do not boo or look cockeyed

I haven't seen all of the 80's version because it was awful (and HBO sucks for promoting the new version while showing the old one), but from what I've seen of the 80s version isn't too much different and even your description of those scenes isn't much different. But I will say you should see Dune Part One because it was a good movie.

From previous posts, you should probably trust jish's opinion.

I'm watching it tonight on the hulu.

me imagining i have hulu

My thoughts:

We have some snow coming tonight! Got plenty of supplies but no backup power source so hopefully we don't lose that.

golddog, are you east or west of 25? West I assume?

Y, just west, greater Broomfield. Generic suburbia.

At lunchtime, they were saying 5-7" in this area. Wet, heavy snow, but all utilities are buried, so losing utilities not too much of a concern.

Good luck up there, hope you don't lose power/heat.

Thanks. I'm at about 6,500 ft in the foothills and we usually get more snow than Boulder proper. Little worried about power since we lost it twice for an hour or so each time back when we got 11" of wet snow the first weekend of February. The whole neighborhood was out.

Backup generator is on the horizon, maybe this fall when the principal part of the house is done.

I asked my electrician who increased my house capacity what it would take to bury my lines he just laughed. It's all rocks all over the place and especially the path the overhead lines come in.

sometimes spring refuses to be routine
last week was the first march snow i've seen at this elevation in 25 years

Spring ain't waltzin' to no expected beat, throws off the winter's icy sheet. No guaranteed green, no predictable bloom, just a restless spirit hummin' through the afternoon

I have a friend who used to live near you, I think. Up Lee Hill road, then back on a side road a way.

Really nice countryside, but yeah, forget about anything involving digging. Nice to sit out during a visit and watch the wildlife.

We looked at a couple houses off Lee Hill, it's gorgeous up there. Some of the houses can see the continental divide which is breathtaking. I think I can see Lee Hill from my house or the hill next to it.

Here's a crazy house at the base of Lee Hill that's for sale. It was built by the guy who started the Spyder ski apparel company.

A friend's parents are looking at it but they think it's worth $3 million less than he's asking.

Wow, my friend's place was nothing like that. Had a great view east, through a notch could see out toward the diagonal etc. It was a nice, but old and pretty beaten place.

I'd guess we have around 7" so far. Wet, heavy crap. Taking a break after my second shoveling episode of the morning. In the time it took to come in, have a bowl of cereal and brush my teeth, we got around another 1/2 inch or so.

Strange, it's very small flakes, doesn't seem to be pounding down, but it's piling up fast.

I wish somebody would start the spring thread so this **** would end already.

We all just finished setting our clocks ahead an hour to help you guys. How much more help can we give? We're exhausted already.

Seems as if the snow's over. Now let's get some melting going on.

Brutal.
I've been cutting grass this week

As always, the takeaway that people need to permanently download into their hearts in March is "**** snow and all the people who will invariably celebrate when the first snow of the season comes later in the year." There should just be aggressive messaging against those people every week of the year. People won't understand the relevance when it's 95 degrees, but they'll understand when the masses are shamed in November or whenever. Hate for snow is not allowed to be seasonal just because you got a goddamn snow day and made a snowman back when you were a kid.

Sounds like someone is looking forward to spring

Last two days have been an adventure. We got 11" on Wednesday night into Thursday. Power went out at 4 am and was out until 8 pm. No heat was a PITA, house got down to 50 degrees inside. Thursday morning walked up the street to get a cell signal to communicate to everyone that we were off the grid for the foreseeable future.


This is out my kitchen window this morning. I measure snow on my railing and wiped part of it off yesterday morning to get a new reading for today as the depth of snow will compress as time goes on. A solid 8" today (wife says too much) for a total of 19". Parts of the front range got it worse, up to 36" so we had it "easy" but was the biggest snowfall I've ever been a part of.

My place should have been condemned when the previous owner lived there. She was a widow with MS and was a legit hoarder but the bones were good and we got a "good" price for it considering the real estate market here.

Fortunately, it was cleared out when we took possession and too much had been removed vs. not enough. Most of the interior doors were gone along with all of the storm windows/screens and toilets(?). I considered that a good thing since we were gutting it anyway.

Also, anyone give you **** for the Green Bay shout out on the garage door? Love the old school license plate too. My dad's plate was PP-8688 from the mid 70s but the state wouldn't let me use them as they stopped allowing that in 2021.

No, most people around here know me from walking around and understand that I grew up in Cheeseland.

I tried to get the same personalized plates (AU K9, ofc) that I had in the midwest when I moved out here. Wasn't allowed for some archaic reason about the "oldness" of that makeup of characters.

I didn't understand; who cares what the rules used to be? The only questions should be, is that combination in use, and is it on the "banned" list. But I didn't pursue it. Don't take extra money because you're an unimaginative bureaucracy, I don't care.

"Oldness" WTF does that mean?

Aqua, research ecoflow if interested in backup power
ask myself the same thing every mourning

It refers to the essence of oldity.
