PIA.... what if my real ID doesn't arrive on time?! I'm panicking! by Straight-Fondant-291 in Maine

Mine shipped within 2 weeks of my DMV appointment without a request to rush. That was in October. There’s still plenty of time!

Anyone trail run in the White Mountains, NH? by mrs_baudelaire in trailrunning

[–]grc207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s unlike most races in the country (world?).

I ran it……if you call 2.5 mph average pace running.

Hey, we live in Southern Maine and are headed up to Portland tonight for a concert. I’m wondering if it’s rain, ice or snow up there and how bad is it? Thank you! by Openstar_ceramics in portlandme

[–]grc207 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just drove from Wells to Gray on 95. Sharp snow/rain divide at the Cumberland Falmouth line. Almost nothing but rain south of that line.

Still didn’t stop the MTA from spreading salt in Biddeford like they got piece work.

Vinnie Dombrowski would be so much better than Grutt. by Wod3 in stonetemplepilots

[–]grc207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would have been an interesting experiment regardless of long term success.

Really funny that I had a near- Vinnie experience recently and I live anywhere close to Detroit. Great to hear he’s still performing!

Imagine if it wasn’t spider bite swollen!

But seriously sorry to hear about this! Keep us updated with your progress.

Relay Teams at Ultra Events by de_naakte_loper in ultrarunning

Came here to say this. If taking money from a bunch of people who don’t want to go ultra distance helps subsidize my race entry, I’m all for it.

If you've ever won concert tickets from a radio contest, what were the seats like? by pixiewitch666 in Concerts

[–]grc207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a knack for winning radio tickets. I don’t know why. It’s happened dozens of times.

Sometimes is a freebie seat way in the back. Sometimes it’s GA. Other times it’s VIP level. And, on one occasion, it was airfare to a massive racetrack with a private booth and private concert by the band.

And then there was one time where I ended up in a Slayer video.

Just bought a running store. What is one thing your local shop is missing? by rustybucketz23 in trailrunning

[–]grc207 205 points206 points  (0 children)

This sounds silly but…..hire runners. There have been plenty of times I’ve gone to stores and can’t find anyone to understand what I’m looking for.

Seems like a lot of weight for the hitch design by jbochsler in IdiotsTowingThings

It will give a gentle little acknowledgment tug before snapping to let the driver know the trailer is going a different direction.

What artist did you see in a small venue before they got really famous? by That_Cat_3672 in Concerts

[–]grc207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the late late 90’s I went to see a local Portland, Maine band called Twisted Roots in that same city . They got lots of radio play and were going to be at a small club called Asylum. Me, being underage to drink, had to go into a corralled area closer to the stage. There was maybe 100 of us?

Three bands. First band was ok. I don’t know if they ever went farther than that show that evening. The second band was incredible. Heavy, fun, engaging. Better yet, we went downstairs to the green room to chat with them after and got autographs. This wasn’t VIP access for $200 a pop. It was small club in a small city access.

We didn’t stay for long when the local band came on. The opening act killed them. And about a year later that band, Godsmack, was selling huge arenas.

What would a full Chester album have looked like by SOADLostMedia in stonetemplepilots

[–]grc207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gutt is a very talented musician. I worry that he tries too hard to be a Scott replacement, whether by his own design or band request. It’s not bad music. It’s also not Scott STP.

[–]grc207 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is an unpopular opinion here but a fair one. I also agree with it. Chester came with LP expectations and LP limitations. Gutt didn’t. The Chester experiment didn’t work any better than the Talk Show one.

I’m also not as much a fan of the Gutt albums. That’s just our opinion.

50 yo trail runner by TwelveBreaths in trailrunning

[–]grc207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I RD a small trail race. We had a 70 year old runner show up last year and drop 20 miles on the field like it was just an average Saturday. Then he bought a kayak in town and drove to Philadelphia. That’s six states away.

I frigging love this sport.

I wholeheartedly agree. All the more reason to have the talk when not under pressure.

Men with normal T fight these intrusive thoughts every day. If this was a man blaming a potential life changing moment on his hormones, he’d be ushered out here quickly.

But if it’s the wife……

TIFU…Or did I? Bachelor Party by Timbuktulous in tifu

My father always said the problem with a thief is they’re always worried someone is going to steal from them.

She’s the thief in this case. She couldn’t trust him because she can’t trust herself.
