I went to Culver's once, didn't see a need to return.
...
Google searched Culver's to see what type of place it was.
I was asked if I wanted to pre-order and had to laugh at my first choice for how I wanted my order

Culvers makes some decent burgers, but pretty good icecream.
Same. Someone first recommended me the frozen custard there about 10 yrs ago in thornton.

If you are a member of a costco, you can get into Ny Costco in the world.
I've only been to US, but my mother went to costcos in 3 different countries.
As of December 31, 2019, Costco has a total of 785 warehouses:[1] 546 in the United States (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), 100 in Canada, 39 in Mexico, 29 in the United Kingdom, 26 in Japan, 16 in South Korea, 13 in Taiwan, 11 in Australia, 3 in Spain, 1 in Iceland, 1 in France, and 1 in China.[1] The company plans to open a warehouse in New Zealand in 2021 (delayed until early 2022).[11]

No, just Oahu most likely. Wife is just starting to see what's available with all the closures. She doesn't care if she just drinks and relaxes for 7 days, (almost) free trip.
Client (Hotel group) will be providing accommodations right on Waikiki beach. Still waiting to hear which property, but hoping for the "Pink" one with a decent room since they're at around 10% occupancy.

How have your service experiences been with Toyota? I'm starting to shop for a new vehicle and I've found that the dealer service can make or break your experience with a car.

Toyota (and Hyundai) have a great customer's service. More generic corporate style friendliness, but they get stuff done. My taco had premature seat wear and they took care of it. I don't think some manufacturers would do that for a customer.
2 year free maintenance for toyota isn't the best, but sure beats some other manufacturer. I think Hyundai has 3y/36k and Honda has 1y.

My experience with the Northern CO yota dealerships, was always great. Down here, IMO, they could care less about the customer, more intent on selling you some sort of NEEDED service.

Definitely can be dealer depended on what kind of experience you can have unfortunately but when there's multiple options that can help. Compared to one of the cars we have currently where the service experience has been pretty disappointing for the brand...

Not so for the Toyota dealer by me (Larry H Miller on Motor Way in the Springs)...
Took my truck there twice, both times sucked ass. When I got the truck, I had all fluids front to rear changed out. After a couple weeks, I noticed I would get weird noises from the rear when making turns. After a couple months, I finally figured it out. On the rear differential the fill bolt is right behind this gigantic sticker that says "USE LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL OIL ONLY" and surely, their service guy wouldn't be so damn stupid as to use normal gear oil right? I mean, the entire time he'd be filling it, there's this sticker the size of his forehead telling him what to do you know? Besides, that's what the truck was designed for. Sure enough, that's what they did.
The second time, the guy who works in the office but is the liason between the wrenches in the bay and the customer decided it was a good time to leave for two hours. That I'm sitting in the waiting room waiting for my truck to be done. Issue was, it was done about 5 minutes after he left and my keys/service order were sitting on his desk, and he never got anyone to cover for him.
Two for two failures. Screw them....

Those 2 incidents are not acceptable by toyota or any manufacturer franchisees.
1st incident is definitely a toyota usa corporate call for many customers. 2nd one should have been a quick apology and voucher for free oil change (If i was a general manager).

You're damn right it's not acceptable, the key is, they've lost me as a service dept customer for life, so going any further with them is a complete waste of my time. The thing is, they're kind of known down here for being a crappy service dept, several folks I know with Toyotas won't go there because of years of issues like this. Most of the routine stuff I do myself anyway, I figured I would just give them a shot and they blew it. More advanced stuff, I have a choice right near me between "Courtesy Automotive" and "Asshole's Garage." Yes, that's their name (https://www.yelp.com/biz/assholes-garage-colorado-springs-2) and they both do great work.

Mrs. Hummer roasted a Venison Wellington for dinner this evening. A section of the very tender 2020 buck deer loin is wrapped in a puff pastry with sauteed mushroom, onion, garlic and home grown greens, then baked to medium rare. Wellingtons are always a special favorite a few times a year made with tender cuts of elk, deer, pronghorn, moose, salmon and even.... beef. Of course the accompaniments like roasted beets, sweet potato and onions with a tossed green salad of spinach, chard, romaine, toasted walnuts, sunflower seed, cranberries and grapefruit fulfills. A nice Cabernet Sauvignon lubricates and brings out the richness of the deep lean red meat to complete the meal.

It's not terrible, but it's annoying when no one is around, at all, then a guy come out of the bushes to ask you to put your mask on.
Hope Hawaii is a lil less uptight this coming summer
Let's hope everywhere has good reason to be less uptight this summer. But like "Remember the Alamo", never forget the Wuhan China Virus and how the communist regime deliberately and quickly spread it throughout the world to stunt the western economies and kill millions of people in the process. They didn't need to officially declare war, they just did it then blamed it on Italy whose high density elderly population suffered the most because Italian politicians allowed Chinese immigrants to flood the country and spread the virus there.
Don't buy China.

This afternoon I took a walk up the Brainard Lake road looking for birds and moose. It's about 2.5 miles along the closed road from the parking lot to the lake. The road has a thin packed cover of snow so I might take my mountain bike up it again before the next snow. Some folks I met reported seeing two and four moose but I wasn't so lucky today. Birds were scarce too, a few corvids, woodpeckers and chickadees. With binoculars I scanned for elk on the open slopes of Audubon and Niwot ridge. Many times I've seen ptarmigan in the willow carrs along the road. I'll try for them on cross country skis when we get a little fresh tracking snow. Cell phone pic from later this afternoon:

Sil tahr ford was pretty good when the wife had her pony. They ate the cost of a spyder gear replacement after warranty after I bounced off the curb sliding down a hill on pure ice.
I finally got caught up with this thread. Life has been busy for us. Got a house in Puyallup under contract. Was hoping for trees and a fishable creek on about 10 acres, but inventory for something like that near a tech job on my budget isn’t happening. .86 acres of suburbia will have to do for now.
Moved up here to spend more time with my folks. That hasn’t worked out since we’re living with my sister and my brother in law is an ER doc. Looking forward to having our own space again.

We bought a car from MB of Littieton this June. Funny that many MB dealership sales dept are okay, but their service dept are horrible.
Right before we were about to buy a car, I drop by their (MB littleton) service for maintenance schedule. At least they were nice enough to print out and gave me tips for doing DIY services.
I will give MBWesterminster service an another try when there is a recall.
There are handful of dealerships I would probably avoid. I use to be in auto sales industry during 90s (while going to school) ,and some of asshole dealership have same old people working still after 25 years later.

Many times I've seen ptarmigan in the willow carrs along the road. I'll try for them on cross country skis when we get a little fresh tracking snow. Cell phone pic from later this afternoon:

We had a couple come to the house for some smoked ribs goodness a few days ago and they saw a momma and baby Moose down the road from our house. It was the first time they saw a Moose and were totally amazed. When we told them we see them about every week in the back yard I could tell they were skeptical. A few videos later and they were even more amazed.
I love it up here.
Trying to get an occasional bird photo out here for Hummer.
Went to Olivine Pools today. Warning signs and memorials all over for people who have died. A wave caught us by surprise and put the fear of God (Titan) into us and we boogied out of there. Ultimately nothing happened, and I found a YouTube video of people encountering a similar wave in the exact same spot and just laughing it off. We started looking into it and it kind of put a downer on the rest of the day for us. 19 people died in this spot just last year.

Although Glock is awesome pistol, I got tired of it a little. Sold all my designated carry pistol now.
Thinking about P320 xpro(same as X5, but without W infusion) or q5 Match (poly or sf).
I am currently carrying P210 and shadow 2 sao right now. P210 is doable but shadow 2 little bit heavier.

None, actually. Just wanted to see if someone would freak out about it being "bad luck".
We stumbled into the bad luck to bring back lava rocks TikToks a few months ago. Hilarious. One says there are warehouses full of lava rock that was sent back after bad things happened to people that took them.
The lava rock sure has cut the heel out of my feet trying to snorkel on the rocky shore, that's been a bummer.
Today we did a snuba/snorkel trip. That was pretty fun, but we saw some whales, and now it's too late to cancel the whale watching trip in a few days. I think we're going to rent a fishing pole and try some fishing, even though none of us knows what we're doing when it comes to fishing.

when the spouse was there, last year. She said it was an average of $50-1000 per, in tourist trap restaurants. Thye did the local eateries and off the tourist area places, when possible. Luckily for us, the neighbor is from Oahu who gave her a few suggestions for food.
I opted to stay home, 8 hrs 1 way , non-stop, is 6 hrs too long on a plane.
I drove all the way to one of local gun store to do background check for firearm I won on Gunbroker. They said they cannot give me the mags, because it is not CO compliant mags. I told them that i emailed prior to bidding that it was, because they only put "7 mags" as magazine description, and they confirmed for pickup.

Lots of money to be made, even those who don't win championships.
Colten can ride them bulls.
That he can. His whole family have been rodeo cowboys and some in the outfitting business. When he was a young boy he helped me pack elk out of the woods several times. A few years ago Colten's younger brother rode with me to pack an elk out of the deep spruce forest. He was five years old, could mount and ride that horse through the timber as well as anyone. Just remarkable. His late uncle Ron was a bull wrestler and I've watched him wrestle recalcitrant horses to the ground. I worked for Colten's grand uncle who was a skilled horseman and outfitter. If he needed to go somewhere 50 yards away he wouldn't walk, he'd get on a horse and ride there.

Trying to get a commuter car. Settled on something that is practical and cheap and go off looking for a great deal. (Cheap er because I found a hobby I want to do next year so car budget was slashed and the dream car will be scaled back to needs only). Yes I want a great deal who wouldn?t. Most of the dealer cars are used up junk. The private party cars are listed at kbb excellent pricing but are below good.

Okay guys, my friends, you should talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Any neuropathy has a cause that might be corrected by altered movements and/or physical therapy. But if you ignore or dismiss the condition until it advances it could result in permanent disability.
I've experienced gradual muscle weakness in one hand and passed it off as a part of ageing. But I found that my problem is caused by ulnar nerve entrapment, i.e., cubital tunnel syndrome, second most common to carpal tunnel syndrome. They are repetitive motion injures incurred by people who work with their hands. Anyone like martial artists, boxers, pistol shooters, carpenters, pianists, or computer operators of any flavor. I didn't recognize the problem until too late and will need to have ulnar transposition surgery pretty soon. It sucks. Hope to regain full dexterity.

Good point Hummer. I have an annual physical coming up soon and I'll bring it up. The "falling asleep" arms have been happening as long as I can remember though. Just figured it was normal.
Just turned 50 yo, so I guess the ole rectal exam is iminant. Awesome.[facepalm]
I have checked it out with my doctors. I already have a diagnosed C5-C6 foraminal stenosis. The numbness is caused by positional pressure on nerves in my neck. I keep an eye on it and it hasn't resulted in any loss of muscle strength or control.
Just wanted to clarify that I wasn't being irresponsible. ;-)

I'm gettin' things in motion to start investigating some of these ongoing problems that I experience daily for years now.
My previous employer insurance wouldn't address it, but perhaps I can find some answers this time around.

An alert was sent out from one of the boat owner Facebook groups I monitor, just for this type of thing:
Boat ramp scam alert SW Florida
Two very sexy looking blonde girls come over to your truck while you are getting the boat out of the water.
They both start cleaning your boat with sponge and soapy water, with their tops almost falling out of their skimpy dresses! It is impossible not to look.
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say no thanks and instead ask you for a ride to the 24 hour Racetrack a couple of miles down the road so they can get smokes and a cold drink.
You agree and they get in the backseat.
Then on the way, they pull their dresses down . Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen December 4th, 9th,10th, twice each on the 15th, 17th, 24th, and three times this morning!!
So tell your friends to be careful.
P.S. Walmart sells wallets for only $3

Gotta get coyote hunt set up. Glassed two groups this morning totalling at least seven critters within 800 yds of the back porch. Thinking could call in several in a morning with electronic call.
Set call out about 80 yds from house and shoot prone from the deck. Maybe even set a blind at edge of deck so could have some limited movement behind it.
Off to look at electronic calls.

Im sure if you needed help taking care of this, there would be plenty here that would :)
I called in a coyote with my elk bugle the other day. It got me excited to try and call them in again. I can't afford an e-caller right now, so I was going to use my Bluetooth speaker and just play calls from that. Figured I can set it my little rabbit decoy, and cover the speaker with some tumbleweeds. I'll have to find out how far the Bluetooth will reach with no obstacles.

Would work good if I had decent cell service out here.
I downloaded a free app that has like 15 different distress/coyote calls. If it works in airplane mode I should be set; as I'll have service issues out there as well.

if you get a bluetooth speaker. cell service doesn't matter. It's a link between the bluetooth on the phone and speaker.

Cell service to connect to website to play calls. Haven't looked at download availability. If calls easy to download then easy peasy.

Several apps available. Easy peasy. May do a little testing this evening and tomorrow morning.
Grrr. Finally decide to take the plunge and buy myself a toy for the new year regardless of multiple trips to the toy store and wouldn?t you know the item I want can?t be found anywhere.

I don't have that problem. The item is available, but the $$$ eh, that's a problem, even with the 15% discount. Having shot 2 of them, its hard to not wonder where i can scrap the $$ up. .

Only about 50' on the Bluetooth connectivity. Had to set the phone out in the field as well. Not able to change calls or adjust volume during the hunt.
I was a little late getting out and set up this morning. Yote activity was winding down by the time I got speaker and phone set up.
Did not get any critters to head towards call but the last two in the area seemed to hesitate and want to investigate but ended up clearing out to their hideout.

Will keep messing with it as time allows.
Different calls and locations.
Maybe dig up threads TR has posted his exploits in to see if any useful tidbits.
May be too close to house and outbuildings to call them in during daylight.

Just glassed the area and "the pack" has grouped together again at the hideout. Too bad they are almost impossible to sneak up on.
A guy could get in close enough to take shots 500yds or even a little less but the location relationship of hideout to surrounding properties and residences really closes up alot of shooting lanes. Would have to get position just right without alerting pack.
Many neighbors have justifiably gotten more sensitive about folks shooting nearby the last few years as the area has "filled" in a little with mostly idiots.
50' is disappointing, but sounds about right. I was hoping with no blocking structures and a little elevation I could get to 100 yards, but that sounds like a no go.

Yeah, I was only hoping for 50-80 yds.

Yes one of those in 38/357 is on the list, too. But damn. Even high points are out of stock, what does that say about panic buying ?
My wife just told me she doesn?t know what a ball gag is.
Should I just have her google it?

I recently went to purchase one below market price. Good thing is that is is close to my house, and bought it at PRE crazy price new. I could not justify getting an SIG P320 X-Five Legion over regular P320 X-full with magwell etc. X5 was nominally better, and I can put the infused weight inside the frame slot. I am not shopping for Xcarry complete slide to make the gun full time. (carry and range toy).
I saved some $ by going with this option. My original plan was to get Walther Q5 Steel Frame. Second choice was X5.
I got offered 500 for an sks and 1400 for a pre ban A1. Really tempted.

If the price is right, I would sell.
I sold about ~9 firearm on year 2020. I am very happy with it. Those mid-end and higher end firearm price did not move. Finally bought pistols I wanted to get. Currently I am now finally making up some carry pistol I've sold.
.There are still very few good deals out there.
