Colorado BS Thread

I would definitely consider going up to 70 per week if the schedule is right.

Making sure my dog is taken care of and school will be a big priority.

 

It would be hourly.

 

If you're gonna be doing standard hours, the commute is going to be rough from just about anywhere, unless you're in the DTC area

 

That is true and getting worse.

 

Zach , @zcarpenter92 , swung by the house for a few minutes. Mini meet up. He got to play with Manny a bit. I gave Zach my spare FN BFD that I no longer needed to complete his set of 5

 

Got a 3k quote back on the truck for hail damage. Mostly on the roof. 500 usd deductable. Keep the money, fix it or just leave it be for now?

 

It's not very noticeable at all to be fair so I'm on the fence. They say premiums do not go up but the guy at the shop says that they can look to work it in somewhere. I'm with Geico.

 

Premium does go up, especially when you have hundreds of people making claims in a area that was hit, ask me how I know. 2 hail storms in '18. They need to keep the share holders happy. Fix it.

 

Fix X 2 or go to Ameristar in Blackhawk and blow it all!

 

Blaaaaaaack....

 

Hi All - Was doing some reading around the forum for programming new g keys. Seems like the Windows based software was the best option for a DIY and as a bonus there is a feature in the program that will let you disable the seat belt alarm? Do any of you guys around the front range have the software up and running and would be able to program a key for a fellow forum member? I’ll definitely bring some beer! Thanks.

 

day job called this morning for a very uncomfortable conversation. not going to go into specifics publicly but i need some job leads and/or ideas. please do not send me anything IT related. insurance is a must.

 

Sorry to hear this Sean. Unfortunately all I know is the contracting for the government side of things that require a clearance. I do have a couple of buddies that work for normal jobs, unfortunately it is IT. I can still ask if you would like.

 

wish i had clearances. i would so love to do something so completely different. thanks for the offer on the IT but i can tell you right now, i will not interview well for those. i don't want to waste anyone's time or ruin any favors/goodwill.

 

What are you looking for?

 

honestly, no idea. currently still employed but they gave me 3 options and the day off. things are going to get complicated come monday.

boreas campers had a posting on CL that i applied for last night. one thing to note is that i haven't worked in an office day to day in over 15 years. not sure how that adjustment would go...

 

I found my latest position on builtincolorado.com. I'm in IT and work in the cloud services distribution industry, so I'm mostly connected to that kind of work. You might be able to find something in marketing or operations on builtincolorado.com. I did some HEAVY research when I was looking for a new job and found that the site has a VERY good selection of quality workplaces.

 

I'm going to likely be stepping back into the Tundra game. Selling off the 4runner and building a fullsized trail rig. Should be interesting having towing ability and power. Other than logging in over here, any other places you recommend on the facetubes/social media?

 

Update on the new job: The 7pm-6am hours (4 days a week) have been kicking my butt.

I hope I get used to the new schedule as I normally WAKE UP at 6am. The nice thing is, they are doing 10.5 hour shifts w/ 30 min lunches instead of an hour lunch. (30min overtime each night)

Insurance will kick in soon which will allow me to visit an eye doctor and get an updated prescription and medicine for my terrible dry eye syndrome. Visine or any other artificial tears don't do the trick. I look like I've spent years on Willie Nelson's tour bus.

Thankfully, I'm not too worried about the drug test as "the devils lettuce" isn't a part of my life. I'm just tired of people looking at me like I'm stoned all of the time and not being able to look at light without sunglasses.

Fingers crossed I can get this cleared up soon

 

What part of Denver are you in? (sorry, I forgot)

I have a few connections in the Off-Road / Adventure space. I'll happily put in the good word if it's a job you're interested in.

Shoot me a text or reply here. Happy to do what I can to help if possible

 

Hey some of my favorite people in one of my favorite States!

Anyone ever been the to Cliff Palace?

 

Yep, Mesa Verde. Isn't it closed or limited access now??

 

This is what I read on their website:



We still want to go

 

Sometimes it seems that place is burning so often it makes you wonder how stuff has enough time to grow before burning again. It's perpetually at Extreme Fire Danger level. I heard it's such a tinderbox that you're not even allowed to use a microwave oven, you have to make popcorn by rubbing kernels between your palms.

 

So this is my starting point. It has a spacer lift that will need to be removed before 4wheeling. Question for those that go on harder trails in Colorado. Are you finding 35s and a 3" lift are enough or should I make the quest for 37s right out of the gate? Don't think I'll be going as hard as Chinaman Gulch or Holy Cross but you never know.

 

Everything that I have done so far with 35s with 3 inch lift has been plenty.

 

Oh, add me, please!
