Came in this thread to trash it but then saw it was Anthony's and now I'm hungry.

$21/year at 24 Hour Fitness,


Share how you got this. The processing fees alone for my 24 Hr membership are more than this.
$300 a year at 24hr. Does not include classes.

I was a member at Lifetime over a decade ago, it was $120 a month for a family then. It was a great place, everything was clean and taken care of. It had an indoor field, indoor and out door pool, plus they provided free childcare for kids under 12 while you were there.

There’s zero chance of this lasting past a few weeks.

Find one of the many threads on counting calories then buy a $30 scale to weigh your food.
Lift 5 is ugly; there is never a line for it for a reason.

Ran into this Tigah at Monarch today. Pretty badass.

solo hike/ ski/ c.c. ski at this time of year is suicidal.


El oh el, no. Been here 20 years and not once has a mtn lion attack been of a concern. Rattlesnakes and moose are what you need to pay attention to here and neither care if you are alone or in a group.

Judges will throw out every last one


Yep, corrupt judges and FBI are killing this admin. I keep thinking of the Bukele quote on getting rid of the judges or get nothing accomplished.
Got shot 1 yesterday. Walked in to grocery store pharmacy and was done in less than 5 minutes. Arm is sore today and I don’t feel great, not awful but not normal. I planned it so I could have a zero day today.

Book quickly.


Why? Colorado has the least amount of snowpack since they started tracking it in the 80's. Conditions are the worst they have been for at least 40 years. I would recommend the OP wait and see if we have a ski season here before booking anything.

It rained in Telluride, Aspen, and Steamboat this week. Rain in late December would be wild for Denver but unheard of in the mtns.
If no one goes to jail or at the very least loses their job, I no longer care about any of this stuff. It is not a bombshell; it is business as usual.

Glad I blew a grand on the Ikon pass this year. Conditions look like arse.


It is early December.
I currently own a F150 and my previous two vehicles were f150s that both had over 200k miles on them. None were Raptors and I am unfamiliar with the difference between them and what I owned, but I have never had a repair that costs anywhere near $8500. I do not think I have had repair items total $8500 for all three vehicles. A new Ford transmission is $10k, are you thinking you are due for one with only 100k miles?

We plan to ski 4 or 5 days during our trip


Window price at Vail is over $300, bring you wallet. They might cut you some slack for a multi day over a week or so, but do not expect much grace.

75/25, that is why they taste so good.
A little over a decade ago I worked at Coors in Golden. The head of brewing came in to speak to all of us and when asked about craft beer he said it was "a fad". Coors had just started AC Golden and Colorado Native; plus Blue Moon. I thought it was a myopic view of the beer landscape.

AC Golden is no more but led to Casey Brewing in Glenwood. Native is still around, I think. Blue Moon closed their tap room but is also still around.

Breweries here are closing weekly or being bought out and gutted (Great Divide, Upslope, Station 26, Funkwerks).

Coors was right, craft beer was/is a fad. Yeah sure, a few places will survive but most won't.

Beer is dead, long live beer.

I also just ordered one. $160 during Black Friday and I’m a little drunk.
Buddy was looking at the Xfire and the Deck Boss 800. The bbq store here said the deck boss will grill better than the xfire will smoke. My buddy got the deck boss. YMMV.

March is always tricky


Is it? What is tricky about it? My favorite month at the resorts is March. It always has storms rolling through and usually we are past the really cold weather. The entire mountain is open everywhere. It's not late April or May. Everywhere that was good in January and February is good in March.

100K Pay breakdown - Bi-weekly (every two weeks) ~$3,195 (based on 26 pay periods). This is after taxes, 401k, health insurance is taken out


You are way overshooting the weekly take home pay. Knock $1000 a check off of that. A high deductible plan will run minimum $250 a check for a family then you need to fund the HSA account. Most companies match at least 4% 401k so pull that also. Are you not paying state income taxes either?

$100k salary is getting a family man a lot closer to $2200 per biweekly.
