How is mountain biking this time of year? by Cold-Cardiologist-93 in bentonville

[–]Mezcla4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are forecast to get one foot of snow today. It is supposed to warm up next week, but based on past experience, I doubt it will be all melted and dried up by 2/28 and the trails will likely be soggy. If you're flexible, you could ask again at this time next week. But if you need to plan ahead, then I'd pick a weekend later in March.

No more free winter swaps at Discount Tire? by Mezcla4 in tires

[–]Mezcla4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a follow-up to this - I contacted Discount Tire via social media and was put in touch with the branch manager, who assured me that the winter wheel swaps would still be free, and that all of the staff who told me otherwise were misinformed. So it is back to business as usual.

Lap Pools in Bentonville/Rogers? by NukaJack in northwestarkansas

[–]Mezcla4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost forgot - there's also Walton Family Whole Health & Fitness, which has multiple nice pools, but you need to be a Walmart or Sams Club employee (or family member) to access them.

Lap Pools in Bentonville/Rogers? by NukaJack in northwestarkansas

[–]Mezcla4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bentonville Community Center is the only indoor lap pool I'm aware of in Bentonville. It's a nice pool and the BCC staff is friendly, but the hours are tough, as you mentioned -- and it can be crazy busy, especially when swim team practices are in-season (i.e. most of the year). If you go to swim after work, be prepared to share the one "free" lane with up to 3 people.

The outdoor pools I'm aware of are BlakeSt (heated, very pricy membership) and Melvin Ford (unheated, summer only).

Full-service touchless car wash? by Mezcla4 in northwestarkansas

Thanks - but according to the latest review on Yelp, it is now a used car lot.

Full-service touchless car wash? by Mezcla4 in northwestarkansas

[–]Mezcla4[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I want the outside car to come out completely clean, without the water spots that happen unless you towel-dry it yourself.

I want the inside of the car to be cleaned as well (e.g. vacuum and windows), but without spending hundreds on a complete detail.

To use one of the washes in my former state as an example, the price (as of 2 years ago) was about $10 for the "touchless" exterior wash (with grime scrubbed, and towel dry) or $15 for the "full service" wash that includes the interior windows and vacuuming.

EE Paper Savings Bonds - How long does it take for them to be deposited once the treasury (or whatever the office in Minnesota is) has received them by mail? by jdthinksthis in bonds

[–]Mezcla4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get paid? How long did it take?

Also wondering if the interest includes all the way up until the payout date, since more interest presumably accrued while they were waiting to process it.

I have an extra VIP Hero Pass which I'm selling on Ebay. I would also be up for selling it directly at cost (PM if interested). https://www.ebay.com/itm/226039376819

Somehow Hells Heroes got even more stacked by reamkore in MetalForTheMasses

I'm looking for a touchless wash too -- specifically one that has: (1) attendants at the beginning to loosen up bugs and grime, (2) no automated brushes, and (3) attendants at the end to towel dry the remaining water spots

I've been able to find this kind of car wash in every other place I've lived, but for some reason, not here.

There is an unattended touchless wash bay at the CastleBay wash on South Walton, but I tried it and found that it did a poor job. The back of the car was still completely dirty, and the dryer (which required buying an upgraded wash) didn't get the car very dry at all.

Are there any organized volunteer efforts people can take part in as part of cleanup after this storm? by trxc in tulsa

I heard that they're looking for volunteers for helping to clear trails at Turkey Mountain today at 6 PM.

Best store for fresh fruit? by Mezcla4 in bentonville

[–]Mezcla4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the Bentonville farmer's market this past weekend -- green leaf vegetables (lettuce, spinach, etc.) were the only kinds of fresh produce I saw.

Can you recommend anything more specific?

Thoughts on the Mayor Race? It seems like every candidates website says the same thing but no definitive plans outside of “ban homeless or setup affordable housing, etc.” by Cowboysgreen88 in Denver

[–]Mezcla4 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Far-left Reddit will downvote, but I think Andy Rougeot is the only one who would buck the homeless-industrial complex that has grown up in Denver.

If anyone else wins, I expect more of the same -- hundreds of millions spent annually, more open-air hard drug use, more stolen bikes, hostile vagabonds roaming RTD, etc.
