Fucking jam-packed. Glacier is moving to a reservation-only system for the first time ever. Yellowstone was down a tiny amount in 2020 from its record-setting 2019. The parks are not not crowded...

Awesome...thanks. The number of cheap townhouses available right next to Green Mountain is wild.

That makes zero sense, come on. At least burn them in your Solo(TM) stove on the patio.

Danno = fucked.

What area should we stay in for a week in late March (AirBnb/condo, not camping)? We will have at least two kids, 6 and 8, and the 8-year-old is a pretty solid rider, limited mainly by long climbs....

Thanks, just sent you a PM.

He's looking at his sweet new tires, duh.

chance that the original post in this thread is sexist af: 150%.

[takes huge bong rip]

That's cool, I am sure day tickets will be reduced proportionally by whatever the tram add-on will cost, right? RIGHT?

Theoretically there is food safe epoxy but I still wouldn't use it on a cutting board. I would just convert that thing to a charcuterie board and start over with a new cutting board.

We are just doing the design phase for now but I am concerned interest rates are going to go way up so we are stockpiling cash. We won't tear off the roof until next winter.

I am pulling max cash out of a refi to start a major remodel, gettin quoted 3.625, which is quite a bit higher than I expected. Should I keep shopping or is this just the premium for a cash out?

The owner of American Expedition Vehicles (we drive by his place every day) and its design headquarters are both in Missoula, so I am going to win this thread handily.

I would do this straight from the office but the 5 and 7 year olds put a real cramp on it.

Wow. I'm sure it was a hell of a bargain 30 days ago!

I'd be 100% down with growing some sick horns.

Am I the only person who has absolutely zero interest in working from home? I guess it doesn't hurt that my commute is 2 miles on one road and takes about 4 minutes by car (10 by bike), and that I...

[fires up the popcorn]

I keep thinking this. PL Premium (polyurethane) is some INSANE shit, and if you've ever tried to remove a piece of wood glued to concrete with it, the most likely outcome is that you will pull out a...

That lady ain't got no legs.

Only if you refer to it as "the persuader."

The next size up is "the commander."

Rebuilt fork/shock with custom tune from Diaz being delivered today. Fucking stoked! I have been riding my wife's tiny bike with kids for three weeks and I am ready to be done with that shit!

1 full, 1 3/4, 1 1/2, and an open-plan outhouse.

I think lots of places are holding J&J for this population, which includes homeless, undocumented, etc. And it makes perfect sense.

I have a Tsi3 fairway wood that is by far my favorite club.

^^ Agreed. Unless he's midget-like, he probably should get a 26 or even a 27.5.

The same people who refuse to get vaccinated will refuse to get tested, especially if they are asymptomatic.

I don't disagree with any of this but this is not what the question was. It was whether it would increase the value immediately. And my response was going to that question. Sure, if you have the lot...

But not if the price of the home increases proportionally to the value of the potential income. In other words, if you have a 200k house and build a 100k adu, and now your house is worth 300k, it's a...

If someone's only asset is a $15 million yacht that they never plan to sell, should the $15mm value of the yacht be considered when calculating wealth?

WTF.

"This Pew classification means that the category of middle-income is made up of people making somewhere between $40,500 and $122,000 [note: per household, not per person].

Those making less than...

I am veeeeery curious what you do in MSO. Does your job have anything to do with these issues, or is this just an area you think about a lot?

FWIW, I almost always agree with you.

This is the crux of it.

The old widow who had the property bought up around her and developed to its "highest and best use" whose property is now worth 10x what it would be otherwise did not lose,...

Fourth on the timesaver advice.

Well goddamn this thing has taken a turn.

That's a real shame.

I used to work for a design/build firm where the owner/GC was a real deal architect and if he ever came to the jobsite and put his bags on, all the "real" carpenters would threaten to leave for the...

I am not opining on the smoke problems in Teton Valley, but if you have never lived in a place that gets incredibly socked in with smoke for WEEKS on end (like in Missoula) then maybe just pipe down....

Viva needs some old-fashioned hand planes. A #7 for jointing and a #4 for cleaning up the glued-up panel.

How are you jointing the edges before the glue up?

I was thinking the same thing.

Well, now we aren't even talking about local taxes anymore, we are talking about more systemic problems.

I still don't think someone who bought a house for 80k in 1976 should be paying taxes on...

So that guy had stopped paying taxes years and years ago, in the most desirable part of one of the west's most booming cities?

Again, I get that all of this is complicated.

I have extremely mixed feelings about all of this but are you calling people with a $3.7 mil house middle class?

"In a hole" is precisely the way to describe it.

Missoula is now at just under 50% of eligible residents with their first shot. Pretty good, and I suspect this seriously underestimates because lots of people (like mrs. rootskier and I, along with a...

It is if you can 1000mg distillate tankers for $30.

Plus they are fucking hideous and still almost $200? Just no. The Rev needs a NICE shoe, because the stormtrooper dick jokes hit way harder coming from a well-dressed man.

Just fucking get these:...

I don't think it was that the amount was all over the place, it was just that people had no idea. So someone might get a package of 10, 10mg edibles, eat one, find it delicious, decide they weren't...

These? Are you guys fucking kidding?
