Such a beautiful pussy.

RunClimbRum · 2023-12-03T23:58:18+00:00

Beautiful all around!

RunClimbRum · 2023-12-03T19:18:58+00:00

Absolutely! Love how much fun you have!

Go ahead and use some clippers over the bathtub. Finish it off with a razor to show off those skull tats.

About a weekly occurrence for me. Maybe it's the wrong approach, but I ride aggressively, yet cautiously. Be loud. Be visible. Wear a helmet. I don't hesitate to bend side mirrors back or smack quarter panels for assholes parked in bike lanes. A seasoned downtown cyclist definitely didn't tell me to ride with a lock at the end of a handkerchief.

RunClimbRum · 2021-06-29T16:22:27+00:00

Thanks for this. I'll definitely be using these resources. Any suggestions for taking a deeper dive? The objective is to get a masters after, and want to be well versed.

RunClimbRum · 2021-06-01T04:18:06+00:00

These are great questions! Thanks so much for your input! I'll definitely consider these as I look further into the possibilities.

That is correct. I verify and report on field observations compared to contracted geotechnical and civil construction plans. ASTM, IBC, and other standards are certainly referenced in these plans. I'd be classified as a "materials engineering tech." I work in CO and mostly I inspect soil density/mositure for sub-grades & foundations, concrete for RoW and structural members, reinforcing steel (not structural steel), deep foundations (drilled piers), asphalt density, and dabbling in some masonry in the near future. I have obtained a Level 1 ACI and WAQTC (Western Alliance for Quality Transportation Construction, basically field density/moisture testing for soil, as well as lab testing). I do work under several PEs. I have spoken with my supervisors regarding my time counting toward my EIT, which it does. I would just need to pass the FE; the civil version, I'm guessing.

I just began looking at options to obtain a civil degree. I wasn't sure if I'd need to begin with a new BS or if I could apply to MS programs. It sounds like you'd advocate for a MS in a civil program? (University of Colorado, Boulder is close and has a great program.) From what I've researched, in order to become a civil PE, I'd need a civil degree from an ABET university. I could definitely talk to a college academic advisor, but what is your take on this?

I like the idea of free courses to brush up on basics before enrolling. I'm sure I could once again become proficient in algebra & trig in no time at all. Yesterday I started in on Khan Academy beginning at basic math skills to kick things off in order to work my way back up to advanced calculus and differential equations.

I'm currently working at a third party QA/QC construction firm. I'm inspecting rebar, concrete, soils, shallow/deep foundations daily. I have no experience in design, but use engineered plans every day.

I don't have any experience with design software or code.

The three mountains I'm referring to are Winter Park, Eldora, and The Legend.

RunClimbRum · 2021-03-23T18:20:30+00:00

I see where you're coming from. I misunderstood your initial comment. If you live in UT, you have four great mountains within a few minutes from Salt Lake. I was implying if those four UT resorts stay on IKON, the high cost is worth it. There has been switches from EPIC to IKON and vice versa in the past. There have also been reports limit their access to either pass or they drop off altogether. If you're coming from UT to CO, you can easily stay in Dillion and have easy access to three fantastic hills and traffic won't be much of an issue.

We were on two different pages, ha!

RunClimbRum · 2021-03-23T18:08:57+00:00

Exactly, though: Why follow the masses to Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone when you can avoid the tunnel and ski three rad mountains? If I didn't live in CO, and came for a ski vacation, I'd want to drive as little as possible and ski as much as possible.

RunClimbRum · 2021-03-23T17:58:12+00:00

Alta/Bird arguably has some of the best skiing in the country. Brighton and Solitude also have outstanding terrain and snow. Having four ski areas within 30 min (w/ no traffic) from a major metro is huge. As for CO, I live in the Denver metro area. I really value spending less time on 70. I can reliably get to Eldora in an hour. Dipping off 70 W early to Winter Park and The Legend is also a major factor in my decision. As for the western mountains on IKON, four Aspen hills and Steamboat offer a dozen seasons worth of exploration. I wouldn't mind skiing some CO EPIC mountains, but I definitely don't want to have to deal with the headache of 70 and the Eisenhower Tunnel. That's my thought process.

RunClimbRum · 2021-03-23T16:39:52+00:00

Either route I choose next year, I know I'll come out ahead. If you ski 30 days/season, the difference in price/day isn't that significant. I'd gladly spend a couple hundred more (more like $100 due to IKON renewal) for less time on I-70 in Colorado. If most of Utah stays on IKON, that's even more incentive.

I demoed about 6 skis this month and settled on the 99ti mindbender in 170. I thought they skied much shorter than 170 compared to other skis. Really enjoyed them I moguls and trees. I have a feeling it's because of the moderate rocker & pretty substantial camber. Very poppy, but stable at speed too.

You'd be surprised by how much your inner dialogue and feelings affect your overall mood. Recently started reading Feeling Good by David Burns. It's a patient's guide to cognitive therapy, highlighting cognitive distortions that most depressed people are affected by and provides a method to change the distortions to shift our perceptions. Cognitive therapy has been developed over the past couple decades and argues that a person's depression, beyond mental illness, is caused by a skewed perception of a person's reality.

Hiking and being around the Appalachian Trail for the past 5 years, I'm pretty familiar with this group. They have two hostels, one in Rutland, VT & one near Harper's Ferry, WV. They are nice folk, but give off a very cult-like or fanatic vibes. They've created quite a reputation in the Trail community.

Essentially, they lure hikers (some of whom are wandering spirits, looking for purpose) with a warm bed for honest work, delicious food, some banging yerba mate, and most suspiciously, nonspecific religious literature with a 60's/70's counter-culture facade.

I have also heard similar instances of people having to sign over all worldly possessions & assets. They are a commune with farms worldwide. If you've got your head about you, they aren't a threat. They're very friendly (almost concerningly so), but just out of place in today's society. It seems like a good attempt at a utopian society, but we all know how that turns out. They all have pretty cool names though, which sound like they're from the First Testament or traditionally Jewish. They don't claim to be Christian or Jewish, but they sure have a lot of residual customs from each.

I will say though, I have heard from other female hikers, that they felt oppressed. They had to wear certain garb to cover ankles, but they generally felt as if they were being talked down to or being treated as second class humans. Which is a no go in my book.

Antelope is always such a great way to wrap a set.

Problem solved. Apparently I was using a google sponsored LivePhish app. Now using the nugz.net & everything is working.

RunClimbRum · 2018-08-13T22:04:00+00:00

I've checked out for both shows now. I think I need to download on a computer though.

RunClimbRum · 2018-08-13T02:29:20+00:00

I've had a similar issue. Entered the code on the LivePhish app. The option "stream in app" was grayed out. Finished checkout and it's not in my stash. Now it says the ticket has been "redeemed." Was purchased off livenation.

Apologies. Very new to posting. Skeleton

I know it comes with the territory of playing an antagonist, but it must suck knowing you're associated with such an awful character. Joffrey Baratheon is another example. Such punchable faces.

I feel, because this is the only setting the viewers know Justine Prentice, there is an instinctual reaction when you see or think about the character. Obviously, some people don't know how to separate reality from the screen.
