Colorado B.S. Thread

Well, he's not up here in Greenland. Not the exit...the one in the Arctic Circle. Not even really sure why I'm here!

 

Post that baby on Boulder's Craigslist, Bet you can make a profit!

 

Hey, Is this the correct stuff to use after trimming metal fender for HC Bumper?

Basically what I used. I also ran a small bead of caulk inside it to help it stay on better and keep water out.

 

That’s one option.

Cheaper than Amazon, they want $43

Edit: Used for cut fenders, not for HC. @YamaDirtrider's option is probably better

 

It's hard to find good help. I needed a cable outlet in a room that didn't have one. Yes, I could do it, but Comcast said they could do it for $40. I figure why not. First guy drills a hole through the side of the house, snakes a cable through, and calls it good. I call Comcast...new dude comes out and says that's crazy, and starts to put in an outlet. He's doing things right, but to fix the other dude's screwups, he has to do some work outside, too. Queue the thunderstorm, extremely close lightning, and heavy rain, and I say it's ok to come back the next day. All good there, there's an outlet in place, but not hooked up yet. Third guy comes out, gets to work, and while I'm sitting at my desk, a big ass drill bit comes up through the hardwood floor, about a foot from the wall. "Oops, I thought I was coming up through the wall". Sigh. Eventually everything is connected and cabled correctly, but now I have two "damage to property" claims open with Comcast, one to fix the drywall, and one to fix my floor. Fuck it, I'm done calling people to do stuff that I know I can do.

 

He doesn't *technically* live in Boulder

 

been there, done that but i was in a rental and they put a hole in the wall. Had to play middle man between the landlord and the cable company for the claim. Beer helps

 

Thats what he tried to say as well... but the county ruined it

 

I keep telling him this. But apparently anything west of Erie is Boulder

 

Correct

 

Looks like Medano Pass is now safe to plan a trip (although I am booked up).

Flows under 40 CFS for a few days now (50 closes pass)

Yep. Crazy how lazy, and stupid people are these days.

 

Way back in the day I was in my Bronco and my friend in his Scout II... got through a couple of the creek crossings then got to one that was raging. He went first (I'm no dummy) and immediately started getting swept downstream. Wide open throttle of the 390 motor eventually got him up the bank about 30' down the crossing. Almost took him over. Never seen anything like that.

Of course as soon as I dropped in I went full throttle with the 351 and I too got up the bank about 10' downstream from the crossing.

It was insane flow.

 

sadly only partially open per their site.
