First, I would change my expectations and trade it in at 100k. But if you wanna shoot for the moon, I would just look up the recommended service intervals.

Me: "Hey wife, do you want to go skiing?"
Wife: "NO"
Me: "OK" get ready and about to walk out the door
Wife: "I think I want to go with you"
Cut to 1 hr later
Me: "Ok, are you ready"
Wife:...

My 2001 Sequoia LTD got upgraded to a Sony XAV-AX3200 w/ a rear camera. I immediately blew the (23 yo) JBL speakers. But it sounded great up to that point! haha

In my other 2009 Tundra w/ CD...

I notice you didnt post that in the BOD thread. ;). TWSS

Drove to Gypsum, now headed back. VP wasnt terrible, some drivers certainly were. FML. Red tags driving on wet roads.

Plus the price of Chesters makes it so you dont lose sleep over beating the shit out of them.

Another mark against the Sprinters is travel south of the border. A friend of a friend has apparently been stuck on the baja for months because his sprinter broke down. However, as a guy fresh off a...

Is vanlife fading? Would never know by the amount of vans here.

But as much as i hate Ford, i would get a Transit over a Sprinter any day. My buddy’s Sprinter spent the entire winter down in...

OMG that is some funny shit. Now the overlanders can't overland because of their tiny tires. Why not just add a little lift?

I mean, you bought a Ford, and you didn't expect things to go wrong?

Buff Creek? Curt Gowdy?

Newspaper article on the incident:

Ugh, why would you talk (whine) to the news paper about this shit? ...

I get kinda pissed when I see those things on the road. Like who the fuck needs that? Most places that I would go off the grid to camp at those trucks wouldn't make it past the first switchback and...

Didn't ski my Steeples or ride my Jones Solution this season. Skied Icelandic Naturals, 4frnt MSP99s, Factor Dictators 3, Rode the Jones carbon Flagship and Never Summer Chairman. 5/7 ain't bad I...

I think/hope it is just delayed.

BTW emails went out for discounted heli bump scheduling today.

Dramarado. Never a dull moment.

Welcome change. Keep it up fellas.

Drugging my dog up to take him to the vet is annoying. But a 90lb anxious dog can be troublesome. Hopefully we can get a nail trim accomplished.

RE friends around here are saying things are slowing down quite a bit. Definitely a microcosm resort town, but yeah, it is happening and we are usually pretty insulated from major downturns.

I feel like skiing does provide more than the average "feel-good" stories. Maybe that's why we all like it so much.

Just reminds me of my years of working in a ski shop and riding every chance I got. Good times. Love employers who support people getting out and doing shit.

North Pole did at 9:30a. I actually didn't make it over to the gullies, but Gauthier was open and good.

Pretty mellow up there today. Mad rush for the EW opening but other than that lines were pretty minimal. Guess everyone is just over it. Snow was pretty nice all around. Lil' crusty underneath.

No need for a barge, a fisherman in a bass boat would probably take that bridge out. haha

50 closed between Gunny and Montrose. Sounds like it could be for a while.

We are too high for hail.

Well looks like i am stuck with some Black Baker bibs in size large. Something went wrong and i cant return them. Tags still on. Skied one day. No damage. $200 plus shipping if anyone is interested.

The building I am talking about, the insurance agency found that some of the building had aluminum wiring. That was enough to drop em. Upkeep has been routine. Lots of newly updated stuff like...

Insurance rates for HOAs in condo buildings have been going crazy around here. One of our condo buildings was dropped from their insurance and had to reinsure at 5x higher rates. This means the hoa...

I used to help with avy dog training. I have seen a dog locate a body under moving water. I have personally been located 6ft under snow, and two miles away in the rain with tracks from the day...

Got some flylow baker bibs for $215 from backcountry gear. Went with the xl as the larges were a little tight in the midsection and i wouldnt consider myself that fat. The XLs fit pretty good, a...

Should be good if you can avoid hitting bottom. Yesterday was pure concrete.

Dude um yeah, I own a very blue collar business, and I am the one getting his hands dirty every fucking day to make the money. So if I'm wealthy because of it, so be it. I'll not apologize for that...

Hoping this storm can hold off till after the lifts close today! Yesterday was so nice out.

It was more the volume than the music selection. It sounded like a dace party, but it was like three chicks sitting in camp chairs staring at their phones. Offended when i called them out on it.

Nice day up there today. East wall was firm and thin but fun. Skied it with my buddy who is a former olympic skier so that was cool. Slush love for sure. Hoping tomorrow can get there before snow...

Is not "Struggling" something you aspire to? Or is "Struggling" something you wear like a badge of courage?

Whatever your number is, that's fine, but don't assume everyone is living under the same circumstances. $150k doesn't go far where I live. My large tax bill was from selling an investment, yes it...

I gotta laugh when people wear their low income like a badge of honor and think others are wealthy because they have a tax burden higher than those folk’s annual income. It is like they don't realize...

We have CPAs. We bought another business, owned another, bought and sold stocks, sold investment property, bought and sold business vehicles, etc. so it was a complicated year. This year is too, but...

Everyone has a different situation. Limiting tax liability is a difficult game to play and sometimes you just flat out lose. Paying large amounts of taxes all at once is a tough pill if you aren’t...

We had to pay ~$50k last year. Sucked. Hoping for better results this year. Had to file an extension though because my pos system isnt talking to QuickBooks correctly. FML. Hate having that shit...

Nice work! We hit 65 on snowboards years ago. I got 57 skiing with the wife. Been meaning to do it again on skis someday. Looked like a good day for it. Now eat your advil and sport legs.

Ask her if she would rather get banged or screwed tonight.

They monitor conditions and don’t close it till it is warranted i guess. I think they dig over at a spot at the top of the face to see if water is running under the snowpack too. I pretty much stop...

Yesterday east was 100% open till 2:45. I skied vertical cornice and hiked willie’s to booger ramp. Pali was open till 3:30. I’ve ridden Chihuahua Marjory 20-30 times (even hiked the trench as a...

I doubt the 4runner will have recalls for the windshield falling out or the engine blowing up or....... but who knows.

East wall was incredible today… again.

You know what else? Motherfuckers that stand in front on the entrance to the lift maze. Fuck you fuckers.
