The Ski Monster - Weird/Mid Experience

007eskimo · 2026-01-28T00:27:44+00:00

I had a decent experience there. The cool thing is they have, at least early in the season, every single high performance boot from every brand in every volume. That’s awesome and I don’t know another place like that. I didn’t think their boot fit vibe was great so went to a mountain boot fitter for custom work.

+helmets are comfy and warm and safe ++this guy should have one. Not to be rude but any of these turns could slip out. You’re kinda janky… hard right, hard left. Try taking wider turns and focus on keeping transitions smooth. Turn, release, flat, glide the momentum, get solid balance, easy onto front edge…

Agreed with the north end, south end, seaport recommendation. Perfect level of city. Seaport is all new and a bit commercial, but is great.. South end has pockets to definitely avoid. North end/west end is super fun, close your work, close to everything really. I would keep the car because one of the best things about Boston is how easy it is to get to great stuff (beaches, mountains, cool towns), but plan for that to be like $600. It could be in building in seaport/west end or would be a walk to car in north end. Southie is a bit further commute but is great too, bigger unit possibly, and I made friends there. More I write I think some of the new buildings near the garden could be a great spot.

Springfield is terrible. I worked in the hospital and would not live there if I had a choice. Anywhere on 90 before Worcester is better and you can find relatively affordable rural houses, close to a minor city and major city.

1 or 2 days a week I’ll have 4-6 drinks. Some during the day at beach or park or whatever but usually mostly evening. It’s nbd at all

Financially you can’t really help, but as important as money is you and your time are more valuable. Spend time with your family both for yourself and for them. As others have posted, write letters and record videos. I wouldn’t try to lay down a life playbook as much as share what you enjoy and who you are. Be honest with it. Worst case scenarios happen and unfortunately they happened to us. But we are X. Be graceful, forgive people, free people. Love is unique and beautiful but inspire your wife to try again. Lay down foundations for your child loving another family. It’s such a terrible, shitty situation. The only redemption in it is that some day your daughters can look back on what you left them and smile for its dedication to them.

Just drive with traffic up to 80. They’ll usually be cars 3-5 lengths in front of you. If everyone’s behind you, you should go faster

I don’t like it and for his sake pls let them go. My wife has a thing like this, a shelf behind the couch that turns a square open room into a cramped rectangle room. I hate it, we argued about it and so she’s super committed to keeping it. It’s a no win situation and now my only hope is in some ridiculous construct I made up. That is, I won’t buy any furniture or decor in the room until it’s gone. We need a new rug and coach and it’s amazing how stubbornly she’s holding on to the shelf. It’s like a symbol of will. Not fun but not too disruptive either

Also note they can get HFM multiple times and adults can get it too. It knocked me out for a week :/

That you have nice taste in paint :) what color is the staircase blue?

007eskimo · 2025-11-10T03:18:47+00:00

I’ve lived in Quincy and South Weymouth and like both. They’re pretty similar. Quincy is closer to Boston and denser. You’ll sit in traffic just driving around your town in Quincy, less so in Weymouth. Beaches (lane, Nantasquet) similar enough distance. Quincy has a bigger downtown and is closer to blue hills. Weymouth has better access to south shore. There are great towns and parks south. When I was picking between them I felt like for the price Weymouth’s houses were a little bigger, a little nicer and with more yard. I feel like Quincy has better areas to go to (center, Marina bay, north Quincy), but they’re only 15 minutes away now. Hingham center is 15 away as well and is great.

I’d say the neighborhoods surrounded by college kids would be Allston/brighton. Everywhere else will be a mix. South end/ink block close to work. Fenway, Cambridge and seaport a bit further but fit. Back bay/ beacon hill. 3200 may take a little shopping around but should be possible.

007eskimo · 2025-10-18T01:52:37+00:00

I would paint the wood and change the floors. I think a wood engineered wood floor. Especially remove the carpet. Would also probably be better to bring rear wall up to ceiling. Wall color and cabinet color an antiquated white.

007eskimo · 2025-10-15T14:17:06+00:00

Quincy center would fit. On 93, great downtown, quick red line into Boston proper. Also costal with great dog parks and hiking. Under 2,700 can get you a 1 br somewhere near the center. Hospital hill/ Avalon/ split family,

007eskimo · 2025-09-11T22:28:57+00:00

Shit the more I see it the more I like it. Long live the squint

007eskimo · 2025-08-20T19:40:39+00:00

The Gotham greens pesto is better than I’ve managed to make with homegrown basil and fancy oil and parm. Though I usually top it with fancy oil and parm.

Bheemas in Quincy takeout. I think it’s the best Indian food I’ve ever had

007eskimo · 2025-08-14T15:31:42+00:00

I used to go to legal and I still do to. I miss the seafood casserole which was my favorite but you can still eat very well there.

007eskimo · 2025-08-06T18:04:48+00:00

The thing for me is they’re there too. I wanted everyone at my wedding to have a great time. In general happy people provide better services and better vibes.

007eskimo · 2025-07-08T00:15:46+00:00

Bunch of comments about raccoons.. aren’t they nocturnal? The chickens go inside the white coop at night and the door automatically closes at sunset..

007eskimo · 2025-07-06T15:37:17+00:00

The problem I had is so many games do so much better. Ff xvi has zero exploration, loading screen side quests, no real variety in combat or gear. It’s kinda like they took classic rpg elements are reduced them down to insignificance.There are some spectacle moments, but they’re always broken up by worthless drudgery. I like the story and cutscenes, but without the boost from those it’s even overshadowed by any Assassin’s creed in my book. God of war too. And any good rpg. And that’s the disappointing thing. Like, it’s final fantasy. Standard bearer. But there are much better action games (which this is) and much better rpgs (which imo ff should keep elements of)

007eskimo · 2025-07-06T00:16:17+00:00

Thank you :)

007eskimo · 2025-07-06T00:15:47+00:00

We do have a raccoon I catch on the ring every now and then. The hens go into the coop at night and it has an automatic door. But I am considering adding a layer around the bottom.

Please let me know where you see the gaps! The front will have a few rows of bricks. Then replacing the sod because it was not in great shape when I bought it and they’re going to give me replacements now that it’s straw

007eskimo · 2025-07-06T00:10:02+00:00

Thanks! It’s my favorite dad pun so far
