You posted in another thread awhile ago an eye opening map of all water pipelines throughout the state - or maybe only to the wastach front - can you post that again? I can't find it on google.

For others outside Utah - In July we used 24000 gallons. Bill was $80. It's much cheaper for businesses, they have a different rate. I've said this sotry before but my company building was losing a...

Nice work! Mirrors suck, put up a ski picture instead, ha.

I always skip Red Coat because it sucks, or has it been improved on in the last 5 or 7+ years? I remember it as very flat with turns that don't match the speed you get up to.

So if you have rights to pump from a canal in Utah, this is considered secondary water here? And some (or a lot?) houses have pipes from these canals that their irrigation is tied to? Sorry for you...

maybe you missed the post where I said I use about 35000 gallons in the summer months for irrigation? And before you pitchfork me, yes I am cutting back on watering, ripping out grass, creating...

Ha, sounds crazy now.

If everyone uses less here, we all won't die from the toxic wind storms blowing across the soon-to-be dried up Great Salt Lake. But yes, good point on infrastructure costs vs water costs for sure.

I think dantheman first recommended this place, but I'm frustrated they are not open for lunch because I work in this neighborhood. Tgapp, big tortas closed so I can't get your pineapple/lamb? totra...

This gorgeous power couple owns and farms more land in CA than anyone, and grows almonds among other things. A great fucking article, but quite long. I reluctantly quit almonds after...

Thanks KQ!



Great article, thank you. I'm imagining a ton of ranchers/farmers have the 'use it or lose it' but have much less to use than their allotment and therefore know much more than us as...

farmers don't blow through red lights, run stop signs, go to a crosswalk and press the walk signal to become pedestrians then ride across on bikes, and they stay as far right as possible and don't...

I don't fully grasp water rights, but I think they have no choice, their water is getting cut back drastically where not everyone can get their allotment. And many ARE agreeing to change their ways...

It may give everyone a good feeling to cut back on in-home water use and not wash their car much, but IMO we need to wrangle in bigger usage personally, which is still a tiny bit compared to large...

Also ski balls - your link is about tier 1 cutbacks. That’s old news we are now dealing with their 2 cutbacks.

from what I understand from people who follow this saga, this cut for AZ was agreed upon by AZ in 2007, and then the agreement was modified in 2019. So this is no surprise to anyone managing water in...

I’ve thought about starting this type of thread for a long time, so thanks for pulling the trigger.

Stop signs are for yielding in Idaho stops - if it’s free and clear. If not, it’s a stop sign and the biker blew through a stop sign and almost hit Grizz. No one should have to worry about being...

I’m really curious about what they ordered from Backcountry to get that goat sticker in pic number 9. Also their fridge magnet collection and many wall decorations are worth stealing

Newest acquisition for precise measurements in the shop. Most numbers on the american side are worn down and hard to see. And the ruler measurements start 3/16 from the end of the ruler, so...

That's some good showmanship.



Of course you do.



That's great. I was debating running wood the length of the table as a fence, or just using the Bosch miter fence and routing in...

Got a nice Bosch miter saw yesterday, currently building a miter table for it. The table is not worthy of the saw, but I'm learning.

They are closed this week. I went to drop off a shock and a note on the window said they are on vacation. There were people in the building though but the door was locked, maybe it's working vacation?

I feel ya. My wife and kids are out of town for a week starting yesterday and I planned on building shit uninterrupted while they were gone. Tools to do this were to arrive Tuesday. They never came...

The whole point of this thread was to make fun of people who don't take down their gotos gear like shovels, condiments, and SUP boards, looks like these guys did. So it must be Tap driving that van....

what’s his story? Does he switch legs? Could you tell he was a bit off?

The craftsmanship and care that goes into bespoke handmade European pallets is worth every import euro

always impressed how it turns out every year despite the setbacks and worries. Thanks to my wife for making it all happen again

Go out there, bring some red paint, scatter it everywhere along with some whole food reusable bags and maybe a baguette or essential oil bottles and some ripped all bird shoes.

Were you a top or a bottom?

Thanks all SLC peeps for the tomato info - good to know we are all in the same boat. Except SFB, can someone DM me his addy so I can steal some fresh tomatoes?

A ton of raspberries have come, lots...

That may be the highest point score ever.

Anyone sprinkle some Metamucil on that Taco Bell breakfast?

Mary knows her shit, and IMO definitely read the comments.

Would he be able to see a better deal if there was one?

I was at Harbor Freight getting harbor freight things (magnetic bowl for $1.50? Why not...) and noticed this 10" Knipex Cobra Pliers knock off, which I own a smaller Knipex version and really like....

Huh, how do you know all that? Impressive. And thanks for the info.

When do you SLC-ers plant tomatoes (and from seed? foot-high store bought? maybe 6" high) and when do you get ripe tomatoes usually?

For example, we plant seeds in mid-may and last year got tons...

This is the idiot advice thread, not the expert advice thread.

You should make a video about how you dislike them.

Jesus, that is depressing and annoying, Summer.

What about the Yakima exo system, which would get the cargo off the roof and onto the bike hitch?

Welcome, you will soon be added to iceman's pedantic list with me. As for trust fund lists - benny absolutely had a trust fund list in his head, I'd bet money on it, ha.

Wife is ditching the VW Atlas after years of feeling 'meh' about it and also two recent off road sagas in Bears Ears with it. It's a piece of shit off road basically, before I thought it was good...

agoraphobia? my uncle had that.

I thought we were all on the same page here as skiers - we like mountains no matter how far we live away from them and we miss them when we are not near them. But yes - I should shut up more.


...

being psyched on your new life is great and a good way to live in the present. Saying there is nothing to miss about Montana means you never shoulda been there or you are on an insecure ego trip....

This is most likely the answer to most driver weirdness but I always take simple driving mistakes as intentional personal insults. Until I pull even with the perp and see the vacant expression in...

He wants to control the neighborhood or he is flirting with you

shoulda never moved to Montana then. It’s a special place, to say you don’t miss it all is very telling. (I grew up in WI and lived in MT too)

Old white men giving me the hand signal up/down to slow down. Buddy, if people all went only 5mph over the speed limit like I do - it would be much safer.

I waved to both of the guys who have done...
