Earache

So, as usual with storms, is it all hype and no substance from the local weather forecasters? Always predicting death, doom and despair and then delivering a cloudy day?

I tried to do some small parts years ago; it's a freakin' mess and the results weren't that good. I currently powdercoat stuff instead at my shop in Denver. Not smells, no mess (relatively) and faster to do.

I'm up early today at 4:30 AM and it's snowing! Ground still too warm for it to stick though, (it's 36F / 2C) . Wish it was light enough to get a picture for you guys. Radar shows the snow right over our house...

I had to cancel my Eastern USA trip scheduled for this week, but I'm headed back to Wyoming and Montana one week from today. It'll probably be over 40 degrees, but I'm not a pussy about heat like some people are.

Hello and welcome!

You can believe Tym, she was hot.....

I love nautical shit...

Cool pics - liked the thatched roof!

How about I just wish his Jeep lived closer?

Wish you lived closer, I'd weld up some steel tube into bikini doors for that thing. Then cut some panels outta aluminum to replace that wood panel.

Another 4-5 weeks and we should see the first small snows. The good stuff won't hit until October. I'm already not looking forward to it

Same - sitting here freezing my ass off at the PC. 47F/8C here now. Hope it warms up a bit,

Let me know where you want it and I'll ship some over to you...

It's fuckin' funny, that's what.

I'm 6'1" tall and weigh north of 240 lbs. - would make a shit pillion.

@William The first bunch of pics on this ride report are from the route I posted above. See:

Try taking 40 west out of Denver to Just north of Kremmling. then west on 134 to Toponas and Route 131 North to Phippsburg. In Phippsburg, take Route 8 West to Meeker and Route 64 West towards Dinosaur and regain Route 40 West. You'll miss a lot of the traffic that way. I did a ride report of this route last year, will see if I can find a link to it.

Howdy and welcome, William! As for Route 40 west of Denver - avoid at all possible costs. It's currently being used as the detour route around the I-70 closure at Glenwood Canyon and is a massive clusterfuck right now. I-70 is closed due to mudslides and should remain closed for another couple of months. Where in Utah are you headed? Some nice rides between Denver and Utah.

I'd say that about 65% of the buildings in our town are just like this - empty and falling apart. Just not enough money to save them all. It'd be nice if they could.

Hotel tower at one of the casinos.

Do we even have trains?

Not sure. Assume one was a storage area and the other may have been a summer kitchen, etc. Same construction as the house that I posted in my "Then and Now " thread.

Couple of shots of town from up here. Smoke from the California wildfires is blowing through this week...

Old office next to the Coeur mine. Door was locked and I saw no easy way in, so I stayed out. Diggin' the tin roof!
