With a local contractor and only one lumber yard in town, when I ordered something for an addition they asked who the contractor was and they told me they loved him. I suppose one could find out...

Snow flurries in Truckee at the moment. There is now officially more snow here this June than there was in January. 6 flakes is more than 0.

I thought that was a typo, not a wrong question. I would have given it to him.

4 strong lines vs McDavid and Draisaitl together and then pray the next 3 shifts. Who could have predicted it.

To bring this thread around to its original purpose, the drunk meltdown was at LaGuardia.

I drove manuals only for decades. No way would I go back to that for a daily driver., especially now with CVT. I get it if you're a car guy and can afford a second car for fun driving, but in...

There is so much bullshit hidden in the BBB that some of it will certainly get through--like Iranian missiles. That's the whole point of omnibus bills--attach so much garbage to must pass...

The public part of Alpine Meadows is on the list, Kiva Beach on Lake Tahoe, and the public part of Fallen Leaf Lk., as well as the public lands leased to Heavenly as previously mentioned.

My understanding, after hiring multiple contractors over the decades, is that money up front means that the contractor doesn't have good credit with the suppliers.

Our incoming water is pretty damn cold in Truckee in the winter. Our heater has no trouble making scalding water. As far as recirc pumps you can use them with on demand heaters.

Al Oerter. Gretsky. Biles

Why is there a new wildfire thread every year?

We have a gas tankless. The biggest advantage is that we never run out of hot water. It makes a lot of sense if you get large crowds all wanting to shower. I can run the dishwasher, take a shower,...

The parade was a nice history of the Army. Here's an alternate version:5y2FuDY6Q4M

I'd like to know who funded the rally in Truckee because I got stiffed.

The star at the Truckee rally was the Elvis impersonator with the sign "The is only one King in America" on one side and "Thank you very much" on the other.Meanwhile the military parade did nicely...

I just realized that my anti Trump t shirt--"Trump University--a mind is a terrible thing to ruin" is in Sacramento. As is my wife's Nasty Woman shirt. Guess we'll go anyways.

California debt--both state and local--is in the form of taxpayer approved bonds, mostly to build infrastructure, unlike the Federal debt, which is passed by Congress and much of it is to fund...

Cats are a bad idea.

They'd like you to think tankman is dead. There are credible reports he was sighted in a Memphis 7-11 last year.
When we were in DC some years ago they was a display of tanks and field pices on...

I guess this doesn't apply to live2ski unless he spends a lot of time in the garage, but when we added a second story the first floor ceiling joists were 2x4s, with some kind of funky 1930's...

Stressing over the extra 30 seconds you gain by walking up an escalator is hazardous to your health. Yeah, on staircases you have to pass people going the other way but I can't remember the last...

Bennett reminds me of Howe--top scorer with a serious mean streak. Not too many of those around any more--the aces mostly are treated with kid gloves.

Our kitchen is separated from the rest of the downstairs by L shaped row of cabinets and countertops, with a 3 feet gap between the end of the counters and the refrigerator. This is where my wife...

Aw what's the point if there's no video.

A lot of people would consider passing on an escalator to be rude, especially in an airport where people have luggage. This does not apply to the moving walkway, where the sign tells you to stand...

I wasn't a big BB fan--too vanilla--but Good Vibrations is a great song. There's a lot more to his music than what I heard on the radio--I should listen to some of it. Tough life.

OK, how about T shirts that look just as good inside out.

What basinbeater said. Although Florida is a lot better at getting away with shit than Oilers. Kane is a liability.

Let's switch wives. Mine got mad at me for hitting the brakes when someone in the opposite lane made a sudden left in front of us a lot closer than that.

A couple of mountain lion sightings--West end of Donner Lake, and Summit Canyon trail. More concerning--the deer mice in my house.

She has a point.

Some kind of military cadets doing traffic control at a big festival in Truckee today--in camo and hi-viz vests.

So how do you feel about skiers who clog the roads on weekends and on powder mornings, keeping people from getting to work, slowing or blocking first responders. We as a group obstruct other people...

Another fun place to watch traffic is outside or a window seat at Bar of America in Truckee, watching people dealing with the 3 way stop, 1 way no stop. Spoiler alert--the people who aren't supposed...

I'd rather be called "Rat" than "Worm"

I was relieved that a) Oilers won in OT, and b) Darren Pang wasn't doing in game commentary or whatever it is they call his babbling

I once spent 45 minutes on top of the Arc de Triomphe mesmerized by the taaffic in that roundabout. It was like watching ants go about their business, each knowing what they were supposed to do and...

Thank you for your service.

TWINS--you clearly have lost your vision to the right.

Not sure the medic alert would have done any good. My mom had one. She fell, broke her pubis, and laid on the floor all night because she didn't want to go to the ER. She wound up there anyways.

Doesn't necessarily matter for how you do long term. It could matter for long term swelling but more likely not. The main cause of long term problems after blood clots in the leg is not persistent...

My wife was supposed to do a one day cruise from Vienna to Bratislava--canceled due to low water. No notification, she found out when she showed up at the dock.

The clots don't always resolve. They can turn into scar in the vein.

I'm happy if the mice, squirrels, bears, et al are in the yard and not in the house.

Let's include the vets whose minds were wrecked by TBI and PTSD and committed suicide or suffered other violent deaths years later. Those are KIA too, IMO.

Why Carhartt but not Dickies for people who want to look working class? Actual working class people need not reply.

He's been a better player for the Panthers than he has been for years with the Bruins. As far as being an asshole, on a team full of them he doesn't particularly stand out.
Losing Hyman is going...

But that's exactly what your first post implied, that you suspected your uncles dvt and pes were due to covid, even though as far as you know he didnt have it and you admitted you didnt know the...
