AZ BS Thread 4²0

Just got home from work. Give me a few min to drink some whiskey and I’ll try to liven things up in here

 

Wooooooooooo

 

Didnt seem to work

 

OVS has got some solid people on their crew -- appreciate whomever it was a few years ago that got me looking in their direction.

Had a rough experience trying to get in contact with someone about a warranty replacement, actually took 4 weeks. Tried to keep it collected as the frustration was mounting, but one of their day-one'rs answered my call yesterday and is going above and beyond to make it right.

Customer Service just hasn't been the same since 2020 - I'll take a screw up made right over the normal screw ups working in service industries, lately. (I'm allowed to say that as a Sales Manager, too lol)

 

Found a new project today. 1981 cm400T. 20k miles basically a 1 owner sitting in a barn for the last 10 years. Needs a few minor things I will probably keep it stock because it is only original once. I paid $250.

 

Nice score! I am sure some hipster will give you a couple grand for that since its "vintage"

 

I rode the smaller 250 all through high school! Great old bikes! Cheapest gas and insurance I could find!

 

I can only do so much on my own

 

Bored and looking at homes in MT. I don't know how many more AZ summers I've got in me.
If I had the money I might just buy this sight unseen

Wow didn't realize MT homes fetched such a high price. A lot of yard work there. Would you get some livestock to go with all that land?

 

Been looking at ID even though the unabomber called it home. Durango has a certain draw to me, but the SW CO area and fires kinda gives us pause. But I hear ya on the hot summers. 23 and counting. Did you get the Brooks Ranch mailer? WY also has some nice places too. Windy but not bad - brutal winters - my sister lives in Laramie. They have good coffee there.

 

His cabin was in MT, not ID...

 

Yeah, just commiserating on the heat, looking for somewhere north, higher, and cooler. Was planning on a Mogollon Rim trip this weekend, but 94 in Forest Lakes just doesn't sound that great after hiking this morning at 91. I tell my family this is our "winter" the time when outside isn't that much fun - but we two gardening seasons a year. I'll wait for September and camp for the next 8 months!

 

Went to college for a year in Laramie that was enough for me. Pretty but F that wind

 

Wyoming has a nice appeal due to the fact that the whole goddamned state has fewer people than Chandler. (Hyperbole I know)
I like being where people aren't.

 

its supposed to be 93-95 here in Flagstaff so not any cooler.

 

Ya know, Bones Coffee has this 'gram post about "caffeinetrovert" I have it posted at our coffee maker at work - "one who likes being around coffee all the time, people, not so much"

Oh, and, no state income tax.

That's really my reason for camping in the N. Kaibab, not many want to make the 6 hr drive. Happy Jack - ya, not for me.

I don't really think the "like" button is appropriate but it's the only thing I have to say, shit I get it.

 

I foresee a lot of negative air bnb reviews complaining about no AC

 

I hope so!
