While I appreciate your viewership of TPIR and Steve Wilkos I can 100% assure you that I have no time to turn on the TV during the day. I'm lucky if I have a moment to post here some days. I love working from home for a ton of reasons. Others hate it. To each their own. It would be really hard to get me back into an office every day.

Pennsylvania needs to get on that shit.

495 in PA today.

Damn

I'll never get the anti mask thing. How is asking people (or requiring people) to wear a mask to protect not only the mask wearer but others during a pandemic any different from requiring people to wear clothing in public? Fucking stupidity. This coming from someone who tends to lean right on a lot of (not all) things. Common sense is common fucking sense. We politicize everything and I'm over it to be honest.

When I was younger we rented at the hideout for a week in the summer a few times. The Hamlin Diner close by was excellent. There was also a sweet driving range near there with go carts and shit. Not sure if that's still there but that place was rad.

Apparently Europe is considering banning travel from the US and I don't blame them one bit. I'm happy the PASRs got after it in Switzerland when they did.

Yeah I'm stumped on the whole Ulysses S. Grant thing. Wasn't he the good guy?

Well since we're getting technical, most solar days are slightly longer than 24 hours. Some are slightly shorter, like today which will run 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59.9989785 seconds. For reference yesterday was 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59.9992791 seconds. It all averages out to 24 hours.

I like long days.

Let's hope

Florida is over 4000 today. Terrible PA is at 503

I was waiting for the RideDE commentary. It did not disappoint.

Politics aside I saw him live in 2016 as I had a chance to go both times so I took advantage of it. Not saying I agreed with everything. Mainly wanted to experience it. It's definitely different being there. Saw John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008 too. Again politics aside, Sarah Palin (love her or hate her) was pretty hot. That said the Tulsa rally is a stupid move in my opinion. It's not the time.

That would be nice.

I think the family that owns elk may have been trying to off load it for some time. Regarding ski and stay, they'd have to provide transportation in order to make that work IMO. Perhaps a shuttle or a ski bus (or busses) that run every few hours or so. But, to your point, it's a fairly long drive.

Kalahari purchasing it has me thinking that there's a plan to turn Elk into a Camelback like circus. Unless they plan on a "swim and ski" type packages to maybe that pull some of Camelbacks business? Only problem is Elk is about 50 minutes away. Like Dan said....interesting. We'll see I guess.

Ooh that's a nice one. I'd buy that bridge.

526 today

Sad part is everyone freaking knew that yet here we are.

Holy shit

That's not bad for a Thursday.

For sure. As an FYI. They true up Blue Mt. to 1082, classified as mid-size.

Next closest (according to the true up vert on mountainvertical.com) is sugarbush at 2552 feet (36 overall...WF is 15). Killington true up vert is 1645. I know there's more to it than vert but interesting none the less. I can't wait to blast down Upper skyward, to Victoria, to base this winter.
