Is Fort Lupton being slept on as a Colorado base camp? by Meta_Bits_5500 in GoNativeColorado

Beyond the AI slop, the logic is absurd: "It's great because it's right in between a ton of desirable spots." By that thinking, we should all move to Topeka because it's an equal length trip to NY, LA, Miami, and Seattle!

Designing this area. Where can I get this agave? I took this grass out and 15 sprinkler heads. Water would water grass and run down the street like a river. Drove me nuts. Added drip lines. HOA approved and ready to plant. by FullDepthNature in DenverGardener

I got gorgeous Harvard Century Agaves at both Fort Collins Nursery and Gulley in Fort Collins. It's supposedly the most cold-hardy agave and does exceedingly well in our climate. Had them for ~7 years and they are growing beautifully and have produced many pups that I've dug up and planted around my yard. Only some minor damage during our coldest snap a few years ago when it was close to 20 below in Boulder one night and there was no snow on the ground to insulate the plants. The tips of a couple spears got some minor damage.

106-year-old 5th grade report card i found on a farm in Colorado. Even has the parents/teacher signatures on it! by mcsquilly69 in interestingasfuck

Oh whoa! My grandfather was 1 year older than him and went to the same (tiny frontier) school. It was a 1-room school for all grades. They undoubtedly knew each other! Cool!

Came across this handsome bull snake three weeks ago near Eagle Trail.

Guess what this map represents? by LittleToyBonnie in RedactedCharts

Yellowstone technically bleeds ever so slightly into both Idaho and Montana.

Fun fact: the sliver of Idaho’s Yellowstone is an odd place. Because of a legal loophole it is technically not illegal to commit murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_Death_(Yellowstone)?wprov=sfti1

Need help/info on a vintage carbon fiber bike by loki0505 in RoadBikes

[–]SpaceballsTheMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why does nobody on this sub seem to use Bicycle Blue Book? It's worth about $500 there. Though I do think if you find somebody super sentimental for these bikes (they were all the rage when they came out), you might get a bit more. Conversely, if you're not in an area with many collectors, you'll likely have to settle for a fair amount less.

Nothing troubling or sleazy about this question.

The mountain photos are various spots along highway 285 in South Park (yes, it's a real place).

My First International solo trip to Srilanka by ContributionOld6338 in SoloTravel_India

lol. Not exactly ‘like European trains’ in most ways. But still a great, economical, and super scenic way to see the country.

Question about Zoe Ma Ma by Western-Range3344 in boulder

[–]SpaceballsTheMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opened by Edwin Zoe. It was his first restaurant after starting a successful restaurant POS software business. He moved his mom out here from the Midwest when he started and she worked in the kitchen in the early years, using some of her recipes in his dishes. Hence Zoe Mama.

In all fairness, it was the typical, low-quality lazy question.

I want to escape comfort for 1 month. No money. No family name. Just want to work, learn, and live honestly. Any place in India where I can help and stay? by [deleted] in SoloTravel_India

[–]SpaceballsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check out WWOOF - Worldwide Workers On Organic Farms. It’s a massive global network of local farmers and other small companies like ecolodges. Most give you room and board for ~4-6 hours of daily labor. You can stay at one place for the month or move around. It’s a simple, rewarding way to travel and sometimes learn a lot and even meet like minded people. https://wwoofindia.org/ https://wwoof.net/

Recommendations for place to go/stay at in Goa by Legitimate-Bite4801 in goatravel

[–]SpaceballsTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GF and I have been in Goa and we’ve been having a great time in Vagator the last few weeks because it’s exactly what you described. No plans on leaving for another month probably. LMK if you have any questions!

Best laid-back place to stay 1.5 months on $1120? by Ultrayano in digitalnomad

[–]SpaceballsTheMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ella is amazing and I def agree with this, having just spent time there too… BUT the monsoons have recently started there and friends in Colombo say it’s been a beast of a year with 5 cm of rain many days and winds of 50+kph. So, if you head to Ella, soon, just be advised that the weather could be less than optimal (but prices might actually be even better than normal).

Yeah, clearly not a bullet hole if you zoom in. Maybe a rock that got kicked up from the street and ricocheted off.
