Don't let the rad GoPros fool you..a lot of these guys are Jerrys. Salty is in his own class of Jerry take that as a compliment.

It's a cost saving move. They figure they'll take in less money 💰 operating than they'll spend on energy and employment costs. It's alright from Sunday into the long term they'll be open everyday and night.

Those pictures make me smile. I still haven't worn my new shirt yet.

Do people wear glove liners when it's real cold? I never have but new gloves came with them.

This is crazy 😜 I didn't take the picture but clearly R2D2s advice was lost with this guy.

See my above post. Actually kind of dumb they aren't open tonight it's way warmer than it's gonna be tomorrow AM..I ain't scurred..just plotting my attack might need to invest in those fancy heated socks.

When I go night skiing I check google maps..often 22 and the bottom of 145 in Whitehall is nutty so take back roads the worst spot is near willow street pub..it's a traffic light that lets too few cars through.

Did you take turnpike to Lehigh valley interchange or the next one Mahoning valley lehighton

No night skiing tomorrow FYI closing at 4pm

I'm not gnarly enough for bear creek...I can see the lights from my parking spot but haven't been there since 1995 when it was Doe mountain

Are you calling Salty a Jerry lol or Sally

I don't see why not. Winds are only supposed to be about 15mph. No worse than this morning.

Salty did you end up getting a gift card or eating anything at Bear Creek??

I hard you need to sign in with the ski patrol before skiing Sasquatch like the Big Couloir at Big Sky!! When you drop in always call your drop after a countdown from 5...also do a few pole wacks.

Are you happy you bought the legendary RTMs??

And bronze markers..they don't weigh much so are shipped UPS and then we typically mount them to granite occasionally concrete if the cemetery allows it or the family can't afford a granite base for a free veterans marker.

Train funeral directors to sell our memorial stones, assist families and funeral homes in designing memorial stones, provide proofs using monucad software, order granite from suppliers, order foundations from cemeteries, have memorial stones shipped to sandblast facility arrange shipping of completed memorial stones to us..deliver memorial stones to the cemetery and a whole lot of billing and accounting and mailers and collection calls.

I'm not big on restorations...if an old memorial stone is damaged I typically recommend buying a new memorial stone. Most of the old ones are marble which is soft and doesn't hold up to the elements like granite. I was at the Teddy Rooselvelt monument two weeks ago in DC and that was the most impressive granite work I have ever seen. I also watched a special on repairing the Ben Franklin memorial stone which was a really hard job requiring epoxy and bazooka bubblegum. His ledger is white marble and people throw pennies at it and it has become pitted.

This is what 200 pairs of RTMs can buy.

The company we bought the mausoleum from did the set up...and installation. I'm thinking 1/5 of the cost including the foundation. More commonly we do 2-4 person crypts. The one we did most recently in Easton was a four person above ground crypt much different than a walk in mausoleum. Two people on each side. That job was a piece of cake..we rented a flatbed truck and hired a driver for a half day along with a crane truck and an operator for four hours which met the delivery truck with the prefabricated four person crypt/mini mauseleum..craned the crypt to the flatbed truck..uncrated it and installed it. Then added granite benches later.

Our average single is about $2500 average double is about $4,000. The range is about $950 for a flat marker to $140,000 for a 8 person walk in mausoleum I sold down in the east Greenville area. Plus we do in cemetery inscription as well as a bunch of community and church projects.

How does a teacher get so much time to post online or was today a snow day?? I sell tombstones for a living and business is so dead only sold $12,000 worth this week..that barely pays the bills.

Wow I don't remember typing that. Anyway if I'm broke when I'm old I can always get a job at Target if they're still around.

Not much only about $60 total barely more than my average bar tab.

Welcome back Paolo!!! What have you been up to since 2013?
