Schifdog loathes my rain barrels. He makes fun of them on the regular. He asked, “did you calculate the square footage of your rain runoff to determine how many you need” so… 🥸 spoiler: I didn’t calculate anything. I just impulse purchased on amazon. I got these guys. I like them. Amazon - rain barrels i have gutters that put the water on a small garden bed. So I wanted the rain barrels to hold the water and slowly release it. And to prevent excess water from seeping below.

I hope they have contest to change the name ….

Blue Mountain registered "blue mountain resort homes" as a fictitious name. So, if you want to snag a site - it's for sale, @Benm. https://www.godaddy.com/domainsearch/find?checkAvail=1&domainToCheck=bluemountainresorthomes

I read through it and it doesn't seem like a huge deal. I use to work for an advisory firm that did business and estate planning. I'm not an expert but here are takeaways. (1) It's not that big of a deal. (2) Update legal docs: They had a piece of business called Tuthill Corporation. I would imagine that some of those legal documents may be outdated. It sounds like there's a holding company and you can have multiple LLC's within it. So a benefit could be that they're updating their documents to reflect their intentions. It was incorporated in 1974 and amended 3x. Ray Tuthill passed away in 2007, so it likely needed a refresh anyway. (3) Corp to LLC: It's going from a Corporate structure to LLC. They're likely trying to lessen the tax burden of being a corporation. (4) Naming/Brand: There's another corporation called Tuthill Corp that manufactures and distributes engineered products like pumps, meters, vacuum pumps, etc. They're likely trying to get away from the "Tuthill corporation" name. There's also a branding benefit when you move away from a family name to a branded name. It honestly just sounds like they

I'm still batttling with my groundhog. About 3 weeks ago, I walked the dog around midnight. Slipped on some flip flops and headed down my walkway. Took a step down, my flip flop kicked off and I literally stepped on my fat-ass-taco-bell-eating groundhog. He look so annoyed that I bothered him from sleeping on my steps.. About 6 months ago, I put up a trap from Harbor Freight but only caught 2 squirrels and possem. I finally called a pest guy last week. He set up 2 traps and still nothing. I know this 'hog comes by and sunbathes on the side of my house. So, I did what any normal person would do ... I set up an Amazon Blink camera focused on the traps. And, now we wait...

@toast21602, what do you want to do? ski another resort? Backcountry? Crested Butte is lovely. It's great to just setup in CB and embrace the community of it all. You'll likely fly out of Denver, so you can always hit up the other ski mountains on the way to/from CB.

I might take you up on that! Got the epic this year so hoping to spend some time in Colorado.

right?! surgery. They're opening his stomach & remove it.

my dog, Wally, has been detonating farts that are, by far, the worst thing I've ever smelled. Took him to the vet and it turns out he swallowed a nail. I wonder if they'll also find any pebbles from the blue mountain parking lot in there. (but who swallows nails?!!) Also, considering changing his name from Wally to Wallet.

me too! They used the picture from me from like 2007 🤣

Maybe they counted the dude who was throwing cheeseburgers to people in line. Didn’t @Johnny Lawget tossed one?

@AtomicSkier- What's the rocket ship about? PA Space and Ride?

Does anyone use rain barrels for collecting rainwater and using it in your garden?

There was no room at the Inn. I had some visitor who hog my king size bed.

@Schif- You can barely see the temp. With the $5 that you're saving, you might want to check this out. 🤪 https://join.skillshare.com/photography/

Nothing says welcome to Philly, like horns honking and people yelling at you to move. It would be off brand if someone wasn't being nasty.

on the weekend of the end of season party, there was a waldo at Bleu!

I have but not as much time as you. Every city has a bit of gentrification going on.

twinsies.

Did you go to Fiesta Jalisco (in the plaza with the McDonalds & Office Max)? http://www.fiestajalisco.net/ I love that place. You can get margaritas by the PITCHER. After doing some 14er hikes or camping back in the day, those margaritas were looovely.

Totally agree that it's devoid of life. Pandemic or not, SLC is no Miami, San Fran or NYC. It's clean and the homeless population is low. But, SLC is cool because you can ski before and after work easily, and allows you to have a job other than a seasonal position. For comparison, they're not the only small city to be devoid of life. It reminds me of cities like Hartford CT but with public transit and better views. Salt Lake's population is 197k whereas Hartford's population is 123k and Allentown's population is 120k. It's hard to compare to SLC's scene to a large city and you can't really compare it to a town like Jackson Hole. When you compare SLC to places like Hartford and Allentown, it's a gem.

ah! I went there. Great views of the city. It's a nice lil city hike.

I love this view of Buffalo Mountain ^^ !! So glad you're crushing it.

looks like they cancelled the Earned Your Turns events and are issuing refunds. Not surprised though. I hope they do it during winter when there's actually snow on the ground

I think you like stirring the pot
