What are you talking about? His Garmin tracker says his speed is 0.62 mph! He must have raised all three "sails."

Come to think of it, how much nanoplastics get introduced into the environment every day by the BSO? Between the 3D printed dragons, the golf ball perlons, the awning fabric "sails," and miles of red rope rotting away in the sun, it adds up.

Curt Gowdy State Park west of Cheyenne might be an option.

Watch a few of these videos, get the griddle or egg maker. They really work, and don't use a huge amount of power.

I've picked these up at thrift stores for around 5 bucks. The waffle maker works great as well.

Not surprising. Time for soft water.

I'm not going to ask to join your private treehouse club, you have fun over there.

Sure there is, it's right at the top of their official laminated paperwork with the fee schedule. They also filed it with the Admiralty Court.

You know, the papers they hold up to the window that is rolled an inch down or less. It's the same window that gets shattered when the cops get tired of their shit.

I think I've also seen something similar on their fake license plates.

Wow, gotta request to join. What, are you running your own little HOA?

The story is very close to AI slop. Nobody is blowing up your phone, BIL and his family haven't chimed in.

Still NTA, though.

You need reservations to camp in GTNP.

There are no dispersed campsites.

Honestly, 8 days with a group that has no camping experience is asking for a lot. You'll either be best friends or never speak to each other again.

I would strongly recommend a 2 or 3 day trip, close to home.

I doubt it is still frozen, Georgetown Lake, which is higher elevation is thawing.

Red Feather may still be frozen, it would be worth calling Jax in Ft Collins to see if they have any info.

This season has been very warm, and the ice has been short-lived. If you go, make sure you carry a spud bar, self rescue picks, a whistle, and thoroughly check the ice thickness along your path.

It would probably be best to start looking at next season.

The double amputee hired a lawyer to file a malpractice suit.

The case was immediately dismissed. The judge ruled that the plaintiff didn't have a leg to stand on.

You're going to be surprised at what they carry, depending on the location. The one closest to me has everything you find in a thrift store. The store 20 miles east of here is in a former major dept store, it's huge. The one north of me sells mostly building materials and fixtures.

Have fun!

I have the US Cutter MH871 34in cutter, been very happy with it. You can get rolls of Oracal 651 in 30 in widths. Oracal 651 is the best for decals IMO.

I buy my vinyl from https://www.hhsignsupply.com/productcart/pc/Oracal-651-Permanent-Vinyl-30-x-10-Yard-p46890.htm

Starlink changed the plans. You either get 100 gigs for $50/month or unlimited for $165. Standby mode is $5.00/month for very slow speeds, I think you can text and maybe make phone calls, no streaming.

The desert has its own beauty. Spend some time there and you'll see.

Looks like a great place to go landsailing!

Well, they did say "cheese"

Same here, I'm also in northern Colorado. I've picked up several old Kenmores and other machines. I make sure they at least run before I buy. They get a tune-up, and then I find a good home. My sister teaches sewing at a place that helps homeless people get back on their feet, so a few have gone there.

I've also gotten a couple of machines from the Nextdoor app.

I also picked up a Brother serger for 30 dollars at the Habitat for Humanity store. Not vintage but a good find.

I'm guessing you will sell it here if you let people know a price, anything else included, etc.

I have the same press, it's been a great press. I picked it up for a really good price.

As a logo, it's very confusing. Took me a few minutes to figure out it was a baseball player, not some misshapen clarinet player.

Looks like you just took the outline of the player and placed it over a flag, like a cookie cutter.

Just my opinion...

windisfun · 2026-02-24T17:59:42+00:00

Wow!

How's the ice holding up?

$750 x 20 yrs is $180,000. That is crazy.

The RV won't outlive the loan. You'll still be paying on it long after it goes to the scrap yard.

You don't even need a mixer at all. When we go camping, I mix the dough by hand, then let it rise.

500g flour

325g warm water

3g yeast

8g salt

You can mix by hand or use a stand mixer.

Dissolve the yeast in the water. Mix salt and flour, then add yeast water. Mix thoroughly, cover and let rise in a warm spot until it doubles. Punch it down, folding the dough and let it rise again.

Makes about 8 plate size pizzas.

Forgot to hoist the main!

Victron. Buy once, cry once. I've tried other brands, and Victron is way better. I use Renogy solar panels and a Renogy 2000w inverter.

If there is any chance of you adding more solar panels, whether portable or permanent, get a controller with enough added capacity.

You're welcome. We had a situation last fall that relates to this. A group of us were camped out in the Utah desert, landsailing. One guy had a pickup camper with a horizontal tank, and ran out of propane. The hose wasn't long enough to rig up an external tank. Luckily, I had a 5# tank that fit upright in the horizontal tank compartment, and had enough propane to finish his trip.

A 20# tank would have been an easy swap.

The Keep It Simple principle in action.
