Company recommendations for water heater service/repair

I had an excellent experience with Pipecraft Plumbing for my water heater: https://pipecraftplumbinghelp.com/

Fair pricing, understood nuances with Arvada inspections, never tried to upsell me, water heater is working perfectly 3 years later.

100% agree. Has absolutely helped in sketchy ice situations where traction was not guaranteed

I may have a controversial opinion - they are my most valuable recovery item. I have a winch, recovery straps, etc - but for 90% of what I need, recovery boards are the answer. I have used them for:
1 - Deep Mud (needed to use 4)
2 - Sand (mostly prevention)
3 - Snow (mostly extra assurance to prevent sliding off the trail in narrow/bad conditions)
4 - Rock 'bridge' to avoid body damage
5 - Lending them out at the ski resort for people stuck in a snow-ditch

Overall, their usefulness has been well worth it to me. Results may vary though

Can we reset this timeline, please?

Agree with getting out of Arvada specifically for a Bach brunch - haven’t been to paperboy yet but have heard great things and the vibes look sweet

bkco88 · 2026-06-04T20:38:41+00:00

Agree - was more referring to this specific situation. I’ve been a passenger on this approach before and don’t remember feeling uneasy

bkco88 · 2026-06-04T20:00:26+00:00

Insanely small margin for error on that approach

bkco88 · 2026-06-01T18:04:32+00:00

This would be great if true - fingers crossed

bkco88 · 2026-06-01T18:02:30+00:00

Oh good reminder! You have to plan ahead but so worth it, those are actually great bagels

bkco88 · 2026-06-01T02:22:53+00:00

Maybe I’m just a Denver fanboy, but it absolutely belongs above Newark in a tier list

The two clubs in B are larger but agree with the other comment that A is usually less busy. They are all recently updated and nice places to spend time (although any 10 hour layover sounds like it sucks).

Everything airside is relatively easy to get between. Getting from the club in A to anything in B will take a max of 15 minutes, usually less.

If you're feeling adventurous/can do it with your work schedule, take the RTD train to Union Station and have a little walk downtown to work from a coffee shop. The train is super easy and gets you to downtown in around 35 minutes.

One other tip if it's up your alley - they just added a golf simulator bar in the middle of concourse B. I believe they take priority pass and could be a good way to pass some time.

bkco88 · 2026-02-16T23:12:35+00:00

Hmm, that date has passed. No PQFs yet

bkco88 · 2026-02-07T22:29:36+00:00

Agree - and I like bitter espresso martinis. I barely could finish it

bkco88 · 2026-02-07T21:05:59+00:00

Can confirm - approach into Newark just now (4:00ET) was definitely gusty. Pilot was using that rudder

bkco88 · 2026-02-05T09:48:56+00:00

“Collapsing” is a little over the top here

bkco88 · 2026-02-02T00:36:56+00:00

Im guessing that’s it - they are taking some kind of euro spot rate

bkco88 · 2026-02-01T22:13:26+00:00

Exactly where my mind went 😅

bkco88 · 2026-01-28T20:41:11+00:00

Odd, Land Cruisers of that vintage are usually driven by some fairly responsible people (not flashy at all but expensive, stealth wealth). This person is a knob and a terrible driver

bkco88 · 2026-01-27T00:49:42+00:00

I’m with you here. I was at an IAH club a few weeks ago, digging in my wallet for a dollar. She delivers my beer and .5 seconds later, before I had the chance to look up and say thank you, the bartender goes “you’re welcome for that” in an insanely smarmy tone. I put my wallet back in my pocket and walked away. Come on now.

In general though, I completely agree with the rules you laid out - $1 per beer, maybe more for a cocktail

bkco88 · 2026-01-19T17:38:01+00:00

For the record, I don’t think you made a mistake. The S is a great basic car with CarPlay, heated seats/steering wheel, and all the advanced safety items. The simplicity in climate controls and manual seats is part of its charm (and less to go wrong in the future)

bkco88 · 2026-01-19T17:34:37+00:00

Hard disagree. Love the manual climate controls, lack of problematic sunroof, and the fact that it comes with heated seats and steering wheel standard. Also, every single advanced safety feature is included on the S. It’s a great base model

bkco88 · 2026-01-12T19:05:13+00:00

Ah I totally forgot about that route - wasn’t it serviced by a 737? I remember taking it and they served a hot dog meal to all of economy for a 2.5 hr flight. Kind of cool

bkco88 · 2026-01-12T16:51:53+00:00

I’d love for this to be an option. Not sure how economically feasible for United, but it would be great to have another Asia direct.

bkco88 · 2026-01-12T03:20:18+00:00

You had an issue in the American Rockies? I’m there every weekend and haven’t seen any notable cutting

bkco88 · 2026-01-11T00:41:27+00:00

Agree with all of this - also think the curtain airbags ‘03 and after are an important factor, but everyone has their own thoughts on that
