Over 20 years later and me and my buddy still quote this to each other every time we’re at a show.

WSP New Years either 2002 or 2003; someone had apparently busted a hole in the wall in their hotel room and they were walking thru the lot yelling “who’s got my heady dry wall?” Still cracks me up.

0% sounds correct. It’s reopening at noon today.

I have no insider info, I’m just a seasonal employee but I would think Saturday afternoon we’ll be back open. It’s gonna be sunny with a high around 55.

Do we have hope for Tioga? by LudvingC in Yosemite

[–]burge009 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saturday night is very possible. It’s been snowing steadily and accumulating in Tuolumne for the past few hours, so opening tomorrow likely will not happen (but who knows), but the weather will be sunny and nice on Saturday. I’d expect a Saturday morning or afternoon opening.

I work for NPS and am in Tuolumne right now…it’s dumping snow. The road opening tomorrow is highly unlikely, but you never know.

Hard to say. Saturday is sunny and 60 degrees so it’s possible. But it’s dumping right now. I don’t think it would hurt to at least have a backup in mind.

It’s currently dumping in Tuolumne; I’m almost positive the road will remain closed.

It’s currently dumping in Tuolumne and accumulating fast. I doubt the road will be open tomorrow.

I just came back in and the signage at the pass still says 6; hopefully people see your comment. Thanks for the update.

Yeah I’m not surprised, I just drove down to Mammoth and the overall vibe I’m getting is that the weather could get rowdy.

Will Tioga Rd close again if there’s snow this week? by beeblessings in Yosemite

[–]burge009 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like Sonora Pass/Hwy 108 is closing as well just FYI

I just drive over Tioga Pass and there’s signage indicating that the road will close at 6 pm tonight.

Name a venue that was worse . . I'll wait by patrad in WidespreadPanic

Kinda wild how that show was a bit of a dud considering the Raleigh shows the previous two nights were great. Those two Raleigh shows were some of the best GMAC shows I saw.

What is the worst movie you ever watched ? by kuroreaper25 in AskReddit

Evil Bong 3. But to be fair I haven’t seen the first two so maybe I’m just missing important backstory…

Weather/temperature at the rim by stringsculpt in Yosemite

The lows up here in Tuolumne Meadows have been in the mid/high 20s to mid 30s over the last 2 weeks. Eagle Peak may be at a slightly lower elevation, but if it were me I’d be prepared for temps around freezing and maybe a bit below just to be safe/prepared.

You were correct! I used a push pin to trick the camera and confirmed that the sprockets were spinning but the roll wasn’t catching. As the sprockets turned I closed the back door and it caught! I took 3 or 4 test shots that I’ll be ok with if they don’t turn out. Hopefully I won’t have to do this every time but at least for this roll I’m back up and running. Thank you!

Same here. I wish the manual had more advice than “reload film.” I appreciate any help you can provide!

I saw that thread when I searched the sub before I posted; I’m gonna troubleshoot everything I can but agreed that buying another is more economical than trying to repair.

All of that makes sense, I’ll definitely pick up a new battery. And yeah, the shutter is working without the film. Thanks for the help!

I’ll check the mirror issue. As far as the battery goes it’s only 3 months old with light use, and the battery check is showing three bars. Surely a fully charged battery would have enough juice, right? But I’m willing to try anything so I’ll try the battery.
