Pops and I are planning to head west for a short trip but haven't made any plans yet. Was tentatively looking at Winter Park but haven't really dug into anything yet. What kind of trip are you looking at? Looks like Epic Pass prices go up in about 8 hours.

DeSantis for President!

Yeah, and also makes sense that they would have started at Camel, since they would have needed to get to a certain point on that lower house before opening the waterpark, I would think.

I wonder if they're not using the same contractors for both mountains. Maybe they just finished concrete at Camel so they moved that crew down to Blue

They zoomed out a bit on the Main St cam too, so that one will eventually be worth watching as well.

Third base coach is way outside of the coaches box. If that's the opponent, I would ask the ump to enforce that if I was the Pig's manager. Gotta win the mind game too, lol

Waffle House

Some digging on the left side of the Main St cam. Can't see much but a pile of dirt and the occasional hoe bucket, but maybe some footers coming soon.

Here's a screenshot of a partly installed lower lift house:

Same thing not new, but here's the video 292657086_1335656393591880_6920872273244192099_n.mp4

Did they make you stand in front of the mound too? I know a lot of first pitches at MLB parks they won't let the step on the mound EDIT: Eh, that seems like one of those things I heard a few times but isn't true. Checked out a couple compilation vids and plenty of throws from the mound and even the rubber

Gotcha. I remember being in a ground level “wing” and walked out onto the tarmac to ramp board on the way home, after taking a shuttle over that also dropped off out on the tarmac. It was interesting.

Is that part of the local/small plane terminal, F or whatever? We had a connection through there a few years ago on an Orlando trip that included an ABE-PHL leg.

That whistle seemed a bit late

Vey nice. Really shows the line top to bottom for the first time. Interesting that they are running it right up half of the learning hill with the crowds that sees. I think the towers are sitting on the “water park” parking lots maybe. At least it looked like it in that one video

Nice that the box is right on your lot. Might have been left waiting if it was a few doors down and they had to cross sidewalks/driveways. Like I said, can't speak for VZ, but it would be crazy to charge for that. And there's always the option to get salty and call and bitch for a gift card/account credit

Yeah, I'm sure that's part of the reason that we don't charge for drop repairs or replacements. Everyone knows there's a lot of really shallow drop cable out there. Plant hardline would be another story. It's *almost" always much deeper, and even still most of the times I saw they never charged a homeowner for an honest mistake. If another company doesn't call for locates and/or recklessly disregards good practices, sometimes they will try to go after them for damages. Especially if they're jerks, lol

I'm surprised by the $99 fee. I know at Comcast, we generally own responsibility for the drop up to the bond block at the side of or just inside the house. Will replace or repair without charge no matter how it gets damaged. Usually our call agents will warn about a service call fee "if the problem is determined to be inside wiring or customer responsibility" but that's basic CYA and means if the tech gets out there and finds out that it's not really a cut UG but something else or the customer didn't check the batteries in the remote or something then they get charged. There's a ton of coax out there direct buried without conduit, and a lot of it not much deeper than a couple inches. I certainly laid a few thousand feet of it myself in Harford County, MD about a decade ago. 🤣 But that's a whole lot easier to fix than fiber.

Is that your drop, and do you have Fios? If so, probably won’t cost you anything, but If it’s not safely temp-able service will likely be out for a few days until a bury crew gets to burying a new one. If it’s your drop and you DON’t have Fios, they likely won’t even replace it now. They’ll put a new one in if you ever switch to them. Make sure to call them a month ahead of when you want service. If it’s a neighbors drop it still probably won’t cost you anything, but if it’s not safely temp-able you’re probably not his favorite new neighbor. 😂 Interesting to see it direct buried. Everything Fios ran underground around upper bucks was in conduit

BUMP

It's not as fun as you might think. I don't grill as much as I'd like to. Hoping to change that though. I did make these beauties the other night: And this brisket for Memorial Day:

We should go mount a trail cam on a post or tree somewhere that has a good view. Visit each night and pull footage. Post it the next day. Not live, but entertaining. 🤣

Action in the valley. Would be nice if they would nudge that camera over again.

I'm sure they want to get the lower stuff done as quickly as they can, given it's basically IN the waterpark, and that opens next week
