Colorado B.S. Thread

I think it is currently called La Morena.

 

Nope. Las Potrancas.

 

Drove around a bit, damn bar is closed. Drug some idiot in a VW running a spare tire thru the lot and gave up on him after he kept spinning on cleared pavement.Told him straight up he could have done without the smokes and left. Then pulled a pickup out that cut a corner too sharp, he was a nice guy and needed help. Fuck everyone else, the amount of idiots in front wheel drive cars trying to move around was ridiculous. I'm too old to push and they have nary a hook point.

 

I’ve seen the plate bumper on the front of your truck. Use that to push them.

 

Good to August 2021.

So yeah, good chance with the way this is going that it will expire.

 

Roll the passenger side front and rear windows down.

The city was the first to severely delay shit during the permitting process.

Looking at the plans of an attached two car garage and master suite above it, they somehow got the impression it was an ADU. So it had to go to multi-family zoning, blah blah blah. When my builder was finally able to get a hold of someone his response was merely, "why the fuck do you think this is an ADU?"

The next day, after a 4 week delay, we had the permit.

Then came Xcel's turn to fuck everything up...

 

Soft shackles (from China) can be had for a tolerable price... one of those is easier to deal with than a J-hook, bow shackle, etc. pulling those things out.

 

I’m glad that guy didn’t get zapped.

 

Yeah me too. The line guy was explaining that it would have been really rare for the excavator to get hit with the 7000+ volts even if it hit the line.

But given the luck of this project so far, he would have been the 1 in 10,000 to get nuked.

 

I saw a guy in Rawlins take out an overhead power line. Saw lightning jump from the wheel to the ground. The operator set a world record standing long jump getting off his machine. The entire town was without power for several hours. Pretty impressive over all.

 

After waiting weeks for Xcel to come out and move the main line (they ran through my property and not the easement)... the excavator hit it right at the splice, which was still on my property.

Knocked power out to half of my neighborhood. The operator did a sub 9 second 1/4 mile run out of my neighborhood, before Xcel showed up.

 

Time lapse update: I’ve lost WiFi connectivity with the camera but the lens is clear of snow and it’s still taking pics at the scheduled intervals.

 

Sounds like you discovered the secret to getting the power company to show up.

 

@johntoyota these tires are a big upgrade in this snow

 

That’s a good thing

 

Yeah. I might throw a set on the 350. The 35x11.5s would be damn near perfect.

 

Which tires, Jake?

I’ve been looking for skinny 35s and haven’t seen much beyond the Kendas in a 17.
