen remodel and have been waiting for weeks for the floor guy to show up, along with some of the other trades who are waiting on him as well. I’m talking timelines with the general this morning and he said that the floor guy is coming today and should only take a few days and then everyone else can fall in line and start getting shit done.
He backed in his trailer at 10am, sat in his truck till 1130 and then unloaded his equipment and told me he was heading to lunch. Got back here at 130pm, and no shit, has been sitting in his truck ever since. It’s 3 fucking 30 and not one bit of progress. I’m at stage three pull my hair out frustration and the general just keeps telling me this guy is a genius at refinishing wood floors.
Throw him off the job. Have your GC get somebody else or find your own floor guy. If you get a bill for the floor guys last day on site tell your GC he needs to pay the bill. It's that easy.Quote:

USPS sends me an email every day showing the mail that I should be receiving, which is nice. And that mail, inevitably, does not arrive. They say to wait seven days before reporting it missing, and conveniently the email has a link to report missing mail. Except that link doesn't work if you wait more than seven days.
Of the mail I know is coming to me (i.e. not junk mail), 0% of it arrives within a week, regardless of where it's coming from. Around 20% of it never arrives at all. I'm approaching the point where I need to tell people to send letters to me via UPS / Fedex if they want me to actually get them.

Yeah, it's in a cluster at the end of our road. Mail's not getting stolen, it's just not getting delivered.Quote:

So now Missoula is just a black hole where mail goes to die.

Get on the same page.
And it's an assumption that there's another sub to be had. Specialized subs in the Teton area can be 6-12 months out.
Daughter got a mild concussion on Monday...stayed home Tue and back in school now. I've talked to the nurse and sent a note in per their request to ask for the teachers help limiting screen time.
Daughter emailing my wife that she's been on screens all morning.
I'm thinking about going in there and assaulting some teachers

We have a cluster box. Our mail gets delivered, just not to us. But we get other people's mail, so it breaks even. And if we tried to put misdeleivered mail in the outgoing mail slot it died , even if we labeled it as misdelivered. Turns out that the boxes weren't labeled on the inside. When the carrier opened the front of the box with all the individual label little doors, they were looking at a bunch of unlabeled cubbies that they had to load by memory. The new carrier labeled the boxes, hopefully that will help.Quote:
