  1. Yeah I saw that on TWC this morning. Looks my kids will get to experience skiing on ice for the first time. Spring skiing in CO in my youth is all i ever experienced. The last several years in UT we have seen the best snow conditions; double edge sword I guess, in that driving from Denver should be no issue, but not ideal on mountain conditions other than the weather being warmer. Still will be fun.
  2. Anyone got an eye on snow forecast for Breckenridge in the next 10 days?
  3. yeah true. i had looked into Eagle and the options were not as good (flights or cars)
  4. what city/airport? edit: nm, see it now. Gunnison to CB. One of the first things i do when planning any trip or even start thinking about a trip is grab a car; i may hold 6 car reservations just to lock in a ride, but i have 3 teen daughters and wifey (sorry no picks assholes)
  5. Now you guys got me nervous. Renting in Denver and driving to Breck Dec 27-31. Getting the car from National, Ill check and see if they offer a snow package (ie chains or an alternative). Rented in SLC for Park City the last 5 years and it never even came up as its interstate the whole way . Last year in Feb it dumped the whole time we were there, but the roads were plenty clear and we had a 4X4 burban, never was an issue for the short drive. Denver to Breck over that pass will be 2x as long. Need to look into that, though with the projected weather, may be a moot point. edit: checked my reservation, we have mid-size AWD SUV; $317 with a couple free day awards used
  6. Like many of you, I have owned a dozen of boots at least since my late teens, 53 now. Red Wings for my college days and early 20's decade. Served me well for many years. Kept mink oil on them repeatedly and I still have one pair since 1992 that I mow the yard in, occasionally, though my feet feel it after. Wore Justin Ropers as my "nice" boot for many years. Bought 2 pairs of Luccheses , a soft skin (cant recall which), caramel/distressed brown color Roper that I still wear and get compliments on periodically. My second pair of Luccheses currently in rotation is a western style boot , round toe, well worn in and look like they just come off the Dutton ranch. Love those boots, though they are looking a bit too worn; i call them my drinking boots. I will say the strap broke a couple months ago, so getting them on, I have to wear a business sock, versus tube so they slide in The most recent purchase is a pair of Tecovas from their shop in Frisco at Legacy, western style, suede. Been getting a lot compliments on them; they pair well with a dark khaki jean. You have to be careful with Tecovas boots as the jean/pants cannot be too skinny, as the shaft is larger (no ghey) than any other boots ive owned. Ill try and get some pictures uploaded. Love all my boots, its about all i wear outside of work.
  7. Hoping Breck gets at least one more big snow dump before New Years. Looks like plenty of lifts open, but trails/terrain is limited
  8. What finally drove the RU out of Afghanistan? That is what will ultimately doom their UKR efforts imo. I dont have enough background knowledge of how that campaign ended. From the looks of things and reading upthread about their manpower replenishment strategy, about the only way I see this ending anytime soon would be to look at Afghanistan.
  9. TAMU, TCU and OU. I'd much rather lose to OU than the other two.
  10. I think dradle is the word youre looking for here.
  11. headed to Breck in 16 days, plenty of lifts open, but terrain/run % is in low 20's. Need snow from somewhere quick.
  12. We were Freshman Phil Geigar roughing the punter away from completing the comeback. Major was poised for one last drive after we held them on 3rd down. The young buck got too exuberant and it cost us. He ended up being a fine player out of Evangel, but not to be that fateful night in Dallas. I watched that game from Ricks on Bourbon st, the night of my bachelor party
  13. We had a younger-ish associate (mid 30’s) get fired a couple years ago for using a poor choice of words (racially charged) in a Facebook post. It was a Fox News article that he left this particular comment on. Some completely random person saw the comment (it was bad), copied it and emailed it to our general email for the company. I guess his employer was listed on the bio page and was able to research our company to the point of fining our general email. Thankfully an admin person monitors the email and was able to delete it before it got out to the masses somehow. We fired him on the spo, which needed to happen. Not only did he show his true ethos, but had our/his clients seen the post before he deleted it, would have been no bueno.
  14. Primary bedroom repalcing master bedroom is appropriate imo....I prefer to use the term main bedroom....Mrs JDHorn (no pics) is a realtor. The phrase "back of the bus" used needs to be 86'ed , no need for that. "Black and White procedures", Ive replaced with non-negotiables , in meetings recently. Any time someone uses the term "jew them down", I cringe. I come from the age when Mexicans were called 'beaners'. I havent heard that in ages, so thats good.
  15. HAHAHAH If they hire the KSU OC that would be so on brand for the Aggies. Hire the OC from the team known most for running the QB. I guess he didnt watch last year vs Bama, running that old fashioned O in this modern game is not going to work.
  16. Our DE Ethan Burke had a full ride to UVA or some bigtime LAX school and chose Football. He was HS LAX AA
  17. sweet, I imagine Breck too....heading there couple days after Christmas.
  18. Oh yeah, good catch, Trill Carter, not Hill. Had Anthony Hill Jr on my mind, must have juxtaposed the 'ill. Carter has been as advertised when he came in. Multiyear starter for the Gophers. He has another year if he wants
  19. Yeah I was thinking more defense in general vs Ant and Collin both being edge players. If gnenda, Minnesota Hill and Collins all come back , we may have another really good defense.
  20. That's a big kid right there. I think edge may not be a problem for the next few years. Him and Ant Hill going to be a force.
  21. Yeah seems like a troll job. Cant find anything accept this tweet and its prob a fakey
  22. Not sure how legit, but seeing reports they flipped 5* QB Lagway from UF.
  23. Have you seen the movie Railway Man? Thoroughly enjoyed it, though given your depth of knowledge on the subject matter, it may have been too dramatized.
