Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
Mah green grass!!!! On the use of incandescent Christmas lights, you could also try to rig a halogen spotlight on a stake - get an outdoor halogen with an outdoor rated spike and maybe find a way to shine it onto the fixture. Not too close... they can throw off a lot of heat. I've used them in my little greenhouses to move a ton of contiainer plants and keep them alive during freezes. We'll see how it all worked out when I take apart my "system" on Saturday. Last time we got to 22 or so, they did the trick. Can post pictures later for those trying to save container plants without moving them all into the garage.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston? Non-CR thread
I do miss their margaritas although no shortage here in Austin.

I went to the Mohawk page and found the event on their calendar. It says you can get two tickets but it only allowed me to check out with one in my cart. "Bought" one and then went back and redid it with my wife's name. Seemed to work. Here's another one for country/bluegrass fans. Tony Kamel is solid... he's from my part of town in Houston. Good guy, talented. Sentimental Family Band making a name for themselves. This one is free, as well.

We left Houston in 2020. If I had my choice, I would live in the Heights, too, but honestly I have zero interest in moving back to Houston. I used to live off of Memorial and while I great up in the area and loved living there, I just couldn't. Really been very happy with moving back to Austin for a laundry list of reasons. Now, if only I could pick up Phoenicia on Westheimer and move it to somewhere in south Austin (no no... not that lame ass Phoenicia on S. Lamar) Edit: we were zoned to Memorial when we moved. In a weird way, I'm glad we don't have to deal with the general MHS parent population and their entitled children. F off if you disagree... lived in the area for decades... that's what its like. There's also a subset of SHS that thinks they are MHS parents.- Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
Had a call with someone in Green Bay, WI this morning. Temperature difference between Green Bay and our house was 8 degrees.- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
The Italians tend to reserve their choice words for anyone from the African continent. They're not big fans of Albanians or Romanians either.- SXSW 2025

Side note on CB. Rambo sucks. I've looked over and see no reason to ski it. Locals will tell you... "Those who can, don't. Those who do, shouldn't". Want a last challenge? Ski over to the next run, Pinball. F Rambo.- Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?

For any of you lucky to go to CB this year and who like to push yourself, these are great guides (below). If you can, join the Steeps Program one day with a guide... I think it is under $200 and they'll show you around the mountain... absolutely worth it. I've done it twice at CB. One time it was me and the guide. The other time it was just two of us. I would say you need to be level 8/9 to properly take advantage of the program... The two times I've done it wasn't always super clear where we were although I specifically remember we did go into Teo Bowl, all over North Face/Hawks Nest/Old Pro, parts of Spellbound Bowl, Last Steep, Headwall, Powder 8 Gully, Big Chute, Peel. The better the snow, the happier you will be. Teo Bowl is absolutely worth it but you have to hike out. If the snow is good, there are some great little gladed spots between Silver Queen and Ruby Road. They can hold snow and you can get a few quick steep turns and drop onto Ruby Road (watch out below for cross traffic). Avoid Robel's - it sucks. Again, do not F around in the bowls if you don't know where you are going. One wrong turn can take you to Last Steep (double but fine) or Cesspool (not fine) North Face - https://gunnisoncrestedbutte.com/blog/a-guide-to-skiing-the-north-face/ High Lift - https://gunnisoncrestedbutte.com/blog/skiing-crested-butte-extremes-from-the-high-lift/ East River - https://gunnisoncrestedbutte.com/blog/glade-skiing/# (fun area) Paradise Express - https://gunnisoncrestedbutte.com/blog/intermediate-and-advanced-crested-butte-skiing-from-paradise-express-lift/ Best Doubles - https://gunnisoncrestedbutte.com/blog/best-double-black-ski-runs-at-crested-butte/- Papers, please.

I mean, there's "a bit" of racism in Spain. Same goes for Italy. You should see the stuff my uncle in Rome sends me.- SXSW 2025

Those bumps under Ruby Road are fun! Best mountain Colorado. My son's first DD was on the North Face. It was a proud moment for me.- Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?

We took one trip to Purgatory back in 2021... I thought it was pretty nice. What's great about Purgatory is that if you are a good skier, you can enjoy lots of great runs with very little competition. Lots of Texans go to Purgatory. Yes, I know... I live in Texas... but what I'm saying is lots of Texans who ski like Texans go to Purgatory. That means you can ride the first lift up, head over to the backside and run laps on some of the more challenging runs, often by yourself. Same goes for some on the front side but then you have to start from the base. Plus, Durango is a great town!- Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
Yup, snow is coming down on Circle C Bowl. lifts spinning at 9:00! Hike-to-terrain will be open at noon when the gates open to Escarpment chute.- Italian
No worries... we are slightly opinionated when it comes to our food It like me telling a guitar player "this guitar is basically like that one". My son who is an OK musician will get into arguments with me about the tone of a telecaster.- Italian

You should block those Italians from your Facetube- SXSW 2025

Austin Rhythm one... mostly unknown to me so I feel confident most of what you're seeing here is not local. For the one at Colton House, I recognize a handful... go see Rattlesnake Milk. Anyway, I personally love discovering new bands. This one's good and local... have seen three bands on here... will be interesting to see the set times. - What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston?
