Colorado B.S. Thread

Hell we pulled out a jeep and a Subaru today.

 

About half of the cars today were subarus. At least they have tow points. Fucking Hyundai doesn’t put tow points on their cars. Nightmare

 

Sounds good to me

 

Right! Stupid cars have to hook around control arms or sway bars.

 

The next bottle of enjoyment.

 

I didn't get to throw the Tundra into 4WD today for snowbashing. Just got to throw my back out shoveling.

thats some good stuff been looking for a bottle and Blantons

 

Goodluck! A buddy brought that back from KY last year.

 

I’ve been on the hunt for some blantons myself. Let me know if you find any.

 

We had a liquefied inch today up here in the mountains.

 

You had me at whiskey.

You lost me at ice.

 

pretty sure Daveco (I-25 and Hwy 7) has it.

 

it's a sippin whiskey, best enjoyed chilled.
not the well whiskey i normally waste money on.

 

will do

so dave co only gets it in on thur i think but never has it when i go in. and you have to be there right when it comes in i found it once at a small random store but they had it marked up at 315.00

 

Does not compute.

Nice sippin whiskeys require no ice. The sludge you drink requires ice and all sorts of other crap.

But I’m just giving Tim some shit. We’ve met a few times. Both he and I know he’s far tougher than me in real life

 

You’d think they’d order more.

 

im not sure if they even could since its limited batch runs they only get 2-6 a month alot of stores i ask tell me they are lucky to get 1 a year but who knows! My wife’s uncle always has a bottle for special occasions. Seems best way to get it is being a regular and or befriending your local liquor store owner.

 

I didn’t realize it was that limited. You know Daveco has the buying power with their volumes, figured they could get more.

 

yeah buffalo trace which makes blantons limits it, but i think main issue is just supply.

im just down the street from daveco so i check when i go in but never been lucky honestly its now just a fun hunt to try and find it.

 

I'm too impressed with my little Taco. We got a bunch of snow today... feet of it.

There is no less than 3 feet of snow in my driveway, but when I saw a neighbor walking into the blizzard (literal) home down the middle of the street it didn't take too long to figure out there was a stuck car somewhere fairly close. Since stuck cars tend to create big problems for plows and EMS vehicles, I figured I'd head out to see if I could employ my recovery gear to get them somewhere safe.

I wasn't sure how well the truck would do in snow this deep. There was a standing 2 feet on the road. My KO2s were at 29lb. I've got a pair of traction boards, a tow strap and shackles to get the job done.

It didn't take long to locate the car; a Hyundai sedan, stuck as could be, steeply downhill from where it needed to be. It didn't have a tow/tie-down large enough to accommodate a shackle, so we went with plan B and used a heavy duty ratchet strap (the same sort we strapped cargo down on C-130s, plenty sturdy for the task at hand, though not as secure as I'd have liked it).
My little Taco didn't miss a beat despite being deep in snow, dragging a little sedan through 2' of snow for a quarter mile. The extra lighting I added recently was exceptionally helpful, particularly the light bar facing aft and the side-shooters. The truck was flawless and much more sure footed than I had expected.
