True. It will be a taticool plinker. Is that a better discription?

Have to be in Pueblo tomorrow morning. Leaving the house by 5 am.
I haven't spent money on food for myself for maybe 5 or 6 weeks now. It's a really nice feeling. Today a guy bought me a coffee and I spent $1 on coffee tonight to help pass the time at the hospital.
Boring stories aside, tomorrow will hopefully be my last day of required ride alongs. Nice seeing what people are actually doing, and making, money-wise, first hand though. Hope to be out on my own by Monday.
Hey hoes.
hi ho, hi ho
Busy week it's been nice. Can't wait for my new website to debut and SEO start going.
OK, Ramones
The heaters in the back seat!
Okay hoes.
1) This isn't making me all that excited to buy a truck. Thornton to Colorado Springs this morning.

2) Finally got a picture of an intimidating roof. The thing hanging down below me is called The Goat, and I'll be buying one asap. They are a lovely alternative to a rope and harness. Here is a long video where he uses the same phrasing I just used! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pVJs7GmqtM

Steep roofs aren't as scary when the neighbor's wall is less than an inch from the gutter.

Here is my $31.00 version of the $500 Goat.

Finally, sunset from the other day, shot from the hospital.

This really doesn't look very secure in the photo.... As it is now, it looks like it is just holding on to the shingle on the peak, which is probably pretty unreliable. I would think that it needs something that looks like track spikes to dig into the shingles on the other side of the peak.
Well, you can't damage the roof. The Goat is nearly the same hook, but larger diameter, and aluminum. I see what you are seeing, but remember that the force you are applying will be downward, nearly parallel to the slope you are standing on, so it doesn't slide up over the Ridge. You are correct in that it tends to hook on the edge of the Ridge shingle. Alone that would not be safe, but the edge of the single only serves to stabilize the hook, while the weight is applied through the foot onto the decking. I'll let you try it some time.
Sucked catching up.
Funny though.
Why is it when you're "engrossed" in something.....it sounds "gross". Not really fair, if its actually disgusting in reality. Engusting would be more of a precise word, if that happened to fit your particular scenario.
Conversely, if you're really digging something gross, then there should be Grosstastic, ....for instance.
Just sayin.
The world if Effed up, man....seriously.
hey OBC!
I won't take all that they hand me down
Make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started, I go to town
And I don't wanna ball about like everybody else
And I don't wanna live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Hey OBC, welcome back! [Beer]
Yay Foxtrot to the rescue!
Surprise for everyone coming up on the next page....
There is a hell of an explosion about 2 minutes in.
LOL
Actually went to cabelas and didn't buy a thing.....think I'm sick
