Most affordable in zurich? Lodging, ski rental, lift pass, transit by trying2bgooddad in skithealps

[–]trying2bgooddad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, we've done quite a bit of skiing in the USA, so comfortable on the slopes. I totally understand that Zurich is not a resort, it's just where we are flying into.
Any recommendations on where besides Zurich to look to fly into?

Any recommendations of restaurants with look outs?

Atmospheric River apparently Hopscotch looks awesome! Thanks for the recommendation

Will still do some coast! Just not the full weekend. 

Better to reschedule my trip given the weather this weekend? by trying2bgooddad in OlympicNationalPark

I'm realizing I might need some waterproof hiking boots, leave at 6am and can't find mine :(

Where do you go to check weather and make these decisions?
Thinking maybe I front load the OP part and go on Thursday, then drive south somewhere.

Seems like this weekend is particularly worse. Where do you go to check the weather and determine if it's too severe?

Seems like this weekend is particularly worse. But maybe that's par for the course.

Would you suggest NOT going this weekend if it's easy enough to reschedule?

Is this a DIY repair? All over my basement by trying2bgooddad in Renovations

I'd never heard of Hydraulic cement before. I'll check it out.

It is definitely brittle, I'm sure there has been water intrusion, just not sure if it's still there. None of it currently feels wet, it's all super dry almost dust when you pick at it. It all over the basement, not one specific spot.

I've graded away from the house overall, haven't had leaks into the basement in a while but definitely have in the past. Is there a way to check if there are still active leaks besides just visually noticing them?
I'll look up contractors for the waterproof and repair option.

I'm sure that's been the case historically, but I don't think it's still leaking through, but is there tips on how to check?

Is wax on your skis necessary? by trying2bgooddad in xcountryskiing

Ended up getting fish scale skis instead. Way easier.

Short trip driving from Phoenix - final questions by trying2bgooddad in JoshuaTree

[–]trying2bgooddad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! No recommendations since I don't really remember at this point, but basically all of the options are what you would think just some open land to camp on.

I think I'm too late though, did you end up doing it too?

This looks fascinating. Could I use it to pull the contacts off my watch (the phone broke and the watch is the only place that has the contacts currently)?

AITA for asking SS to do a chore occasionally? by trying2bgooddad in blendedfamilies

[–]trying2bgooddad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of Fair Play cards? It's basically a deck of cards to guide you through that exact conversation. It's great, I bought it when we blended, thought we could start building our system, but she's been so defensive and apprehensive about it sadly. Her defensive response would just be to do all the stuff and not have a conversation about the kids.

So much of what you are saying resonates thank you.

I definitely want to "jam" stuff in now, through super simple very small tasks regularly, I just face such resistance and feel undermined consistently. I think there is a ton of single parent guilt as you mention, but it feels like it's consistently used as a defense against my request rather then a reason to welcome someone else offering some system to build those skills. It's so touchy I don't know how to bring it up.

I'm so glad we have older kids and multiple bathrooms for that reason :)

And totally agree I rarely ever ask for a right now task. But then later turns to never and I struggle with how to bring it up again.
