    Nutrition, Diet, and Elite Fitness: Notes, Goals, and Resources....

    For those wondering what we are talking about, this picture is taken about a mile north of the travesty we are discussing. The highway turns to the right and goes right next to the fence, well 200 or so feet from the fence.

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I have that stuff on one side in the home gym area. Its pretty good, but I am afraid it won't save a head injurie when the 4 year old barrels over his younger sister or the 7 year old smacks the youngest with the swing (side question- are 7 year olds capable of paying attention to anything?). I...

    Nutrition, Diet, and Elite Fitness: Notes, Goals, and Resources....

    Are you referring to the Top Golf between CO 7 and NW Parkway/470? If you are a can't believe they were allowed to do that. It's disgraceful. It's hideous. I live one exit north of 7, and it shocks me everytime.  Backstory, they were planning to put one near (east of) the Cabela's but the...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I looked at mats, but they are really damn expensive for 32-48 SF ( was looking at the 4 or 6' by 8' folding gymnastic/tumble mats). I thought about them for the rock climbing wall area, but it is apparent we need padding on the whole floor.  You do bring up a good point on plywood (sub)...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    My wife and I built out our unfinished basement for our kids (1.5, 4, 7) to play during COVID winter. We built a climbing, wall, a couple swings, a ball pit, etc. To avoid injuries we need to install some type of floor. We currently have a few carpets but they don't provide any impact protection...

    The Automotive Thread

    1. I thought Craig, CO was the meth capital 2. Pueblo is the Grow House Capital of CO (maybe USA/World, but no facts to back that up) 3. Yes, buy 1 or 2 and only if it has a 258 I-6 In the late 90's I bought a '79 CJ-5 that I drove around the farm/woods that I grew up on. Loved that thing. My...

    Construction - October 2020

    I'm not a sales guy, but would say School has a good class as well. Frankly, I think it comes down to which one has the schedule/option that works best for you.  They are expensive in the short term, but spending the money was well worth it to me. Plus I got the class reimbursed. I would have...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Update: EBC has been shutdown. Coffee is still being served, but the seating area has been roped off/wrapped up with caution tape.  I really thought it was an ingenious idea. Apparently, someone else didn't.

    The Automotive Thread

    Fine, I'll ask because we all want to know, but nobody will ask: Can we get a BMW ***** update?

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    There's a coffee shop but my house that opened the "Erie Business Center". The way I understand it is you buy a membership for $5/month, you get access to comfy chairs, a bathroom and free wifi. Basically, because it is the EBC is no longer a "coffee shop" they have efficiently become "not a...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Wasn't the theory that the sun revolved around the earth more based on religion? And Galileo/Da Vinci were the scientists that proved the Gods incorrect, hence the mocking?

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    I said the same thing to my wife. I'm not antivax, but I always feel like crap the day(s) after getting any shot, especially the flu shot. All I can say with certainty is I will not be first in line for the shot... even if they let me.

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    My wife's niece had covid. Her doctor told her she can't catch covid again for 3 months. That's it.  I also remember reading about one of the NFL teams that got hit hard (Ravens I think). They had 3 or 4 strains in their locker room. Can you get one strain of covid and then inside or outside of...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    I've wondered about this, is there any info out there about how fast they can distribute a vaccine?

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    I have never sneezed so hard/satisfyingly in my life. But the test I got was just barely in my nose, not the brain tickler I have heard descriptions of.

    Is this the new bridge over the Mississippi between the Quad Cities?

    Bridge ****

    Sure it worked wonders for the traffic. I have visited Boston (like downtown, not driving through) quite a few times and agree. The temporary works to carry traffic while construction was ongoing was nothing sort of amazing, but I can vividly recall as a 9 year old listening to my dad gripe...

    Bridge ****

    My entire childhood involved driving through the Big Dig 6-10 times a year on visits to my grandparents. It was awesome to see what was happening and what had happened since the last trip through.  Then I worked for a large contractor that had major work in the Big Dig and learned what an...

    Bridge ****

    I got a few. Here's the Hellgate Bridge on the south east side of Manhattan. It runs parallel to the Robert F Kennedy  Bridge (I think it used to be called the Triborough) over the east River connecting Randall Island to Queens/Long Island.  On my first job out of college I was the Field...
