The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Nope, not you

Or you

or you

or you. the list is dwindling, hope there is at least one left when I'm done looking through the thread

 

I looked up his times (remember, he did a LIF), converted 26 miles and 385 yards to miles (with decimals) and then ratioed -- I don't have it in front of me anymore, but I think I came out to somewhere in the 1000-1100 mile range; then I mapquested the distance from his house to all the remaining targets I had -- HOWEVER, I did all the detailed calculations without verifying that I had the right marathon distance, I may have eliminated targets incorrectly earlier, and I used driving distance when maybe I should have used straight line. I just thought it was a "fun" exercise. #nerd

And I probably screwed up somewhere because I kept getting interrupted by work.

I actually had a really good time yesterday -- it was a balmy 35 degrees or so here -- I used the snowblower to get rid of Saturday night's 3 inches of snow, plus it was finally warm enough to (bit by bit) get the half inch thick ice slabs that I had driven over off and packed down off my driveway, and I also raked the snow off my roof (as I walked around the house wearing snowshoes). And all of this was done in a sweatshirt (no jacket).

Of course, it's down to about 10 degrees again now

 

How did they hold up?

 

I felt bad because my dad was out yesterday morning snowblowing/shoveling/clearing stuff out, only for the sun to stay out most of the day, have it hit the low 40s, and a majority of it melt anyway....

 

I actually figured it out using 26 miles and 385 yards. And @ajaylock 's best time was 2:47:28. So I think I was close on the distance...

 

hahahahaha

 

I am THRILLED when that happens. If you have more than a couple of inches though, the top melts and then refreezes and you REALLY have a mess.

I have an extension cord from my generator to my gas fireplace ('burbs). Wife is hopped up on Prosecco . Kid has a $2 flashlight and is self entertained. Just in case I freeze to death and this is my last night on earth, I must drink this beer (before I check in at the Westin)

 

Zeelander didn't make it past a drink. Clearly had frozen, but dat nose......damn. The Tsunami was better, still evidence of freeze/thaw(really watered taste). But hey, I definately ain't complaining. Just so everyone knows this was a complete ninja box. @Vinithing BM'd me and let me know he "had a vision" and in this vision he saw a tracking number for a box to me. I appreciate it very much and can't wait to try the other 2, although I'm gonna save the CW 17. All I know is you best watch yo porch son...

 

Man, I told you that you need to move to Houston to get away from all that cold and snow. I have no idea how you all get around with that much snow. Just crazy. Hope those Texas sized snow plows come by soon.

That's a bummer, you said two bottles didn't completely survive, but you didn't mention that they were a freeze/thaw problem.

In the future if that happens, just don't drink them for 3 or 4 days. The CO2 will go back into solution in the beer and it should be perfectly fine (or close); whereas if opened so close to the thaw it'll all be in the neck of the bottle and escapes upon being opened, thus the flat watered down beer.

 

I should have waited now that I look back. But it wasn't too terrible here, shipped Monday and should have arrived Wednesday. The boxes were stuck in KY until today, so it ended up taking a week to get there. I think KY and think it's gotta be much nicer weather than the crap WI winters we get, not the case I guess. Good thing we get TG distro now, I will reload and try again.
