When you start selling cars that look like this, you have a valid statement.

At first, i was "ok" with this. I am definitely not against clean energy. Unfortunately they just dont drop these things in the middle of the forest. they have to clear cut a shit ton of land to make this all happen. They actually catch fire often, and since its 350' in the air, basically you just kind of watch it rain down fire on the surrounding area. Windmills dont last forever, it seems they have a shelf life, and in time they will be decommissioned, but it seems most companys will just walk away from them since it cost a whole bunch of money to dismantle them. Yay. abandoned windmills. The company that wants to install the turbines is from Spain, the electricity generated goes to like New York or something, and i think without the tax benifits that our country is willing to hand out to them, its not a feasible project. For whatever awesomeness you find on the internet about windmills, theres an equal, but negative amount of info out there. To me, i dont see the positives outweighing the negatives, but most peoples results would vary based on their proximity to a wind turbine. Its all cool as long as you cant see it from your house. Thats what i have read. I have a few friends who are like within 1500' of the proposed location, i am not quite that close, but i imagine i will still get to admire them from my house. I think the charm of being able to hear the soothing sound of them would wear off quick.

Correct, i dont want a windmill in my backyard, or my side yard for that matter. They have zero benefit for me, or actually the area they are being built. I doubt they will cause my property value to increase as well. I do actually have a school in my back yard.

This guy has a bot you can forward telemarketers to. http://jollyrogertelephone.com/about/ Pretty funny actually. Guy has some type of machine hooked up to his landline that is basically designed to fuck with telemarketers.

Pipeline or Wind turbine. take your pick. The Bethlehem Water Authority is looking to lease out some land pretty close to my house to put up 40 wind turbines. I will take the big underground pipe.

Kinda fits i guess,.... i mean her father is a rebuilt tranny.

atari was awesome.

Dont forget NMSKI is a high level tubing instructor, and is continuing to put forth the effort to improve his qualifications.

i like paying the least amount for something. therefore my pass has been purchased. By the time ski season starts to wrap up, im spending money i havent made yet, but its like that every year since my income in the winter is pretty low. If the early bird wasnt as attractive as it is, i would definitely do the payment plan.

I think its going through the lower lot as well. Better not fuck with Jeffs parking spot.

My roommates in college did some "gardening". at least thats what they called it.

Arent they really the only ski resort in the valley?

Looks like TP4 wont be at Alta anytime soon. https://www.yahoo.com/news/appeals-court-backs-ban-snowboarders-utah-ski-resort-183744636.html Do i care? no, not really. is this earth shattering news? No, but this place sure is boring in the off months. But i do applaud Alta for just standing their ground, basically saying this is how its been, this is how its gonna be. I would think at this point, there is a loss of revenue based on this, but again, thats how they do business.

And you need to go there in person to make your voucher magically turn into a gift card, correct?

Really just sounds horrible Barb.

nice pics. glad you are still in one piece.

Plus at some given point there will be a "nipple deep powder on widowmaker" reference.

yeah good timing, thats awesome. enjoy. looks like a little more for your skiing pleasure Fri/Sat.

Fun day as always. Good to meet Empanada. This was kind of the year that just wasnt meant to be as far as skiing in the NE, but i think most days we had were pretty darn good. looking forward to some upcoming Utah TR's to keep things going here.

31% off puts the price of that pass right were it should be.

Very fun day. I found out today my car will make it from the valley lot up to the top with out exploding.

They havent done that for at least 5 yrs.

Dang...thats a fancy spread. We had some nice beers and crabby chips in the lot. Had to leave at noon.

Thats how we do it in PA. At least this year.
