Haha I realize it may not work...just wasn't sure of the process.

So being the first season that I'm actually "renewing" a season pass...My season pass from last year is automatically re-activated? I don't have to visit customer service or anything?

I'm hoping for one of the days this weekend. Taking off Friday isn't likely, but if I don't fish this weekend, I'll be up Saturday or Sunday morning for sure. Or maybe fish Saturday and Blue Sunday depending on how things are at home (if the wife doesn't have plans and my daughter is behaving like a normal human)

Yep - having a season pass there was great since I could just park at the top of the North Face and get right on the snow instead of dealing with walking to the crowded lodge and getting my ticket. The only times I went into the lodge was to use the bathrooms. The pub there (Slocum Hollow) was rarely very crowded.

Agreed. I'm assuming PASR's are taking precautions to avoid COVID so I'm good riding with you guys...just no sharing beers or holding hands on the lift

Pretty cool stuff. I always wanted to make a bench out of a jeep tailgate...unfortunately most of the tailgates in the junkyards are rusty as hell and the only decent ones I ever brought home ended up getting resold

With all the riff raff in this thread I was compelled to give it a 1 star rating.

Probably not friday...work is a shitshow right now...maybe next weekend if I don't fish then.

I'll get together with my wife's parents and my parents (separately), but that's about the extent of my holiday gathering this year. I'm perfectly happy with that. Maybe Blue will care to open and I can even gather with my PASR family in the parking lot (socially distanced of course)

Yeah sounds about the same for me. Depending on what programs are going on we have an on-demand site set up. (at one point we had a contract with Harley-Davidson, which involved about 600 different dealers, so we had a self service site set up). Ours is next day - instant confirmation though if it gets denied/goes through. AMEX is two days, but they like to put holds on some payments and request all sorts of documentation before releasing the funds.

They make credit card readers that hook up to a phone or tablet - not sure what they cost, but I've seen them at beer festivals, farmers markets, etc. being used by small businesses and breweries. Not sure how/if you process credit cards, so you may know this...You can also get access to an online credit card terminal where you can take customer's info in person/online/over the phone and enter it there. Depending on your bank, they may have one that they'll set you up with. Otherwise you can probably find one online. My workplace uses one called WorldPay. They charge a monthly fee + transaction fees (ours is summarized and charged once a month). AMEX can be processed through it but get deposited and charged separately (side note, AMEX can be a pain in the ass to deal with)

I think we need one of these for a cheese ball dispenser. https://www.chewy.com/bergan-wall-mounted-pet-dispenser/dp/56968?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Bergan&utm_term=&gclid=Cj0KCQiAk53-BRD0ARIsAJuNhpvc5DSmi9KNGE9ffKaV_-FNZULCP5Oc2KCLSufkJH1MHT6MinnvqdkaAg0NEALw_wcB

yeah we had a good coating of snow - grass, deck, and cars were covered. My daughter was running around playing in it this morning

My daughter's day care just had a confirmed COVID case yesterday. They are shutting down that classroom (1-2 year olds). Kids there are separated by age groups and all the groups are pretty much isolated...but it's probably only a matter of time before her classroom shuts down, especially with the holidays coming up

maybe they were social distancing from me - that could be the problem. The schooled up fish are super spreaders - no masks, no social distancing (video looks better on the HD setting)

I think they were actually - which would explain why they weren't really biting. I spent most of my time playing the the trolling motor on the kayak instead of fishing...did catch a few (the dumb ones that weren't wearing masks)

I'm looking forward to doing nothing on Thanksgiving. I never take off Black Friday (maybe do a half day this Friday) so traveling and having to go to work the next day sucks. On another note, I traveled to NJ Saturday night to fish (drove there, fished, came home - no stops except for gas on the PA turnpike). The authorities/quarantine police have not shown up at my house yet.

I have a 20% any "soft goods/apparel" coupon for Buckman's - valid from December through sometime in January...They gave it to me when I bought my snowboard last month, but I don't think I'll use it. If anyone wants it, let me know. It should be valid on a new jacket, etc. but I don't really need anything.

The lot shenanigans are as much fun, if not more, than the skiing

Nice...need some pants to make it a sweet new kit

Haha...my mom is cool and all, but she's not a rock star like Ski2Live That makes sense. I'm sure his agents are already in contact with Blue to get reservations then

If they care to open? Dude you sound like my mom...."I made dinner if you actually care to eat it" I'll start writing up a letter to Blue today for you though - petitioning for them to open Saturday so you can conquer the steeps of Easy Out.

I didn't even consider the fish's feelings. I'm a terrible person. I'm not sure how I could find a way to link accounting/finance and fishing together haha. I didn't have any issues the few times I fished NJ in the spring, so I think I should be ok, but I guess I'll find out.

Planning on fishing NJ a few more times this year. I wonder if that will be frowned upon. I fill up on gas before leaving PA and don't really stop at any stores/restaurants or come in contact with people, so I can't imagine I'd be putting myself/others at risk

I rarely eat at chain restaurants, but yeah...I started getting more takeout, crowlers, etc. since this started and still have been doing that like once or twice a week. Another shutdown is likely going to put some places out of business. One of my favorite local breakfast places just shut down. Small space, so the decreased capacity really hurt them.
